The answer for why the US can’t get a blatantly corrupt president removed from office is the same answer for why we can’t even get proof of life for a sitting US senator. The United States government is corrupt and no longer serves the American people.

$1.4 billion doesn’t magically manifest from thin air. It came from other people who no longer have 1.4 billion dollars, collectively, and had steep losses. #MagaGotConned #NoKings

Americans need to remember that Trump is out of office forever by 2.5 years from now. SCOTUS is giving a lot of power to “the president.” It doesn’t go away when Trump does. The next person gets the same. Most likely a Democrat. #SickOfHisFace #NoKings

This is unconstitutional. People who want to read the Bible can read the Bible. There is no law against that. But this opens the door for every religion out there to demand their books be included on required reading lists as well. Absolutely stupid.

If only all American government was like this. You don’t need to be any party at all to love this.

Bravery has to wear PPE when I smuggle him in to work. Safety at all times. #DogsOfBluesky

And the most pathetic and disgusting part is that they would.

No one is in excellent health at 80. Pretending that Trump is healthy is ludicrous. He clearly is not. You can’t even follow what he’s talking about. In my family he’s the guy you fix a plate for at the family reunion and let him eat his meatballs and hope he doesn’t say racist shit.

"I'm being very generous allowing domestic terrorists to steal only $2 billion dollars from you because otherwise I was going to steal even MORE from you. You're welcome, taxpayers. Suckers!"

“1.776 Billion” is a nice touch — Trolling us with fake patriotism as he steals our money and gives it to people who attacked the Capitol to end democracy for him How much will Rep. Andy Ogles get? @MarshaBlackburn?

This DOJ “settlement” is the most corrupt thing I have ever witnessed. No other American president would ever try such a thing. This is absolutely disgraceful, disgusting, and outrageous.

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Bravery is living his best life on this pretty spring day. #DogsOfBluesky

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

Trump figured out the only way to grift billions of dollars from millions of people: Become President. And it worked.

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?

My sister and I are going to West Virginia tomorrow to visit the holler where our great-grandma was born. We’ve never been there before. But we are aware that you don’t whistle and don’t respond to someone calling your name in the woods. We’re not fools. #Appalachia

Tom Waits introduced me to who I am. I don’t know how else to describe it. I don’t have words for it. If my soul sang, it would sound like him. #TomWaits

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

Revisiting an old friend today. It’s been a few years. #KurtVonnegut #BreakfastOfChampions

In case you’re wondering, this is a real post.

You have got to be kidding. My passport expires in September. I will NOT be carrying around a passport for the next 10 years with that disgusting orange dipshit’s image on it. Read the room, morons. He is incredibly unpopular. Just stop.

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

It's raining on CAs Central Coast and "Raul" a strawberry worker, reminds us, "Rain or shine, we farm workers are out laboring in the fields. We work hard to plant, care for and harvest the crops that feed families across America." #WeFeedYou

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together. — Bill Nye

He's an evil piece of shit, and after 10 years we're closing in on everyone seeing it He's *dismissing* hundreds of raped kids—and I bet a lot of people who hear him do so will imagine that he's doing something so otherwise unthinkable because some of those kids were his victims

We are literally at the point in history where the Pope is battling the Antichrist. 🍿

Importantly, Trump’s feud with Pope Leo has exposed the truth: Trump has no leadership or diplomacy abilities. He can’t threaten someone who wasn’t elected, isn’t running a country, and can’t be bankrupted. He has no other tools in his toolbox. He only knows how to threaten. #PopeLeo

This is an information source I usually skip because the bias is strong, and I dislike feeling like the “news” is trying to manipulate my opinions. But this was an interesting read. #NarcissisticCollapse #MeltDown

If you havent seen this, make sure you read.

After depleting our munitions in an unnecessary war of his choice that hurt the global economy, and after gutting our intelligence agencies, his plan now is to sever ties with our allies. The US is more vulnerable and weak right now than it has ever been in my lifetime. #NATO

People outside the US do not understand how effective the brainwashing has been with right-wing propaganda. These people live in an alternate reality built on lies and they genuinely believe what they’ve been fed. Trump needs to go, but these people are still here in the house next door to us.

I do not understand how this sociopath can be in charge of my country. He should have been in prison a long time ago. I do NOT want my tax dollars being spent on killing innocent human beings so Donald Trump gets his way. I am intensely against that. #WarCrimes #WTF

The government should be well aware that I am a citizen. I should not have to prove it to vote. If the government thinks I am not a citizen, the onus should be on them to prove it. Not on me. #VoterSuppression #RightToVote

Republicans couldn’t even hold on to Trump’s own district. I’d like to see Trump try to convince people that he has a 100% approval rating now.

Happy National Puppy Day to those who celebrate! Bravery was a wee pup of 4 months here, with big brother Courage looking out for him. #DogsOfBlueSky #NationalPuppyDay

Never in my life have I believed Iran state media over our own government. Until now. That’s not being “unpatriotic,” it’s having a brain that functions.

I enjoy art that calms me. #Art #TimelineCleanse

For people outside of the US: DO NOT come here right now. It is not safe for you or your families. We are currently under attack by the thick orange fuck in the White House, and our representatives are spineless pukes who do not defend us against him. They sure as shit won’t defend you.

Never thought I’d miss the days of seeing little “Under Construction” animated GIFs on someone’s Geocities site that rated/ranked the bookstores in their hometown.

Just in case you need some good news today: researchers at U of W have figured out how to turn plastic waste into acetic acid (primary ingredient in vinegar) using the sun. This has the potential to really help us reduce plastic waste. uwaterloo.ca/news/media/w...

Hey, do you remember that Sen. Larry Craig scandal in 2007 when he tapped his foot in a restroom and got arrested for lewd behavior, and it ended his career? I would like people who canceled that guy to explain their support for Trump. He is a million times worse, and they defend him.

This is a real post. Also, the president of the United States attended a dignified transfer of six killed Americans while wearing a trashy trucker hat. This is actually happening.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
