@Commoncents44th@SaysHummingbird The arc of his presidency will be no different from the repeated dying quail pattern and arc of his business failures and life-- one fat failure after another. It will end in tragedy with a pathetic loser whimper and, sorry BooBoo, no bang.
Let's keep the focus on working families, and the backwards priorities of a Republican trifecta that is doing anything but helping them.
Life is harder and more expensive under Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress, yet they refuse to do the things that would help families make ends meet.
That is a choice.
Remember in November.

If this doesn’t look like corruption, what does?
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump bought into a company pursuing a tungsten mine in Kazakhstan.
Six days later, that company won the mining rights.
Before the deal, President Trump personally called Kazakhstan’s president. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pushed the Kazakh government to back the U.S.-supported company. Now the project is eligible for up to $1.6 billion in U.S. government financing.
Then there’s another conflict.
Lutnick’s sons run Cantor Fitzgerald. The firm helped a lead investor in the project raise $210 million, the kind of deal that generates millions in investment banking fees.
No one can honestly say this passes the smell test.
The President’s family had a financial stake. The Commerce Secretary’s family had a financial connection. The administration used the weight of the U.S. government to support the same project. And taxpayers could end up financing it.
Maybe there’s an innocent explanation.
The American people deserve to hear it.

Social Security, the ONLY "solvent" agency in the American gov't began during the Great Depression by FDR to ensure that the elderly would be able to live out their lives with "dignity". It is NOT something given freely, for EVERY recipient has paid into the system.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that trump's sad, pathetic fair lightly attended by dozens was DWARFED in size by the massive protests against him this weekend.
America is rejecting you, Sleepy Don.
Stick THAT in your diaper, you jackass.
Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that the corrupt Clarence Thomas is everything that is wrong with the Supreme Court, and the MAIN reason we need term limits and expanded court.
Flip the House & Senate.
INVESTIGATE THOMAS.
A big fat “ F’ off” to Mike Johnson. Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements!
We had no choice but to pay into the system. 50 years or more for many of us. every single paycheck we got was taxed for Social Security and Medicare. Every side hustle was claimed as self- employment and taxes paid for Social Security and Medicare.
Vacations not taken, luxuries bypassed, while Washington lived high on the hog with our money. So all y’all can just go eat worm dirt for all I care. Washington better find a way to fix it without cutting our Social Security and Medicare!! I retired early on disability, but my husband is 70 years old and still working and paying into the system that is abused by those dirtbags in Washington. Get rid of the income cap for social security. That would go a long way toward making the system solvent.
@mmpadellan Tax the rich, they should be paying taxes too.
Social Security belongs to those who paid into it their entire working life. It's not there for the greedy.

@mmpadellan@OccupyDemocrats The bots in the comments defending getting rid of SS is telling. People who paid into it all their lives want their money. I'm sure that includes all Americans.
@mmpadellan Trump puppets would rather raise your retirement age than raise taxes on billionaires who pay the same SS rate as middle‑class workers. That’s the scam.
We can keep Social Security strong by asking the wealthy to pay more, not by cutting what you earned. #HandsOffSocialSecurity
@mmpadellan How out of touch can you get? Speaker Johnson admitted he plans to cut Social Security during a public interview. He thought nobody would hold him accountable. We will in November. #HandsOffSocialSecurity
