1. Plaques honoring black soldiers dying liberating Holland from the Nazis taken down.
2. MASSIVE medicare and medicaid cuts.
3. SS-ICE thugs rounding up people right and left.
4. National guard deployed illegally.
5. Desecration of White House.
6. Redactions and holiday release of Epstein files.
7. Illegal bombings in Venezuela and Nigeria.
8. Social Security in danger.
9. Major recession about to happen.
10. Massive inflation from tariffs.
11. Farmers going broke because of tariffs.

Seems like Jon is NOT THE RIGHT SCAPEGOAT.

Gosh, maybe it is Trump and the GOP. Because not to be smart alecky or anything, but this kind of stuff seems just a little more important, as does Trump's treason against this republic because Putin is demonstrably calling the shots.

And WHERE are the Democrats? Asking me for donations. That's where. Oh, pleeeeeeeeze give me money.

No. We gave Harris over $1 BILLION and Thiel/Musk put their thumbs on the scale to make it look like Trump won.

The only Dems that seem to even have a spine are the younger ones. But we still have a bunch of institutionalists in power, and they are happy because their donors are happy. AOC, Bernie, the rest of the squad - all the progressives. And we have Newsom and Pritzker both showing some spine.

WHERE THE HELL IS CONGRESS????????????????? Because Trump is pulling this thing down around our knees. We have three more years of these nazis in power before we can sift through the ruins and start picking up the pieces.

THERE HAD BETTER BE SOME TRIALS FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY COME 2029. Miller, Bannon, Bondi, Noem, Vance, RFK, Hegseth, Thiel, Musk, Zuck. These people need to be on the dock facing life in prison or possibly execution. How many people have died already because of these criminal fucks dancing to the tune of Russian oligarchs????????????????

So we got one off color joke. Jon was wrong. Yes. Horribly wrong...but what about???????????????

I'd say we need to clean house, get rid of fucking Wall Street financiers and billionaire parasites corrupting the government like so many modern robber barons, and impose a NEW FAIRNESS DOCTRINE by changing the rules of corporate governance to include a fiduciary responsibility for corporate officers to hold the interests of workers, the environment AND consumers. This could include a special clause requiring TRUTH in news reporting for consumers of news from publicly traded media companies.

Otherwise the experiment our founders tried will fail.
