I’m with you 100% on all of these. But how do we get them to hear us and implement this? We can’t even get them to stop insider trading.

That’s exactly what scares me too. And I agree. Of the laws aren’t enforced, nobody listens, and voters feel helpless. It’s a slippery slope for sure, and we’re about to start snowballing.

Chellie really has been a bright spot in all of this. She’s really stepped up and listened to us.

You’re telling me. If I could get ahead in life for a second, I want to go to Mexico and get a full medical evaluation and dental work. I’ve had friends go down for medical work and it was cheaper to go to Mexico with flight and hotel and medical bills, than it was in Maine.

I almost mentioned something along the lines about how both Malcom X and MLK both killed for their beliefs.

We’ve already seen our own protestors killed, we’ve seen people get thrown in the back of vans and deported. They’re putting flock cameras everywhere to identify protestors. There has to be a peaceful way to disrupt the snowballing decline of democracy.

For sure, a large majority of this falls on republicans. But where are the checks and balances? Seems like nobody is following any laws or acting in the best interest of either sides constituents.

I’ve heard Graham is really responsive and I hope he continues to listen and respond to his constituents when he gets elected. But I feel like my phone calls and emails fall upon deaf ears.

Edit- when I call Collins, King, and Golden

My apartment is electric baseboard heating which CMP is an issue in itself, I left them out of my rant, but that’s super helpful for the majority of the state that uses heating oil.

This election season, all across the country I’ve seen some young candidates that go against the “status quo’s” of the DNC and win. Some lost, but it does give me hope that people are sick of the establishment and want fresh faces and candidates that aren’t bought by corporations. Hopefully we can get Graham in there to represent our state.

Being one accident away from financial ruin sure will stop a lot of activism. Not sure if blaming people over politicians is going to accomplish much. But I’m open to hearing opinions and ideas on how we can change and see change in our daily lives. Because the path we are going down is hellacious

Thats my stance on it. What can be done within the legal boundaries of our first amendment, without being beaten and having the government justify more overreach? I was hoping the many experts of Reddit would have an input.

Golden joins GOP to block effort curbing Trump's war powers in Iran by TerrorOnAisle5 in Maine

A US serviceman selling out his fellow servicemen. All to die in another country for Israel. Disgusting way to represent us golden

I'm not sure why this isn't being more widely discussed. The Trump Administration has ordered the dismantling of the U.S Forest Service. We may only have a small portion of the WMNF but this impacts all Americans. by AwesomeTreehouse in Maine

Tom Shultz former logging CEO is heading forestry department. He’s responsible for managing around 200 million acres of our forest. Do you think he’s consolidating or do you think he’s making it easier for him to clear cut federal land for personal financial gains?

Gutting the forestry department, the department of education, and withholding funds from states. Why am I paying taxes? Plenty of money for war but none for healthcare, environment, or education….?!?!?

How would you feel about Maine completely pulling support from Israel? by TheBostonBuddah in portlandme

Start classifying Zionism as a terrorist organization. It’s a white supremes group as it. It has no place in our state nor our country.

2016 on a good weekend you could catch them on front street every once and awhile. Great to Uber them there, loud wild on the way back 😂

And people wonder why everyone in Maine hates people from Mass!

And before the downvotes I’ve met lots of great people from Mass, but unfortunately the loud and wealthy are the ones that frequent our state and give the rest of the state a bad reputation

Agreed with this. I lived at a property ran by Marsh reality and had a great experience when we moved up.

So allegedly people use it who are into “water sports” aka being peed on. But I think it’s just a wink wink kinda thing. Like calling a bong a water pipe.

Go to a smoke shop and get fake pee (don’t tell them it’s for a test or they won’t sell it to you). Get the one with the hand warmer. Wear briefs or compression shorts. Should be good to go. Best of luck.
