Many of us, myself included, expected more from mainstream media.

We gotta get over that. Bottom-line, they are all corporate-owned.

And the owners all bending over backwards for the Felon.

Trump’s tariffs are costing his rich pals billions The billionaires who gleefully bought front-row seats to President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January seem to now be living out a horror movie—except, instead of dying, they’re bleeding ...

So who is benefitting from these tariffs if it isn't us and isn't the billionaires?

Is killing the American economy a win for Putin?

Help a guy understand.

The name Chuckold Schumer mean anything to y'all?

Wrote it down after a bad dream.

Oh well.

"Musta thought it was white boy day."

My long distance "Scanners" skill isn't what it used to be.

(Look up the movie Scanners. Pretty wild.)

Are we certain it wasn't mass suicide?

Shame could be a major factor in the vehicles' decision.

Anybody know how to apply for a job with Soros?

Will take "paid protester" but really after that "crisis actor" gig.

Skills include:

- Some acting and improv experience
- Already left-leaning
- Irony
- Ability to overlook the fact that neither job is a real thing.

Dems need to get organized and have daily public briefings.

Johnson Tries to Shrug Off Anti-DOGE Town Halls as the Work of ‘Paid Protesters’ “You can’t argue they were all paid protesters,” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins immediately shot back at the House Speaker.

Paid protesters. Yeah, right.

And "not all"? Just tell the MFer that's a conspiracy theory. Don't give him any leeway. Stop playing into the rhetoric.

I don't order from Amazon any longer. I cut way down years ago and really only paid for stuff with cc points.

Stopped using the credit card in January, and will be killing it next month when I'm sure I've moved all auto-payments using it.

Still working on my wife.

Mystery DOGE Leader Finally Unmasked—And It’s Not Elon Musk The White House has given up on keeping the DOGE administrator a secret.

A name to remember.

"Amy Gleason, a 55-year-old former official at the U.S. Digital Service ... is said to be the “acting administrator” of Elon Musk’s DOGE goons stripping down the federal workforce."

Let Him Think He's King In reality, Trump has failed to establish the overwhelming dominance he needed in his first weeks in office

Not sure I share the optimism, but I want to.

"...Americans increasingly feel Trump has abandoned his core promise to lower prices and overstepped his authority as president."

I love it. But why "buy" a bible. lol

Not sure she uses that word correctly.

Indeed. THAT tide has to turn. THEY need to be hurt by him.

Even then, they might believe him when he says it was the "deep state" or something.

Felon supporters really thought they'd be spared.

That he would go after wokeness, LGTBQ and minorities.

That he would only hurt the libtards.

Yet we all rely on some very basic shit.

And those basics are the real targets.

Little things like law, safety nets, and democracy.

Is this thing on?

"Ignore it and it will go away" really only works with relationships and jobs.

Time to revisit this statement.

I know blocklists named "MAGA" or "Scammers" sounds like great ideas, but quite often they're used to block resisters.

If you can't vet the full list, maybe don't use it.

At the very least, only consider lists maintained by accounts you REALLY trust.

Yup. Heard about earlier and blocked her.

Been saying for a while blocklist just aren't working. Too easy to manipulate people with them.

Need to figure out another way.

Barring much more radical and effective means of removal, yes.

There was a plan laid out for this for the public to see.

It was called Project 2025.

But nooooooo he wouldn't do that.

He's only going to hurt OTHER people.

I am reminded of...
