What a shameful day to be an American. The country that I loved is gone.

He wasn’t a fan. Until someone explained to him how he could make many billions from it by doing nothing and producing nothing of value for humanity. Now he’s a big fan.

I BET DEI DID THIS

I'm thinking about installing a flagpole in my front yard for the express purpose of flying the flag at full staff when that fucker dies.

This is a longshot, but does anyone know what happened to @lynnp27.bsky.social? She hasn't posted on here or Twitter for a couple of months.

Flying flags half-staff for 30 days after the death of a former president was put in place by President Dwight Eisenhower 70 years ago in 1954 & has been done for every president since that time until this Monday when Mike Johnson will end that tradition at Donald Trump’s demand.

Wow. If we still had a country left, I'd find this upsetting. He'll probably make it on Mt. Rushmore after all; if they have to blast off the faces of the other presidents to do it.

No other man or woman elected to the highest office of the United States would be psychologically damaged enough to demand this. Trump is a sick fuck and I really wish his sycophants would stop catering to his malignancy.

A expected, the stupid Trump shit has already started before the imbecile is even inaugurated, and I just don't have the energy to give a damn. I'm literally out of fucks. It's a weird place to be. Let's forcibly annex Canada. Sure. Why not. Of all the stupid times to be alive...

They absolutely got away with it. They are likely to continue to get away with such things for a while. But here’s the thing: I’d rather be unsuccessfully decent than successfully evil.

Conservatives are *pissed* about this. I would remind you that Trump awarded Rush fucking Limbaugh a Medal of Freedom. This is simply the universe correcting itself.

Scary stuff.

Christ, what an idiot.

So Mike Johnson barely wins election to Speaker of the House, where he will have a slimmer majority than he had at the end of the last Congress, after a few Republican holdouts were finally twisted into submission by Trump himself. And Republicans are like …

He is the most despicable piece of shit, ever. I'm so ashamed.

Happy New Year!

Could Donald Trump be a moderating influence on an Elon Musk presidency?

Lmao

Might as well. He's running the show anyway.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

The how is also up in the air. RFK Jr sparking a pandemic? Homan’s mass deportations leading to civil unrest? Hesgeth using the military to shoot protesters? The tariff idiocy causing the Greater Depression? Stay tuned for the exciting final season of America!

It's gonna be a long four years of unnecessary chaotic crap. And we won't even have cheaper eggs. A pox on the people who voted for it.

There was a stupid poem Trump was fond of...how did it go? Something Something "silly woman" Something Something "snake" I kinda love how they did this to themselves, ngl.

I mean, he kinda is tho...

I wish I lived in a country where this admission would be embarrassing.

Something's wrong with me. The Gaetz report may be released and I can't even feel schadenfreude at seeing that sleazeball's discomfort. I'm just completely numb to the dumbshittery anymore. If a meteorite happens to strike a certain golf club, I hope I'll feel more excitement then. #HeresHoping

This Drone thing just keeps going on and on and on.

Let's put this in perspective. The duly elected Speaker of the House is running legislation by un-elected billionaires.

We are going to get nine-elevened again so fucking hard

We're not gonna make it through the next four years with this level of dumbfuckery. King Dipshit and his merry band of assholes aren't even in office yet, and this is the idiotic crap a "normal" (a relative term) GOP is posting. Lord help us.

Failure to vote to convict an obviously guilty impeached president has consequences.

Was he having a medical event while typing this?

The Trump crowd wants to kill FDIC, install tariffs *and* bring back polio? I guess all this time the magical past of American Greatness they’ve been aiming for has been the banner year of 1930. Can’t wait for the soup lines! Wheee!

Got my coffee, sat down to take a look at Bluesky, and realized that the plan to cut spending is to just kill us off.

For the next four years…

Seems like a catastrophically bad idea.

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. —Franklin D. Roosevelt

We have a peculiar historical event shaping up where the oligarch billionaire class is about to fleece this country while most of their supporters are working people who are convinced that they are on their side because they hate migrants & trans people.

He's an international laughing stock and the cult members are too enchanted with the performative dumbfuckery to see it.

Clubbing a baby seal to death and lining my Trump altar with its pelt while screaming the n-word to celebrate Republican Christmas.

History doesn't repeat itself but it often has reoccurring explosive diarrhea.

I refuse to believe Nancy Mace's injuries via vigorous hand shaking are serious until she arrives in congress with her entire arm swathed in layers of kotex. That's how you know it's genuine.

So it seems I may not become wealthy under Trump's promised egg savings largesse. How disappointing and totally unexpected. Next you'll be telling me his concepts of a healthcare plan will fail to deliver and America will not be respected on the world stage. Alas.

“We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two. Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.” - Mitch McConnell Spare me the pearl clutching now, you sniveling coward. This is your damn fault.

I enjoyed his work in The Hills Have Eyes.

Leave the billion on the nightstand and me love you long time.

The actual health care policy fight next year will be over whether Republicans are able to slash Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare to pay for tax cuts for rich people. www.mediamatters.org/health-care/...

Chuck Schumer should immediately announce Democrats will accede to Trump's wishes here and do away with the Electoral College once and for all. Here's that bipartisan push the pundits are looking for. Let's go!

Back when laws mattered, this would be true. Now? 🤷‍♀️
