Us against the Oligarchs. They have the money. We have the voice and the votes. Also, equal opportunity complainer. I rant about everyone most of the time. Including DNC,GOP,AOC,Sanders,MAGA,Trump,Biden,Harris. Cranky old fool. Occasionally dole out praise

Immigration sought to deport 88-year-old. But he already died The Department of Homeland Security's intense push to ramp up deportations is dragging in even the dead as it unnerves immigrant households and crams court calendars.

But some of the immigrants, including some in their late 80s and some with legal status, died before officials could go after them.

Americans react to government shutdown How are Americans reacting to the first government shutdown in nearly seven years?

I donโ€™t want to hear one complaint about government shutdown from any Libertarian as their federal services get shutdown. No FEMA during hurricanes. No FDA warnings on Listeria outbreaks near them.
No EPA response to a chemical fire burn near them or their drinking water

BREAKING: Stephen Millerโ€”both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Trump says he's open to health care deal with Democrats as shutdown hits Day 6 President Donald Trump says he would be open to striking a deal on health care subsidies that are at the heart of the government shutdown fight.

Trump should be treated as a senile old man held up like Mugabe was held up in Zimbabwe. His ramblings are being countered by the people who are destroying the country.

Trump considers cutting US refugee intake to 7,500, focusing on white South Africans, officials say President Donald Trump is considering admitting far fewer refugee into the U.S. this year โ€“ as few as 7,500, and mostly white Afrikaners.

If you arenโ€™t convinced Trump and his GOP supporters are racist by this move, you will never be convinced.
This is dog whistle to his base.
