As an American, I don't mind that the Canadians are grateful that they're not Americans. We did this to ourselves and half of us are still too stupid to see that.

A couple hundred veterans demonstrated in Chicago and then marched thru the streets. The sponsoring veterans group was About Face, an anti war group of vets. Police were present but there were no problems. We need more Vets participating

Didn't she sue Fox for sexual harassment? What she means is she doesn't care if other women other than she and her daughter get sexually assaulted.

Maybe they need to rebrand themselves. How about "Karens for Christ"?

This is just one of the many reasons that I deleted my Facebook account 10 months ago. I don't miss it at all.

I'm sure that he owes a lot of people money but don't know for sure who. Maybe the Supreme Court gave him immunity from paying his balls also.

LOL, You wouldn't be the first contractor that Trump has stiffed and you knew that when you took the job. Lots of luck collecting from the Grifter in Chief.

Never play word games with teachers. Odds are pretty good that they're smarter than you

Young women, you need to talk to your husbands, boyfriends, brothers and fathers and if you're white, you probably need to talk to your Mom also.

The only good thing that man ever did was oppose Trump in 2024.

I wish Trump would try to arrest Mamdani so he can see what 2 million (the voter turnout, could be more) pissed off New Yorkers looks like because he'll see them on the streets.

The results of Dems winning elections in blue cities and states aren't remarkable but the margins of victory are encouraging.

I'm very happy that Dems won those races but it's not a blue wave. It's Dems winning elections in blue states and cities, elections that we should win. The only remarkable election outcome was Mamdani, a democratic socialist, winning in NYC.

Stupid people are allowed to vote which is how we ended up with Trump as President....twice.

What's wrong, Stephen? Are you afraid of being grabbed on the street by heavily armed masked men, gassed, beaten, and then body wrapped and thrown into an unmarked van and taken to a secret location without being able to contact your family just because people don't like what you are?

Did he gas, arrest, and zip tie the asphalt for tripping him obstructing him ?

we shouldn't be giving Israel a dime until they get rid of Netanyahu and his fascists.

He wouldn't be the first young serviceman to go out and get drunk and come back with a bad tattoo. Let him run. At least he seems honest which is a good start.

We need more like him but unfortunately American soldiers are recruited from the American public and that kind of courage is rare in this country

I don't care much about pro sports. It's millionaire players, hired by billionaire owns to play a game in a stadium funded by taxpayers so we can overpay for tickets food etc or be subjected to endless commercials but as an American, I am pulling for the BlueJays.

That's just more cruelty for the sake of cruelty and is what Trump and MAGA are all about. They have no problem harming children.

Many Americans think the military should disobey "illegal" orders and you're right, but unless you've served in the military, and most of you haven't,you have no idea the consequences of doing that even if you're right and you'd better not be wrong. This man is braver than you know

Trump always punches down. It's what cowardly bullies do.

I've always said that it's better late than never but not in this case.
