I will be so glad when that face disappears from the eco system, along with the fumes of his hatred that saturates the air 😬

After he's dead, we're gonna find out that the man who ruined our country was never actually elected, aren't we?

Despite hourly bulletins of rump’s horrendous treachery, a certain percentage of people will still vote for him & his congressional cabal. How do we recover from not just rump but that rampant stupidity? It’s just staggering.😵‍💫

Mayor Mamdani is an extraordinary example of what politic & power should be, fulfilling promises to the people every day. Democrats, especially if they retake Congress, should try the Mamdani approach. Less talk, constant action! Get stuff done!

When I imagine this alleged scenario, I see an urn of ashes sitting by the phone waiting for a call from the DC devil to tell him it’s okay to head on to hell now.

The whole, who knew ‘dumb’ is spelled with a ‘b’ that rump continues to go on about is ridiculous & yet a perfect example of what this administration exemplifies—it’s always focused on the dumbest (also with a d) things while the very soul of America is burning. Oh, and happy Labor Day😵‍💫

This is critical! Every sane person should do whatever it takes to make sure their vote is counted. Vote early and in person if you can, use drop box only for mail ballots and make sure your friends and family are set too. We need a blowout to stop him stealing the election. 🤞

The list of GOP politicians who should be charged with crimes & sent to jail grows longer every day. Why any non-criminal GOP politician ever stands with them is incomprehensible, unless it’s just that their own criminal grifts haven’t yet been exposed.😵‍💫🤯🤬

As we see daily, this powerful politician leads with empathy. He makes & implements countless decisions to make NYC better for the people. Such a contrast & relief from the tantrums & grifting that now dominates DC & the rest of us/US.

Every time I see references to ‘Epstein Training videos’ I feel shock & sadness that the FBI is no longer fighting crime, but fighting to protect criminals. Guess that’s to be expected when you work for the biggest criminal enterprise in the country. 🤬🤯🤮

I want to rage against his hate & inhumanity, and decry his stupidity, it’s almost as if his job is portraying the worst of this country. So I guess well done maggot.

Who’s the rump puppet master the cabinet & GOP congress is so afraid of? Otherwise they would invoke the 25th, send him to an asylum with a golf course, & lessen the reckoning that is coming, because it is coming & it will be dark & punishing. That I know.
