It never ceases to amaze me that people believe that we need to give billionaires and large corporations subsidies and handouts. Trump is responsible, by himself, for 25% of the national debt and people still voted for him. Now Musk has the nerve to call the American people parasites when he has been given $8 billion for his companies. It's unfortunate that it is taking the fact that they are firing people, taking their food benefits, and potentially their medical benefits away before people are finally waking up to the reality that Republicans are money grubbing liars.
The Republicans have sponsored a bill to give $4.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts to the wealthy at the cost of sacrificing Medicaid. How is any of this good for the American people?
And I just read that they have fired all the top military officials to put in Trump loyalists to run the military. These are all the things that fascist dictators do.
I'm glad people are finally pushing back on their Congressmen, but I fear It may be too late. There will be no stopping Trump when all the heads of agencies that protect us are morphed into his own personal retribution enforcers.
It frustrates me even more that nobody even talks about it. People just conveniently forget the massive amount of money billionaires get.
Yes, the power grabs right now are terrifying, but people are also pushing back. The lackeys that are told to break the law are still being held accountable. We just need to delay, delay, delay.
I read Heather Cox Richardson's post this morning. She mentioned that Trump said he wants generals like Hitler had. I want that for him too. They attempted to assassinate him. I'm on board with that.
Some did. The sane ones. Many others went along with the murderous idiocy of hitler that caused their beloved Fatherland to be bombed to shit. That's all that dictators accomplish for their nations: death and destruction. Nothing positive
Why do we have to come to the brink of disaster, or actually fall into the crevasse in order to convince a lot of people of the truth? The wealthy really have convinced themselves that they are the chosen elite to rule the rest of us.
In some ways I think the money men are not so smart with their money. Except for buying Trump, they could have come to power with voter suppression alone. i remember Al Gore losing because of voter purges. I remember the name Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She was somehow giving the okay. Watch Greg Palast's Vigilante Inc. How do we get a do over on this election because the 40,000 volunteers successfully squelched the votes?
My deep gratitude to you Walter, for outlining truthful facts behind the current debacle in our government and nation. I heartily agree with every point you've made.
We're constantly being fed a pack of lies from corrupt and greedy Hungry Ghost billionaires whose only concern is "What's in it for me?" They couldn't give squat about humanity and they have zero compassion for people just trying to keep their heads above the water.
The one lie they didn't make pre election was Project 2025. I forced myself to read the summary intelligent women in the Red Wine and Blue organization took the time to compile.
Very few read it and those who did recognized the ominous manifesto could've been produced by Crusaders in past Inquisitions. I wrote articles about my discoveries on Medium, hoping to catch the gaze of women in particular. Blinders were preferred.
I marched for abortion and civil rights on the streets in the late 60's and early 70's. We protested and won through our unity. All we fought for was carelessly strewn to the wind by 40% of Americans who didn't care enough to vote.
So now we get to hear the Growler jets cruising overhead as they monitor the border with Canada. Who are they kidding? Canadians are more concerned about migrant Americans and they want nothing to do with cleaning up our hot mess. I don't blame them one bit.
We're an international laughing stock after too many of us drank the Kool Aid and are now complaining of indigestion. Wake up humanity. No one's going to swoop in and make it better. Get your feet on the streets, write and call your govt. representatives and contribute some energy to righting this shop of horrors we've self created. 🗣️⛓️💥🆓🫸🤑💸🛑🫷 🙏🌐
It's going to be a long 24 months until the midterms. 20 to go until the elections. If we don't see a major shift then, I'm not sure what's going to happen. Then again, I thought we were saved in 2020. Keep up your hope. Things can change fast!
I'm not sure we have enough time to wait until midterms Walter. Big Orange's greasy fingers are eager to puch nuclear codes.
I'm not an alarmist nor a conspiracy theorist. But I grew up in Richland, WA thirty-five miles downstream from Hanford--a Manhattan Project govt. town created to house the workers, scientists and engineers who created plutonium for the atomic bombs dropped in Japan.
Our big and dirty secret for many years as radiation was continously flushed down the Columbia River and workers steadily died from toxic exposures.
Even people like my niece, an award winning environmental scientist who specializes in cleaning up soil and water damaged by wars, cannot come up with a solution to break down radioactive waste. Hanford is the most contaminated land in the U.S.
What have we learned? Nada!
This current shitstorm of a shadow govt. is cutting back on public safety from the manufacturing of nuclear weapons. They have no idea what they're doing. 💣
I placed a link at the top of this comment that details Rachel Maddow's investigation into this extremely poor decision. Again, thank you. ☢️🛑

It's shameful that so much of the general public is accepting of a president that invokes the name of a mass murderer.

Great article! Thanks! I passed it on hoping that more of US will muddle up the guts to bombard them.
Thank you!

We won’t let them win! Fight back every single day!

Exactly. This is how you fight. This is how you fight back. Empower your people with the truth, the knowledge and tell/show them how to use it.
Each of you is the hero we all need.
Thanks so much Kay! We are on the frontlines now, but we've been preparing for 10 years. It's victory or death.
Holy shit, I hope they never teach MAGA math in schools or we are doomed
They already do. Eroding education if you want to trick the general public into electing a predator.
