Headline on NYT: “Trump Approves $2.8 Billion Arms Sale to Israel, Including 40,000 One-Ton Bombs” Just want to know what all the ‘Dems’ who didn’t vote for Harris because she would be worse than Trump are thinking now. We Ds defeat our own candidates with this type of thinking.

We Dems are going to lose the midterms unless we stop ‘box checking’ Rs support R candidates if they agree with one policy issue. I.e. checking just one box - and will look past other issues Ds will not support a candidate because of one issue, despite agreeing on all other issues Stop this!

(With apologies to PS, WN, KK, WJ, JC) Today many Dems are feeling: ‘In the streets stand the fighters Democratic in their faith But a few Dem Senators squandered our resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises Still those Senators hear what they want to hear And disregards us now

But we carry the reminders Of every D vote that laid us down Or cut us till we cried out In our anger and despair We are leaving, we are leaving, we cry But tomorrow we cry We are still alive We are living still We are still around We will remain And we be back again

‘4,000 murders in Chicago over a short time’, ‘Portland in flames, ICE agents in hand to hand combat with Antifa’ etc, etc, etc. None of it true. 8 killed in Mississippi in 3 separate shootings at football games and homecoming. 3 killed in a restaurant in North Carolina shooting All true in Oct

Trump said “While Charlie has been reunited with his creator in heaven, his voice on earth will let go through the generations, and his name will live forever in the eternal chronicle of America's greatest patriots, He will live forever." How Trump knows Charlie is with his creator, only God knows

But “Charlie was not a legislator. He did not write laws, nor cast votes on the house floor. He was a talker, a salesman, a political entrepreneur who commodified outrage and hate…because division paid his bills…and his words had real consequences for real communities.(Robert L Arnold)

How far WaPo has fallen. George Will, in his typical prose, wrote today in his opinion piece in WaPo. “…let us hope that America’s domestic political degradations have not rendered it incapable of embarrassment” 1/2

2/2 I Responded with: “No George, it is the Tea Party MAGA Republican Party that is incapable of shame let alone embarrassment.” This was rejected by WaPo for ‘not meeting their standards.’ Ridiculous

Looking at the revised jobs numbers Trump created 500,000 fewer jobs in his first 6 months (Feb-July than Biden did in his last 6 months (Aug-Jan) Oh, Trump created 1.5 million fewer jobs in his first 3 years than Obama did in his last 3 years But the GOP is the ‘business party’! Yeah right,

Anyone else confused about how to use or disable this ‘autocorrect’ stuff. After I post something and re-read it, I find words missing or a word that makes no sense inserted instead of the one I thought I had written? I am now re-reading, editing, more than ever and still have this issue. Help!

I used to post: “This century Tea Party MAGA Rs have started 2 wars and passed 3 huge tax cuts for the rich and corporations. One tax cut in time of war.” now I fear it will be: “This century TPM Rs have started 3 wars and passed 4 huge tax cuts for the rich and Cs. Two tax cuts in times of war.”

Dem leaders need to assign & fund the best spokesperson to bring to the public what Trump’s: - pardons - crypto - family corruption - Constitutional violation - corruption - mental decline - weaponization of Government Departments - ETC Are doing to the US No one has to deal with everything

Just who is our President? Seems that Stephen Miller gave the green light to the bombing in Yemen. At Trump’s ‘press conference’ and the speech on Women’s History Month, and the answers on SignalGate he seems more out of it than any other time.

Dear Donald, Perhaps you should consider watching the movie ‘The Man Who Would Be King’. Think about how it ends and keep wondering about the fact that the next little thing you do could be the one thing that pushes you off the edge.

All media needs to be relentless reporting how Trump’s policies are affecting individuals, families, business owners, who are Trump supporters. Interview them. The folks who lose their jobs; the employer who loses their business, Relentless reporting. At the top of the fold. Daily.

Remember when the Tea Party MAGA Republicans went ballistic over Hillary’s private email server when she Sec. of State but now, not a peep from them about Elon, an unelected wacko, having the US Treasury’s data bases on his email server.

Just asking about the Musk Boys at USAID; 1. Are they Native Born Americans? 2. Any anchor babies? 3. Any with immigrant parents? 4. Any of them have or have received federal student loans, grants, scholarships? 5. Did they vote for Trump ? 6. Have they posted mean things about Trump on any media?

Rejecting Ann Telnaes’ political cartoon David Shipley, WaPo’s Opinion Editor said. “My decision was guided by the fact that we had just published a column on the same topic as the cartoon and had…scheduled another column…a satire for publication. The only bias was against repetition.” Sure it was
