Republicans at boyfriends work not happy about Venezuela.
They were saying that things were happening too fast there. My poor BF has to deal with a bunch of Trumpsters but it’s a good source for knowing what the knuckleheads are thinking. Luckily the owners are very liberal. They are Jewish and almost all of them have gone to University of Michigan despite being from Ohio and Florida.
During speech, Trump claims only Susie Wiles can order nuclear strikes, not him.
I was listening to Trumps speech today at the Saudi Investment Forum and he claimed that he can’t order a nuclear strike, only Susie Wiles (Chief of Staff) can. He said she was the most powerful person in the world.

“With the rising number of senior homelessness. Anyone know any organizations that help seniors on fixed incomes with HOA assessment costs?”
My reply:
Call your congressman and demand that instead of giving tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires help the rest of the population. Don’t vote for anyone that votes for things like the crazy tax cut and tariffs and cuts things like Medicaid and other social programs.
My Gawd! How do they not rush the stage and put this guy away.
Listening to him speaking at the U.S.-Saudi Business forum. He is just blathering crazy lies. Why is EVERYONE not alarmed listening to his craziness?
Two people in little Cape Coral Florida hauled away by ICE for making threats.
This is apparently just the beginning in this Republican area near Naples. For one family they drove up in a tank at 6am and broke down the door of some family with guns drawn whose 74 year old grandfather had supposedly posted “threats” to ICE. In a separate incident, another person posted something on bluesky. They put both of them in detention centers. They just let the 74 year old man go back home after a few days but he will have a court case coming up. They pointed a green laser at the daughter and questioned her in a car and made everyone plus the children leave the house while they ripped it apart. If they start driving tanks in exclusive areas in Naples, we will see a bunch of rich Republicans raising hell.
WW3?? Trump not just warmongering against Venezuela, they're messing w/China, South America, Russia, etc.
Just google “Trump and air craft carriers” or warships to see all of the different military actions he’s taking around the world:
Trump has gotten so power-hungry that he is no longer satisfied with just “taking over” the U.S.
He’s sending out huge aircraft carriers and war ships to several areas. Other countries are now threatening the U.S.:

President Donald Trump’s administration escalated a U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean on Friday by announcing the deployment of the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier group to Latin America — a show of force far beyond any past counter-narcotics effort and Washington’s most assertive move in the region yet.
The deployment, which adds to the eight warships, a nuclear submarine and F-35 aircraft already in the region, marks a significant escalation amid heightened tensions with Venezuela, whose government Washington has long accused of harboring drug traffickers and undermining democratic institutions.

Scary Atlantic article: The depth of MAGA's moral collapse
What a lot of us wanted to think was an abnormality is widespread.
THE DEPTH OF MAGA’S MORAL COLLAPSE
How we got to “I love Hitler.”
OCTOBER 17, 2025
By George Packer

When leaders of Young Republican groups around the country exchange texts that say “I love Hitler”; that joke about gas chambers and rape, approve of slavery, sneer about “watermelon people” and monkeys in zoos, and throw around words like faggot and retarded, they aren’t just exposing their own anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, and misogyny. To see only the varieties of bigotry with which we’re painfully familiar is to miss the depth of MAGA’s moral collapse. Professing love for Hitler is more than anti-Semitic—it’s antihuman. It’s a proud refusal to be bound by the most basic standard of goodness, a deliberate expression of contempt for everything decent. The texts degrade all of us.
And they’re hardly surprising. Cruelty and humiliation have become the Trump administration’s common currency. With permission from President Donald Trump’s coarse rhetoric and vows of hatred, Elon Musk’s Nazi salute, Tucker Carlson’s flirtation with Holocaust denial, and Stephen Miller’s rage-filled threats, the young loyalists who wrote the texts were speaking the language of the people they admire most. Nor was it surprising when, the day after Politico revealed the texts’ existence, the image of an American flag altered into the shape of a swastika appeared on the cubicle wall behind a staffer in the Capitol Hill office of a MAGA congressman. In that culture, the rehabilitation of the man who stands for the worst in humanity was inevitable.
Having been given permission from the country’s most powerful person, the Young Republicans received forgiveness from its second-most-powerful. Vice President J. D. Vance refused to condemn their words, explaining: “I really don’t want us to grow up in a country where a kid telling a stupid joke—telling a very offensive, stupid joke—is cause to ruin their lives.” But the authors of the texts have already grown up—they’re men in their 20s and 30s, climbing the rungs of Republican Party ladders in Kansas, Arizona, Vermont, and New York, firm in the belief that the viler their language, the higher they’ll go. One is already an officeholder.
For Vance, ethical judgment has become a pure matter of partisanship, to the point of overcoming his most personal bonds. When a DOGE member was revealed to have posted “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity” and “Normalize Indian hate,” Vance—married to an Indian American—scoffed at the ensuing outrage and demanded that the offender be rehired. But when private citizens anywhere said something ugly about Charlie Kirk, the vice president went after their livelihood. Once morality is rotted out by partisan relativism, the floor gives way and the fall into nihilism is swift.
The abandonment of a universal morality isn’t just philosophically wrong—it’s politically stupid. Any successful opposition to Trump has to begin with a lucid understanding of what’s at stake: not just past and present harms done to the marginalized, but everything that Americans once believed they cared about, including the values that were co-opted by the right before MAGA abandoned them—respect for law and custom, patriotism, family ties, common decency. To some liberals and progressives these values came to sound old-fashioned, corny, even dangerous. But anyone frightened by the country’s downward spiral has to believe that our society still shares them, and can still respond to them if someone makes the appeal.
Truth & Treason movie about a boy who defied the Nazis in Nazi Germany sold out in my Republican town.
I’ve never seen a movie sold out before - usually there are maybe 8 people in the theater even in the first day of a “big movie” release. I live in a very Republican area (Naples, Fl) that is pretty affluent so something is up. I don’t know if a group got together to see it or what.
Wow! Hard Right "friend" in Chicago liking an anti-ICE message.
This is an old friend whose husband is a hard-right MAGAT who believes in every conspiracy theory and of course, blocked me on Facebook. I’m hoping that these Republicans in Chicago and Illinois are getting pissed off. This is the message she liked:
If you see what’s going on in the country right now, specifically Chicago and Portland, and you don’t recognize how the actions of ICE are unconstitutional, you’re so far removed from reality.
Saying “ICE is only targeting violent criminals” is bullshit when their raids are on schools, churches, hospitals, workplaces, and apartment buildings where children and women are dragged from their beds in the dead of night and their apartments ransacked.
If an officer seizes you without probable cause, uses excessive force, arrests a U.S. citizen as if they were a non‑citizen, or violates free‑speech or due‑process rights, those are constitutional violations.
“What is the probable cause for my arrest” is not enough to keep you from being arrested.
“I do not concent to a search” is not enough to keep you from being arrested.
“I’M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN” IS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU FROM BEING ARRESTED!
I love my country, and I’m heartbroken because I do not recognize my country. These actions are despicable, and anyone who supports this shit should be ashamed of themselves. You are on the wrong side of history.
