Yes. In '16 Bernie said it'd take a revolution to change this nation's broken systems & to change course. We didn't give it to him. If we don't give you the power, they (Corporate Media, DNC Inc., GOP) will blame you but we know the truth, it'll be on us.

Private education, supported by public taxes, is another, like SS, our Military &Healthcare, discovered income stream for Republicans, but 1st they had to sell the misconception that Public Ed. was failing; Reagan's "A Nation at Risk" took care of that.

Corporations are like sharks, never sleeping, looking for ways to increase profits & lower production costs; their favorite target?, labor & quality.

Just the best get to work for Trump.

Au contraire, DOGE did exactly what it was supposed to do, give Musk payback, cover for his sucking the public teat while appearing for Trump to cut into the federal swamp. It was never about saving us $$.

And just how would Public School teachers go about solving "their problem"?
Short-mindeness is woefully inadequate in trying to describe how he "thinks", for from him sprung MAGA, community dissolvement, a divided nation & the rise of GOP authoritarianism.

Trump bragged that Walmarts' annual Thanksgiving Basket, is cheaper today by ≈ 8$ than last yr. under Biden. He failed to mention, & media interviewer failed to point out, that 1 yr. ago the basket had 21 items in it, today, it has 14. Typical Trump math.

Try, "The Will of the People".
OK, if they, or any "representative", place themselves before & above the people's will, then replace them, make them pay for this, take their job away. For this sole issue, put others aside as this is a struggle for power, power to change & take up other challenges.

Who's going to question it, Corporate Media? Of course not, we will have to demand it. Ever since he let loose with his 1st vindictive 3rd grade name calling, (was it "Nasty Woman", "Pocahontas"?), we should've demanded his disqualification to be on stage, but then again $$ & bigotry run deep.

When he is bedridden due to dementia, can you imagine what he'll be yelling out? We'll never know, after all look at how they immortalized Reagan: DC Airport, Fed. Building, an Aircraft Carrier, Highways... Too bad Melania isn't more like Nancy, she's not very protective.

GOP's Comprhensive Plan for any & all Gov't Assistance:
Expend all your earthly savings, beg, kneel, then thank them for "giving" you a portion of your tax $$'s.

Uh-ohh, 2 BDs? Cue the Jarhead jokes.
That aside, son of 2 WWII Marines & Army Veteran, always saw you as the Men's Department of the Navy. 🫡

1st, guess there's no uniform code, just come as you are?
2nd, who in Hell feels safer with these wanna'bees roaming the streets pretending they're "men" of action?
November 24, 2025 at 2:24 PM
Yes, & I am so worried about Mamdani turning "Moderate". Right now, he burns with passion with all the right issues, but he's up against powerful forces & his fight against his own party, Corporate Media & the GOP has just begun. He, we, won round 1, but he'll need us more than ever. 🤞🏽.

If Trump, his owners, handlers & the GOP flagrantly ignore the Rule-of-Law & our Constitution, surely Market Corporations will never adhere to the U.S. Flag Code. It's not a symbol to them, it's a logo just like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Pizza Hut,.... .

Yes, our democracy has a wide-open door but now we must check who we allow to enter, NAZIs, Hate groups (Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, et al) must be turned away with extreme prejudice. Also, the Dem Party suffers from allowing Corporate $$ to contaminate it, turning Dems into "Left" Republicans. Purge.
November 23, 2025 at 4:32 PM
This is great & at some point we have to come together, put the issues, as critical as they may be, aside but separate us & keeps us from unifying to remove the knee of the Republicans upon our necks, b\c until we can rise up as one, we can't fight back. Remove them all 1st, then we can get busy.
November 23, 2025 at 4:24 PM
Trump badly wants to go back to NYC. If Mamdani produces, he wants a bite of the Apple, he wants to say he did it & ZM couldn't've done it w\o him.

Perhaps she's entering rehab, given her recent brush with lucidity.
