When figures come out about jobs why doesn't anyone reporting use the WARN lists? It's the only comprehensive record of jobs lost and businesses closing. Up to July if 2025 from January of 25 there were 1 million jobs lost. Look it up and it even lists individual states. That figure is on par with COVID!

As shown by the October 18 “NO KINGS” demonstrations, and confirmed by current approve/disapprove rankings, it is a fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s presidency.

On Black Friday, this majority will begin an economic boycott of the Trump Administration, it’s Billionaire Oligarchs, and the corporations that lobbied for and received massive tax cuts paid for by destroying the lives of working Americans. The boycott will continue until Trump is impeached and removed from office.

I’m convinced the cultimate reason people have a need to worship is guys like Trump and killing off of the other tribe. If you didn’t kiss the ring you were killed. I made this observation when I was 12 or so. I feel sorry for magas but their utter stupidity and knowing support of evil absolutely disgusts me.

After the first Trump administration I had the idea to write a book about the trail of broken bones he left but I’m not a writer. So I will give you the title of my book for free because you are capturing the things his wrecking ball is doing to America. Call the Book “FUCKED” but you will have to disguise the word due the the right losing its fucking mind over the title so I suggest F****D Its a compendium of news articles, statements by politicians and the voter base and everyday people jsut trying to get by living with all the fucked up shit Trump and his cronies are doing to this Country.

And now - soon - those small businesses who want to provide health insurance for their employees, are caught in a giant crunch. Insurance premiums have doubled, they either provide and go bankrupt or don’t provide and lose valuable people. What a shit storm this regime is. Release the Epstein files!! Dismantle this regime like the East Wing.

All brilliantly true. The word "doomed" springs to mind.

There are about 77 million “special kinds of stupid” here. We’re surrounded by them.

I think there is an argument to be made that government [ and not only in the US] really needs to be smaller from the perspective that the US is has far too large to be ruled by a minority with a history that's dedicated to the racket, wasting taxpayers funds /accumulating debt in order to enrich themselves, In the end that means secession's because A there's no accountability and B they'll never get it right anyway.

Who are freeloaders to you?? The guys who’ve lined up for ICE maybe? Trumps family?

You’ve made your point & it’s valid.

Now where’s your compassion for those who are legitimately financially fucked & just need a hand UP?

Are you referring to the gas and oil companies that receive government handouts every year instead of putting the money to develop rail transportation or other public transportation? Do you mean the coal industry that is a key polluter? Do you mean companies, including Walmart, Target, Home Depot, that put local merchants out of business and pay low wages so that their employees need to apply for public assistance? I could go on but I suspect I am responding to a wall.
