We have moved past any “inflection point.” The criminals who have taken over our government will not allow a peaceful resolution. They stand to lose their fortunes, their freedom - everything. We need to accept the truth. One way or another we’re marching into hell. We need to get on with it.

Well then get your friends in high places to open the damn government and get the controllers back on the job, Sean.

Not quite yet but he’s working on it.

It’s no wonder not one GOP-er has reached out to Jeffries on this. To even mention the threat by a pardoned insurrectionist would result in paying a price to the thin-skinned prince of retribution.

No need to make it up. It’s real. We need to make up the story about how get red of this criminally corrupt administration.

The Supreme Court under MAGA/GOP justices is where reason, honesty, and decency go to die.

So they’re complicit. Ask them if they care. The regime has the keys to the treasury and the armory. We have no idea what it will take to get our democracy back. If we did, we’d have done it already.

It is so much more than not holding them accountable. Backers are positively lined up in full support of this travesty. I’d like to boycott them but look at this list. To disengage with most of these would get you most of the way to “off the grid.” Who can do that? bsky.app/profile/cont...

First thing we do is rip his name off of every federal building anywhere it was placed. Straight into a dumpster.

That Times subhead reads “Trump initially said.” When a sentence contains the words “Trump” and any form of the verb “said,” the entire sentence is without merit or meaning. Carry on.

If you keep lowering your standards to “win” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side

That’s a good one.

What’s to anguish about? He and the party would spend precious time explaining - and when you’re explaining you’re losing. Meanwhile, Mills has a record of busting Trump’s balls - no explanation needed.

If I can’t win, I’m not playing. ☹️

@indivisible.org Can we please get a nationwide protest together for Adelita Grijalva to be sworn in? Raise the salience of the Epstein files even more and demand her constituents get representation!

Authoritarians can have my frivolity and absurdity when they pry it from my cold, dead hands. 🙂

Not just the political mainstream media, but the mainstream culture in general. Sure, the press ought to express outrage as the indignities pile up, but the public and our institutions - academe, church, LE, chamber of commerce, boardroom - need to press the government harder to clean up its act.

😏

Not quite. Needs to mention how he will personally profit from the deal.

Paul Ingrassia seems charming. How the fuck is he in line to head the Justice Department’s Office of Special Counsel? Oh, right. Trump picked him. The diarrhea goes on.

"I bet I could tear down the White House, Vlad, and these schmucks would still cheer me on! 😆"

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy. Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

Sen Ernst, if you want to get to the bottom of it, look it up. I did. The major organizers are Indivisible Inc. and 50501, short for Fifty States Fifty Protests One Movement, funded by a mix of small/large donors including Soros-founded Open Society Foundations, among many others. indivisible.org

True

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

Meghan, Trump isn’t a king - as you know. He behaves like one. Looks like he wants to be one. But he is not one. What do you say we keep it that way? Or we could just sit down and stfu and watch him tear the Constitution to shreds. What’s your thinking on that?

Exactly right. Keep on pushing.

There will be zero GOP congressional oversight until the cost of sticking with him exceeds the cost of ditching him.

Does Mike Johnson go with, “I haven’t seen the video” or “The President has fun online, last I checked that’s not illegal.”

Trump to Americans exercising their Constitutional rights: Who cares? No Kings was excellent but it’s not enough. Build on it. Amplify it. Multiply it. Get rid of this fuckin’ guy. Hit him hard enough (not literally of course) that he’s incapable of hitting back at all, let alone 10 times harder.

Joe, I’ve been called worse by immeasurably better people. Enjoy your money. Be sure to keep us posted if it buys you decency and true respectability. 🇺🇸

White House might as well have gone with “Fuck off.” Vote out every Republican. Every … damn … one. 🇺🇸

How to indict your political enemies: Step 1. Appoint an AG who went to law school in a hotel Step 2: Replace career prosecutors with an insurance lawyer who never prosecuted a federal case Step 3: Hire an FBI director with zero years in law enforcement Step 4: Let them cook What a meritocracy!

Mike Johnson can’t make it to No Kings. He’s busy up to here screwing the poors and the Democrats with one hand and covering his ass with the other.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Governance is complicated. For example, you could reconvene the national legislature and act to ensure that millions don't see their health care costs double or triple, to allow information on which men fucked children to be aired, and to restore services to all Americans. Or not. It's a grey area.

True

This shit will continue until GOP members have had enough of it. That won’t happen until the political cost of sticking with it exceeds the cost of running Johnson over. Don’t look for that to happen. Crossing Trump is, in political terms, a capital offense.

NYT comes off as political hack. Again.

Hungary can’t have ports, and yet it has ports. 🤔 Go figure. www.marineinsight.com/know-more/po...

MAGA true believers eat this shit up. To anyone else, it just reinforces the obvious - either Mike Johnson cannot distinguish reality from MAGA fantasy, or he’s a Grade-A, US Prime Cut political hack who has no use for reality if it doesn’t comport with his ideology/agenda.

A “commitment”? The MAGA/GOP is committed only to aligning with Trump’s vision. They’ve shown repeatedly and consistently that they will not bargain in good faith.

Many things are more complicated than they seem on the surface. But this sounds like a very good idea.

I - & others with talent, skill, & ethics - can't find meaningful work This talentless stenographer - who propositioned @dicknixon.bsky.social on the rumor he might be important - makes a career figuratively & literally sucking up to Nazis Reposting so Moss sees me kindly asking him to fuck off

There of so much of this kind of stuff being done. I don’t think most people have a clue about the extent to which this regime is just maliciously breaking stuff and destroying lives. Vote out every Republican.

How about the US releasing all the hostages that ICE has recently taken?
