The Democrats have abandoned Americans and the Constitution. All they care about is polling and consultants rather than fighting a tyrannical, fascist regime close to implementing martial law. “We’ll figure out how to fix it after we win back control” isn’t a winning strategy. It’s capitulation.

We are supposed to go up to Minneapolis in two weeks for our son’s athletic competition. We are considering pulling out from it because we don’t know how safe it will be with all of the ICEstapo brownshirts running amok.

And here’s the problem: Americans, especially Democrats, are willing to put up with pain and difficulties if we can bring the country back from fascism (see the last shutdown). But the cowardly Dem politicians don’t have the spines to battle Trump, so they just roll over and make things worse.

This really just epitomizes Hegseth and the whole Trump administration: only concerned about looking “tough” and “manly” rather than actually being competent at what your job is.

There needs to be Nuremberg trials after this fascist regime is deposed. And any Democrat who opposes that - like I suspect @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social would - need to be primaried and never hold office again.

“The House and Senate are currently negotiating the bill that appropriates money to the DHS, which requires 60 votes. But Schumer and Jeffries did not commit to using the appropriations process as leverage.” Of course not. Does anyone have any faith that they’ll use this bit of power they have?

I would come back to the Church if Pope Leo excommunicated every “Catholic” in the Trump administration.

Then do it. Arrest the murderer and put him on trial.

The current Republican Party is actively announcing “If you don’t comply with our orders, you should expected to be killed” and it seems like a lot of people aren’t considering it a big deal? I really just can’t see how this country ever comes back from Trump 2.0.

The Star Tribune has ID'd the murderer: his name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Christ, Jeffries is just pathetic and spineless. Why don’t you go tell her 6-year old child that you get around to trying to do something about their mom’s murderer at a later date, when it polls better.

It sure seems like the Democrats’ strategy to address the murder in Minnesota is to drop f-bombs. And that’s it. I’ve only seen one Democrat call for impeachment of Noem and none for the impeachment of Trump. And somehow they can’t grasp why they keep losing elections.

It really does feel like we’re inches away from an armed citizen rightfully in fear of their lives will fire at ICEstapo in self defense. And they likely will be 100% justified in their actions.

Our family was planning on going to Europe this summer, but with this Greenland bullshit being floated by the fascist idiots in charge, I’m not sure if we’ll be allowed in.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Every time he drops these little tidbits, the oligarch-owned major media outlets chalk it up to “Trump being Trump” or “He’s just joking”. But he never is joking, it’s always planting the seeds for what he’s going to try to do. “They should cancel the election” should be a 10-alarm fire everywhere.

Random pessimistic/doomsayer thought of the night: they will illegal take over Cuba next but Greenland will wait until closer to November. That way, they can use the resulting war with NATO as an excuse to upend the midterms (either election or results).

America is basically Biff Tannen from Back to the Future.

Hey, Europe and NATO: you should absolutely announce that you made a mistake and are going to give the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump. When he comes to Europe to accept is, arrest him as a war criminal. Because kidnapping world leaders is now completely fine according to the US.

Thanks to the sycophants in Congress and the traitors on the Supreme Court, the United States has become Russia, or perhaps even 1930s Germany. And it’s going to get a lot worse before it even has a chance to get better.

Ooooh. On a Sunday? 36 hours after Trump illegally started a war with Venezuela and committed an international crime? Guess someone finally got through to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social that his weak press release was awful. Now he’ll release a weak JOINT statement from all House Dems. That’ll work.🙄

Can someone ask @schumer.senate.gov where his line is? If starting an illegal war, kidnapping a head of state, and letting his oligarch friends strip mine it for its oil (after committing war crimes with the boat attacks) isn’t enough for impeachment, what would Trump have to do?

And here is @schumer.senate.gov being absolutely, 100% fine with Trump breaking international law to violently overthrow another sovereign nation to take their oil. He is flat-out saying his only issue is that he wasn’t consulted or briefed first.

At this point, I have to assume that these European leaders are also in the Epstein Files so they need to kiss Trump’s ass and abase themselves to him in hopes that he can keep the files under wraps.

Again, I’m not surprised, but god damn @schumer.senate.gov still manages to stab every American in the back by being such a coward. I am done with the Democratic Party.

America’s government is broken and there is no path to fixing it with the current politicians. They have all failed us.

You know the DNP is complete shit when their leaders put out mild critique of Trump breaking international law while MTG issues an angry rebuke and calls out of her (former) best pal. Why should we think you can actually lead, Democrats? @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Hey, Europe and NATO: you should absolutely announce that you made a mistake and are going to give the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump. When he comes to Europe to accept is, arrest him as a war criminal. Because kidnapping world leaders is now completely fine according to the US.

Jesus fucking Christ. I wasn’t expecting much from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , but this both-sidesing, meek press release is still somehow even worse that I was anticipating. The Democratic Party is a joke.

Did we just annex Venezuela on behalf of the oil companies?

If you list all the reasons we just started an illegal war in Venezuela, it will include things like: oil, distraction from Epstein, oil, distraction from economy, oil, distraction from health care costs, and oil. Nowhere on the list will be “drugs” or “American safety”.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - maybe NOW you can try to bring up votes to impeach Trump? Even though they’ll likely fail, it’ll show us that you’re trying to do *something* to push back against this war criminal president.

Since Trump himself just set the international precedent, what’s stopping Iran or even NATO from declaring Trump a criminal and then kidnapping him (and Melania) to stand trial? That’s a fair and legal strategy, according to Mr. “Peace President”.

If the Democrats win back both the House (likely) and Senate (unlikely) and do not immediately impeach Trump, I do not know why anyone would ever vote for them again. Trump needs to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, and turned over to The Hague for his war crimes.

Jesus Christ. Trump had US forces sneak into Venezuela and violently kidnap the country’s leader? No declaration of war. No approval by Congress. No imminent threat to America or its citizens. Just a straight up illegal snatch and grab. Like what the fuck is even happening anymore?

Has the right-wing and other Elon fans started their normalization of Grok’s CSAM started yet? “Yeah, she’s only 14, but it only showed her in a bikini. It’s not like she was nude.”

If a president kept posting “I aced my sobriety test again!”, you would *think* that maybe at least one major news outlet would start asking “Why does the president keep boasting that he’s sober?” But crickets.

Hey. Remember the Epstein Files? You know, the ones that the government was legally required to fully release without redactions (except for the victims' info) exactly two weeks ago today? Whatever happened with that? And why aren't the media and Democrats screaming about it at every opportunity?

Our annual family New Year’s Eve tradition since NYE 2020: lighting the previous year on fire to send it to Hell. I am not sorry to see 2025 gone, even if I think 2026 is shaping up to be potentially worse. #HappyNewYear

Land of Confusion by Genesis. Great song and the video is great for making fun of Reagan.

And I suspect this right here is the reason we are going to see all sorts of crazy (and possibly illegal) attempts to further restrict voting and/or push more gerrymandering before November. If Dems get all of Congress, the jig is up.

Looking at some important countdowns for next year: * 30 days until another possible government shutdown * 36 days until the New START treaty expires * 185 days until July 4th 250th celebrations * 307 days until the midterm elections New Year's prediction: shit is going to get even crazier in 2026

How I’m entering 2026:

"Your best course of action is to die quickly and decrease the surplus population."

"Unlike my good friend and fellow Republican Rick Scott. He is such a master at exploiting system, he got a $1.7 billion fine for it."

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains. The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails. *chef's kiss*

Apparently the US declared war on Venezuela last week? I know it was the holidays and all, but hard to believe that wasn't bigger news. Unless, you know, Trump didn't follow the law or Constitution...

The family went to see #AvatarFireAndAsh today and I have to admit that the Internet was right: it had no impact to my culture. I enjoyed the movie and it had spectacular visual effects. But it didn’t impact my personal culture. I guess that means James Cameron is a hack or overrated or something?

How I’m walking out of 2025

Evidence of the death of both our climate and humanity: it’s December 27th in Wisconsin and one of our neighbors is using a glass-powered leaf blower to clean up their backyard at 8am on a Saturday morning. Maybe it is just best if humanity just passes on…
