Citizens United is tge ruling that allowed the criminal element into government. There is so much money sloshing around DC that the mob now wants in

Lynn - each time I see what the spending is (and I contribute) I think how much good could be done w/ all the donations. Housing, education, food. This will have been my last election for donations. I can't afford it and I'd rather send to DonorsChoose.

I agree. I’ve contributed so much to election campaigns. It should not cost that much to become a Senator or President

"We’ve begun living within the confines of a mafia state...," no, we've returned to living in a Mafia state. US History is full of self-dealing presidents, corrupt officials, and a press that can be bought with a song. Don't kid yourself, the New Deal period that ended in 2000 was a bright spot in the otherwise blighted history of the United States. We are just sad that we lived through much of it and now it is returned to its bad old self. Trump is only third on the Sienna list: https://www.usnews.com/news/special-reports/the-worst-presidents/articles/ranking-americas-worst-presidents

A international criminal syndicate masquerading as government.. That’s all I got, this is my gut feeling.

That’s what we’ve got. Just like Russia

Alas, except for a few periods, you are correct. It's amazing we got as far as we did.

Roosevelt was the reason we got out of the Great Depression & developed a large middle class

And they viewed him as a "class-traitor" and have been trying to steal it back ever since.

And I'd bet dimes to donuts, he is using OPM for these legal atrocities.

Actually, Donnie Convict, please don't do anything for the people of America, because whatever you came up with would be awful. Just spend the next 4 years piling up ill-gotten gains and we'll actually be better off!

He can’t do anything FOR the people. He’s too fucking self absorbed to give a shit about “the people”. The only thing he can do and do well is screw them all over. Maybe one day, his maga morons will figure that out. I seriously doubt it but I still hold out hope for some of them.

The miasma of MAGA morons have no idea of what life in a mafia state means to them, but they’re about to find out… just how fucking ignorant their derpish decisions on voting for a execrable crime family wastrel will affect them SPW!!

They will never, never abandon their god. It is an article of faith now, you take the suffering like the wounds on the body of Christ. We are doomed.

Expand full comment

You're way too optimistic. They won't figure out the "no food" result of the climate crisis either.

Expand full comment

Oh, Ellen, the "no food" and if any food, much higher prices because of the deportation of those who "make food happen" and pay taxes while getting very little benefit. It is so difficult to understand how unaware or unthinking so many are.

Expand full comment

I'm actually surprised that agriculture has proven as resilient as it has (so far). I'd have expected to feel the pinch of crop failures more acutely by now.

Expand full comment

Well, remember, fruits and vegetables are Californian and we have not seen the issues the southeast sees. The weather in the midwest has definitely been erratic, but not so consistently as to affect production as much as it will. Still people are complaining about prices. Give it 10 years.

Expand full comment

He's going to deport all the labor that picks said fruits and vegetables. The produce will rot in the fields and what actually makes it to market will cost the very earth.

The stuff that's grown in Mexico and South America will have high tariffs slapped on it and will also cost the earth.

If people thought the cost of groceries was high before, just wait.

Expand full comment

Yes, that is what they voted for. Not lowering the cost of anything, too bad they are too stupid to know what they actually voted for.

94,00O Acres of Prime Farmland Buried Under Tulare Lake, CA Two Years Ago Due to Massive Rain Amounts

Note that the original Tulare Lake's water was diverted and drained by people in order to grow crops. This is Mother Nature striking back to reclaim this former body of water.

Without serfs or immigrant laborers, in addition to tariffs they’ll soon find out Ellen!

Anyone who lies as much as Trump obviously cares only about themselves.

Dying would be the best he could do for the US.

Not really because we will be left with JD who is puppeteered by Musk and Thiel. They are the evil stepbros.

JD scares me more than the Orange Guy does because he's smarter. And younger (he'll live longer, probably).

Yep. They’re already talking about & looking forward to 8 years of Vance. Makes me want to vomit.

Yes and we cannot listen to “them”. Stay away from mainstream media. They have sold us out by bending over backwards to Mein Führer!

Maybe he'll get "Luigied" for being so stupid/evil. We could tell the MAGAs he killed Tangeranus so he could take over. They'll do the rest.

The orange fuckface is on a rampage that is going to spread like wildfire. His repulsive picks for cabinet are all tools to ruin and destroy anything that benefits the actual people of this country. It’s predictable that the morons won’t even notice that their rights and benefits have been trampled by these shitheads because they will be told a fantastical story about how the left did it. They will be told by the prostrate media that the anus faced president is doing everything to help them while he shits all over us.

Again, welcome to the Amerikkkan Dark Age.

Trump has never done anything for anybody, so he sure as heck won't start now. Besides, he isn't going to be a giver, but a taker. That's why he ran again. First thing he'll take is our health insurance and social security.

Looking for him to have a lethal stroke from all the crap he consumes. Soon.

From your device to Her ears.

I think Ann Selzer resigned/retired from polling after the election, probably anticipating this shit storm was going to come her way sooner or later, I guess we are at sooner. I hope they throw it out right away. Plus every protestation is an admission of guilt, so maybe DOJ could focus on Iowa and why her polling was so far off when it's historically been so accurate for the last 14 election cycles....that's the only reason trump even cares about a small town pollster result, because she's always been right.

1. Last time I checked no one is interfering with Donny’s right to be a veritable fuckwit. What a long strange trip this is going to be.

If DesMoines Register&Ann Selzer start a Go Fund Me, I will contribute.

I will, too, but only if they use the money to fight this ridiculous set of lawsuits. In fact, if they do fight, I'll subscribe. But if they roll over and pay him, they can close the paper for all I care.

Agree completely

I'm with you--if the Des Moines Register continues to print the truth and doesn't bend for Braindead Donny, I'll subscribe to them, too.

Another bullshit lawsuit that demented anus lips should lose. Funny how Odd job II spews his nonsense about the Constitution when all his fuckface mob boss wants to do is continue to defy it and burn it up. Kudos to Judge Merchan for holding his ground and refusing to back down. Merchan is another one who might need a Go Fund Me for him and his family to get the hell out Dodge if he were to put dear leader where he belongs.

Same!

Thankfully, the Des Moines Register doesn't seem to be quite as prepared to bend over and pull up their shirt tails for Braindead Donny as ABC/Disney was.

I’m wondering who pays his legal fees when a trump president sues someone. Us?

In other news the democratic party is busy fucking over the next generation of leaders! Nancy Pelosi is busy opposing AOC for the position of ranking member of the oversight committee. Because Nancy and Nancy alone knows what's best for us, and what's best for us is another old white guy.

Yes, the country is crying for the youth. Maxwell Frost, David Hoag, etc. Nancy needs to retire now that she's recovering from her broken hip. I wish her well, but damn....step aside!!

Exactly, Linda. My mom always said that you could tell that women's shoes were designed by men who hated women.

Did they play a role in her fall? She broke her hip! I probably would fall and break mine too if I teetered around in those things. She's tiny and fine-boned and with her frame and at her age, she was certainly at risk of breaking her hip. I'm younger than she is and I no longer wear heels like that. These boots are made for walking!

Expand full comment

My feet, at 70 yrs, are still shaped like normal feet--which may not be true for women who have worn the sky-high heels for most of their professional life. Indeed, habitually wearing such high heel shortens the Achilles tendons until it is painful to to stand flat footed.

I was in retail for most of my working life and saw so many women standing on those tiled cement floors in 4 inch heels...and now when I see the bunioned, deformed feet of those same women, I am thankful I treasured comfort above fashion.

Expand full comment

My working life was all in retail, too--and there were "dress codes"--even for heel height! We were not allowed anything over 2"--so grateful for that. Wow. Good luck trying that shit now!
