"Today, DNC Chair Ken Martin announced the launch of the “People’s Cabinet,” a new project from the DNC that will leverage a deep bench of qualified policy experts, national and local leaders, as well as community voices who – all working together – will cut through the lies and speak directly to the American people about the reality of the Trump administration’s reckless and dangerous agenda."

"#Democrats" are neither fact checkers nor resistance fighters.

Their concept of "resistance" is to hibernate: they rally people only to have themselves cheered at, and photographed in front of a crowd; to tell people to vote for them, "next time"; and then, to send everybody home, with a warm, fuzzy feeling of having just witnessed a rebellious act.

The "Democrat" idea of citizenship is people watching TV, giving all thumbs up for a guy because he can speak for 25h, but doesn't change anything, in practice.

It's the ordinary people who will do what it takes to save the day, not this rotting carcass of a so-called "party".

For those who want an old guy's opinion on the Tariff "tumult"...

the tariffs that President Trump announced just after markets closed on Wednesday, triggered the fifth-largest point drop in the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Thursday — with further massive losses underway today — are bigger than Smoot-Hawley."
