Also need to make it clear that their sins will not be forgiven. Hegseth will be recalled to active duty for court martial for ordering the murder on the high seas. So they can enjoy it while they can, but there will be no retirement or escape from justice.
WE need to get the 90 MILLION people who didn't bother to vote in November 2024 off of their lackadaisical asses and to the polls in November 2026!! I will NEVER understand WHY they just stuck their heads in the sand and didn't bother to vote. They gave us TRump. The MAGAts voted, so, why didn't they??? I'm beyond disgusted and STILL pissed off about it!! What were they thinking?!? #StillPissedOff!!
I've made my discontent known to several people I know who just didn't bother to vote. Ironically, some of those people are suffering the most under the TRump regime. Two of them, government employees for decades, have lost their jobs. Basically, all I could say to them was: Boo hoo. I have no sympathy for them. NONE. If they're that unconcerned about keeping our constitutional republic, I, in turn, have no concern for them. I'm all out of empathy...
Unfortunately, Megan, I believe the truthful answer is that despite them not wanting to vote for Agent Orange, they also chose not to vote for a black woman! Whether racism, misogyny, or simply ignorance, there are still some major hurdles Americans need to overcome!
You wanna bet that at least SOME of those who "didn't vote" were knocked off the voter rolls? Perhaps they were eliminated by virtue of their names. Jose Gutierrez, Juan Marinez, Heck, John Smith aren't exclusive names. and a BUNCH of seemingly "duplicate" names were removed without checking. Even if the named persons had different birth dates and different middle initials, they were expunged. And how many people CHECK their eligibility status before Election Day. Do you put it past Republicans, particularly MAGAts to "correct" votor rolls? And those who signed "provisional ballots"... you really think those were counted? Notice that in the MINOR races this year, Democrats WON. That's because the Trump Machine(tm) "didn't bother" to rig the election. They could have. Trump SAID "Elon and I have a plan. We're going to win!" and the Muskrat said "Donald wouldn't have won without me." AND he controlled the satellite links to voting machines.
True a LOT of people didn't vote... but I'll bet you the farm that MANY of those so called no shows were ELIMINATED before or on Election Day.
I foundationally believe that we will win big in the midterms. As a full-fledged planner and ponderer, I wonder if the D party is ready for what we expect in the name of changes and repairs we need for this country. I'm eager to see them take the opportunity to rise to the occasion.
Do you have any thoughts on this, Earl? I'll bring wine for happy hour if you'll share the thoughts that may be wandering through your head. I know it's premature, but I enjoy strategizing as a form of coping and relaxation.
I'm still trying to shake off my huff, and you are coming at me for more!
But at least you are bringing booze.
I'll just say this: Any Democrat who hasn't gotten the message that we want significant change and pure dynamite at the ready, will have people like us drumming 'em out of town on a rail.
Sorry have no hope the Dems will be any better. They helped elect Trump with open borders, weak on crime particularly illicit drugs and supporting transgenders in women's sports. It will be equality at any price. I see them going back to ginning up the race wars to pit Americans against each other. It is sick to watch the lilywhite Dems cast stones at the Repubs for discrimination. Hah, what a joke. Little progress with no way to pay for empty promises.
While Biden was better dealing with Russia, he also saw Ukraine as weak. He tied Ukraines hands behind them just to keep oil prices steady. So much for standing up to evil. As for healthcare, they are as much in the industry pocket as the Repubs. Their only solution is to provide subsidies (bribes) that drive up the cost of healthcare, not contain or expand it.
Excuse me... but have you ever MET a transgendered PERSON? Not "a transgender". But let's take this point by point. 1. Biden did not HAVE "Open" borders. They've never been "open" in the way that Repubs claim. That's nonsense. Plus, you're buying INTO the idea that by virtue of NOT being white US born wealthy or middle class males, they're automagically "criminals". Bull! You've bought into "American exceptionalism" and racism. Strop squirming, I'm not done with you, yet! Weak on crime? REALLY? You're going to complain about "crime" when rioters, cop-bashers (With AMERICAN FLAG POLES! I think I'm gonna vomit!), pedophiles, pedophile protectors and rapists?! Yeah, TELL me how "superior" they are to Biden! You CAN'T and you KNOW IT! Illicit drugs? While the Sackler family PROFITS (not one of them saw a DAY behind bars! AND they kept their company. Who INVENTED Oxycontin, anyway?!) "Transgender" is a descriptor, NOT a noun! And since WHEN did you give a rat sass about "women's sports"?! Name ANY women's team, in any sport! I triple dog DARE you! You can't but you've latched onto a cool "brick" to throw. too bad it's a solid brick of shit. Equality at any price? HELL YEAH! To the privileged, equality is seen as a threat. Suck it up, Buttercup, and try to remember that being born white has nothing, NOTHING to do with superiority. You hate a level playing field because you're afraid you can't keep up without the ten minute head start the shade of your HIDE gives you! Biden SUPPORTED Ukraine from an ILLEGAL land grab by Putin, Trump's master! Healthcare is another matter. The DEMOCRATS came up with the ACA! For that reason and that ALONE Repubs have hated it.
So the democrats won't shit gold and cure you when you touch the hems of their robes? Grow up, Sparky and realize that ANY support, given to ANY Republican is TREASON, because what Trump & Co are doing is PUTIN'S BIDDING! Better yet... move to Russia and IMPROVE the collective IQ of BOTH nations! SELAH!
Wow. What a shitty attitude! Should we just throw up our hands and surrender to the maggots? Are the dems perfect? Not hardly. We elect new dems and hold them to account for; Medicare for all, a sane foreign policy, a workable border policy, trade policy, etc. if you want to sit this one out, go ahead. If we loose we can thank quitters like you.
They messed up Earl. They have gotten all the good people riled up. That was a major mistake. Now, it’s time to kick them in their ass! And the Dems need to step up. No more fence riding! These are serious times. Serious leaders to the front! The time has come. Everyone knows what needs to be done. Let’s get things right! We all owe it to the kids. We got to right this ship!!!
"Trump isn’t even close to as powerful as he wants you to think he is, and you are far, far more powerful than you think you are." Absolutely true !! Just look at the poll numbers lately; the number of MAGA defections is growing daily. 'pubs know there's going to be a bloodbath come '26 and are leaving DC in droves. We need to rally voters to the polls - definitely. But, more than that Dems need to be working on P29 to close the loopholes, deficits and unclear areas of law so that another authoritarian cannot exploit the historically honest bent of politics and power for their own advantage. There is much work to be done, and we need new Dem leadership and progressive politicians to make it successful. We need to get organizing...
Well said. A good example is the student loan debacle. The current program is just welfare for higher ed at the pain and suffering of young, uneducated kids. Too many are now indebted for a lifetime. Dems want to throw more money with promises of forgiveness here and there. All it has done is raise tuitions. Why are the heavily endowed colleges and universities not made to use their stash to help reduce the cost of tuition?
Thank you, Earl! I needed to see that today and I feel ready to keep fighting! I would never have given up anyway but your encouragement is effective and contagious and make us want to fight harder. I know I will! Thank you for what you do, it always inspires me. ♥️
Right on! But (there is always a but) my big thing is the Dems have to learn how to message and control the narrative. The so suck at that and it pisses me off that a bunch of intelligent people can't seem to take advantage of the disgusting policies and behaviors of these assholes. PLUS, as a former person who worked in agriculture, the Dems MUST, MUST go out there and get that vote back, right now, bc Trump is destroying the ag community.
They voted for him and not so sure they would not do it again. While I am sympathetic to the plight of the small farmer. It is reported that suicides are 3.5 times higher than the general population. This tells you something is wrong. I have to question why the public needs to support a way of life that frankly pays less than minimum wage? It requires heavy debt and the risks are huge. Lots of the political support for AG is just to support big AG, using the small farmer as cover. Do not hear CA throttling the almond growers for flooding their orchards while telling the cities to conserve.
America needs to come to terms with agriculture as a business model and not as a way of life. Instead, it is treated as a nostalgic Norman Rockwell return to the good old days. Farming costs too much for what the small farmer gets out of it. Yet politicians support it so John Deere, IH/Case and the big boys can do okay on Wall Street. The days of keeping them on the farm to prevent them from coming to the city is over.
I shared this to my facebook page and said:.Pull no punches...We the people have endured a terrible year...Those of us who still cling desperately to the hope that "Trump will grow into his presidency" know they are on a fool's quest..Here is a New Year's Resolution for all of us...Defend Democracy,Defend our country from those inside who want to destroy it..and..Unite together to right the ship of statre...
OMG 😳 You just woke me up on this snowy Saturday after Christmas! I was in the American cemetery in Brussels, 14-months ago, where those who perished in the Battle of the Bulge are now buried in eternal peace. It was a gloomy, damp rainy day and I cried. I cried for our country because I was so afraid of what actually happened. This administration is a terrible disaster and we have not gotten to the one- year mark yet. Your missive is powerful. It gives me hope.
The county legislature here was controlled by Republicans for fifty years before this passed election. No longer.
The town board here has been monopolized by Republicans for the 35 years since I have lived here. Only one Democrat has had a seat on that board. After November, there are three Democrats on the town board.
This is happening here and everywhere across America 🇺🇸
People, citizens, Democrats, Independents, even Republicans are tired of being lied to and manipulated Don and his merry band of cronies. Thanks for reminding me that there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel.
My uncle, Herb, was a replacement to the Battle of the Bulge soldiers. He was a forward artillery spotter under General Patton, having first served quite a ways east. He served two years in the European theater and was one of witnesses to conditions in a concentration camp. He NEVER spoke of it but my aunt did on rare occasions when Herb suffered from severe PTSD(shell shock) until his death in 2008.
YES! They want us to feel hopeless and give up in advance. I won’t give them that satisfaction, no matter how much they infuriate and exhaust me.
Thanks, as always, for your voice.
There is a righteous fury out there, that is going to lay a good ass-kicking on thousand of Republicans next year.
They've been warned.
Also need to make it clear that their sins will not be forgiven. Hegseth will be recalled to active duty for court martial for ordering the murder on the high seas. So they can enjoy it while they can, but there will be no retirement or escape from justice.
From the lives that will be lost from ending USAid
To all the young girls we know you have laid
From your ranting nonstop on your Truth Social app
To attending cabinet meetings and
taking a nap
Lying about everything
you are quite amoral
And we wonder why to Putin you’re so very loyal
Your jealousy of others has gotten out of hand
And racism and grifting has become your own brand
it will be a merry season when we can remove your name
the only place it belongs is in the Hall of Shame!
Waytofire, Eny.

I'm beyond disgusted and STILL pissed off about it!! What were they thinking?!? #StillPissedOff!!
I can't speak for them, and but if I were to meet one, they will hear from me, because they are appalling people.
I've made my discontent known to several people I know who just didn't bother to vote. Ironically, some of those people are suffering the most under the TRump regime. Two of them, government employees for decades, have lost their jobs. Basically, all I could say to them was: Boo hoo. I have no sympathy for them. NONE. If they're that unconcerned about keeping our constitutional republic, I, in turn, have no concern for them. I'm all out of empathy...
Unfortunately, Megan, I believe the truthful answer is that despite them not wanting to vote for Agent Orange, they also chose not to vote for a black woman! Whether racism, misogyny, or simply ignorance, there are still some major hurdles Americans need to overcome!
You wanna bet that at least SOME of those who "didn't vote" were knocked off the voter rolls? Perhaps they were eliminated by virtue of their names. Jose Gutierrez, Juan Marinez, Heck, John Smith aren't exclusive names. and a BUNCH of seemingly "duplicate" names were removed without checking. Even if the named persons had different birth dates and different middle initials, they were expunged. And how many people CHECK their eligibility status before Election Day. Do you put it past Republicans, particularly MAGAts to "correct" votor rolls? And those who signed "provisional ballots"... you really think those were counted? Notice that in the MINOR races this year, Democrats WON. That's because the Trump Machine(tm) "didn't bother" to rig the election. They could have. Trump SAID "Elon and I have a plan.

ENOUGH ALREADY
Yes, I did take this to an unnecessary place prematurely, but with booze we could make it funny.
BTW, your answer was perfectly delivered, and if you ever want to go on the road as a comedy duo, let me know. I'll play the straight man. LOL
I can be in it for the laughs ...

"Stronger together" isn't just words ...
Right on! But (there is always a but) my big thing is the Dems have to learn how to message and control the narrative. The so suck at that and it pisses me off that a bunch of intelligent people can't seem to take advantage of the disgusting policies and behaviors of these assholes.

Yes he is, and too many are willing accomplices.
We must literally plant seeds to grow stronger.

Those cemeteries are breathtaking.
And you have seen what hard work and determination can mean in your parts, Steve. There really is nothing stopping us.
Y.E.S‼️‼️‼️👊👊👊
2026 is going to be a turn-around year.
You-betcha it is.
Let's just hope 2026 isn't a "turn around and bend over" year!!
My uncle, Herb, was a replacement to the Battle of the Bulge soldiers. He was a forward artillery spotter under General Patton, having first served quite a ways east. He served two years in the European theater and was one of witnesses to conditions in a concentration camp. He NEVER spoke of it but my aunt did on rare occasions when Herb suffered from severe PTSD(shell shock) until his death in 2008.
Truly, the greatest generation.
Wow.
Thanks for sharing that, and for your family's service.
As God is my witness, we will fight til we win. With our dying breath, we will never give up. Never!
Damn straight, Lisa.
Damn straight ...
