You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I have believed this for about ten years: Thé US is a nation of boiling frogs. And if the voting public draws the line at nothing, soon enough, the person those voters empower to lead the country will also: Draw. The. Line. At. Nothing.

If the gov’t mistakenly disappears the wrong person (though clearly gov’t couldn’t care less if “mistakes” are made), the court shrugs. Will the court allow for literally anyone on US soil to be disappeared? while gov’t goes “whoops” & does nothing to remedy the situation My, how the US has fallen

The biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency. And no one is talking about it.

Love this one. ♥️♥️♥️

One positive thing to take from the last few years of politics is that there almost certainly *isn't* a secret cabal of Illuminati running the world behind the scenes. And if there is, they're not very hands-on with it.

Whenever a Democratic president takes over again, he/she needs to immediately reform the Supreme Court & then argue against the Citizens United Super PAC decision, as well as argue for personal contribution limits to your own campaign.

This.

Turns out, #Bidenomics wasn’t so bad…

The short term pain long term gain argument re: tariffs is asinine. Because no matter what happens from here, since J20, the US is not only no longer a reliable partner but a malevolent one, with corrupt and incompetent leadership. It will take a generation or more to repair the damage, if ever.

May I propose, in addition to the requirement of having circled the sun 35 times in order to run for POTUS- Perhaps a civics class, and, like, a basic economics class be required to be both taken and passed before one is able to run for such a mightily important office?

Yes please. Yes please. Yes please.

Wow. Turns out barring someone from running for office isn’t. actually. that. hard.

Exactly.

Generations of Americans raised to believe “it could never happen here” Because of the strength of institutions; checks & balances; the rule of law; Paradoxically, that very paradigm & the resulting confidence, complacency & comfort it provided was the exact recipe needed… for it to happen here.

For the but-I-like-his-policies voter Was it the: A) tax cut for billionaires? B) cruelty of child separation? C) tragically botched pandemic response? Surely not his conservative policies. He was never a conservative. As a wise man once said, he’s fascist to the core. So please, enlighten me.

My plan for the Canadian Armed Forces will strengthen our economy and secure our sovereignty. In an increasingly divided world, we will invest to give our military the tools they need — from submarines and icebreakers, to drones, and next generation defence capabilities.

These are the workers who are going to build a strong, modern military fleet. It’s time to invest big in our national defence and to protect our sovereignty. It’s time to build Canada Strong.

Under my leadership, Canada will invest in our security, meet our 2% spending target by 2030 — and pull our full weight in NATO.

I am asking Canadians for a strong, positive mandate to deal with President Trump and build a stronger economy here at home.

Message for republican senators: Maybe, just maybe, the skill set for being a weekend fox news host & the skill set for being secretary of defense are, like, two different skill sets, entirely.

… Is it possible for 77 million people to have a ten year mass delusion? Asking for, like, most every other person on earth. And also, quite possibly, several species of space aliens that have been watching us and wondering whatever the hell it is we are doing down here?!?!?… …

If woke means self-awareness, critical thinking skills & an attempt to understand the world in the context of history, then of course they’ll disparage it; A woke public is an awake public. That’s why they’ve weaponized the term; because an awake public is a threat to their power. Full stop.

A Trump voter: “No one would’ve voted for him if we’d known he was gonna be like this.” Every single Harris voter warned you Officials from his last administration warned you General “He’s-A-Fascist-To-The-Core” Milley warned you Donald “I-Wanna-Be-Dictator-For-A-Day”Trump warned you JFC

I hear people are calling his cars “Deplorians” these days.

Number one Number one Number one Also number 13: Throw the #ElectoralCollege in the ash heap of history where it belongs.

If Republicans aren’t careful, he’s going to try to disappear Congress.

Ok. Finally saw something on here that made me smile. 🙂

I feel like we’re all stuck in an alternative reality nightmare that’s supposed to play out what happens when u let unlimited money in politics get to the point where some rando chainsaw wielding billionaire can buy the government for pennies on the dollar & sells the country for parts #ThankSCOTUS

Principles are not principles if you only stand by them when it’s convenient.

I'm actually a centrist traditionally speaking. I think capitalism works well when its excesses are tamed effectively through a regulatory state. And I believe the govt needs to stay out of people's bedrooms. Today, I guess that makes me a flaming liberal.

A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.

I was going to say that the Republican party has proven itself unprincipled. But I was wrong. They govern by three principles- cruelty, grift and groupthink. That’s all.

Perfect.

Listening to local Canadian news this morning- 1. Border crossings are way down 2. Airlines are decreasing # of flights to the US 3. US airlines are reducing prices to entice Canadians to go to the US I think I can safely say many 🇨🇦Canadians wouldn’t go to US now even if they were paid to do so…

Oh, and sorry for the language but I am in my F Bomb Era

It seems to me that the whole point of the American experiment was #NoKing Handing the president immunity for “official acts” (which could be literally anything) was the Roberts court, truly, handing him #TheKeysToTheKingdom It’s simple: immunity begets impunity And he is acting accordingly.

Seeing the return of the astronauts was pretty cool. Until the news piece said they landed in the Gulf of America, and damn it if it didn’t suddenly feel like I was watching propaganda…

Does anybody else have a physical reaction to his voice/ face? His voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I mean, it’s bad… 🤮🥴🤢

… He can disappear government jobs with impunity. He can disappear entire government agencies with impunity. He can disappear immigrants with impunity. He can disappear your neighbors and family and friends with impunity. He can disappear YOU with impunity. Because immunity begets impunity. …

… I wish Bush, Clinton, Biden, Harris & Obama would come out and have a news conference. Maybe flanked by all of the fired generals who warned of fascism. It might not make a difference but ATP, we need all hands on deck and we need to try everything before it’s too late. Where is everyone??? …

Since they spent money and time destroying Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC, I’m leaving this here: Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter times infinity ♾♾♾
