I'm a lifelong Democrat, blue in AZ. Boomer, dog mom, feminist. Happy to meet new like minded friends and see so many old ones. Do not speak or read Turkish, just English and some Spanish No bio no follow.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

Viola Liuzzo was killed for transporting people on The March on Washington day. She answered the call when Dr. King asked all races to help out.

Trump lied.
The GOP lied.
About everything.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I’d like to skip to the part where everyone acknowledges that the President of the United States is insane. Please.

I propose a new law:

Anyone who expresses support for an offensive war shall immediately be drafted to fight in it. No exceptions and no exemptions for any reason, including disability or service as a government official in any office. Presidents and congressmen shall fight in any war they start.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

Republicans in the Senate killed the bill requiring Trump to act under the War Powers Act. It seems as if they are willing to cede their responsibilities to him. If they won't do their jobs, they should resign and if they won't, let's vote them all out.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
