PLEASE read the outstanding article "One word describes Trump" by Jonathan Rauch in The Atlantic. Patrimonialism is the word of the day and it is vital we understand what it is and how trump is destroying America. We HAVE to consistently attack his corruption to save our country.

@lukerussert.bsky.social REALLY!!!!?????? PERMANENTLY on The Weeknight??? 🎉YAAAAY

Why is @ms.now running ad in which trump asked to stand up in support of role of gov "protecting US citizens"-then calling Dems crazy? An obvious setup to be used as this campaign ad. This in addition to ICE ads. Why MSNow? May as well watch FOX. Answer expected.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social In the midst of all this chaos and scary news today, I saw something on a lighter note and thought of you. It's a yarn bowl! Have never seen one--maybe you have one already. Take care & thanks for all you do in these stressful times. Not letting the bastids get me down!

Once again. 😡🤬 I woke up this morning to some sappy ad supporting ICE and offering why ICE is a noble group we should all be grateful for. WTF @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @msnowcomms.bsky.social Does MORNING JOE really need to sell out for cash? Seems more than just a bit disingenuous. Please fix

These hearings this week sure point out which Republicans are up for re-election in the midterms. Drama drama drama. Off topic.

I see Joni Ernst got extensions for her wig. Fetching.

Good lord. Josh Hawley's hemmorrhoids are really inflamed today. Proof Republicans cannot hold a legitimate hearing.

This hearing with Bondi is once again a circus because she is performing for Der Orange Leader instead of answering questions. CHANGE needs to be made in that any time and any remaining time should only be able to be used by congressional members of that party. NOT donated to the witness

@msnowcomms.bsky.social Two issues MSNow folks. I watch throughout the day, every day. 1. I don't appreciate the commercial for ICE. It is misleading and a clear contradiction to your values/programming. Why promote ICE-just for $$$? 2. Can we PLEASE retire the phrase "What do you make of that?"

Body cams are fine and all. But their next step is either to turn them off or refuse to release the recording. Bandaid. Fire them all. Every one. Including Miller Noem and Homan. Start over with ICE AND IMMIGRATION REFORM. Make it work, smart ones. They certainly have enough money to rebuild.

Anybody else notice Tom Homan saying the Rhetoric must stop, then saying several times "Agents in theater..."? Stop the rhetoric that gives these power hungry wannabes permission to use violence on anybody in their "theater". Thats a term thst implies a battleground against

Reports today that House Republicans "no longer care about Epstein files"-Boebert says too much other stuff going on. Cites Venezuela, Greenland, ICE. That was Trumps plan all along.

My god Greg Gutfield on FOX i a complete fool.

Trump is now adding Canada again in his quest for his imperial orgasm. He claims this is because Canada's border represents "a security risk to US". His new favorite phrase to justify insanity. Here's a thought. If all these takeovers are to avoid risk why not

If I was on the committee I'd rescind the award. How can you award a PEACE prize to someone who so strongly supports a hate filled evil bastard who is running around destroying the world and brutalizing his people? If nothing else, Jamal Khashoggi. Rape. Child abuse. Felon. Not peace.

"Invading Greenland will shatter NATO." Exactly. Why is Congress not asking WHO wants NATO shattered. Putin. Putin cant fight NATO alone but he has info on Trump and is telling him either do this or everything is public. Putin has directed Trump to destroy NATO and rule the Western hemisphere

Lotta this goin around.

Karolyin thinjs if she just speaks fast it will magically become real-you know, like the velvetine rabbit.

The country is on fire with critical issues. FOX "news" morons are covering....a baker who made a giant cannoli. So stupid.

Hannity is esp disgusting tonite. What a giant self-agrandizing prick.

Kristi Noem is currently giving an update briefing on the murder on Minneapolis woman by ICE. NOTHING BUT LIES.

Is there nothing they won’t do to hide the Epstein files? Let me fix that. There is nothing they won’t do to hide the Epstein files.

So how will Trump and Noem cover this up?

What in the hell is this idiot talking about?

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Trump and his DOJ could still face felony charges after he leaves office: ex-US attorney

It's Jan. 6. Do you know where your insurrectionists are?

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

Don Jr is assured of free coke for life since daddy took over Venezuela.

The unspoken part of trump's Venezuela takeover is that Jr gets unlimited cocaine for life.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

@meidastouch.com

Take note. Repost. Meidas investigate and put it out there.

Happy to see @lukerussert.bsky.social cohosting on The Weeknight tonight. Can you join them nightly for a foursome? One of my fav shows on msnow. Of course, like you have nothing else to do-prob busy !! 😉

On this Christmas Day. Blessings to those judges, reporters, legislators and all those who have stood for what's good, right and just and have faced threats, swatting, hate and harrassment from corrupt liars and power grabbing bigots. We all need to be grateful to them for standing strong.Thank you

@meidastouch.bsky.social I have to share this and don't know exactly where but here. Just watched a terrifyingly accurate show EXACTLY describing whats going on with trump maga and kirk. 1959 Twilight Zone season 4 episode 4 "He's Alive". Every trump follower should watch. It's on Tubi-free.

Make no mistake. Just because Susie Wiles appears to be the most sane person in tjis administration does NOT imply she is not just as coniving, just as evil as the rest. After all, she suports the maniacal orange felon without fail.

Exactly what we expect from Donnie. He is pure evil.

I wonder. Rob Reiner was outspoken in his political comments. I admired what he said about trump and maga. It would not take much cash to get someone with an addiction to feed and access to his home to attack him and his wife. 🤔

This idiot even looks like the Gestapo.

😂😂😂😂😂

This is perfect. Signed, Blue Hoosier

@mika-brzezinski.bsky.social Hi Mika. I just needed to sharecwith you howvmuch I loved your writing today on The Tea about your Christmas tree. I could do relate to your description of mixed emotions. My father died a long time ago, when I was only 24. I now care for my 91 year old mom.

Right now: Trump "Affordability is a hoax made up by Democrats". Fuck you from here to next week trump. Then turn around and fuck you the other direction.

Little Marco is having a nauseatingly syncophantic hissy fit right now. Waiting for him to put on a wetsuit and finish climbing right up trumps ass. There are others waiting for him up there.

Isnt there something in tbe code of ethics for lawyers prohibiting practice outside your area of expertise? Besides common sense I mean.
