Me on the left at all of 17 years old finishing up boot camp. It was then on to "A" school In Mississippi, and then to the island of Adak in the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Russia. I would finish my hitch on the USS Jason AR8. Happy Veterans Day to all that proudly served!
If I lived 50 miles South of the imaginary line we call a border, and I had no work, my family was hungry, my town decimated by the presence of Cartels and gang members, I would head North in search of something better. These are human beings, and each and everyone has a story.
Stock Market closed at a record high today and The Fed is talking about interest rate cuts in the new year. Gas here is going for $2.50 a gallon. Tell me again how Bidenomics is a failure?
Denver to Minneapolis in the morning to bury my friend of 53 years. He was awesome and though we weren't blood, he was my brother. Prayers or positive energy for a safe trip would be appreciated. Somewhere he's riding his Harley and the weather is perfect. Ride on my brother. ❤️
I grew up the son of a military officer, during the Cold War. The Russians have had an agenda since the days of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin and The Cuban Missile Crisis. Trump is a Russian asset, and Flynn or "Q" is a Russian operative. Putin is former GRU/KGB. Get the picture?
Good morning resisters! About 400 followers short of 5,000, and IFB all serious resisters. Any help would be appreciated. With the elections coming up I like to share my views and I'm committed to preserving our democracy, women's rights, and a progressive agenda. Thank you! 🙏
Why's Jack Teixeira, 21 year old boy/man-soldier that stole classifieds docs and shared them with his chat room friends, sitting in a max security jail with no bail, but Trump who stole classified docs and shared them with random people, is free to tell lies at campaign rallies?
Trump shared secrets on our nuclear submarine program, invasion plans for Iran, & via Kushner received 2 billion from the Saudis. What was the money for and where's it at? Then there's the classified documents. The man has Americans at one another's throat s. How much is enough?
Colorado and Maine have taken Trump off the ballot. Guess it will come down to SCOTUS. I don't know how anyone could say the bozo wasn't involved in the insurrection. They must be a special kind of stupid. TFG has no business anywhere near the Oval Office and the nuclear codes.
@Mamamia1151
You're joking right? Manchin is owned by the coal and fossil fuel industries. He's done everything he can to derail Democratic policies, holding legislation hostage. So no, hell no!
@William02216755
Do you have a particular citation? Like to read up on what you're referring to. 2 billion to Kushner for alleged investments in a non existent investment company comes into play here. I'm sure the Saudis consider Trump a buffoon. Never did a damn thing for justice for Khashoggi.

Stephan Hawking said the earth had 100 to 500 years before it became uninhabitable. Storms and tornadoes more frequent, more devastating. In South Florida with water temps in the 90's the coral's dying. Hurricanes could be severe because of the warmer waters. This isn't good.
One problem with the GOP base is the fact they're uneducated. 50% of Democrats have a college education, compared to 31% of Republicans, a huge disparity. It's because educated women (a majority of graduates), vote Democrat. This is why Rethugs want women barefoot and pregnant.
Do you think the reason why Trump refuses to debate is the fact he reads off the teleprompter like a 1st grader with a Dick and Jane reader, or is it his propensity to tell lies and say stupid sh+t?
Proud to be a resident of Colorado. We are inclusive, down to earth folks that know a huckster when we see one. Trump the toxic PT Barnum of politics and insurrectionist Russian pawn has no place on the ballot in any state. He can save his anti American hate filled rhetoric!
Over 1000 January 6th protesters arrested. 500 have been tried, convicted and many imprisoned. There is no way the government prosecutes these people and let's Trump and the dozens of Congressmen/women involved go free. Send each and every person involved in the coup to prison!
@Jim59620435
It's a commodity and there's many factors that determine the price of fuel, including a lot of politics. Repugs blame the fact the administration doesn't want to drill in a particular location or the administrations environmental concerns for a pipeline, for higher fuel cost.
Wow my post this morning about Chesebro's plea bargain really brought out the MAGA idiots, complete with all the requisite threats and name calling. I'm blown away at just how rabid some of these crazies come off. It's all good, I don't scare easy 😝
I asked for help getting to 5000 today and got a lot closer to 6000. I want everyone to know just how much I appreciate the follows, and I will follow everyone back. Now Twitter has regulated me, not letting me follow for 3 days because I supposedly followed too many people. ????
Ladies are you going to tolerate men telling women what they can and cannot do in regards to reproductive health? Ken Paxton and the Texas Supreme Court shouldn't be dictating Kate Cox's decision where her health and the health of her baby are concerned. So important to VOTE BLUE

I remember hitchhiking through Arizona in 1974. I hadn't eaten in a few days. A migrant worker gave me a ride. A couple miles down the road he handed me tortillas and a thermos of beans. Here this man with little, gave what he had. I've never forgotten the kindness.

Highly doubt Trump has ever cracked a Bible. He couldn't name the books of the Torah or differentiate between books of the old and new testament. He scorns Christianity and the Evangelicals. Why lay hands on and support a false prophet, a man that believes he's the second coming?
Why hasn't Greg Abbott been arrested for human trafficking? Abbott badmouths the President at every turn, but watch him come begging with both hands out for federal disaster funding due to the huge fires burning out of control. Wanna secede? Now would be a great time Greg. Later!
Did you know Trump was sued 4,095 times BEFORE he became president? The guy that cries about the courts being Weaponized has always manipulated the legal system for various purposes. Mostly to screw others out of their money.

@blue69eldorado
January 6th indictments are coming. Trump won't be the last politician facing criminal charges. Greene, Boebert, Biggs and many more are going down!
Another Trump codefendant, attorney Kenneth Chesebro has pled guilty in Georgia election tampering case. You know TFG is starting to panic! These pleas are given to those that have substantial assistance to provide to prosecutors. The dirtbag is going down! F+ck MAGA-f+ck Trump!
@joncoopertweets

Good can they expel a few other GOP representatives while they're at it? Boebert, Taylor Greene, Biggs, Gosar, Gaetz, Blackburn? Today's GOP is a disgrace to the American political process!

@RonnyJacksonTX
I'm a Navy Vet and if this man has mutinied against his country it would disqualify him for a military pension. If he was indeed involved on January 6th (I have no doubt) that would disqualify him to hold office. A judge just established precedent in New Mexico. What's up Texas?

Toxic masculinity? Daddy, Junior and Eric are far from masculine. These are sheltered, silver spoon fed men that would fold instantly if they were to face any real danger. Easy to be a tough guy when you're surrounded by taxpayer funded bodyguards. Masculine? Don't think so.
I'll never forget Senator McCains Thumb down vote on Trump's attempt to derail the Affordable Care Act. Senator McCain was an honorable man. You won't find honor in today's GOP.
Who'd buy into Republican nonsense about January 6th? With Johnson releasing propaganda video these GOP sick f+cks are trying to play it like a Sunday outing. I've got eyes. I saw the violence. Don't bullshit me! This was January 6th!!!! ⤵️
@MajorFactor2
Yes you mess with the immigrants you lose that cheap labor. Immigrants do all the thankless jobs Americans don't want to do. When people sit down to eat at night and say Grace they should be thankful for the hard working immigrants in the fields and meat packing plants!
So Hamas just happens to find a way around Israel's Iron Dome, while compromising border security. And Jared "Judas" Kushner received 2 billion from the Saudi prince for what exactly? Certainly it wasn't restitution for the Khashoggi murder TFG so conveniently overlooked .
@AZ_Sycamore
@Susanarosanada2
I think the Court should be apolitical. There has to be a way to insure these justices are more than political appointees. Currently the Court's compromised. Alito & Thomas, bought and paid for. SCOTUS was intended to function as a system of checks and balances. Not happening!

@Sainted420
It's a fact that homes with guns have much higher rates of homicide and suicide. This is a tragedy. This baby was obviously distraught, and this man will live with second guessing himself for the rest of his life. Please when it comes to kids and guns be very careful.
Don't listen to all the noise , or take in the distractions of MAGA. We need to mobilize and get out the blue vote. We need to have registration drives, get out the women's vote, the youth vote, as well as Black and Latino voters. We have the numbers. We can do this. Please vote.
Ever notice the people MAGA appeals to? It's all the people that feel like their lack of success must be somebody else's fault. They stereotype, finger point, label and blame, but never talk negotiation, compromise, or solutions. MAGA is FASCIST! MAGA is un American.
Let me see the 💙s and ☠️s from my
#RideOrDieDemocrats
💙☠️🇺🇸 that are voting for President Joe Biden in 24'!!! We vote and we win!! To hell with Joe Manchin! To hell with Jill Stein!! To hell with RFK, jr.!!!
As I'm scrolling thru today I've noticed an inordinate amount of post trying to convince folks what a good Christian TFG is and how he walks with Jesus. I felt compelled to tell folks to avoid standing too close to Trump cause that motherf+cker is going to spontaneously combust!
When considering Trumps victory in Iowa, consider that ONLY 100,000 voted. That's about as many people as a college football game or a stadium concert. Half voted for Trump, still believing the election was stolen, and that he should take office even if convicted. This is a CULT.
@PacoTyler1
Good points. Yes in my travels I have found Americans don't get just how fortunate they are. Gas prices have been much more costly throughout the world for decades.
IFB all serious resisters. I am a Dem and I believe in progressive policies with an end goal of a better world for all. I believe in negotiation and solutions. With the 2024 elections coming I want to share my opinions with a broad base. Please consider giving me a follow. Thanks
Whoever would have thought that the Democrats would be the Party that took a stand against Russian interference in our National affairs, as well as the Party that stood strong against fascism. If you love our country vote for the freedom Party, vote Democrats!
#ResistanceUnited
I'm an ex smoker and why are cigarettes legal? Cigarettes contribute directly to a half million deaths annually. Then there's the excessive drag on our healthcare system and the cost associated. How is it okay to continue to sell this product? It's all about $$$ over people!!
The President showed that leadership today with his call to Governor DeSatan assuring him the Federal government would be there for the people of Florida. FEMA teams and their assets have been prestaged and are ready to assist.
Mike Johnson is a worm. I'd like to see that smug smirk wiped off his wimpy little face. Does the truth hurt Mike? The President looking presidential! Glad to see President Biden telling it like it is! Proud to be a patriot. Proud to be an American.
@TTuberville
@Ricka168
You're talking about the President of the United States you disrespectful hick. Big talk from a guy that held up military commissions affecting our fighting forces readiness. The United Stated is not Alabama and you really need to watch your hillbilly mouth.
Says a lot when those NOT ENDORSING Trump in 2024 are his former secretary of state and CIA director, Mike Pompeo; former defense secretary, Pat Shanahan; AG Bill Barr, chief of staff, John Kelly; and two of his directors of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire and Dan Coats.
@Bright11Rick
30 eggs at King Soopers for under $3, and 18 eggs for $1.85. Biden omelettes work for me. Say turkeys are down 6% on average this year. I guess they marked canned cranberries way up, but that doesn't hurt my feelings. Have a good weekend.
@academic_la
Bombing Gaza into oblivion is not going to warm a lot of hearts. When children witness violent death and experience loss of their homes, they're not going to grow up feeling warm and fuzzy about Israel. One of these days the people of the world will say enough to war.
Dog whistles. Trump is howling about the blood of Americans being poisoned, about liberal "vermin." He vows retribution against political enemies & the media, claiming he'll be dictator for a day, while praising Putin. Don't let the day come when we say "we should have known."
@ArtbyAthena1
My family, has served in every American conflict dating back to the Civil War, and for those of us still around, including my Dad that did 3 tours in Nam, not one of us (yes I'm a veteran), believe that assault weapons belong in the hands of civilians. Not one.
@KatTheHammer1
Mean the lady that was shot while crawling through broken windows to the Congressional Chamber? You participate in a coup getting shot is a possibility. While I feel for her family and loved ones, the blame for her death falls 100% on her. It's all about personal accountability.
So fentanyl is being mailed to election offices across the Nation. WTF!!! Can our society get any sicker? These are the actions of a genuine coward. When did life become so cheap?
MAGATS are going to push good people too far. These fascist can only push so far before good Americans will rise up against their tyranny. You can't take a freedom loving people and impose your fanaticism. You can't take 60 years of change and roll it back. We will be victorious!
I appreciate all the resistance folks for helping me get over 5,000 today. Thank you so much! The Twitter Gods are telling me I've reached my follow limit for the day, but I will follow back everyone that follows me just as soon as I can. Thanks again all 💙💙
@OccupyDemocrats
This is great news. Bobo the GED Grandma is a joke, and the GOP Party in Colorado led by former Governor Bill Owens want this hoochie gone. She is not representative of Colorado values in the least.
Is anyone else concerned that some of these Trump "issues" will be decided by a Supreme Court compromised by cash and gifts from GOP super donors? Checks and balances my ass!
@thejackhopkins
@FaitsDebbie
He's a traitor and definitely a Russian asset. I want to see this sorry man in a cage in chains. We could have him pulled by horseback from town to town to show people what happens when you betray your country!
If SCOTUS should grant Trump immunity, I think we should stage National strikes and demand the resignation of the Justices. I'm tired of Trump's antics and enough is enough, and we the people don't have to accept the rulings of a corrupt Court! No more Mister Nice Guy.
#LockHimUp
I want to have a National referendum on the Electoral College. Let the voters decide. A Republican has won the popular vote exactly once in over 30 years. Imagine no Bush in 2000, no Trump in 2016. F+ck the Electoral College.
As a Veteran my respect to the Commander in Chief, in Rhode Island today to receive the bodies of the soldiers killed at Tower 22. The President will meet personally with the families of the soldiers. A salute to heroes Sergeant Rivers, and Specialists Moffett and Sanderson.
Another mass casualty shooting in Lewiston Maine. Preliminary reports have 16 dead and 50-60 people injured. There was a children's bowling event happening at one of 3 shooting locations. When will people take priority over profit? Citizens deserve safety. Cowardly legislators!
I'm so over Trump's victim mentality. He's a crazy old coot and I wouldn't give him a job at Taco Bell, much less as President. When are his supporters going to have enough heart to admit they made a mistake? The day he's gone America will be greater again.
@ShawnieP0324
You know anything positive for our Democratic reps must be rigged 😝. I still don't understand what his cult members see in his looney ass!
Time to let Americans decide! Scrap the Electoral College. Give the people the vote on every issue. GOP has won popular vote for the presidency ONCE in the last 32 years. Take power out of the hands of lobbyists and special interests. Congress has failed, let Americans decide!
@Mollyploofkins
If the evidence is insurmountable Santos would likely take a plea. I do know the Feds don't play. They don't indict unless they have a rock solid case. If Santos gets time, Trump better damn well end up behind bars too.
@theerougarou
@ashleighlondon
BBC credible source. It's common knowledge Trump's in bed with the Russians. There was the meeting with Putin where TFG excused his interpreter, and his constant praise of Putin. Then there was his appeal to the Russians for Senator Clinton's emails. Trump has no loyalties. None.
@politvidchannel
As it should be. Indict every politician that asked Trump for a blanket pardon for their actions on January 6th. Then you have the likes of Boebert, she gave "tours," and tweeted the play by play, along with Speaker's location on January 6th. I want to SMASH this MAGA movement!
@marlene4719
Marlene he's not even close to being like "us." He's never had to sweat the mortgage or putting food on the table, or worried about school clothes or Christmas presents. Never cooked a meal, done a load of laundry or mowed the lawn or had a paper route. He's nothing like us.
By Nancy Mace's logic a rapist isn't a rapist unless they're convicted in criminal court. Her words. She never reported her alleged rape. So does this mean it didn't happen? She continues to support a serial sex offender for president. Let me apologize to the women she demeans.

@BlessedTXvet
I grew up in Southern California, and seen the plight of the migrant farm workers working the flower and agricultural farms. These people lived in the fields and cooked over camp fires. Hard workers! You wouldn't see an American citizen picking melons in 110 degree desert heat.
A member of Congress may be expelled for disorderly behavior if 2/3 of Congress vote to expell. I want to see Marjorie Taylor-Greene expelled. She's been a absolute impediment to the functioning of Congress. I want Capital Hill Karen gone.

Bye bye insurrectionist. You crybabies had no problems assaulting police officers and destroying public property. Guess you'll see just how tough you are now. Coward.
So now that the DOJ has indicted Hunter Biden on 9 more charges (3 of them felonies), I don't want to hear another f+cking word from these MAGA morons about a weaponized DOJ. If they can indict Hunter, they need to get busy investigating that vampire Kushner and his mousy wife.
Trump's crying about being muzzled & ask why he can't speak out. He lies, threatens, he sics his crazy cult members on people. He loves to muddy the waters. He's violated the gag order time after time. His wealthy white privilege is evident. The guy's a world class whiner.
Trump expends $90,000 daily in legal fees. Almost 100% of this money comes from campaign donations. That's 90K a day! Majority of Trump donors don't make that kind of money in a year. How is it legal to spend campaign contributions on personal legal fees? And the grift goes on.
President Biden inherited the Big Lie. Since then he created 13 million jobs with unemployment at a 50 year low. He passed the first major gun legislation in 30 years, The Inflation Reduction Act with major environmental impact and Medicare now negotiates for life saving drugs.
In construction some people get paid for work completed. This is called piece work. I think we should pay politicians accordingly. Write legislation get paid. Vote get paid, pass legislation get paid. Fine for obstruction, with pay prorated for vacations and missed votes.
