The Republican Administration is stealing retired and working American citizens’ social security on behalf of billionaires. I would call that money laundering. The government is the intermediary and could not happen without them. 10% taken off the top for Tempertantrump and 10% to pay Administration for approving it. Impeach them all! “High crimes, bribery and misdemeanors “. Oh, billionaires are cashing in from buying and selling the foreclosed properties that senior citizens labored and paid their entire life. The American Dream now belongs to billionaires….”come to daddy”.

My taxes and insurance alone are more than a house payment 10 years ago. and I don't have a mortgage. If I lived on Social Security alone. I could not live. I would be homeless or dead.

i don't know who or what Trump really is. whether a KGB agent named Krasnov or an alien from another planet or dimension, but he is achieving the goal of destroying America and making the world uninhabitable for living creatures

In less than a year he has so thoroughly destroyed the United States, domestically and internationally, that it will take another century to restore, if at all possible, and even then it won't be the same, for we will be living in AI controlled police surveillance state.

If you are dissatisfied with the regime, then you are a left wing, terrorist, traitor and there are concentration camps awaiting your and your "productive labor" or recycling.

Yes! It is astonishing how quickly our country fell into this dictatorial kleptocracy. If we don’t succeed in throwing as many republicans as possible out this November the future looks very dark indeed.

Democrats, especially our leadership, never grasped how full of hatred, anger, and angst were those who became MAGA. rural America and the south. And they stil aren't for them it is the James Carville litany of "it's the economy stupid" ignorning LBJ who said

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Fueled by Fox, an now Townhall, OANN, News Max, the Blaze, talk radio, there sense of inferiority was played on, and their hatred of coastal elites has been burned into their psyche and they would live in cow manure, so long as they can own the libs.

If anyone knows anything about rural life, it is dominated by pulpit and press, social life is the Grange, VFW, AmVets. And they are hammered with God and Country, but the God and Country of the Business men and Preachers.

As Americans became educated and more sophisticate, the pastors and priests saw their influence, power and collection plates dwindle, and the identified the enemy as liberalism, meaning educate, questioning and thinking (enlightened) public, and waged war upon knowledge.

I've seen it first hand, I lived with my uncle who was an ordained Southern Baptist preacher.

And of course the press, supported business, because business buys ads and ads are revenue, and you don't bite the hand that feeds you. And business supports the preachers and priess, because alienating them is bad for business.

Extrapolate the local to the national.

The two parties are all about vested interests, professionals, careers and careerism, and both slop at the same trough, only the Democrats have tied one hand behind their back, and the other has rheumatoid arthritis.

But there is hope, if we survive the mid terms, new blood AOC, David Hogg, Mandami.

I wish there was a way of putting all this where MAGA and low information voters would see and read it, even though most wouldn’t believe it anyway. But one point that I have to mention, the Hanta virus is being hyped up by the media; it is a very serious disease and after COVID we're all skittish. But, it is from rodent droppings and urine. Only the strain on the ship is even known to have direct human-to-human transmission, and that doesn't happen easily. And this isn't something new that is hitting us. The disease has been known for many years; in 2025 there were 38 confirmed cases in the U.S. So I wouldn't say the situation has been exaggerated, but the excitement about it has been. As I said, the press is not doing a good job of keeping this in perspective. Let's do better here.

My question is , How much crazier does it have to get before we get RFK out.

His hiring and firing practices are too bizarre for words.

Every appointee of Trumps is chosen for their ineptness.

And Trump needs to go as well.

This MAGA crusade to destroy this Country is blatant and obvious corruption.

We are inundated with militant ignorance.

In a moment of dementia, Trump admits that Iran was a PR stunt.

Back from China, Trump said we need to issue half a million student visas to China, which has historically used students as spies and patent thieves. Were the Thechbros there to ensure the students would be hired after graduation to facilitate the thefts?

Veepie Vance thinks he sees Black Welfare Queens driving Lamborghinis? Did he see any eating pets while they drove, or was he just on LSD?

Then, to "piss off" the medical profession, RFKjr appoints a urologist to oversee Hanatavirus control. What could go wrong, I mean, besides a new pandemic?

I am a retired NJ civil rights attorney fighting to replace Trump sycophant Republican congressman Jeff VanDrew with democratic candidate for Congress Bayly WInder.

Please send me any “dots” you have uncovered between him and the leaders and goals of Project 2025.

I would also greatly appreciate you putting me in contact with someone on your team who might help us achieve the above mutual goal.

Trump Voter: Cheeto Is A Pompous Idiot

A three time Trump Florida voter summed up Cheeto’s as a leader of the CNPP(Christian Nationalist Pedo Party), “He’s a pompous idiot” when asked about his job as president Not only did Cheeto showed us his incompetence during the COVID crisis and now this incompetence is showing us in all areas of American life, economy, domestic and foreign policy

China is sending military equipment through 3rd party countries as Cheeto tries to show a strongman attitude while in Beijing Cheeto is claiming that he the Chinese will buy Boeing jets but who can believe an incessant liar Of course the strongman didn’t secure any trade deal to help the American soybean farmers Nary a word And the beef deal for American ranchers? China ia already backing out of any deal Strongman becomes a doorman And no deal about Taiwan even though the United States will suffer significant loss if China takes over Taiwan

Meanwhile China holds a royal flush It sits on 70K tonnes of gold and currently setting up a trade settlement system in the Middle East which will be gold backed with the yuan eliminating the petrodollar as a reserve currency It has cornered the market of vital rare earth minerals, has a massive oil reserve which makes them immune to the Iranian oil problem, and understands that economically and globally they are in a clear power position

Is it true that they are putting crematoriums in the immigration concentration camps?

Just need to keep idiots from running the Dem party. Those who thought a frail Biden was a good candidate. Those who thought Harris would do well when its now safe to be racist and sexist. Those who thought Hillary, though brilliant, would be a good campaigner. Those who allowed Biden ( the Clintons and Obama) to be pushed out of the race in 2016. The electorate saw the incompetence in dealing with Covid in 2020 and elected Biden but his team severely dropped the ball w messaging and the spineless Garland did not act swiftly and w conviction. He should have been arrested when he showed up for inauguration. All they needed to do was get the CIA’s psyops to predict what he would do.

Need to keep highlighting how Trump has gone against everything that he promised during the campaign. The only thing that interest Trump is how much money can he steal from the American tax payers. Foreign leaders and billionaires can get Trump to do what ever they want by paying him off. Dems have to run on anti-corruption.

Well, first removing our troops from Germany, and now from Poland (the country closest to Ukraine, to which many Ukrainians have fled)... Putin must be thrilled.

Vance's "welfare queen" gets around the asset limitation for food stamps by leasing that Lamborghini. Obvi!

Thom, we do let these people get a free ride all the time. Their tactics tired and old keeps being their same refrain. The lie’s cannot be normalized, Thom.

Trump - China First; Vance - more racist tropes; USA farmers not part of agribusiness: Trump just told you in essence: drop dead.
