    We are NOT in a better situation with this asshat in office. That’s how I judge, we are worse off.

    Trump is awful, but look out for much worse in the near future if the establishment doesn't get its act together and stop doing the bidding of billionaires. You keep acting like Trump is the origin of all our issues, he definitely isn't. Voting for another corporate Democrat would have been a temporary band-aid on a much larger infection.

    No, I most assuredly do not.
    A very welcome band-aid which would prevent a lot of death, pain, suffering, and regression when compared to Trump.

    I'm sorry, but this is turning out exactly as I feared. The only satisfaction I can get at all is that I am on the record as voting against this shit as strongly as possible.

    Whether it happens now or later, it was going to happen. Trump now is worse than Trump in his first term. Face the music. It WILL get worse. How we rebound from that is what matters. Right now, I don't have any faith that the Democratic party is meeting the moment and are on the cusp of losing this country as we know it.

    Voting for a band-aid is going to allow things to metastasize into something much worse later.

    That's what people like you said in his first term. It can and it will get worse.

    And ain't no Pete Buttigeg or Chuck Schumer going to change that.

    I'm sorry but that's just false. This is exactly what I was concerned about his first term, and why we needed to get his ass out of there and keep him out.

    I've never advocated for either Pete or Chuck.

    And did the Democrats do an admirable job of keeping him out or not?


    Excuse me for being facetious. The specific candidate is kind of irrelevant. It's the neo-liberal system that has lead us down this path.

    They did not. Which was also my concern.

    I gotcha, and I agree with that. But I don't agree with doing anything by action which would go further toward putting a person like Trump in power.

    Members of JD Vance's family choose to let their 12-year-old die rather than give her flu vaccine.

    Adaline Deal needs a life-saving heart transplant due to rare defect — but her MAGA parents refuse to give her vaccine necessary before operation.

    Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio requires patients to be vaccinated against preventable diseases because transplant recipients take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent organ rejection — which makes them extremely vulnerable to infections.

    Adaline Deal is the sister-in-law of Vice President JD Vance’s sister, Chelsea Deal.

    This is an interview with her parents — who are working closely with the pro-Trump antivaccine group "Ohio Advocates for Medical Freedom."

    This interview tries to argue that parents have the "religious freedom" to let their kids die from disease.

    Tomorrow: Trump declares 500% tariffs on encyclopedias.

    Or maybe just Encyclopædias.
