This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Trump is trying to seize the affordability mantra, but it's too late, he's already lost it. Dems need to continue to blame Trump for high prices and high inflation. And imagine what will happen to people's insurance costs come January with no ACA subsidies.

At the time Trump initiated all the tariffs, he said consumers wouldn't pay for them nor would they increase prices. Now he says he's lowering tariffs which would reduce prices to consumers. What an idiot.

Imagine the Fox coverage if a Democrat were identified as someone who spent hours with one of Epstein's sex victims. Imagine the conversations at Fox news about not mentioning any of this on the air.

So we now have confirmation that Trump is a sexual predator and spent time with one of Epstein's sex victims. I'm sure Republicans will abandon him and force him to resign.....Just kidding.

Trump says inflation has been defeated and prices are way down. The American public knows the truth. Trump doesn't live in reality, hosting a $$$ 1930's style extravagant party while families try to feed their children.

For the sake of a balanced media, Comcast or Netflix or another media company needs to buy Warner CNN Discovery broadcast media to keep it out of the hands of Trump loving moguls Larry and David Ellison.

This is all the fault of Sheri Redstone, the billionaire heiress who decided to sell out the employees and history of CBS just to make more money.

Billionaires supporting Trump's autocratic policies absorb multimedia corporations, gut their news divisions & destroy the Tiffany network. Walter Cronkite turns in his grave as CBS as we've known it will no longer exist. A dedicated viewer of CBS programming for years, but I am no longer.

Wall Street cheers a 3% inflation rate(?), meanwhile, downstream consumers continue to see their costs for goods and services rise. A complete disconnect between Wall Street and real consumers.

I hope the next president tears down Trump's gaudy ballroom and restores the original design of the East Wing.

We should be protesting against ring wing SCOTUS judges who are giving Trump card blanche to rule as an authoritarian power.

How can it be that we have reached the point where a hand full right wing SCOTUS extremists can destroy decades of racial equality and purposefully allow racial discrimination in voting districts.

Thanks to John Roberts and right wing SCOTUS justices.

The only reason Trump is pushing a mid east deal is because he thinks he'll win a Nobel peace prize. A president declaring war on American cities and citizens should never be considered for such a prestigious honor.

In the future should Democrats treat red states the same way Trump treats blue states? I find that a profound question because I'm completely against Trump's campaign of retribution towards states & individuals, yet Republicans should know 1st hand what it feels like to be constantly under attack.

I skip over any post or article that mentions Trump. I'm so despondent about the news in general that I can't stand to read anything whatsoever that mentions that jerk.

Trump is a completely lawless individual, who never had any intention of following the law. Right wing SCOTUS justices are complicit in abdicating authority to an autocrat.

Right wing SCOTUS justices continue to take a knee to Trump, handing more autocratic authority to a demagogue. SAD for America.
