The question I ask myself, and the question all Americans should ask themselves, is what are we willing to do to save democracy? It is being taken from us by a fascist, criminal government. How far do we let them go? Where do we draw the line?

It's beyond infuriating that you and I are paying for Trump's Las Vegas Howard Johnson Ballroom, his golf trips, his desecration of the Rose Garden, his diapers and make-up. We need a tax revolt.

Trump cheats
- on his wives
- on the golf course
- on his taxes
- on the American people

Trump knows exactly who he works for, the oligarchs and elites. He does not work for the American people and never has.

It's not an 'echo,' it's the real thing: Fascism. And it's underway right now. The media continues to soft-pedal reality.

Least surprising headline of the day. So far.

We live under a dictatorship. No law except what Trump says it is. No checks and balances. It is all up to us, the people, to rise up and fight for a return to democracy.

Our tax dollars are paying for this. We are paying for this.

Too many Dems still support the system that allowed Trump to rise to power. They may hate Trump and what he's doing, but they also don't want to change the current structure that allows them to get rich in congress.

Senate confirmation is a mere formality today. Trump could nominate Kid Rock to be Ambassador to Mars and it would fly through congress.

The Trump administration is a criminal organization, so hiring swindlers, cheats and con-artists is par for the course.

True, and it's the media's doing. Owned by oligarchs, the American media isn't going to bite the hand that owns it, so they will never connect these deeply troubling dots and expose the wider problem.

Police and ICE arrest peaceful protesters, yet let these hateful thugs march around freely. So it's now left up to us.

The man who thinks windmills cause cancer wants you to believe he knows more about statistics than hundreds of experts who've dedicated their professional lives to the subject.

I'm not being sarcastic when I say they will start seriously demanding Trump's head be added to Mr. Rushmore and statues of him will be erected soon. This is a dictator and narcissist, not a president.

The media is either whole-heartedly in Trump's camp or so intimidated by him they just can't bring themselves to report honestly on what's happening. They can't even call a lie a lie. Trump IS a dictator. It's no echo.

03.08.2025 15:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Absolutely. Trump and his oligarch backers will never allow Democrats to take control of congress, let alone win the presidency.

Republicans care more about fetuses than actual children being raped.

They used to call us heretics and pagans. They tortured us, murdered us, burned some of us at the stake. They started wars to convert us and even today are still trying to force their religion on us. Christian hate isn't new, it's just been rebranded.

Keep pushing. Don't let them off the hook with these non-answers. Real journalists demand real answers. That's their job.

The videos of Trump cheating on his course in Scotland are priceless. Such a petty loser but, even when he's caught he gets away with it.

I'm sure this was coordinated with and approved of by Putin. "Vlad, listen, I need a distraction here so I'm gonna pretend we're on the brink of WWIII. That okay?"
"Da. But you owe me. Again."

This is all thanks to the oligarch owned media. They've been soft-pedaling the fascist takeover of America since the beginning. They still can't call a lie a lie.

The entire Trump administration is above the law, including Dear Leader himself. With the FBI and DOJ under Trump's thumb, they fear nothing.
