America invited a Tyrant in to destroy our nation all for a dozen eggs.
Now that he is in power the price of eggs is exploding.
Any reasonable political Party in opposition would make this a blazing campaign, with as many ads, podcasts, posts about egg prices coming from our side as MAGA did all last year.
But so far, not a peep.
Why can't we use his lies to totally destroy his connection to the people???
The whole point of a political Party is to dominate the narrative, there is no Party doing that now, how to make that happen??
Trump and MAGA have egg prices all over their lying faces. This election, as was his first one, is all about white supremacy fused with Christian theocratic fascism and domination in a changing world. Let’s throw the egg price shtick back in their faces!
The kvetching about egg prices was total bs. A distraction only. FFOTUS kept yapping about egg prices along with how horrible the US is — the worst country. People bought into his lies as always. MAGATs believe him. For crying out loud, they believe he’s a Christian and god saved his life from a gunshot (while he let the poor innocent man die). Total bs. Meanwhile the rest voted for him for lower taxes and because they despise us.
There needs to be a vocal Dem point person, someone designated to push back on the lies and absurdity of the day. Somebody the media would learn to turn to for a response, and somebody we knew we could count on to speak for us. It's so frustrating to hear the endless lies every day without anyone to call it out. It's demoralizing to feel like we're always losing at something, like we're falling further behind every day.
Very soon, the nightly news would not be complete without hearing from our point person. The voice of reason can introduce balance. I want to hear that voice.
Jeff- I agree 100%. Been thinking this as well. Just don’t know who that person would be. And how do they get on the air or on social media. But someone from our side has to cut thru all the BS and tell the real story of what’s going on before it’s too late
Dr Lavin, you’re asking a question that I’ve been asking for what seems like 50 years! Basically, where are our Democratic leaders? Why aren’t we in the streets? I marched in the Women’s March in January, 2017, and was hopeful then we could start a pressure by numbers on the sure-to-be-dreadful Trump administration. You got me on a bad day.
Personally, the gosh darned Democratic party needs to be dissolved. I haven't seen much criticism of them being the ONLY party in American history to collapse at the foot of fascistic theocratics (is that nice enuff?) And what's up with Dick Durbin, bless his heart. He's in his 70s and I see him shuffling around worse than Biden did?? Did he have a stroke??
Each week instead of watching the news I take time to watch Fox News, I watched the Haanity interview. It was disgusting and out of touch with reality. I felt as though I had woke up in the Twilight zone. I do this so I don’t get caught up in a bubble of news or information that I agree with.
I am heart broken by the fact that we are watching the agencies that keep things safer are being dismantled, but the truth is that the closing or reduction of these agencies has been a Republican talking point for more than 30 years, 45/47 is doing what was promised on the dusty campaign trails of the past. I will make a list:
1. EPA the agency that keeps our environment cleaner and safer from hazardous chemicals, the town I live in sure could have used a fully functional EPA. A few towns from was the #2 toxic waste sites in the US, Picher and Carden Oklahoma was bought out by the tax payers along with small cash settlement for lead poisoning. Get ready the elimination of the regulations may create more Picher OK.
2. Dept. of Education get ready what is happening in Oklahoma schools will be coming to your State soon. Oklahoma bought Trump bibles to be put in every classroom of public schools. Now they are legislating a 5.5 million dollar purchase to put a Trump Bible in each child’s hands to coincide with the new Social Studies curriculum I have seen the draft of this and I distorts Christianity with Historical events about America, so be prepared. Be prepared for the fact that children with disabilities will loose protection and services within the education system.
3. Dept of Health in which the FDA resides without the FDA there will be no testing and tracking of our food that means every time you buy meat, cheese, milk, salad the risk of getting food poisoning goes up.
Only a tyrant would do these things once gone we will realize the importance of what they really did for us.
Yes it was, but it gave information, and shows why we need to have better communication with each other and have a reliable media out there with facts and be outraged when it is called for like the Nazi salute by Musksputin.
Another thing that caught my attention is that he wants to do away with FEMA and turn it over to the States. This is concerning because most States if any has FEDERAL type resources on the ready when tragedies happen.
And wait until those states have to raise taxes or institute a state income tax to pay for this relief. What are the odds of that happening. This is what happens when you put a blithering idiot into office
Most Red States would probably not raise taxes, it would go back to the way it was before FEMA basically you were on your own. The Red Cross would come in and help, and some Federal Aide was sent. All of the coordination of agencies power, gas, drinking water at the ready would be very delayed if at all depending upon the States wealth.
And this grifter is here in my state this afternoon to sneer and lecture us about our water situation, which is a subject he knows nothing about. I wish someone would sit him down with our Department of Water Resources for an education. But as we've all seen, he has the attention span of a gnat. I didn't see our governor's name on the list of people he's meeting with today, even though Newsom invited him. I wouldn't fault Newsom for being a no-show. We know this guy is full of bluster, calling our governor names and berating our water policies. But he's a wimp and won't do it their faces. Like he fires people on social media because ya know, he's a p***y.
It looks like Senator Tillis is a Yes on Hegseth. We have Fort Liberty here, soon to be named again for Confederate Bumbler Braxton Bragg. I wonder if Tillis has a family member on Active Duty. I do.
Then there is the disgrace called the ADL. Which told us to give grace to Elon Musk. I repeat: give him grace. He then responded with five Nazi jokes — he thought they were jokes. So, ADL, you can go back to your worthlessness.
Steve, seriously, some of his supporters are starting to figure out that Trump being Trump is what we all fear so much, a pathological megalomaniac who will say and do anything to gain more wealth and power.
The bullshit keeps flowing freely from the horse's ass that is Donald Trump:
“I would love to see Canada be the 51st state. The Canadian citizens, if that happened, would get a big tax cut, tremendous tax cut, because they’re very highly taxed. You wouldn’t have to worry about military, you wouldn’t have to worry about many of the things, you would have better health coverage, you would have much better health coverage.
“So I think the people of Canada would like it, you know, if it’s explained. But just to start off, they’d have a massive tax cut and they’d have a lot more business because then we’d let business go to Canada routinely and there’d be no tariffs.” – Trump, speaking today in North Carolina.
All we can expect is lies. The trick is to distinguish which lies are truthful and which are showmanship. He believes he is a reality TV games host with no consequences.
JohnmcMA -- I’ve seen far too many maga trolls on pro-Democratic YouTube and Substack channels. The trolls must have a lot of spare time. They may not have a job or a social life if they’re haranguing us.
On Monday, January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was sworn in as president. At that moment Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of our Constitution was violated because it says that no person shall be an officer if that person engaged in an insurrection or given aid or comfort to our enemies. We can thank the Supreme Court for that. Now, days later in the same week, this president sought a violation of the 14th Amendment again, this time section 1 which bestows citizenship to those born or naturalized in the United States. It might be brought before the Supreme Court. What do you readers think are the chances are that the Court will once again give Trump what he wants?
They’re too selfish to hand over their power especially to a mental patient. They just wanted to disempower Democrats. I think those not on a billionaire’s payroll will shift. They will define immunity down too. They were evasive and used it to stall.
Is it okay to do the Roman salute with your left arm? (asking for a friend). So, how many lies are we up to currently, or say by noon ET? I'm coming across friends and acquaintances who don't want to hear about it anymore already.
One has to ask, really demand an answer.

and was the assassination attempt even real? I suspect theater of the absurd ...

I can't stand that he's here to grandstand. I hope nobody in california shows up!!
My two thoughts on today’s travesties:
It looks like Senator Tillis is a Yes on Hegseth. We have Fort Liberty here, soon to be named again for Confederate Bumbler Braxton Bragg. I wonder if Tillis has a family member on Active Duty. I do.

Compromise is not strength. A nazi is a nazi is a nazi. no laughing matter. Thank you.
Yes, the fucking ratings! Lowest ever, nobody has ever seen such low ratings!

What has happened is Project 2025 implementation. We have the midterms before us. The DNC leads us?
Substack has many MAGA supporters now joining us.
It’s truly a testament to MAGAs commitment to love of language and differing viewpoints.
However, use of the written word is not a strength for our recent MAGA subscribers.
In fact, you may detect a defensiveness in their first attempts to engage in dialogue using a written format only.
Let’s do what we do with children who display unwanted behavior due to insecurity and the need for attention. We ignore it.
I made the mistake of engaging in written dialogue with a MAGA adherent who pretended to be identified otherwise.
It was unpleasant and I failed to use the developmentally appropriate behavior response required for those exhibiting child like selfish behaviors.
I engaged as opposed to ignored the behavior
So…… moving forward, when we encounter UMAs ,Unidentified MAGA Assholes, let’s ignore them.
Unless they come to your door. Then you may use your housewarming skills🔫
👍👍🎯

Get Your Kicks On Route 66🇺🇸
One wonders if his cabinet will be able to declare him unfit and let Vance make it worse?
Muskfuck didnt want to be outdone by blowtrump’s lips on the microphone at his rally last year
He's just so fucking dumb🙄
I highly recommend APNews app. Straight forward, old fashioned (pre-infotainment) reporting. And free.
