It's becoming clearer by the day that the level of US debt is so consequential, Trump needs to find tax cuts and a way to defer or cut the cost of borrowing, without defaulting.
Jesus Christ. You really don't have any faith in the American people, do you? As an American who is pissed as shit about what Trump is doing and how his party is cowering like whipped dogs, I'm offended. You seriously think we're going to give up that easily? Yeah, way too many people were apathetic about the 2024 election. But you just assume that we're going to spiral down the toilet and LET that apathy continue? Did you even take note of the millions of Americans who protested yesterday in large cities and small towns across the United States??! We are mad. Very, very mad. We're reaching out to get more and more people involved in organizing against this tyrant who thinks he can juice the US and the world for all it's got. No f-ing way are we going to sit here and watch our country burn down.
Don't believe it? Keep watching. And if you insist on burying us before we're dead, I'll have to unsubscribe. There's telling the truth, and then there's being so cynical that you forget to look for the fast-growing resistance movement. Democrats don't have voting majorities, but we have the people's righteous anger. And we can bury this regime should we choose to.
I’m encouraged by your outrage and I am neither suggesting America is done or that I have no faith that the situation can’t be remedied, but if you think this is something that can be turned around quickly then you need to seek medical help.
You are talking to a guy who spent his own money on Ads for a president who I felt should have handed over the reins after the 2022 mid terms. I could see the writing on the wall, but nobody was listening.
The harsh reality is Trump doesn’t give a fig about millions of protesters. If the threat gets too big, he’ll put tanks on the streets. This is way beyond normal political protest. This is structural.
Without Republicans dissenting you may not even get to the mid terms.
I appreciate everything you said here and agree, including the part about me requiring medical help if I think a solution will be quick! It won't. I want to reply in more detail when I have time, but wanted to hop on and apologize for my tone. I also neglected to thank you for pointing out so many important truths. We are facing major structural problems, and Trump will not hesitate to call out the military on peaceful protesters. You could most definitely write a book! More soon. Txs!
No apology necersarry Karen, I am always up for lively debate and what I like most is how passionate you feel, that’s a good thing not a bad thing. When I write, I wear my heart on my sleeve, I come to these challenging times with a sense of outside objectivity. I spent a lot of time on X in Democrat amplification rooms where to have an opinion contrary to the party line was tantamount to treason. I have left those shackles behid.
Having said that, I am always willing to listen and if someone can prove me wtrong with an evidence based argument, you will fine I more than willing to correct my words. Thank you for your contribution to the conversation.
I totally 1000% agree and I think the guy you just replied to isn't understanding what you're saying.
Well, I DO. I also screamed from the rooftops and started creating Truth Memes bc I'm married to an ex MAGA whom I de-brainwashed but it took a lot out of me over the 8 year span of HELL. I now have PTSD from TRUMP, MAGA NUTS CULT INCOMPETENT LURCHES Project Nightmares MANDATES ELON Pet Project Villian & the whole disaster area!!! SICKENING 😡.
I'm fed up. I wrote my first pub here on Brainwashing LIES Conspiracy THEORIES and how MAGA is a shameful SHAM CULT. I'd love for people to come read it. My husband was Brainwashed to think all kinds of LIES 😭💔😔 He voted for KAMALA and Walz. I got in his head too bc I didn't give up!!! Read my article and find out 👁️
I agree and I don’t feel that I’m being pessimistic. I think there is a lack of imagination similar to the “failure of imagination” before 9/11-
People in this country have never experienced anything like this and most could not comprehend the possibility that this could happen here, how bad it is now,and exactly how difficult a situation we are now in
I'm glad that you are offended. I am past offended. I don't see the evidence that the Republican population is going to be touched by this destruction and is going to insist that the Republican legislators stop supporting Trump or they will be voted out of office. I just don't see that happening. But that is the crux of the matter isn't it. That is the only way out.and in order to do that, they would encourage Trump's wrath. And they're scared to death to do that. So good luck with that.
Vote girl. Just VOTE blue. WATCH THE PEOPLE 🗣️ SPEAK. Vets, Elderly, young, 401k people, government employees, fed up GOP like myself...fed up MAGA who lost everything the other day...you'll see
Excellent. I would only ask you to please be more accurate and refer to the United States as United States versus America, which is an imperialist determination. We are not America. There are many countries in America. And it is an entitled notion to refer to us as such.
While what you say is technically true, I have not heard of any ‘North Americans’ or ‘South Americans’ ever refer to themselves as ‘Americans’. That is a term that, in reality, is used only to refer to citizens of the USA.
Exactly. And it comes from our imperialist sense of self importance. And implies that we are the only pertinent Americans, and therefore we can refer to ourselves as such.
If we don't call ourselves Americans, what term do we use? I respect your disgust for our imperial history, and I'm normally quite careful with my use of language. But I do agree with Laura on the point that nobody else calls themselves "Americans". Language isn't perfect, and it carries the weight of its past. We can try to update it to a certain extent, but if we are so set on PC perfection, honestly, we alienate regular working people who don't have the same kind of focus on linguistics. Let's use respectful language without demanding perfection, okay? My thought, anyway. Democrats will keep being the party only of and for the elite if we condemn the language 99% of people would use. I'm not saying bend towards the center. No way. I'm saying let's try to stay down to earth while we fight like hell for social justice. Actions over words, in this case.
I don't have a problem with primarily trying to use the "United States", by the way, though I still don't think we need the purity test. My greater confusing is over what to call ourSELVES.
That's ridiculous not to say America. WTH 🤔??? That's just wokeness overload. STOP 🛑. That's the Dems problem...over reach. Then you've got insane MAGA calling Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. It's all relevant. WTF does it matter now???!!!! Huh??? 😒
Fantastic post. Right on with the facts, the candor and the humor. Thank you!
In yesterday’s phenomenal march down 5th Avenue, something was missing. Going through my photos later that night, I realized that mine was one of only a handful of American flags.
Let’s reclaim our flag from the MAGA crowd on Saturday, May 10.
The recent “Hands Off” protest was a brilliant rallying cry that all could respond to. We need to keep coming together, united and ever stronger.
Let’s “Rally Round the Flag on Saturday, May 10th
On May 10th in 1775, Fort Ticonderoga was taken by Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys. Allen and his militia did not wait for orders to take the fort. The action, taken less than a month after the battles of Concord and Lexington, was the first offensive victory for the American forces in the revolutionary war.
Project Nightmares is ruing US & the Constitution is under attack ..full on !!! Trump is a wannabe King. I've got memes on that from last year!! I was way ahead of everyone back then. I wrote a few posts on July 3&4 2024 about all of THIS coming. DOOM Prophecy. NOW it's real and I'm blown away. HORRIFIED by my insight and Trump's brain.
I've got ideas. My Truth Memes coming out my ears for almost 2 years now. I could write a lot of books. It's just exhausting & there's so.msny books on it all right now !!!! It's insanity.
It’s my pleasure and my passion Tony. I am absolutely loving it. I saw this initially as an opportunity to create a journal of my thoughts, for my own reflection after this is all over, then suddenly I have 38,000 friends. I am blown away to be honest.
I am proud to be me, for good or for bad. One thing I can guarantee is that I will always waer my heart on my sleeve, say what I say with conviction, never be afraid to admit when I’m wrong and always write having fact checked my statements.
I know Dave, we have had text exchanges on a few occasions. I believe the administration is very concerned about the possibility, especially as their new tax cuts will add a further $4 trillion to the tab. I think if you research the Mar a Largo accord proposal, they are trying to take a corporate approach to the national debt.
I think a lot will depend on what happens in the coming month and if he can arrest control of setting interest rates.
Martin, I don’t think the only issue is that just 30% of the eligible population voted for Trump—it’s likely also the fact that the Republicans purged millions of valid Democratic votes via voting vigilantes; without this effort (really a form of cheating), Kamala Harris would have won the election:
Hey Mark, thanks for the note. There is definately merit in your thinking here. The main problem being how can you litigate this in the current environment. It’s truly a dilemma and I’m not sure how to address it if I’m honest. I fear there is no going back and it would be a pointless exercise that distracts us from the challenges in this moment.
My real fear, is they will take absolute control of the electoral process and that terrifies me.
Hi Martin, you are probably right that there is no point in trying to make an effort to revert the election result at this point (there likely are no legal mechanisms nor precedent for such action anyway), but I still think this should be much more widely reported on and disclosed to the public (i.e. that Kamala actually won and how the Republicans cheated).
I also think the Democrats must take into account that this Republican vigilante vote purging will only escalate in the coming elections, and the question is whether the Democrats should try to counter this through legal action, or to simply take the fight head-on and do the exact same thing to Republican voters…
Greg also writes about how the mid-term elections 2026 will also be rigged the same way:
Hi ABossy, the link should work when clicked on—if you copy just the part that is visible you probably don’t get the whole link and therefore get an error when pasting it. Here it is again:
The Heritage Foundation is in charge, they just hand the 🎃 the paperwork to sign. He doesn’t read anything he signs. Just says this is a beautiful piece and takes his giant sharpie and away we go.
You are absolutely right Stacie, they have been dpoing it for years in the states, they have legislative shops who write the legislation to pass to Republican state legislators to simply sign. It’s how Roe v Wade was overturned.
You say there is more Goldwater to tell him to get out but there are over 40 in the Senate who are telling to stop but he refuses to listen to opposition. So the Republicans have to realize that a primary is not the end of the world. Look at how he handled Kari Lake. She thought to get along, go along but he cut her position anyway so the net is zero for her. He will do the same to all the R party people anyway

Thanks for takig the time to comment Friedriike. I appreciate your input and can sense the passion you have to take back the soul of Amarica.
Yes. Write a book. You have already started.
No sure the world is ready for a book from e Kat, but I’m flattered, Thank you for your support.
Very good analyses. Not influenced by own profit but right away.
Thanks, you are most kind.

Thank-you for this article. You’re clearly not a “normie-journo” as Gil Duran refers to the blind corporate media.
I have a question: in your opinion is there a chance trump will default on the debt? I would never have thought so, until I read this by Dave Troy:

The one manufacturing job Biden created was the CHIP Act
Let’s not forget 300,000 green new energy jobs. The CHIPS Aact was just the first step, but that’s totally irrelevant now.
You say there is more Goldwater to tell him to get out but there are over 40 in the Senate who are telling to stop but he refuses to listen to opposition. So the Republicans have to realize that a primary is not the end of the world. Look at how he handled Kari Lake.

He would throw the whole Republican Party under the bus if need be to stay out of jail and atempt to put tanks on the street. The man is a lunatic.
