It's time for a reality check...

The US Congress has been shut down for over three weeks. Why? Because Republicans want to withhold even the table scraps of federal assist programs.

Why are Dems not fighting to the death for real reforms like universal healthcare, living wages, public education?!

Britain has got one, too. We all might as well go live under the fucking Taliban.

Are there two May's? I don't get it. Chill out, gal.

THE UNITED $TATE$ OF PROFIT

It will take effort and time, but I want a critical mass of Americans to fully realize that the dynamic engine of production and consumption we call America is built for the rich. You are a worker/consumer pawn. They don't care about you unless you make them money.

I'm not aware of not replying to you, May. If I've been careless, I apologize.

Poorest Countries in the World 2024 The world’s poorest countries suffer from civil wars, ethnic and sectarian strife. Soaring inflation has made their situations worse.

From Global Finance Magazine - September 11, 2025:

"The world has enough wealth and resources to guarantee a decent standard of living for all of humanity."

To me, this is the alpha-to-omega truth of mankind on Planet Earth. How have we strayed so far?

Questionable NFL officiating again takes the spotlight in Week 8

I essentially loathe professional and collegiate sports. We are addicted to the colorful spectacle that has only one purpose: make money for advertisers, team owners and league officials.

Yep. Absolutely. One must remember that it was the citizens of the colonies, not a trained and well-equipped standing army, that defeated the British in the Revolutionary War.

One must ask if the citizens still have the courage and conviction to wrestle the nation from the clutches of a tyrant.

The single most important and urgent question in the world:

Can you set aside your personal interests and preoccupations to participate in massive protests, boycotts and walkouts?

Large and sustained shutdown of the profit/exploitation machine is the only power we have to end the madness.

I see it very clearly now. Trump is a lunatic, unaware of reality. He lives in a dream delusion of his omnipotence.

We were unprepared for such a being elevated to this undeserved, unearned state of privilege and power.

He IS destruction, sucking everything into the maw of his black emptiness.

Set him on fire. Really.

Want to fix America? You can't even begin without fully understanding what 'America' really is.

Democracy, capitalism, evangelical Christianity are all illusions, chimera, cover-ups for a machine whose sole purpose is accumulating wealth and power for a few.

You have to discard all other notions.

Business as usual.

Yep!

Bingo.

So, why is Congress doing everything possible to prevent release of the "Epstein files"?

Because a lot of them are in it.

Money, power, sex with young women. Epstein got filthy rich being the middleman, pimp, and procurer, the sex trafficker for the rich and powerful, Including many politicians.

I looked in the crystal ball and I see Pam’s future as being prisoner 123456.

Yep. Worse that AWFUL.

Millions are about to lose SNAP but the petulant child in chief rather whine about a commercial played on Canadian TV 🙄

This is one of the great truths of Americas decline and the impoverishment of the working class. NOBODY talks about it, but it's been staring us in the face for decades.

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.

Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Go Jack!

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

Tom, this is a full-throttle, inhuman assault on the bottom third of our income strata. Soon, it will be happening to over half. At some point, the "stuff" is going to hit the fan.

Yep. We are in deep shit WAY over our heads.

I live with it in my head, seething 24/7. He is evil incarnate.

Let this sink in ⬇️😡

This is more raving from a brain-dead lunatic. NOBODY should believe any word coming out of his mouth. This is nonsense on its face. Total bullshit.
