Democratic leadership needs to get a clue if they are upset about the “protests” at the speech.

Right!!! Who are these people that are unhappy?! Im so sick of these Democratic leaders being door mats to Republican rage. Get...A...Spine!

Dems need new leadership.

Full stop. Younger, aggressive leaders who are not afraid to speak truth to power. They have some great available to them. They must tap them.

James Talarico out of Texas would be a good place to start.

Who are these democrats that are upset? They are DINOs. Democrats in name only. Get rid of them!

Donnie's embarrassed he couldn't lower the price of eggs... how cute... I'm gonna keep talking about that, groceries, and the stock market.

Wonder how MAGAts will excuse this one!

By blaming it on Joe Biden as always 🙄🙄

"Joe Biden took our presidents brain!"

Maybe I should post about the egg prices…here in CA they’re $8-10 / dozen

Ya it’s the same here in Colorado haven’t found any under $8

Fuck “house democratic leadership”. They should focus on leading more effectively, and stop nitpicking the archaic “decorum” standards of Congress. Someone needs to remind them that they are all replaceable

Expand full comment

How can they not understand their base took a hard left without them and if they don't get on board they'll never win again.

I read an interesting article recently about it (on Substack, don’t remember who wrote it, maybe Heather Cox Richardson?) about how, given the congressional over representation of red states, and the fact that blue states are more populous, and therefore easier to gerrymander, the right *always* had an advantage in elections. Which means that democrats try to win elections by appealing to the middle, and republicans try to win by doubling down. Both tactics work sometimes. But it basically means, just like Black women need to work twice as hard as white men for the same job, progressives have to work twice as hard as conservatives to get their seats in Congress. Part of why I don’t think this ends with democrats “winning” back the White House. The whole system needs to be scrapped and restarted. I don’t really want to be here when that happens, but I don’t see any way around it.

They want to use disabled people for fucking biofuel, for fuck’s sake. They’re monsters, and they’re why god made guillotines

I agreed with all you wrote except the end… your last few words, to me, erase your message.

(I’m sorry, you are angry.)

Expand full comment

I agree. It went off the rails at the end.

Expand full comment

You say the whole system needs to be scrapped and restarted, but isn’t that what Trump claims he’s doing?

Expand full comment

Trump wants to sell the U.S. to Russia, entirely for his and his own financial benefit. So no. He’s trying to sell the country. I’d like to see it saved, and all people in it flourish. Even Nebraska farmers. But it’s not sustainable in its current state

I’m saying even returning to the status quo of having a “progressive” in the White House, we still don’t have socialized health care or guaranteed time off for paternal leave, or even for sick days, no increase in federal minimum wage in 16 years, a nationwide housing crisis, no way for most people to go to college without crippling debt, presidential seats available to the highest bidder…

It’s a long list of things that almost every other western country has that Americans do not have, and doesn’t seem to be on the horizon, because the *best case scenario* is that we return to that bullshit status quo four years from now, and that’s not good enough. Because the odds are not in our favor. Because the left will *always* have to run to the middle to win, which pushes us inevitably farther to the right.

I’m not advocating violence. But I don’t see how any of this ends without violence. If you can, I’d love to hear your plans. Please. Tell it to every Democrat in Congress, because they don’t know what to fucking do

25k for a washer dryer setup… and they are worried we are wasting money. Seriously?

Expand full comment

I just got a brand new washer and dryer for $2,500. $25K is insane.

Expand full comment

Maybe they’re more expensive now. You know, tariffs…s/

Not to mention the millions and millions spent every time the orange one golfs.

Expand full comment

I know, right!! I am beyond pissed when I hear numbers on how much we spend flying him to golf at clubs he owns and makes money from us by playing. And then the super bowl and race - beyond wasteful. And then there are the supposed gold toilets, diet coke on demand and whatnot. 🤮

but laying around on the beach every week-end

or even calling a lid on the day at 2pm is okay?

That said, remember President Trump and Musk are not taking paychecks

Well fotus resurfaced his desk for 1000’s of dollars because little X wiped his boogers all over it. I guess his disinfectant doesn’t work on desks. (That was our wasted tax dollars used!)

Expand full comment

Not true. He changed it for a different desk, one that he looks bigger behind.

Expand full comment

To get the other one disinfected and finished before moving it back in! He wants the Kennnedy type pictures with the "bigly" desk!🤣

If bleach works for covid, doesn't it work for his desk? (Just kidding. I know you can't bleach wood. 🙄)

Go to a scratch and dent store and get a set up for less than 1000 ass hats like normal people who live pay check to paycheck and they are all making our lives worse

What the H is up with Democrats who are upset that their colleagues didn’t clap for Trump’s lies? 😳 I’m upset that they didn’t also stand up and interrupt the speech! They should not normalize what is happening to our democracy- This is an authoritarian takeover. They should have all walked out in solidarity with Mr. Green! 😡

The establishment Democrats are literally like half a step down from the Republicans. They’re like Republican light. What we need are more progressive Democrats!!

Expand full comment

Agree think I need to contact Jeffries and Schumer again. Come on now

Expand full comment

Now I know why they haven’t been organizing and fighting alongside us.

Expand full comment

Thank you. I agree with every word!! I am beginning to think the Dems are complicit, by their INACTION. They seem to be forgetting that they work for “We, the American people”! And Elections are Tuesday, Nov3, 2026. If they continue to play childish games with our country, our children will be affected. Democracy will not prevail… they Know This… and are doing Nothing… except a handful of members, and the voice of Reason and HOPE because he SHOUTED out Loud is Rep. Al Green!

It’s time for a new more progressive Democratic Party.

I don’t know where they are buying their eggs for $4.75 (?) but our eggs are $7.00/dozen.

Expand full comment

$12.96 at a Target in CA, if they have any! $8.96 for 24 at Costco, also if they have any.

Expand full comment

I was gonna say the same out here in CA.

Expand full comment

4.99 at my Trader Joe's I go to but we can only buy one dozen. 🥴

Expand full comment

A quick quesrion: Does Trader Joe's count as a large corporate chain, or no because they locally source?

Expand full comment

$6 a dozen at Walmart in WI

Expand full comment

Whaaat they're at least 9.99 here

Boycotting Target since their policy shift. Canceled my card and account. I hope consumers keep it up!!

Also keeping a full cart on Amazon but not checking out. Will continue to boycott through 4/14 and then only buy if it’s absolutely essential. The same with Walmart and Sam’s. Letting my membership expire on 3/20. Getting daily reminders but just reopened my Costco.

I’m a proud Canadian and every Canadian I know is shopping Canadian first. Produce from USA are sitting in bins untouched.

Expand full comment

Oh and supporting and participating in the boycotts and spending as little as possible other than paying off debt.

Expand full comment

Me too! I see I have more money leftover each month and am either taking it out as cash or paying extra on 💸 debt. You really can tell how much you spend each month on things you might not need. Good wake up call.

Also paying in cash for everyday things to limit visa making profits and it gives that money back to the business I’m supporting.

Donald Trump is a Russian agent. Saying otherwise is fake news. See how easy that is?

Expand full comment

I don't think he an agent, but definitely a Russian asset. There is an author by the name of Craig Unger, he has studied this extensively and written two books on it. He has the receipts for everything he says and his research dates back all the way to 1980, where he says Trumps relationship with Russia/Putin began. Very interesting reads!

Thank you. I look forward to reading Craig Unger’s work! We must state what is the best proof about the ‘orange cretin’.

Thanks Aaron. Keep up the strong work. It’s appreciated.
