I miss that too. But even then we knew it was all under threat.
We didn't know how extensive that threat was. We didn't really know it was a highly organized takeover of everything we had and have in American life.

Either they don't care or they're cowards. Or they're simply too stupid to recognize what's right in front of them.

I hear that a lot of WI Medicaid recipients lost their health care last week due to unemployment. Some, if not many of those people have disabilities which interfere with getting and/or keeping jobs. It must be hard enough without losing health care too.
Do something.
When isn't he?
11.08.2025 23:14 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0"No Mr Nice Guy"? When was he ever?
The only time he pretends to be "nice" is when it's part of a con job. He cares about nothing but himself. Other people are either in the way, or a vehicle to get what he wants.
He should be removed from this job, for which he is 100% unqualified.
DonOld caused enough damage. It's time put in a person with real medical credentials and respected experience. The US needs someone far better in this dept, and not a person who has been totally compromised.
During the 2024 election period, I often had a visceral feeling about what might happen.
Now I have that sort of feeling all the time. Unless one is among the very wealthy, unwelcome things are happening or are about to happen to many of us.
Everything AOC โค๏ธ says,Is Worth

Starting with Citizens United, which should be overturned.

And most people don't know that it's exempt from tariffs.
For some people it's not so easy, especially at this time. Some people really can't get a job right now. Some of those people are disabled, but not physically disabled. And some cities or towns have very limited opportunities available.
There are a lot of reasons for unemployment.
All good things. Glad to see Single Payer Health Care first on the list.

10.08.2025 17:44 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0He only cares about politics as it involves himself desperately trying to prove he deserves attention and respect. He cares that his word will decide about people's health. He cares that people are impacted by his ill-advised decisions, but not about whether they are wise decisions or not.

08.08.2025 22:58 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0What they're doing with that wealth is keeping it for themselves and making more money on it. What they're doing with the power is wielding it over politicians to make sure they pass laws that will ensure that the wealthiest and most powerful remain that way, and add to it.
08.08.2025 22:39 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I think what he really wanted was to get more national recognition and some power for himself, not just as the son of RFK. So he got those two things, and is now despised by an awful lot of people, including me.

But whoever was filming it got several unmasked faces. The camera could be zoomed in and enlarged to try to identify them.
He's so blatant about his corruption, lies and cheating, that an investigation seems superfluous. But if this goes anywhere, there will be one. I'd bet that JD is secretly hoping for it. I'd like to see him impeached too, but I'll settle for DonOld's first.
08.08.2025 16:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Don't forget cheating, lies, grifting and corrupting every dept and agency, plus the man is a convicted twice impeached
criminal.
Not hard to believe. He always just takes whatever he wants.
08.08.2025 15:26 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Someone should open an investigation into her. Everything she does, and everything that she's allowing to happen in that dept, has looked corrupt. Definitely not independent, she takes direct orders from DonOld.
The Supreme Court has created an out of control monster.
We all saw it coming.
Gaudy, awful taste. Waste of taxpayer money!

07.08.2025 17:38 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Nope. We know she's lying. We know he's lying. But the victims are truthful, even though it's very difficult to talk about it.
07.08.2025 17:37 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0More evidence that he's gotten a lot worse with time. This time he's got a lot of accomplices with extreme agendas who will also protect him from accountability - at least for now.
