God our country sucks. And you all are great (Ignore Mark below - he's got his knickers in a knot, sorry, I like "sexy patriot" and how the hell else do you describe what a mess our country is without "fuck" or other profanity?) because you tell it like it is, warts, feathers and all.

The more profanity the better it describes exactly what's happening!

I couldn’t watch it. Nope! I’m hearing the highlights from it and that’s all I can stomach. I opened a bottle of wine put my earphones in and listened to classic rock

Mark Warner can fuck off into the sun. Why?

1. Border crossing dropped 75% in 2024, before the election.

2. The unstated assumption that border crossings are bad.

3. Trying to throw out "something good" for trump just makes you a nazi collaborator.

4. A president who incited a coup attempt 4 years ago should not "get his due".

And, when someone from Minnesota (DNC Chair) tells you to "go to hell", that really means FU in any other state.

Please use your words, but name calling is STUPID. Al Green did great. Get over yourself. I can speak my truth here, just as you can, but fighting isn't the way. Thank you. And, no, it makes me puke to listen to his lies, but read a lot of recaps. I like the resist, also. No time to sit quiet, just like the people, they need to be loud and proud. :)

More like Al Green please. Time to push back. And he’s right. There was no mandate to slash Medicaid, bring in Musk to dig around in our personal business.

They're intentional deconstruction of the government computer systems gives them plausible deniability in the name of ' waste, fraud & abuse' if a foreign actor gets into the system and does something like stealing Social Security, wiping out peoples work history etc.... With the lack of interest in fending off Russian cyberwarfare and such they are opening the gates assisting anyone to come in and finish off destroying the government that they will not. They are just keeping it open enough for someone else to finish the job.

I'm disappointed in you Adam; praising Rep. Melanie Stansbury for holding a sign. That, and the rest of the democrats holding up little signs like they're bidding at an auction. What a fucking joke. "Don't you cut social security, or I'll hold up another sign. That will show you!"

If they don't start making some noise - we're fucked!

Thanks for all the work you're doing to stay on top of this crisis. Re: Note 12. Until recently there was a manufacturer of fasteners for, among other things, spacecraft. Niche market. The plant burned to the ground recently (oops, sorry about the toxic fumes all our poisonous manufacturing chemicals released into the air--just keep holding your breath for a while). This very old business, that started out making railroad switches, was taken over twice by bigger companies. One of those companies disbanded the fire fighting squad composed of volunteers from the workforce. And the fire suppression system was offline, being repaired. Seems that there were multiple fires in the plant over the years that the neighbors knew nothing about in this densely populated suburban neighborhood. Anyway, those specialty fasteners might have been useful if you're planning to put together a spacecraft sturdy enough to make it to Mars. Maybe there's a reason for government safety oversight of manufacturing plants?? Seems like somebody's going to get a big tax right off, and the community loses a bunch of jobs and is stuck with a toxic waste pile. And the nearly 70+ volunteer fire companies that battled the blaze for days are now asking the community for donations to recoup lost equipment. Seems like the company should foot that bill, the one that disbanded the internal fire fighting team. Hmm, see a theme here? Big Business cuts corners, makes money for investors, walks away from problems, disposes of employees, and gets a tax write off.

I have an idea: how about we take the money trump wants to spend to go to Mars and use it to fix the planet we have?

Thank you for citing all your sources. I am beyond thankful that you guys are keeping an eye on what's going on outside this currently dismal excuse of a democratic country. It's always a good idea to know how the outside world sees us - gives us clearer view of reality.

I have an idea: why don't we take the money Trump wants to use to go the Mars and fix the planet we already have?

More democrats cave. Do they care about the health of our democracy or not? I still do not understand how democrats can continue to do this. I guess Trump Inc has them sized up as not a threat to him or his enablers.

I am thinking a lot of Good Ole boys saying they are Democrat are just in the same Manosphere, white males are the only ones capable, so this is their only choice. Puke. Thank you Ed Green, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett. Sure didn't see my D Oregon Peeps doing anything. Sad. I want to hear them ROAR. BY THE PEOPLE. FOR THE PEOPLE. KEEP RISING. MARCH. BOYCOTT. STAND UP. GO TEAM.

The grand finale of Comrade Donald's dementia addled ramble was that he isn't satisfied with wanting to be a dictator, he now wants to be an emperor. He will be the guy in the corner of the care home wearing the Napoleon suit spouting off about how his best days are coming while the staff change his nappy. That can't be too far away given his display yesterday. We live in hope

Fuck Trump. Fuck Musk. Fuck all Republicans. They should all get on a plane and have Luigi fly the fucking thing.

I did not watch that fucking garbage last night. I heard one fucking comment from one alert from instagram when the orange fucking shit stain was blaming Biden and I almost fucking threw up in my mouth.

I thought the fucking brain worm had caved in the vaccine? I guess not…fucking piece of shit.

RIP Rep. Turner. Sad to hear about that.

I opted for reruns of King of Queens instead of the shit show because almost every station was broadcasting it!!! I have to admit I do watch that on other nights too sometimes because I need mindless nothingness before I go to sleep these days to avoid nightmares, which I often now end up with anyway if I am still able to sleep. I don't think I'm the only person having these troubles sleeping. Ugh.
