"Fox and the right wing media" have already lost their minds.. using their platforms to lie to ALL of us, just to grab ratings and unprofessionally abdicate their reaponsibility to give us TRULY "fair and balanced" coverage. I wonder how any of them sleep at night at the damage they have done to truth.

Thanks, Rupert. You created these monsters.

I suspect they all sleep like babies I’m afraid.

And still the rebuttal will be,

“ But Hillary’s emails!”

God help us all. God is throwing up her hands.

I can see these brain dead magnats say "but but it's making us stronger" while you starve, can't get medical services, lose your homes, lose social security where millions of Americans will be out on the streets where unemployment will be skyrocketing, but don't worry magnates, your fuckildool and his rich comrades will be feeding off you and will stash their money, in office shore accounts... Trickle lol economics is a fallacy of the rich and for the rich.

Nepo babies like Trump and his sons have never had a day of suffering in their lives and have no idea what it means to not have money to buy “groceries” (“it’s a bag with different things in it” ~ yup) for your 3 kids for dinner. That’s why it’s so easy for him to say this kind of crap. I just don’t understand how his actions are normalised as though it’s nothing and it’s ok… If any other president try to just do a fifth of ONE of the things he has done so far, he would be long gone. How is all of this ok??? It’s just astonishing!!!

murderdouch has created an empire of lies, misinformation and propaganda media, of people with no scruples, morals or ethics. From Hannibal, er, hannity who really only completed high school, is a hoax and is very adept at convincing the stups who even watch this lying media, as being a news person, when in fact, when faux entertainment was in court of a suit against it their own lawyers said it was merely entertainment and those who comment are entertainers nothing more.

Another great article .The Public Lands, National Parks being sold, leased , drilled, forest cut are being turned into another balance sheet item . They are irreplacable. There are 2 brothers that advocate in Substack for our Public Lands Jim & Will Patiz @ More Than Just Parks 🏞️.

On the one ene budget :

The GOP has confirmed their budget will slash Medicaid funding. Call your U.S. Rep. now at 877-932-3087 to urge them to vote NO!

💪✌️

Another thought: if Social Security/ Medicaid/ Medicare are ended, who will bury the bodies of the dead? Just saying.

Truth Matters's avatar

Not sure, but if things continue we might find out.

Harbinger's avatar

The dead will be the federal government legislators and cabinet members who did this. They will not survive any attempt to dismantle and destroy social security

I hope the Dam Burst which includes the infighting in the GOP which they're constantly infighting, remember what Sun Tzu said "In the midst of chaos there is opportunity"

Lynda Phoenix's avatar

I think the big lie has always been that conservative Republicans are good for the economy. They are just good for the rich economy. Most have never wanted to enhance opportunity for poor people. Now their ambitions are just in overdrive. They would sell their own mother's if it wouldn't look bad (oh wait, now they're beyond caring if it looks bad as long as they can stay in power).

Actually Fuckolashit's actually said " the economy does better under Democrats in charge"..

I believe that Trump AND THE MAGAS have a hidden agenda. And that is, the culling of American citizens. Just like Hitler envisioned Jews as being lowlife and a drain on society and the economy, in the United States, the MAGAS feel the same about anyone that is black, brown, red, or any color but lily white. If you are ill, aged, “challenged” mentally or physically, or in anyway less than what they see as ideal, then they will go ahead. Starve us. Make us homeless. Take away our health care. No home, no food, no medicine, no doctors or nurses. Tell us what we can and cannot think, do, or say. Rule over us as if we are the idiots who need to be destroyed. Our guts will be ripped out, and then we will die of broken hearts. The gatekeepers of Democracy were asleep at the wheel, too blind to see what they were looking at and too deaf (deluded and manipulated) to hear what was said. We must rise up before it is too late! It is almost too late for me, as I am 75 with many years and miles on my feet, having served the public in a medical field. I am almost glad I a as old as I am. Watching Democracy be destroyed on a daily basis and listening to all the lies makes me brokenhearted and takes a toll on what is left of my health. If Democracy is killed, may I die before that happens. That will make Trump and his minions happy, that I am dead. When did my fellow citizens become so ignorant, naive, and vicious?

Cutting off tax revenue? The tariff money is being collected. Where are these dollars going? Into the US treasury? If these tariffs were found illegal/unconstitutional, will they be refunded by the government to the companies that paid the tax? Will they be refunded to the consumer be refunded by the companies?

Truth Matters's avatar

I think there may be a lost in translation moment here. A tax cut by definition chokes off tax revenue.

You are not of course correct to say tariffs are taxes, I wouldn’t hold your breath on tariff refunds and as for the consumer being defunded, there’s about as much chance of that as Trump telling the truth.

Teresa Poplawski-Naylor's avatar

The sarcasm escaped you. It’s okay. I am zoning out on this administration’s idiocy also.

My thought while I was reading this is “MAGA will have to be directly impacted” before the pitchforks come out. But then, my next thought was instead of going after the Pubs with their pitchforks, they’ll cry WHERE IS SLEEPY JOE!

My question is, if they're taking everything from us, we probably don't need to be paying for Medicaid, Medicare and social security anymore. So that's a one time tax break for the wealthy. One thing that these billionaires aren't considering is that the 60% lower income americans don't have unlimited resources at one point and soon, they'll be bleeding a turnip, a very angry, hungry one. And that's spells revolution.

Kill them all. They have had it coming for decades.

The issue is quite simple, Trumps expertise is failure. He has no horse in the game. He uses spends other peoples money to advance himself but never exposing himself personally. When the sucker is drained dry he moves on and claims the loss as his own. That loss becomes payment on his tax liability.

The difference as president he can not accept any gift or financial gain while president is illegal.

So why is he here? There is something we are unaware of. I assert he plans to destroy the law. He has no interest in a broke America so use your creative mind. The only way Trump gains is if America holds no power over the funds. He can create a workforce of unpaid workers. Arrest migrants. He can sell National Land for minerals or location and get his cut. If he holds the check book he will never leave and that guys and gals is the thought process we should be considering. Nothing lawful, only financial gain for himself. Putin did it to Russia, he sold everything Russia owned and became a billionaire. Now he has Trillions!
