I am so tired of this classless, clueless embarrassment of a president.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

BREAKING:

A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media — which oversees Voice of America — and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.

The media often treats Trump like some sort of Zelig-like character, a mere bystander in his own administration w/no agency or ability to shape decisions. It's really infuriating considering Biden and Obama were both expected to own everything going on in the country all the time.

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.

Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.

No human should experience war. Period.

Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

As I started reading I said to myself I know this story. The petrochemical industry couldn’t give a shit about people or the planet. A few dozen executives get super wealthy and everyone else be damned. If you’re able to, fight this in whatever way you can. Tough times need tough people.

Republicans love to call themselves the party of law, but reality suggests otherwise. Truth is they expect Democrats to obey the law while Republicans are exempt.

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.

That’s what I’m talking about! ICE as an entity is forever tarnished and cannot continue. Border security badly needs a complete reset that prioritizes facts, national interests and safety, not propaganda.

You can argue with me about many things and keep me as a friend, but racism is never one of them. It's sad I have to trim down my circle of friends because they show their true colors. Makes me wonder why I was ever their friend in the first place. I'm tired of the constant drama. It's exhausting.
