America Is Divided

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

Citizens United allowed big political spenders to exploit the growing lack of transparency in political spending. This has contributed to a surge in secret spending from outside groups in federal elections. Dark money expenditures were more than $1 billion in the 2024 presidential elections alone. 🗽

Another incoherent muddle spouted by Trump, while his cabinet sit silently wishing they were anywhere else but there. Even JFK Jr. looks uncomfortable listening to his boss's jabbering.🗽

Pete Hegseth is an idiot and embarrassment, one of many unqualified Trump appointees, reflecting what a bunch of corrupt republican politicians have done to our country promoting Trump's revenge agenda.

Even back during the 2024 presidential campaign Trump's mental state should have been questioned. Remember, "They're eating the people's pets." Anyone else in the world would have been ridiculed and dropped from sight. Not Republicans, they remained silent. 🗽

Nov 2026 is looming.

If Democrats win the majority in 28, we need to hold their feet to the fire to reestablish the fairness doctrine. Right now the majority of news organizations are owned & influenced by billionaires & we've seen how craven they can be, kowtowing to an authoritarian like Trump. WE NEED TO FIX THIS! 🗽

TRUMP'S & THE GOP'S ANSWER TO TRUMP'S RATING WOES: POST THE WORD "AFFORDABILITY" AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN AND THEN DO NOTHING ABOUT AFFORDABILITY.

If SCOTUS rules that much of Trump's Tariffs are illegal, it will be a true turning point for the rule of law. It looks like Congress is also beginning to wake up to the fact that most American voters are fed up with Trump's antics and they may be willing to defy him in the future.

The fact that Pete Hegseth told an Operations commander overseeing an attack on a small vessel carrying 11 people to “kill everybody” is shaping up to be a fight over control of the United States government.

Fellow Americans, maybe it's time we took inspiration from a country that has a healthy democracy. Of course they are fairly homogeneous, having little immigration, but their practice of national referendums are something, if adopted by the US, would give citizens a stronger voice in government.

Trump’s behavior over the holiday weekend has increased concern about his mental acuity. A rant on his social media account at midnight on Thanksgiving threatened to strip citizenship from naturalized citizens. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-1...

It's about time the Republican majority started to look into illegal actions by Trump and his associates. Hopefully, this won't end up a sham investigation. For their own sake they better start reacting to Trump's loose cannon actions if they want to keep their jobs in 2026. 🗽

Why is Trump pushing all these beautification projects when American citizens keep asking him to fulfill his campaign promises to vigorously tackle inflation and do something about healthcare subsidies before they disappear at the end of the year? He seems completely detached from reality. 🗽

It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. Ukraine can't wait around until Trump realizes he's being played by Putin. And even then... he seems to always give another chance to please him. Pathetic!

THIS WAS USUALLY PART OF TRUMP'S STUMP SPEECHES BACK IN THE LATTER PART OF 2024.

Ask yourself, who would vote for someone who spoke like this? People who identify as MAGA, that's who.
