Lefty all my life. I was against the criminal Vietnam "police action" and the costly and downright stupid "war on drugs." Now against the Palestinian genocide, Trump's ongoing attack on our freedom, etc.
HuffPost: "Trump Posts Ugly Attack On Nancy Pelosi's Retirement"

Exactly what you'd expect...

This guy is pathetic...spends his life on his knees in front of his orange god.

Lindsey Graham, Nov. 3rd: “I feel good about the Republican Party and where we're going as a nation. We're killing all the right people ... Trump is my favorite president.”

Anyone else out there suddenly being followed by someone claiming to be Elon Musk?

It's obvious: We're on our own. The so-called "liberal mainstream media" is controlled by Trump and his toadies. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NYT, WaPo...

I guess Lindsey is pretty desperate, even this early in the game. Awww...

These are bad, but is any one worse than the others: Trump's obvious attempt to be king? The illegal assaults and arrests of people the Trump police state is targeting? The right-wing fanatics who want to "restore Christian values" -- a soft term for "shove our religious views down your throat"?

Per Raw Story:

"Deep-red MAGA fans hatch plot to oust Senate Republican for not being pro-Trump enough."

The senator in question is none other than Lindsey Graham, World's Greatest Trump Toady.

California is putting up $140 million in order to keep state Planned Parenthood facilities open. This comes after the US Govt cut their funding.

Three other states are also giving money to the organization, and more are considering doing the same.

Let's restart that previous post: I just read a NYT article where Lisa Murkowski (who else?) admitted that her Congressional colleagues had voluntarily given all their power to Trump, and "that’s not a good signal to the American public.” No shit, Lisa.

ProPublica headline:

"This Is Ground Zero in the Conservative Quest for More Patriotic and Christian Public Schools"

"This" is Oklahoma, where religious fanatic and former state Supe of Schools Ryan Walters decreed that Bibles be placed in every classroom.

Project 2025 in action, in your face.

I don't know the answer to "What can we do about Trump's many offenses?", but as to his tearing down the White House...WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Where are the "lawmakers"? The only comment I've found from prominent politicians is from Hillary Clinton, who said that Trump is "destroying" the White House.
October 22, 2025 at 2:46 AM
Trump is now bulldozing part of the White House so he can have a ballroom built. Will someone please arrest him?
October 21, 2025 at 6:23 AM
I don't know why, but of all of Trump's ass kissing, sycophantic MAGAs, Lindsey Graham annoys me the most. Trump, Miller, Bondi, Vance, Vought, Leavitt, Noem and the rest of that group are awful people, but there's something super slimy about Graham. He
deserves his perpetual Golden Kneepads Award.
October 20, 2025 at 2:41 PM
In the 2024 election there were 75,017,613* members of an organization that exists only in Trump's addled brain: antifa.

*(That number has likely grown by a couple of million since then.)

I wonder how many Trumpers and Trumpettes believe his bullshit. MAGAs? Certainly. Others?

What was that phrase you heard all the time during George W's time in office? Yeah, I remember: "If you're not outraged you're not paying attention."
October 16, 2025 at 9:44 AM
Just kinda wondering when people are going to stop referring to Repubs in general and SCOTUS in particular as "conservative." They are right-wing extremists.
October 16, 2025 at 9:28 AM
From the Oct 10 NYT editorial "Trump Disgraces American Justice," regarding his attempts to jail his political opponents and "enemies." One sentence sums up how we got here: "Most Republicans...have remained quiet, fearful of the president." It should be noted that the same holds true for Dems.
October 15, 2025 at 6:44 AM
Let's say the Israeli-Hamas cease-fire does happen. Does anyone doubt that Trump will DEMAND!!! the Nobel Peace Prize, then go into a full meltdown worthy of a spoiled toddler when he's told he's not on the list?
October 9, 2025 at 10:12 AM
When the fuck will the media stop saying "Trump's crackdown" when there's nothing to crack down on? Portland...L.A....Chicago are not going up in flames. He's lying. So why buy into the lies? Cowards.

Illinois Gov Pritzker: "There is something genuinely wrong with this man [Trump], and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.”
October 6, 2025 at 1:30 AM
HuffPost headline: "White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller declared Saturday that a judge blocking President Donald Trump from mobilizing troops to Portland was a 'legal insurrection.'"

How can anyone have the slightest doubt that this guy is both evil and mentally ill?

I admit I don't watch Leavitt's press meetings, but have any reporters asked her point blank why the ICE punks are brutalizing innocent people AND getting away with it? (Yeah, I saw the video of the guy throwing a woman at a wall and the "he's getting suspended" bullshit.)
