The Dem party in its current form is doomed anyway

They need to get off their "I will die before I retire" kick

They need to stop downplaying aggression against targeted minority groups

They need to stop being afraid of progressives

THEY NEED TO LISTEN TO THEIR DAMN VOTERS

Until Republican voters start to feel and understand the pain they have brought to all of us by voting for their sadistic party, I see no way forward as a country.

Just an insane & incredibly sad time to be alive in a country this rich.

Women are for breeding, not leading in MAGA world.

And it saddens me how many older Republican women I have spoken to during the last 10 years who don't think a woman should be president at all. The internalized misogyny is off the charts.

Stealing from hard working Americans is the ONLY thing Trump actually knows how to do.

Every think piece I see written lately: "Who among us has not had a Nazi flag tattooed on us in our youth? Let only those who have not memorized Mein Kampf throw the first stone."

It's enough to make a sane person want to puke.

Ukraine would have fallen in a week or two had not hundreds of thousands of people stood up and said NO.

We need to say no with our wallets and with our labor and often. It can't be with one march every 5 months.

Why isn't the question ever WTF were these men's reddit histories so horrible to begin with?

Why can't they be expected to have always acted like decent human beings? Even when young.

We know it's not all men. Shitty men always pretend it's an attack on ALL MEN instead of looking in the mirror.

This is another part they didn't seem to be fully grasping or worried about.

A firm makes a lot less when instead of having someone draft a 200 page document it is spit out instantly. Especially in a profession where everything has been billed by the minute for so long.

I had a horrifying meal last night with a group of lawyers who were sooo exited about AI doing work for them and for some things, maybe but I asked them about the case of the judge finding fake precedents recently that AI spit into a case and they seems totally unphased.

Now maybe the American countryside won't be littered with the massive TRUMP signs on barns that have ruined every drive back to my hometown for the last decade.

I won't hold my breath for anyone who voted for Trump to suddenly grow a brain, though. They love their abusive daddy.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer.
Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back.
One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground.
All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb.
"I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.

Does Comer engage in sex with children or is it just every other MAGA Republican?

Well, it's obvious Trump doesn't know Darth Vader or the actor who played Luke Skywalker.

Even on Veep they had someone whispering into her ear so she didn't look like this fuckwit does every time he opens his mouth.

There were at least 22 arrests of MAGA creeps for terrorizing people who showed up to No Kings protests so they could have shown the smallest bit of journalistic integrity and reported THAT, but no.

Harris Desecrates America's Home

Kills me that we all know she would get this headline plus 7,000 more while Fox hosts had heart attacks on air as the footage played and impeachment proceedings would already be in process.

Trump gets a fucking pass, per usual.

And there are still MAGA morons out there going, "He doesn't even take a paycheck, bless that man."

Starting to think the rapture happened over a decade ago and I'm in hell with the biggest assholes on earth.

You give this money to Trump & he'll demand more. His greed can never be satisfied.

Just like sex with a woman his own age wasn't enough to satisfy him.

He needed to rape 13 year olds because he felt entitled to their bodies.

How soon before the New York Times quotes Mike Johnson saying verbatim that because of Clinton, Biden and Obama, Americans have to do with less to give Trump this 230 Million he's rightfully owed?

The party of trolls is happy to bend over endlessly for Trump.

Are they making the lives of everyone who works hard and cares for America miserable?

If yes, then they are happy.

Trump will demand more after getting this. Republican greed has no bounds.

Give them anything and they feel entitled to everything.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.
