I’m wondering how many Democratic Senators donated money or food to organizations to help those negatively impacted by loss of wages or SNAP benefits during the government shutdown verses the number of Republican Senators who did?

The comedians on late night shows last night had something to say about this Oval Office photo yesterday.
The photo really is a metaphor for the second term of this narcissistic sociopath who has no empathy for his fellow beings. He has no clue what to do.

He lied to US on air about the East Wing! Why are the Republican lawmakers okay with this? He has destroyed part of our architectural and presidential history.
For what?
We don’t NEED a giant ballroom.
People do need to feed their families and AFFORD health care.

Building a giant Ballroom during a Government Shutdown is just another “Let them eat cake” action
by the gilded leader while people are losing their jobs and benefits or having to work while not getting paid.

As Secretary Clinton said, “It is your house. It is not his house. He is destroying the White House.” He lied just before demolition saying the East Wing wouldn’t be tough.

According to Speaker Johnson protestors at NO KINGS rallies comprise the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party!

Here’s my advice to our Democrat Leadership. Get a clear, concise message out explaining why you won’t side with Republicans in opening up the government.
You all must be clear on the message and stick to the message! Families can’t pay both food and double insurance premiums! Congress must help.

Let’s Boycott Disney!
* Cancel your Disney and Hulu subscriptions.
* Don’t purchase Disney products anywhere from Disney stores to local Walmart and Target stores.
* Don’t go to Disney Parks or Movies until they change their actions!
I really like Disney, but I love the First Amendment more.

Where are our Senate and Congressional Democrats
standing up to the blatant violations of the First Amendment?
Are the news media organizations afraid to show dissenters and protesters in their news shows? Is the almighty $ more important than the Fourth Estate and the First Amendment?

Watching the late night talk shows is how my husband and I cope with alarming events in our country. We watched Seth Meyers last night. He looked and sounded like he had been suppressed/stifled/silenced/repressed/muted/quelled/gagged/restrained. Where is the First Amendment?

This is what Fascism looks like, feels like, and sounds like. Silencing the opposition, destroying our freedom of the press, and limiting our freedoms of speech and assembly are tactics used by Fascists to destroy democracy. I believed our First Amendment was sacrosanct!

Here we are again with a mass shooting at a school. We mourn the loss of life of two littles and the loss of innocence of all the students at that Catholic School in Minneapolis. We pray for the victims and their families and friends. Now let’s pray with our feet and DO SOMETHING about gun violence.

Why does Ukraine have to give up anything? They were illegally invaded, had land and children stolen, had major damage to infrastructure, businesses, and homes, and had so many people killed. Russia is the aggressor! Any peace means Russia losing what they think they now control!

What a hypocrite! He won’t allow people to hit or spit on police officers or military NOW? He pardoned insurrectionists that tried to kill police officers at the Capitol on January 6!
Arrest the rioters who attack and destroy, not the peaceful protesters.
