So I've noticed lately conservatives opting out of any conversation about politics. More and more I hear something along the lines of "I don't want to talk about it" or "It's not the appropriate place to talk about this". My gut feeling is they know they're on the losing end of any argument. The evidence of this administrations incompetence is so overwhelming and it's affected so many of them personally that even the most hard-core of them are subdued into a painful silence.

So for all who won't engage I now think of you as a

SNOWFLAKE.

This article makes the case that Trump doesn't actually have the legal authority for these tariffs. And that that's what Obama is trying to tell us.

"The key point is this: Without this abuse of power, Trump could not be unleashing such havoc. In short, Trump’s lawlessness and his economic destruction are the same story."

Guess it ain’t a problem that rich men are north of Richmond anymore.

I’m curious about who conservatives will blame for the current economic crisis. During the Biden era, the economy was affected by the war and the pandemic. Conservatives blamed the Biden government. Now that Trump is the cause of the market crash, can we trust them to make the right decisions?

Yup that’s it that’s the post. We need to counter these morons.

The Midwest has been hammered for 3,straight days with tornadoes and they expect biblical flooding.

Not a word from trump.

Myanmar was hit by a horrible earthquake. Thousands dead.

Nothing from trump. Not a word . I'm furious and disgusted. Cuba offered aid after hurricane Katrina. Where are we?

I often ask, "What can I do besides vote, and support candidates?" I think this is amazing practical advice. I hope it's allowed, and I hope you agree.

20 Lessons on Tyranny

In todays episode of Black Mirror, Televangelist and Trump’s spiritual advisor Paula White-Cain is offering Christians “seven supernatural blessings” with a $1000 donation:

1. An angel assigned to them;

2. God being an enemy to their enemies;

3. Prosperity;

4. Sickness removed from them;

5. Long life;

6. Increase and inheritance; and

7. A special year of blessing.

Question for the scholars:

Is it possible that tRumpelstiltskin ends up on the ballot as Vice President, the newly elected MAGA figurehead President resigns just days into the term, and suddenly he’s President again… with a pre-selected Speaker sliding right into the VP role?

Assuming MAGA never gets the 2/3rds needed to over turn the 22nd of course.

**EDIT** Please don't down vote me, it's an honest question.

This is a FAQ by the European Commission about the preposterous claims made by the Trump administration to justify the recent tariffs. Very clear and factual and useful to know.

First - I hope this is okay to post here like this, I'm attempting to see how many people might have experienced this. (Full disclosure, I did ask AI to help with this question to ensure clarity and grammar)

I'm currently looking into situations where individuals have had their bank accounts frozen due to OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions, specifically related to issues proving their U.S. citizenship.

If you've recently experienced a bank account hold or freeze because your bank required you to verify your citizenship status—especially if you’re already a U.S. citizen—I’d greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience.

• How long was your account blocked?
• What documents were required?
• Were you provided with clear information on how to resolve the issue?
• Was the issue resolved without further complications?

Please share only what you're comfortable with—your privacy matters. I'm just trying to understand how widespread this issue might be.

Where I grew up in Chicago we used to call this a shakedown. Now instead of petty crooks extorting local small businesses, its the President of the United States threatening law firms who have represented clients who've sued him or his Administrations. What a corrupt Trump world we're forced to live in now.

I believe a lot of other Americans would buy this toy as well.

I don't want to hear Trump's voice coming into our house without our being able to show our hatred of them both!
