Do you know what's even more embarrassing than

[babylonsister]

that orange ignoramus? The fact we apparently don't know how to stop him. Terrifying, really.

[a kennedy]

1. I KNOW!!!!!!! What the fawk are we supposed to do for the next 1301 days!!!!!

[Permanut]

2. Especially when he's planning another 7,000 days.

[dalton99a]

3. It's obey or else. We have a bona fide dictator.

Since day one

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Of course we know how to stop him

It’s just that the people with the power to stop him don’t want to, or don’t have the courage.

But, make no mistake, we know how to stop him.

[babylonsister]

5. Point taken. But out here it's feeling

fairly helpless because of those cowards/greedy sumsabitches who have put their wallets ahead of their constituents. Don't get me started on their morality or integrity or...

[W_HAMILTON]

15. I agree, too many voters that had the power to stop him chose not to -- again.

[Dan]

6. There will come a day, when enough is enough.

[Skittles]

7. honestly

it feels like that time is already LONG PAST

[calimary]

19. I keep telling myself that.

Still waiting for that day... when enough finally IS enough.

[bsiebs]

8. Enough Repub voters need to wake up...

… only then will their damn Repub reps and senators realize they need to do something other than worship their orange leader to keep their god damn jobs that they love so much…. Fuck them all

[Hornedfrog2000]

9. Putin is spending billions to take us down from within

Hes basically spending money to buy, and blackmail our officials.

[ShazzieB]

10. It's not that we don't know how to stop him.

The solution is quite clear: impeach the bastard and remove him from office.

Unfortunately, those things can only be done by Congress, which is currently controlled by Republicans, some of whom fully support Trump and some of whom are terrified to oppose him.

Everyone else's hands are tied, because Republicans are in control.

[Trueblue Texan]

11. We know WHAT would stop him: a decrease in sycophants.

Trouble is, how do we stop the sycophants?

[babylonsister]

12. I can answer that. When something big happens

to impact their way of life, like losing Medicaid, the tunes will change. How could they not?

[Gimpyknee]

13. Something big? Like women responding to the overturn of Roe v Wade?

[Hope22]

14. Like people responding to the overturn on rove wade.

It’s not a woman problem !!!! It is a human problem and when it is thought of in that light the answer will come! Problem solved.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

16. If enough wealthy people who support

progressive ideals would invest in a mission to counter the RW propaganda machine and get factual info into circulation the country would elect candidates who support the needs of the vast majority of the people.

Everyone I know who voted for Pissolini did so based on disinformation and belligerent ignorance. Most of them would not support the cruelty & injustice if they saw it for what it truly is. They've been convinced that Dems & immigrants are downright evil and must be stopped by any means necessary.

The same way the RW/MAGAts got their lies out Progressives could get the truth out. It would take determination, experts on storytelling (the supposedly left-wing Hollywood creators) since straight facts are sadly proven not to sway "believers&quot , and money to pay for the campaign.

RWers/MAGAts/Republicans with money are happy to pay to spread RW lies because the disinformation makes it possible for them to seize more money & power. They can buy politicians who legalize their corruption.

The payback for spreading the truth is a more equal distribution of money & power--more wealth, health, and happiness for far more people.

The trick is funding, and creating, and running such an operation.

[Heidi]

17. Kick, kick, kick!

[Passages]

18. The leadership knows how. They refuse, hoping business as usual will prevail and bring enough of a win

in 2026, despite their non-serious, ineffective approach.

Dangerous times for America.

[tazcat]

20. Merrick Garland

[MiHale]

21. Amen, babs...

Confounding times…
