All this and he’s not even the president yet.

The next year is going to be one of the worst in American history. If we survive it, people better learn the lesson that the rich are the only goddamned enemy of the people in America and always have been.

And Space Nazi was not, and never could be, even a NOMINEE.

Govt. should be a minimum wage job. Congress and representatives should be a starter job. Let’s see what you can do for $15?an hour.

Unfortunately, only the rich could run then.... Wait a minute, that's already happening. Our system is very broken and we have a lot of work to do.

Not sure I see the connection here.

From a British POV the idea of having a system which involves running a government which lurches from one funding crisis to another is inexplicable. Why on earth can’t Congress sort this out? (Don’t worry, it’s a rhetorical question).

…we are an embarrassment.

I’m not going to agree with that as it’s not the fault of folks like you. I’m not sure whose fault it is but I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of Americans would prefer a more rational system.

I believed in the whole revival.”, the “…not going back…the “joy”….i think now there is a disconnect, this sense that the media and the DNC are back to business as usual; 1. give us money, 2. Trumps a danger 3. the sky is falling…(so give us more money)

now I feel that although some of that is true, the left are just playing the same game on the other side…the victims who are so dumb to not know how to fight at this point. Idk…I gave up all news…I think we’re being duped…

Ann Higgins - We the people do not KNOW how to answer your semi-rhetorical question. BUT some people in our Congress DO KNOW HOW to fix this continuing problem. But the dumbasses always shout them down & there are far too many fumbasses. It is TRULY fucked. They give themselves raises though…

I am truly sorry that the US is going through all this - I know that this type of brinkmanship is not unusual but to have Musk putting his oar in must be the bally limit.

I wanted to run away to the UK when I was 16 to start a band…I’m regretting that… thanks for keeping us in mind…I’ve seen some British flags go up when he won satirically referring to his “kingship” now being complete, as he’s brought us all the way back. It’s going to take more than dumping tea in the harbor this time.

It’s a matter of “there for the grace of god” - in July we finally rid ourselves of the RW lot who had been in charge for over a decade and though there are teething problems with the new government it has so many problems to cope with that that is a relief to have sensible people in charge for a change.

It is truly infuriating. This country needs to overturn Citizens (corporations are NOT people, money does NOT equal speech), and reinstate the Fairness Doctrine (Faux News is NOT news, as shown by the 3/4 BILLION judgment in the Dominion Voting Machine case.) Please keep good thoughts for your friends across the pond. ❤️
