I can't believe I am living through a Genocide
Okay, this is my introductory post for and I am expected to speak my heart ... this is supposedly the place where people share their deepest thoughts.... - Sassiebrat67...

c'mon, these United States are being led by a demented megalomaniacal fascist, rapist, rascist, stupid, felon, surrounded by low character sycophants who reinforce his delusions. the people that voted for him are dangerous - and a joke.... - tjones47...
Trump is a name calling braggart. He is also a good father and citizen. I am 76 and am hornswoggled at the amount of energy Pres. Trump has at 80 to give to the American people. Do you think it is okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon?... - onActing Attorney General Todd Blanche made a direct statement during his confirmation hearing. He showed he is willing to examine whether former Special Counsel Jack Smith committed perjury.bySassiebrat67...
The issue from what I understand is the text tap was not the same instance that Hawley was speaking of. Two different subpoena for 2 different investigations. Hawley used to be one of my favorites, until of late. For me he is now a traitor.... - Sassiebrat67...
Worth mentioning
I think its worth mentioning that Trump has done the ONE thing no one else has been able to do.... The Corruption by him, his family, the D.O.J.,F.B.I., Pentagon, Congress, Senate, being done so blatantly, in our face, has opened the eyes of many to the fact our Constitution has... - onI keep coming up against people who don't understand that there were 75 some million people who voted for what's happening in America & in the world right now. My fellow progressives & people on the left have become a bit too angry at all of them, as if millions of people are just going to disappear once things are being run rationally again. We can't hate all of them. I suspect there's at least 20 million wives who had to vote for Trump or else & are probably brainwashed to some extent or another. There's another 25 million who just go along with what everybody around them is doing & never had an original thought in their lives. It actually is beyond me. How many people ended up voting for him.bySassiebrat67...
Exactly. Like RED or BLUE is the end all. You wouldn't believe all the family whom no longer speak to me because I CANNOT, as a human, as a mother, support this administration. Their policies go against ALL my values.... - onHi. I’m a passionate progressive, desperate to stop the damage being done by this administration, by helping to create the biggest Blue Wave possible in the upcoming midterm elections. I suspect that the right wing, including the Republicans and other allies with unlimited funding will be doing everything they possibly can to steal these elections, through voter suppression and actual vote manipulation (cheating) that they are preparing for but that we will be blind to. So I believe that our only realistic hope lies in massive voter turnout that overwhelms their ability to cheat. What makes this task even more difficult is that they have virtually total control over the media through their corporate ownership, and they are willing to manipulate the news for their benefit. It’s going to take a lot of social action, in the streets and in social media platforms like this to get around the obstacles they have put in place.bySassiebrat67...
I concur!! We need to STOP this administration as quickly as possible. And I agree completely with all youve said. I just do not want to pin my hopes on a "party" saving the day.... - tjones47...
Americans are a free people. Free people do not have to give anything to anyone. Helping widows, orphans and disabled people is done using Free Will with help from our Republic and churches. As free people, we take care of ourselves.... Congress Pushes Military Integration with Israel That Threatens US Sovereignty
We Cannot Align the US Military with Israel’s Forces The United States cannot allow its military to become aligned with the Israeli military through this new integration plan.... - JustJacki...
Please elaborate on exactly what makes "Mak[ing] America Great Again" eligible to be considered nonsense? It's about time we collectively try to build this country back up to what it once was glorified as. We've been systematically going downhill for the last 60-80 years.... - onok, not to be a downer or start a fight or offend anyone , I just would like to ask if anyone here has thoughts on the global political scene. I am 58 and have never given two fucks about politics because I just always knew it was a joke, a scam, a game being run on the people. But the moves lately have caught my attention. Yet, I do not watch TV at all. for almost 10 years. Because it is an tool used to control perception and thereby behavior. And I like to be free from control. I have some very radical beliefs, but I am always interested in learning how other people feel and think about their life. I know I am intelligent enough to believe I do not know everything and also that every belief I have now has been expanded from something that came before it so all of my beliefs are subject to be expanded. so if you engage with me be prepared to not take anything I say as something I expect you to adapt to. I have strong feelings, radical beliefs, and I would love seeing if anyone else is fed up with the entire system as I am. 🤸🤸🤸🌼byD Marie...
I think I understand. My decades of observation is calling bull honkey on television news, all of them. This is a fermented distrust, potent with distaste and awareness. I hate how deep the programming can go with many people. It’s a dangerous game admitted to by William J.... - Sassiebrat67...
You aren't alone in feeling horrified by what our govt is doing. And neither are you alone in having the deepest love of and hopeful this Republic. Keep hoping keep loving and hopefully enough of us feeling this can come together with a solution.... - onReality seems less real to me these days. How have we as a society allowed so few to have so much and so many to have nothing? I am 61. I am truly failing in every aspect. My health. My relationships. My finances. My sanity. Every moment is a struggle. I am suffering. Greatly. How did we allow ourselves to make a world that lets a billionaire be guilty of serious crimes against children walk freely freely but send an average joe to jail for unpaid parking tickets? The whole world feels like it has tipped. . Something is shifting.bySassiebrat67...
EXACTLY how I am feeling. I believe gen x was the last generation to live under, be taught of, to KNOW what it means to be moral, have ethics, and to understand what a blessing is was to be AMERICAN.... - AndreaT...
