    I find it interesting that "we" are the ones charged with protecting ourselves from misinformation. 


    Most people in this country are busy trying to put food on the table & keep a roof over their head. They don't have time to sift through the steaming piles of sh*t to find the fact checked nuggets of truth. 

    News outlets have a responsibility to report facts. Not spin and definitely not outright lies! 

    We've had 3 1/2 years since the last election. Congress, what have you done to ensure:

     

    -the American public's news sources report facts?

    -no election interference from hostile foreign agents?

    -misinformation & lies are swiftly & publicly corrected?

    - news outlets that engage in knowingly spreading misinformation & lies are dismantled/stopped/held accountable ?

     

    Tick, tick, tick!

    I find that the republicans are professionals at misinformation, voter fraud and suppressing the vote !!!!!!

    Corporate America is backing republicans to be able to fleece America and avoid taxes, support their greed and cause the collapse of capitalism and democracy.

    ThanYou got military weapons that rely on GPS that can be jam and become useless, Russia war in Ukraine is now showing that!

    You got republicans and Trump rooting for the failure of America, why?

    I'm concerned that stupid people will believe stupid things without any sort of effort on their part to verify what they're being told.

    The problem is not what Trumpists say it is.  There has never been much in the way of election fraud.  In fact, republicans have been the ones who have been charged most with voter fraud I've read about.  The others who have been aggressively prosecuted have been people who voted because they did not understand just how long felony disenfranchisement can last!  

    What is a much bigger problem are republican politicians who have changed the laws concerning voting to make it much harder for minorities to vote!  

    Another example of republican craziness is making it illegal to provide food or water to voters in line for more than 4 hours often in direct sun!  

    I wonder about the humanity of republican politicians...

     Chief Justice John Roberts on Thursday declined to meet with Democratic senators to discuss Supreme Court ethics issues in the wake of reports that controversial flags were flown at Justice Samuel Alito's houses.

    In a letter to Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Roberts said he "must respectfully decline your request for a meeting," citing concerns about maintaining judicial independence

    Does he even understand the meaning of Judicial Independence? 

    shame on Roberts

    shame on all of the 6 upside down justices

    Yes, I am concerned but on this day I am beyond elated that the Orange Menace scumbag has finally been held accountable to some degree.  May this be the first domino...

    Just look at what happened last time and what has been said about the bloodshed that has been promised to the oppositions. Sore losers that cannot accept defeat resort to lies, deceit, rumors, brashness, bullying, and the fear to cast the reasoning behind the loss to be anything other than what it was, a loss. WE have a bull with a bullhorn that continues to toot his own horn to everybody who needs a cause to thwart society into irrational change. 

    A Presidential campaign says much about the character of the person and the people supporting that person. It is not about a personal win for a person on one side or another. How do we want to see the future of our country? As a global leader, a democracy, dictatorship, fearfully submitting to a leader who instills fear in their opposition or one who values citizenship above all. (We stopped teaching this in our public schools so no one is trained in the decency and honor in citizenship in America, except those trying to become citizens.)

    America has lost its way. We have issues to resolves, one being how we resolve issues. A house divided cannot stand and we are a nation divided into multiple factions. The average America receives daily oppressive bullying, negativity, anger, slandering, selfishness, and sensationalism. We are under constant derogatory and non-professionalism by our leaders in, or wanting in, a governmental position. Respect for all is severely lacking and fueling the anger, hate and violence in all aspects of our country, society, communities and homes.

    Our country does need change but by young, vibrant, intelligent, compassionate, honorable and honest leader(s) that do not have a personal agenda for personal gain. A group that inspires all citizens to come together as a united country. We do have some but not enough on the same page to tame a bully.

    If you don't still get chills when you see the American flag furling in the wind or hear your heartbeat when you sing the National anthem then maybe you should consider taking your apathy or dissension to another country.

    Now after all that how many positive attributtes does our country  inspire or unite us all?  How will those be impacted by the election results?

    Becoming a stay-at-home mom and making money didn’t seem like it was possible at first. But after hearing about my best friend’s success (she earns over $10,000 a month), I decided to give it a shot. Fast forward to now: I’m making over $40 per hour working from home, and I couldn’t be happier. If I can do it with two kids, so can you!....

    The ability of a billionaire to buy an election and spend 272 million in disinformation ads to get his candidate elected should be illegal and measures should be taken to stop this.

    Now, all dissenting voices of our elected officials have been threatened by Nazi-Musk. Elected officials are to represent their constituents and uphold the Constitution. 
    I can't believe these actions aren't already illegal. If so he needs to be held accountable- if not, legislation should be passed.

    Allowing nonfederal personnel to access these files personal information of almost every person in the US violates my 4th amendment rights as well as others.

    Republicans gerrymandering and their God forsaken and laws that they think they need to win because really they're not gonna win unless they cheat and they do cheat what they do do is voters suppression but refused to let certain ballots be counted in the 2024 election 3000,000 ballots were not counted 3 million and it was in every single red state whether it was a bomb threats in Georgia or the petition in the Pennsylvania that no matter what people say, Elon Musk paid people to sign a petition, his lawyer even stated so in the court read the document you dumbasses   Tom McClintock should be ashamed of himself. He is a MAGA through and through. He's not working for the people he's working for himself and Trump. He cares for Power. He cares for what he can get out of it. i'm literally literally second by what Republicans have allowed to happen their lawmakers, but they don't care about those laws only laws that restrict human beings from being human beings go to the ballot box we expect our ballot to be counted. We don't expect our ballot to be denied because someone can't sign their name right for whatever medical reason it could be whether they have ID or not. It's becoming Russia a dictator is starting to tell people how to shit how to eat how to go to the doctor and what the doctors decision decisions with their patient is this is an American. This is unjust. I am sick of Republicans thinking they have control over my body, my children's body or who I support but it sickens me to read reports that ballots weren't counted 300% were minorities and blacks in Republican states how do Republicans live with themselves they like the power the money or is it because Elon Musk threatens them that makes him just little man and women

    Im a naturalized US citizen  and I am very concerned that there was fraud against the American people in this election by the people loyal to donald trump. Hes a vengeful man. He will air his grievancea about even a perceived slight. Its in this countrys better interest to investigate and keep this man from ascending to essentially the throne of power. Hes a convicted felon. How was he able to be on the ballot. He openly spoke of a secret about this election. You dont have to share details publicly but I think plans should be laid to bar him from assuming power. He will reign terror on America.

    T rump says he'll prosecute election officials if he's elected. I assume he'll only prosecute registered democrats. Either way I'm sure there are those that have that responsibility and I wouldn't want a president who played sheriff all day. Especially one with his intellect.

    I'm concerned as a democratic voter who  tries to model Christian values.

    There are many issues I have with Trump spiritually, morally, legally and politically.

    However, I cannot support the idea of a person choosing to change their sex based on their feelings and participating as if they were born with that gender. 

    I also have a problem with abortion on demand as a form of birth control or convenience.  A more active and vocal call to consider the damage that is done and what blessing you could abort.

    I believe the candidate running should express what they personally believe and Americans should have a right to choose.  People still need a moral compass's.  

    Democrats do a great job showing compassion and unity but we need to expand the tent.

    The Christian view can be stated by democratic candidates.  Why should Republicans take that banner.  When Trump is replaced by a more tasteful candidate Democrats should worry!!

    A candidate can say, Jesus said, I set before you life and death... but choose life" , when it comes to abortion.
