#Republicans (29%) and #Democrats (89%) live in very different economic realities.
"Many Americans see #Trump's actions on economy as too erratic, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds" https://www.reuters.com/world/us/many-americans-see-trumps-actions-economy-too-erratic-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2025-03-12/ #USeconomy
The hypocrisy of American politicians continues to baffle.
Within the next 15 days, they are legally required to vote on a resolution that would reduce Trump's destruction.
To avoid going on record for this vote and facing Trump's/Musk's ire, Republicans added a sentence to the continuing resolution to count the rest of the year as one single day.
Thereby never facing the legal deadline of having to vote within 15 days.

"Some view Maine as a test case for how the Trump administration may try to force its policies on states, regardless of existing state laws. In public comments, residents have invoked the state’s motto to rally Mainers: “Dirigo,” Latin for “I lead.”
“It’s Maine now, but what state is it going to be next?""

Last night I went to a candlelight #vigil for blah blah #Trump shit in a gazebo in a small town park. I live in a #smallTown (~20K people). There were 30-50 in attendance. I'm 55 and was one of the younger people. There were songs and brief speeches. Talk of how we will vote like crazy next time, etc. It was over in 40 minutes (remember: old people).
I couldn't stop thinking that the League of Women Voters (the organizing body) was hopelessly on the back foot. These people, many of whom I know and protested with during Trump 1, seem to be under the impression we merely have an awful president.
I was crying as I left. I hope I'm wrong, but I couldn't stop thinking
Trump keeps making batshit/hateful "pronouncements" via #ExecutiveOrders, #twitter, and #TruthSocial.
Many/most of those represent violations of law/ #constitution and always arrogation of powers that are legally held by #Congress or #SCOTUS.
Nobody is stopping him.
What do you call a system of government where one asshole says whatever shit comes to his mind or makes him wealthier or makes him more powerful, and he always gets what he wants?
I was crying as I left. I hope I'm wrong, but I think we're in a #dictatorship, now. I think we have a chance to save ourselves from this as a long-term situation, but who is going to do that? Not the #Republicans, who are desperate to kiss Trump's ass harder than each other. And not the #Democrats, if all we do is have 40-minute candlelight vigils in out-of-the-way parks where nobody will be inconvenienced or even have to be aware of what we're doing.
#Trump says that #Congress should repeal a #law that would supercharge #US manufacturing of semiconductor chips. The #CHIPS & #Science Act was signed into law by Pres #Biden & heralded as a #bipartisan victory ensuring the US would no longer rely on foreign countries to produce the chips needed in a majority of the #technology we use. Along w/ #Democrats, 24 House #Republicans voted to approve the bill. Many of them were targeted by #FarRight colleagues & #MAGA for backing a Democrat bill.
Most #Republicans stood up to applaud #Trump’s announcement that he would impose reciprocal #tariffs on April 2, but several remained seated, including Sens #LisaMurkowski (Alaska), #SusanCollins (Maine) & #RogerWicker (Mississippi).
I don’t care if they sit or stand. I want them to vote for the US interests & stop kowtowing to Trump.
The Zionists have put #Gaza under siege again as in October 2023.
#Republicans on #Squakbox tell viewers to stop whining and complaining about #inflation.

"Finally, we see an effort to hold" accountable "US officials who have armed, financed and politically defended Israeli atrocities."

"The Treasury Secretary is either blowing smoke or high from inhaling it."
These people are all demonstrated, serial, pathological liars
Really past time to begin simply calling them what they are: liars
And what they say what *they* are: lies
To all those warning of a coup in the US, it’s too late! What needs to be discussed is how to take back our government. And I don’t mean going back to the status quo of the pre trump era of politics. That is what got us here.
Just a few ideas to start the discussion.
1. Reign in the oligarchy.
2. Implement and enforce anti monopoly policies. Block the merger and acquisitions that lead to consolidation of industries.
3. Revise the tax code. End corporate loopholes, investor class loopholes and special interest groups loopholes including religious organizations.
4. Institute data privacy protections
5. Change the way the judicial branch operates. End life time appointments and change how judges are appointed.
6. Change the licensing process for media companies including so called social media.
7. Confront the distortions in society have created a permanent segregated society for large sections of society.
8. Confront the epidemic of poverty and homelessness nationwide.
9. Institutes a universal healthcare system. Take health care out of the hands of employers.
10. Institute a policy of research and development on a national scale. The US will not be able to compete, let alone win global competition with a population of ignorant religious fanatics. Expertise is what we should strive for.
