It's the permanence of this that gets me. A lot of the stuff he's done can be undone but you can't replace something that was built centuries ago. It's gone forever. I wish Trump were too.

Hey GOP, we're the only ones who should be allowed to carry the flag. You throw away that right every day you enable your would-be king to stay in power. You'd just love to toss aside that pesky democracy and take a short cut to oligarchy, elections be damned. You are no longer worthy of my flag.

Does anyone else still harbor the hope that all of this could change on a dime, maybe by way of a leaked Epstein revelation or some unforgivable gaffe? It all seems so fragile, built on lies, one hot-mic moment away from disaster. Could come any day. Please, God, make it so.

The quiet part is getting awfully loud

I'm learning that all my life I've given people way too much credit.

Seriously, Peter? History will be baffled by the media coverage during this time. American democracy was being dismantled in front of their eyes, the biggest story of their lifetimes, and journalists cowered in the corner or spent time on idiocy. Failed themselves, their readers and their republic.

I replaced Trump for Hitler in this AI generated piece and learned that I could predict the future:

They probably invited him back purely for entertainment purposes, an entire country laughing at him behind his back.

That's ok by me. My educated son will be their boss someday.

So unAmerican. There's a Ram truck commercial narrated by Dana White that ends with 'Never stop being American'. My question is what happens when America stops being American?

I think of the Trump regime as a last ditch effort to stop an inevitable tide of liberalism. Looking at ads on TV I see plenty of multiracial and LGBTQ+ families. Also, any job seeker will find that DEI is alive and well. They can try to smother it but good will win out in the end.

Can we stop legitimizing this farce by calling it a 'summit'? It was bullshit from the start and an insult to Zalenskyy. And then there's Lavrov's tee shirt....

I'm sure it'll be available to commoners for free for weddings and such

The judicial branch telling the executive branch it can't override the legislative branch. Love to see my democracy at work. Now if only they'd stay in their own lane. Looking at you, SCOTUS.

Yes, please give us the list, we'll just ignore the name between S and U that's crossed out with a black sharpie

Ok, I'll bite. I concede that Obama wrote every word of the Epstein files. NOW can I see them?

I feel like I'm going through the stages of death watching the slow motion downfall of democracy. I think I'm finally getting over my denial and careening fast into anger.

MAGA uses Christianity to do unchristian things. I'm thinking God will have the final word on that come judgment day.

Tarnishing the reputations of good men to distract us from the actions of awful ones.

He said they 'hate' our country, but the thing is Trump's the one who hates our country and wants to dispense with all our democratic norms and institutions that make America America.

If they worked in the corporate world they'd be fired

Or not, depends on who wins the narrative. Awful if Trump does and future kids learn that Jackson was an evil left liberal.

Is anyone keeping a Trump death toll?

Red states are hit hardest by weather issues so it seems like they've shot themselves in the foot. The shortsightedness of this administration will take a heavy toll.

We can't count on the courts or Congress or the press, the perfect storm against democracy. I think besides protests we need to focus on getting people who've never voted to the polls come midterms, if we make it there. It's an untapped goldmine for votes.

But why? They must understand their rulings are paving the way to Trump tyranny. Do they really have so little regard for democracy and the law? Isn't that why they studied the law in the first place? Why are they hell bent on destroying it?

Silly me, I thought she was supposed to side with the Constitution www.cnn.com/2025/06/27/p...

I love that she pushed back forcefully and Hegseth immediately backtracked. Such a small, weak man desperately hoping his muscles and belligerence will hide it.

So 'homegrown' means it doesn't matter if you're a citizen with ancestry traced back to the friggin mayflower, if you don't swear fealty to this regime you could wake up in Rwanda with zero recourse.

Maybe the press secretary should stop attacking individual journalists like she did with Natasha Berstrom. Just for doing her job. I bet Berstrom got a fresh batch of threats from maga after that.

How rude of them not to abide by an imaginary agreement.

Blithely labeling judges as 'Activist' undermines democracy, signaling that it's OK, even righteous to defy their orders.

Americans shooting Americans. Christ Jesus. Soldiers are not mindless machines with guns. They're people, Americans, who maybe today with their finger on the trigger will need to decide if they're on the side of fascism or democracy.

I hope everyone in a uniform is aware that spitting is not a capitol offense.

Now we need musk to reveal evidence that he rigged the election for Trump and we're off to the races.

The first real chance at defeating this bill comes from Elon friggin Musk? Didn't see that coming but what the hell, I'll take it.

I have such president envy when it comes to Zalenskyy. A strong, brave and brilliant leader.

And the Dems get blamed for the poor economy while the Pubs take credit for the ones the Dems fixed. A vicious circle.

And last but not least, Trump America. Running our democracy into the ground along with all his past failures. God help us.

This is what happens when sociopaths are given free rein. Empathy should be a requirement for any job in government.

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Musk thinking he could fix the government is like me barging into SpaceX saying I can fix those rockets.

When do other religions get their turn?

Ethics are not on the menu www.nbcnews.com/tech/crypto/...

Only ignorant people think the answers to complex issues are simple. Bleach injections anyone?

Here's a litmus test: if asked do you need to uphold the Constitution you don't answer 'I don't know'.

So...white South Africans and Mexican cartels are in, poor huddled masses are out. ✔️

"I would HOPE he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you CAN'T take gifts from foreign leaders." I don't get why Trump gets to pick and choose the parts of the Constitution he thinks should apply to him.

So he's depriving Americans of tourist dollars while creating a boon in foreign tourism. Way to put America first. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/t...

If Trump was negotiating the end of the Revolutionary War he'd tell those young scrappy upstarts that King George will give them everything they want except those 13 colonies.
