Religion primes people to accept things with no proof and that’s at least half the reason we’re in this mess.

Let’s have the reality show where an immigrant goes up against Republican legislator. The winner would get US citizenship and the loser would be deported.

Let’s start recall of all Republican legislators. If nothing else, it will get their attention that they might lose their own job.

2024 WTTW Chicago Public TV article on Illinois' biggest Republican political donors:


“…Trump’s Top Donors

With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trump’s reelection bid —  though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon.

The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir.

The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).”

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

Great idea if they can get it done, transparency…

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said he’d introduce a bill requiring retailers to display any rise in cost on products caused by Trump’s tariffs. Senator Schumer (D-N.Y.) is planning to introduce the “Truth in Tariffs Act”.

There are only a few ways we bring Trump to an end:

1) Sniveling Republicans get a spine and impeach and removes him

2) we recall all Republicans. Currently in office

3) storm the White House

Take your pick.

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

This morning, news broke that Amazon would start displaying how much an item's cost increased because of Trump's tariffs.

Then, Trump threw a fit — and Amazon backed down.

Pathetic.

It doesn't matter how much money you have, class can't be taught. His suits fit horribly and when everyone is wearing black you don't wear blue and nodding off is classless.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

Trump tariffs spare Russia and North Korea, but target Israel A bizarre formula, some strange inclusions and exclusions, and some allies who sought to avoid the tariffs left in the lurch.
