Trump tells us that economy grade is “A plus plus plus plus plus”. Yes!
Reminds me of when I told my Dad I expected five A’s in fourth grade. It didn’t end well since the truth was a little different. Tonight didn’t go well for Trump. First time in 28 years there’s a Democratic mayor in Miami.

I well remember when the Coast Guard interdicted boats or ships at sea that were carrying drugs. The drugs were confiscated and those on board were arrested and subjected to criminal proceedings. Now America kills people on the water. In our name. Show us the video.
Now.

I apologize for the
Typo. I did not get a
Peace “price”from my Homeowners Association. It was a Peace “Prize”. The first one the organization. ever gave. Like the President I am proudly wearing it. The gold never
gets old.

Today I got a peace price from my homeowners association. They made it into a beautiful medallion and put it on a chain right next to a key that opens up a the most important door
to the recycling bin . And the medallion is gold. I couldn’t be more proud. Just wanted to share the news.

Yes human beings come in many forms. That should be celebrated not condemned. No group is “garbage” as stated by Trump. . The only garbage comes from
purveyors of hate and bigotry. Their words should be condemned and belong in the garbage can. Thanks to political leaders & clergy for speaking up.

Trump says all he wants is to “save lives“.Meanwhile he’s turning small boats into killing fields,wreaking havoc on vaccines, backing his secret police as they slam people to the ground and send them to dangerous prisons,ruining healthcare for millions &
letting Putin kill with impunity. Phony!

GOP has gone after Obamacare 70 times. Now they are attacking their own people who get insurance thru Obamacare exchanges. GOP : Simply extend tax credits for a year and work on changes. Or you are going down even harder than anticipated just because you are obsessed with ruining Obamacare.

These televised cabinet meetings should become a new TV show called:
“Pick the biggest kiss-up”.
Prizes could include orange lipsticks. These meetings are so predictable and boring that even Trump keeps falling asleep. He woke up in time to say “affordability” is a “Democrat con”. Sure.

My 10-year-old sofa has better rating than MAGA House of Representatives which is at 16% approval.
The MAGA speaker should immediately bring up the bipartisan bill so that millions of don’t lose insurance they buy on the exchanges. That will get MAGA time to study Trump‘s “concept of a bill.“
Sure

Hegseth in deep trouble. Not only as SecDef but as a human being. Watch South Park, where he is thrown in jail. His apparent killing of two who were clinging to raft in order to live, clearly shows why veteran lawmakers are so worried about law violations. Heartened to see bi/partisan concern.

Trump can’t stop denigrating
women reporters
nor can he accept
responsibility when his Administration could have made a vetting mistake that led to tragedy from his
militarizing our cities. ..another failure. The more he yells at reporters the more obvious it is that he can’t face the failures.

In Thanksgiving unity message, Trump called a Governor a big fat slob, & insulted a mayor who has a masters degree in education. This after announcing his prosecution of a war hero for speaking truth. Word has it the pardoned turkey said: “even if you have to kill me, get me away from this guy”.

President bone spurs going after hero Sen. Mark Kelly.What did the Senator do? He actually quoted the military code of justice which says our troops do not have to obey illegal orders. But then again, Trump wouldn’t know legal from illegal given his history. More backlash coming.

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

My state relies on unspoiled coast for tourism, jobs and a responsibility to preserve the gift nature has given us. Now Trump wants to drill and destroy after years of bi-partisan protection. We won’t let it happen. Hey hey Donald
J… what else can you do
to ruin our day?

Imagine a U.S. President telling someone it’s no problem calling him a fascist. And that barely gets any news.

Yes Colleen, I agree that a clinical narcissist like Trump will never apologize. My post is supposed to be sarcastic as I stated the obvious point that following the law is righteous, not treasonous. Best, BB

Earth to Donald Trump: if something is illegal, no Americn should ever do it. Perhaps you meant to say that members of Congress who remind us to respect the law are patriots. But you called them traitors. Please clarify ASAP with apology to follow.

Presidents usually lose seats in midterms. Now: a Potus who brings chaos, job loss, healthcare loss, calls women reporters “piggy“, “terrible” , treats a prince who is implicated in a journalist’s murder like a God, and sends a “sick, pervert” to cushy prison.
Plus trashes White House.
20 seats?

Trump calls Epstein a pervert. True! So what does that make his partner Ghislaine Maxwell?
A pervert. Guilty & treated by Trump as dear friend whom he sends to country club prison. A child predator! No wonder Trump’s melting. His actions speak volumes & his words don’t even work with the cult.

Trump in full melt down. Trashing & insulting free press, threatening a network for two appropriate questions, naming Democrats he said he KNEW were close to Epstein although he “broke” off from Epstein. So why was he mentioned 1000 times in Epstein files. Truth is coming.

Trump calls his biggest supporter “a traitor” . MAGA, leave cult! he’s treating you badly too: walking away from promises to lower costs, deport only criminals, & invest in USA, not countries like Argentina while letting millions sink into healthcare debt & job loss. Leave the cult.

Nasty, ugly stuff from Epstein to Ice
to Trump lashing out because he cannot control events. But WE can…by focusing on health care, affordability, masked men beating up clergy, survivor justice and organizing for next great Election Day. BTW: never heard of someone not knowing why they got an MRI.

As a mom & grandmother of males & females I say this: real men don’t abuse girls and real women don’t join them or make excuses for them. This is not about left or right. It is about right and wrong. Maybe we will learn why Trump recently said he may not be going to heaven. Open the Epstein files.

To blue in Ohio:
I was there with Ronald Reagan and we never caved. In 1982 we ran against Reagan and picked up 26 seats! The experts said “election results may have reversed the conservative flow of the Reagan, administration’s economic policies”
Fight on! It works.

Election blue with voters of every stripe. USA can’t abide by orange king. I applaud all those electeds
Including my governor Newsom for making the case. Democrats aren’t joined at the hip like cultist Republicans. No circular firing squads pls. They’re a waste of time & dumb. +nobody’s perfect

Not enough space to go through all the good things that Democrats did, including Obamacare, huge infrastructure bill, health research, clean energy, AIDS treatment and prevention around the world, not to mention Medicare, Social Security, and Headstart.

It’s very difficult when Dems don’t stick together My message: we can’t say we’re a big tent as we said election night & then freak out when we disagree. I’m not happy about it, but big blue wave coming because united GOP refused to care for the people who need them the most, and everybody knows it.

The fast asleep orange
man gave forty billion of
our dollars to Argentina.
That could have saved
Healthcare for
Millions of Americans for
a year with plenty left over to feed families in need.
Now that your Argentine buddy is fat and happy
sit down with Democrats
and end your shutdown. Now.

Remember “sleepy Joe Biden“ ? Meet “fast asleep Donald Trump”..snoozing at his press conference. Between his sleeping & GOP Congress on vacation, & Trump appealing decision to actually feed hungry kids, we’re in world of hurt. But help is on the way as we organize for every election going forward.
