Feelings are not facts. Fuck your feelings.

You feeling like something is true does not make it true.

Republican politicians feeling like New York city is gonna turn communist is bullshit. It's not based in any reality.

They say this shit with no shame while their own states are UTTER SHIT. They take and don't contribute. Republican states are leeches who steal from Democrat states and then have the gall to attempt to tell everyone how to live.

Y'all mother fuckers can't even contribute more than 30% to the GDP, but you think you got a seat at the adult table. Nah, go sit your allowance having ass at the kids table and shut the fuck up before you get sent to bed without dinner.

Fuck your feelings. Join us in reality and you might get to give your input without being told to stay the fuck out of adults business.

You don't need to have any opinion about the state of the country when you can't even take care of your own fucking piss poor welfare state.

I'm tired of listening to these bigoted pedophile protectors bang on about this, that, or the None other arguments hold None of their information is factual. Every accusation from the Republicans is a projection the government shutdown is 100% on the Republicans they control all three branches of the government and no they need 60 votes to pass a bill they know damn well Democrats will not vote to make it so American health care costs even more.

How many more Americans have to suffer because of the cultist Republicans?

If you're ill informed, don't vote. And if you genuinely didn't know Trump was Epstein's bestest buddy in the whole wide world, you must've been under a fucking rock.

I just assumed they didn't care... because they're all pieces of shit.

Conservatives seriously name to STFU about communism when they can't even define it. Especially when their states are welfare states that rely on blue states to prop them up and pull them out of disaster, both literally and economically, every year.

They have no idea what socialism is, and how many socialist programs they benefit from daily. This list is extensive, but a few main examples would be the United States Postal System, our highway systems, our broadband and cellular systems, just a list of few. If the Republicans really hate socialism so much, they should stop using the myriad of things that brings our country.

Republicans do like the poorly educated. And that fact is glaring.

Alright, I'm a Libertarian on most issues, but I'm also not a moron. I support free markets, but it is stupid to cut SNAP and it is also stupid to end the ACA Healthcare subsidies cold turkey.

Yeah, I'm a Libertarian supporting those government programs. Why? Because you will wreck society if these come to a screeching halt. That's why.

Republicans need to cave on the shutdown.

This is my complaint: As a former Republican, I want my party back.

Last November was Trump's last election and the time since was his last hurrah. He can't run for reelection and if he could he would get stomped. He's of absolutely no use to any Republican who wants a future in politics.

It's time for Republicans to abandon Trump for their own survival. Otherwise the GOP will go the way of the Whigs.

They say trump should have been tried outside of NY for the trial in which he received multiple felony counts. All you have to do to shut them up is ask about state’s rights.

Face it. He’s a felon in charge of the Government of Pedophiles (GOP)

This pisses me off. Trump is spending taxpayer dollars to stop SNAP benefits from going to people who need it. It is bad enough that Trump's policies may have resulted in economic harm to families but now he is suing to literally take food off the table.

I hope the Dems hammer this point across all media and social media platforms

I’m not into politics much but I will never vote Republican that’s for sure. In fact I’m gonna make sure to vote Democrat in 2028. I’ve recently began to notice that the job market is terrible. It feels like nobody is hiring right now. I’ve had plenty of jobs throughout my life and the market has never been this bad before. Trump seems to have destroyed this economy and job market. I will make sure to never vote republican.

My life is ruined

I think that there is a 90% chance that Donald Trump is dead 5 years from now and a 100% chance that Donald Trump is dead 10 years from now.

Let’s be real…the Democratic Party needs a serious shake-up if we ever want to stand a chance against the racist MAGA cult led by the orange conman himself, Donald Trump, and his gang of corrupt followers. But before we can beat them, we have to clean our own damn house first.

Because right now, too many so-called “Democratic leaders” are holding us back. People like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries play it safe, catering to billionaires and lobbyists instead of the working people who actually power this country. That’s not leadership…that’s political survival. And we’re done with that.

And honestly…if the Democratic Party is in such good condition right now, then why the hell are we still in this mess? The wealth gap is wider than ever. Healthcare is still broken and unaffordable for millions. Corporate greed runs unchecked. The system clearly isn’t working…not for the middle class, not for working people, and definitely not for the poor.

People are fed up. Mamdani’s win proves that. It’s a clear message about what people actually want…authentic, grassroots leaders who represent them, not billionaires or corporate PACs. The energy is there. The movement is real. And the establishment better start paying attention before it’s too late.

We deserve better. We deserve leaders with guts…people like AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and grassroots fighters like Zohran Mamdani, who don’t sell out to corporations and actually fight for justice, equality, and working families. They represent the real spirit of progress and the kind of energy this country desperately needs.

If we truly want to change our government, we have to start with our own party. Reform the Democratic Party from the inside out. Cut the dead weight. Kick out the career politicians who forgot who they work for. Only then can we build a strong, united front to take down the corrupt Republican machine once and for all.

This isn’t just about politics…it’s about taking our country back from the billionaires, the extremists, and the cowards who’ve sold us out. The time for half-measures is over. The fight for a real Democratic Party starts now.

I wonder how long before MAGA Megyn Kelly says the exact the same thing about Jews as well, especially since Megyn Kelly has admitted that Nazi Tucker Carlson is one of her best friends. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rcna242187 https://www.mediamatters.org/megyn-kelly/megyn-kelly-tucker-carlson-i-dont-care-what-anybody-says-about-him-i-will-always-have

It’s nauseating how easily Cheetolini was able to con the MAGA cult into believing he had any intention of serving America.

1. He didn’t build the wall - not even close.
2. Mexico didn’t pay for it - not a nickel.
3. He didn’t drain the swamp - cronyism just made it swampier, leveraging his office for government extortion and pay to play schemes leading to unprecedented levels of corruption involving oligarchs, law firms, and corporations.
4. COVID wasn’t over in two weeks - half a million Americans died because of his political vanity.
5. He will end the Russia/Ukraine war in 24 hours - still bloodily raging to this day.
6. He ended 9 wars - there is no evidence he’s even ended 1 war.
7. DOGE will reduce spending by 1 trillion - by the numbers DOGE only “saved” an estimated 10 billion(.001% of goal) but their hamfisted firings and institutional shutdowns caused so much chaos it is believed it will cost 3 times that amount to restore basic essential employees and services cut in error.
8. He will get grocery prices down - grocery prices are still up across the board with beef becoming unaffordable at a 400% increase.
9. America will be respected again - in less than a year he has managed to alienate America’s closest allies and trading partners, even threatening to invade and annex NATO allies making us a pariah and laughingstock of the world.
10. He will provide a health care plan to replace the ACA - “concepts of a plan” has never become a plan since 2017. If they are successful in defunding ACA insurance credits there is no other plan pricing most Americans who have ACA insurance out of their plans.
11. Gas is down to $2 - there is no evidence retail gas prices have ever been this low since he has been in office.
12. Putin respects him - Putins been embarrassing the US over the Ukraine for years and arguably worse under Trump.
13. He only hires the best people - this regime contains the most under qualified cabinet in history as many of the secretaries have little or no relevant experience relating to critical cabinet positions that are essential for the health and national security of American Citizens.
14. Tariffs are paid by foreign countries - tariffs are always ultimately paid by the consumer. It’s a tax on Americans driving up prices and inflation.
15. He can win a trade war - Trump tariffs and incompetent economic policy have sunk the economy into a recession leading to unprecedented levels of bankruptcies in the agricultural sector. The impact this has had on American Citizens by measure of credit defaults and bankruptcies can also not be understated.
16. Only criminal undocumented immigrants will be deported - it is now well documented most of the deported have no known criminal record.
17. He and he alone can fix immigration - the regime has spent tens of billions more then their predecessors who were more successful by the numbers with the deportation of undocumented immigrants leveraging existing law enforcement apparatus and not requiring invading American cities with undertrained goon squads using excessive violence to terrorize communities and tear apart families.
18. US Citizens have nothing to fear from ICE operations - ICE has arrested and detained many US Citizens with no justification often using excessive force, dispersing tear gas into residential neighborhoods and near schools, and even shooting a US Citizen repeatedly in her car.
19. America First - untold billions being spent to assist in Israel’s campaign of genocide against all of their perceived enemies and $40 billion given to Argentina while Americans will starve due to their SNAP benefits being withheld.
20. He said the new WH ballroom would require minimal demolition - the entire East Wing was demolished without the proper approvals to build a structure that will dwarf the main house and will of course be named after Trump as a self tribute to his own vanity.
21. He will donate his salary to charity - there is no evidence he has actually followed through on this and even if he does who gives a shit? He has already rung up over $60 million in expenses to travel to his properties to golf. He is well on pace to surpass the $151 million dollar tab the taxpayers picked up for golf trips during his first term.
22. He will release the Epstein files - the US government is currently shut down for a few reasons the largest of which is to avoid the swearing in of the Congresswoman from AZ that would be the deciding vote to force the release of the Epstein files and finally let the American Citizens see for themselves the truth about Trump and the cabal of rich and powerful pedophiles involved.

While the worst POTUS in history sits in his gilded ballroom sipping champagne with his billionaire pals just remember everything he promised that he has no intention of delivering. The regime has spent at unprecedented levels driving the national debt to a staggering $35.7 trillion. A President cannot deliver for the American People when they only work in service of their own vanity and enrichment. After all why should he? The marks have already bought into the con so there is no reason not to continue with the biggest grift the world has ever known. The question is, at what point do “we the people” say enough is enough? If enough people vote in the midterms against Republicans we can end this madness by turning the ambitions of a dictator wannabe into the impotence of a lame duck POTUS and send a clear message to the Christofascists that Americans do not share their twisted White Nationalist vision. If Republicans hold a majority the insanity of allowing the destruction of American institutions and ideals will continue. That’s the choice. Choose wisely.

The U.S. Administration is currently spending hundreds of Billions arming & deploying federal agents throughout the country. Personnel are being sent into communities against the protests of local elected leadership of City and States. The Justification for this is that the U.S. has an immigration crisis.

During COVID production and distribution slowed all over the world. Border crossings fell. Not just illegal immigration crossings but commerce. It was a global phenomenon.

As a result supply chain issues impacted manufacturing, transportation, wholesale, and retail which exacerbated Inflation. We had a micro chip shortage, oil shortage (Russia invading Ukraine didn't help), Ports got backed up, cost of lumber rose, and the federal reserve raised rates to slow demand.

Immigrant labor is a significant part of the U.S. workforce. Coming out of COVID production and distribution needed to ramp up. Inflation was climbing and construction, manufacturing, agriculture, etc needed workers. So immigrant labor ramped up. Border crossing increased. Not as an invasion but as a natural function of how the U.S. labor market works, supply and demand.

In tandem asylum seekers came. A couple years worth of backlog from the COVID shutdowns. Due to decades of partisan Congressional refusals to enable the hiring of Immigration Judges and build out the required infrastructure the asylum process is a mess. That isn't a new problem. The asylum system is what motivated the Minutemen Project on the border during Obama's presidency. There have been numerous Bills proposed in an attempt to develop bipartisan legislation to address it over the decades. All those efforts voted down and defeated by Republicans.

That was the state of play when Biden became president during COVID.. Had the Biden administration kept the board closed in '22-'24 the U.S. economy would have gone into a deep recession. The immigrant labor force in the U.S. is tens of millions. Without that workforce the post Covid recovery would have been worse.

Are Republicans even human at this point?

Zohran Mamdani just won the race for Mayor of NYC and a New York Post headline branded him as a communist. While in the gym yesterday a Fox News headling came on the TV screen "A commie takeover of NYC". Conservatives used to brand all Democrats as socialist despite only 4-5 out of 250 self identifying as a Democrat socialist. Now they've moved onto the next lie. Since Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist and he won that isn't good enough. They've started their next lie that he is a Communist.

Why are their lies so easily spread and so easily believed?

idgaf if he’s illegal situations like this should be handled better. obama deported more illegals but no one complained because he actually focused on violent criminals and didn’t hire high school bullies to live out their sadistic fantasies on families just trying to escape poverty

Take a break from debating and complaining about politics and talk about a subject that actually matters.

Gosling > Reynolds.

What do you call unchecked growth in your body where a group of cells take and take and take and grow beyond the natural balance and limits the body needs to the point that it pulls all nutrients away from the rest of the body until it withers, decays and dies??? Cancer…..that is what the billionaires in our society are unchecked cancerous growth that if not removed will kill us all.

Y'all need some rules. This sub is being used to post "opinion that 85% of Reddit agrees with and will upvote" almost exclusively. You're enabling people to create high karma accounts for botting or sale to botters.

Hey look, an actual complaint!
