MAGA: “We just wanna have fun and be allowed to be racist, women-haters, homophobic, and white supremacists and you lefties are just such buzzkills. That’s why we’re winning.” That’s my takeaway from the posts on X today.

I repeat myself. Trump is a vulgar ass but a vulgar ass voted in by our neighbors. If the country we know is about to end we must remember that the collective we did it to ourselves. We invited the criminal into our house. He didn’t break in.

I’m not a trillionaire. But I know I will leave this Earth having lived a much happier life than Elon Musk. Too many yearn for the wrong things.

I know lots of you out there want to kill off the boomers asap but just remember you’ll still be left with Bezos(barely a boomer), Zuckerberg, Musk, baby Ellison, Thiel, Trump kids, and more. Enjoy

No evidence of fraud but come on California your election laws are brilliantly stupid. Way to play into the hands of the conspiracy mongers.

Vote tallies should not be released until most ballots have been counted.

I’m watching a former student’s astrophysics PhD defense and wow do I feel out of my element.

I am sincerely asking people to stop the generation wars. I get it that it was originally used for data collection but it’s getting ridiculous. Even for data reasons do boomers ‘46 and ‘64 really share the same youth experiences? Gen X ‘65 and ‘79? Millennial ‘80 and ‘96? Etc? Please!

Trump doesn’t get “When the going get tough the tough get going” actually means.

It’s been said repeatedly but this is NOT just a Trump problem. This is a AMERICA problem.

It was the Republicans who pushed mail-in voting in AZ in the early 90s. They thought it would help Republican turnout. Now that it’s popular with everyone and Democrats have fully embraced it Repubs want it gone. Go figure.

Aren’t we missing the real story? If the ruling class wanted Trump gone he’d be gone. Trump is not the real threat, he is the useful village idiot.

Brown v Board of Education is the logical next step for these asses. I wouldn’t be surprised if Helvering v Davis (Social Security) will be on the chopping block too. Russell Vought is seeing his vision come true.

I can’t unsubscribe from Paramount+ because I am already unsubscribed.

So Jill Biden thinks Joe would have won. Narcissism runs deep in politics.

We are constantly bombarded with images, news, opinions, videos, and messages. Is it any wonder that when everything matters nothing matters?

Besides the People themselves, only one part of one institution has kept us from outright dictatorship—most of the Federal District Courts. I’m sure the fascists are eyeing them big time. Every Other Institution Has Failed Us.

Anyone still have a $200 bicentennial commemorative dollar bill with Gerald Ford’s picture on the front?

Why aren’t all Democrats in Congress at Delaney Hall right now? They still aren’t grasping why so many of us are angry with them.

I’ve been thinking lately that maybe some good will come of us no longer being the alpha dog of the world.

Fundamentalist fruitcakes from the 1600s would be impressed by today’s fundamentalist fruitcakes

Just called my “I have no position on that” Congressman Juan Ciscomani from AZ 6th on his views about the slush fund and guess what? “The congressman has no position on that”. Why are we paying these fools?

I want us out of Iran even if that means we “surrender”. I’m sick of these wars of choice and have been for all my life. Which war have we won since WW2?

13 soldiers died getting out of Afghanistan on a timeline set by Trump and the right went nuts. Biden mounted their loss. 13 soldiers died in a war started by Trump and he and his fan club dismiss it as ONLY 13 lives.

Epstein’s crimes got a pass from Democratic and Republican administrations. On this issue, a pox on all of their houses.

Trump is not authentic. He’s not filterless. He’s not Everyman. He just lies with confidence. And he’s an asshole.

Our founders were classist, sexist, and racist. And all of that was codified in our original constitution. So it’s easy to see where those “originalists” want to take us back to.

The VRA and other civil rights legislation finally brought some semblance of democracy to citizens long denied. Liberty and justice was never available to all. Any forgiveness for past sins is no longer possible as we are purposefully backsliding to cruelty. This is a conscious choice.

SCOTUS is undoing the advances towards fairness and equality made in the 20th century. Brown v Board of Education will likely survive because the right is already successfully using vouchers to gut that ruling. At some point we will see lawsuits against Social Security and Medicare.

In 2016 I had a debate with a Bernie Bro (to be clear I like Bernie) who said he decided not to vote because Hillary was too establishment. My response was “Presidents come and go but it’s all about the Supreme Court right now”. Today I rest my case.

We have a corrupt administration and here on Bluesky I’m seeing more and more posts about getting rid of Jeffries. Sure let’s fight each other instead of the real problem. Once again the people on the left side of politics seek to destroy each other. X is a hellscape but Bluesky can be pretty cringe

Honestly I am not in the impeachment camp. It will never get through the senate. I am in favor of investigations but mostly I want Trump’s cruelty to be stopped. Vance is not a better option than Trump. We are stuck with them but we don’t have to let their agenda move forward.

The problem is never Trump’s horrible behavior and actions, the problem is our responses to his horrible behavior and actions.

Give him the damn ballroom and any other reno project if it keeps him busy. Tear it all down later.

Today’s WHCD: 2nd Amendment remains strong.

All 3 branches of government and key institutions are failing and we really think a couple of election cycles will make everything ok?

Percent decrease for Dummies: 1. Subtract the new from the original 2. Divide that number by the original 3. Multiply by 100 Just thought I’d put that out there for RFK Jr.

Alan Dershowitz's defection to the Republican Party could have a chilling effect on Democrats' ability to recruit authoritarian pro-Netanyahu pedophiles who continually go on Fox News to praise Donald Trump.

Sources say that if Kash Patel cannot stop binge drinking and spending taxpayer dollars on his personal travel, Donald Trump is prepared to fire the highest ranking woman at the FBI.

All Trump had to do was let most of Biden’s policies continue (and claim them as his own), tighten the border, stay out of a war and golf. And loosen psychedelic research for Joe. He’d be on top.

A Democratic Congress or President only temporarily slows the march to authoritarianism. Without Constitutional amendments there is no coming back. Impeachments or the 25th won’t save us. We will always be one election away from repeating this nightmare. We are broken. We have to admit it.

Our Constitution is old and showing its structural weakness in standing up to a bad actor. Constitutional amendments are the only way out of today’s crisis. I am doubtful that can be done in today’s disinformation environment.

A journalist’s trust index will be set by whether they attend the WHCD.

I haven’t been to Mass in quite a while, I admit. But I’m furious with our Pope-hating President. To be fair I despised this Pope-hating President before this moment.

I want Dems to speak with conviction and say what they believe in. We need combativeness. But I don’t need fantasy. No, there will not be any invocation of the 25A nor will there be an impeachment. Not happening.

He finally told us why we are there. It’s a Holy War.

They’ve seen the Epstein files. Trump is being blackmailed to do their bidding. Project 25 is moving along rapidly. Get us into a war forcing the erasure of all non-war spending. It’s happening. Trump is not the force behind it. He’s the vehicle. And in return he gets richer and stays out of jail.

Don’t expect any fired Trump officials to criticize him. They all signed NDAs which probably included “you can’t say anything bad about me” clauses.

Trump is all over the Epstein files. How likely is it that Stephen Miller is blackmailing him? Last night Trump sounded more like a hostage than a president.

Trump and friends make it hard to think. They’re always yelling, threatening, harming, demeaning. Even their prayers are full of hate.
