I'm in mourning today after watching the big, ugly bill get passed and aware of the cruel ramifications.

So many will be negatively impacted by the sheer cruelty of cutting health care, SNAP, CHIP, etc. just so megadonors and ultra-wealthy can enjoy their tax cut (now permanent). Immigrants, veterans, Medicaid and Medicare recipients, rural health care clinics (patients and employees) will all be hurt by this.
This was a travesty and it's 900 plus pages have "with malice aforethought" undermined those who need it most. Once again, the cruelty is the point.
And Drumpf holds a rally and says: "They hate Trump. That's ok, I hate them too." Now that's presidential Mr. Divider in Chief.

Hakeem did his best, and for that I am grateful.
Take care, DU'ers. Hope you're doing better than me.

Went to a rally today. Couple incidents where a protestor attacked and another fight. Unsure about the second regarding

provocation and first guy just holding a sign . Lots of drugs and LOTS of anger going around in my community.
It's sad to watch but I have to do something by showing up. Today's theme for my sign was "fight fascism." Many fascist fighters in my family lineage going back to Civil War. Guess it's my turn. "Democracy is not a spectator sport" will always be true, and sometimes you need to fight hard, or to the best of our ability.
One last observation. The division we are experiencing is something unleashed by many dark "influencers" both domestically and internationally. I don't know how we get it back.
OK last observation from history After the civil war, the one thing that terrified the now former-slave-owners was the possibility that the freed slaves and the poor whites who had nothin' would join together. We need to come together this summer. Half of us have next to nothin'.

Does anyone wonder if C-PAC embrace of Orban as keynote speaker and his tutoring visit to Magat-Lago was not

"Dicktator in Training"?. I'm sure Vlad and others are providing plenty of guidance as well. Every day is another push and outrage toward fascism. It's by design, it is well-planned and we need lots of John Lewis's right now. At least we can all channel his spirit and do our own version, to the extent we can.
Love y'all (Trey Crowder and me).

This bill is so destructive to our country, unless you're rich. It is for the next TEN years and at 1100 pages, they

don't even know what's in it. A vote is expected tonight regardless. Slashes to Medicaid, Medicare so billionaires can suck martinis on their yachts. The cuts to social and medical programs is clear. They don't fucking care about you at all. AT ALL.
How MAGATS think this will help them is proof that they are fucking clueless.

Just experienced another "road rage" incident. It's becoming common. NEVER used to happen. Laws and rules are optional.

Don't know what to do about it. Seems like we are spiraling and I'm sure 45's cabinet and Vlad are excited to see it.
I don't do "social" media but it looks pretty ugly as well, from the reporting I see.

I'm just wondering why "our side" always has to set the example for democratic leadership, civility, adherence to the

RULE OF LAW FCS, while the other side can do everything up to and including to a coup and coalesce behind a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, Putin-loving, Kim Jong loving, Victor Orban loving, Xi loving and gaslighting "the enemy within" (that would be us.)
We have to decide if we are going to actively resist, knowing the Orange One would LOVE to impose martial law, the Insurrection Act, and whatever else for the sole sake of bloodshed, punishment and to be like his DFF's. "Why can't we just shoot them?"
I wish Washington or Lincoln could come back and smack this motherfucker square in the face for what he is advocating, embracing and projecting throughout the world.
Embarrassed for our country, afraid for our allies and know full well that he is in bed up to his ass with Vlad and Friends. That should be the show. Fuck Fox and Friends. Let's do Vlad and Friends and cut through the façade of any faux loyalty to the U.S. and our Constitution.
Orange Boy and entire (prove me wrong) GOP are in to burn us to the ground. And MSM just whistles past the graveyard. Disgusting.
