“A force multiplier” in Charlotte. On top of this idea being 💯 unnecessary, 💯 authoritarian, and obviously an appeal for Trump’s attention, this mother fucker’s district does not even touch Charlotte, or any other major city in North Carolina for that matter. Mind your own fucking business Pat.

Don’t fucking cry to me about calling you a fascist if you defend any part of this shit. At least own your fascism and don’t try to gaslight us with excuses about public safety.

Tim & Bill, there’s no “run for VP instead” loophole that Trump could use. The 12th Amendment prevents that and our Constitution is very clear about it. 12A text: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”

Trump can’t constitutionally run for a 3rd term, or for VP. It’s sad that so many journalists know nothing about our 12th Amendment. “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

If it happens, it will be because they have just flat out ignored two constitutional amendments. Which I totally see them doing. The question here is does their bullshit argument have a legal leg to stand on. And if you look at the combination of our 12th & 22nd Amendments, it absolutely does not.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 25/10/2025
The 12th Amendment is clear that one cannot run for/be VP if they’re ineligible to be POTUS. Our 22nd Amendment is also clear that one is allowed to run for POTUS and win only twice, consecutively or not. Constitutionally, Trump cannot run for a 3rd term. But yes, obviously he will try regardless.

The gaslighting is expected but still, wow. MAGA continues to try to rewrite history about January 6th and sweep their unbelievably brazen hypocrisy under the rug. Don’t EVER let them lecture you about defending shit after Jan 6th, ever. They lost whatever credibility they had left after that day.

Trump wants to be the real big brother.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
Trump loves quoting random accounts telling him what a good boy he is. Turns out if Trump is president shutdowns do still happen, this is now his third. The last shutdown, which was also under Trump, was the longest one in American history at 35 days. The point: Trump and MAGA are full of shit.
000
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
Well would you look at that… Mr. “leadership” himself chiming in during Obama’s presidency about who is to blame for government shutdowns. Hypocrisy is Trump’s love language. There’s always a quote somewhere demonstrating that Trump, per usual, is completely full of shit.
000
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
Trump is trying to push apolitical government workers into using MAGA talking points in their out-of-office messages to blame Democrats for the shutdown. “Some civil servants, who are supposed to be nonpartisan, are being encouraged to push out the messages as well.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 24/09/2025
Trump going after perceived “enemies” using state power is fascist, and there are endless examples throughout history of the downward spiral we’re in with a vindictive president who can’t accept criticism, and who does not care about the law unless it’s used to punish anyone he feels like punishing.

Trump is 💯 a fascist. The faster the bulk of the media and the public figures this out and let’s go of their normalcy bias, the faster we can appropriately respond to this kind of crisis. This is a totalitarian threat from a wannabe dictator, do not obey in advance. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump is a fascist to the core.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 18/09/2025
Trump was always a fascist if given the chance to wield power again, so the road we’re headed down was inevitable. He didn’t know what he was doing in the 1st term, but he had 4 years off to think about it. This entire term is about silencing critics, rewarding his friends, and consolidating power.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 18/09/2025
Ironically, it’s true. Not that it matters since Trump is torching our constitution faster than the Reichstag burned.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 18/09/2025
We told you Trump was a fascist, you wrote us off as alarmists. We told you to read Project 2025, you said Trump had nothing to do with it. You ignored the warning signs from the 1st term and ignored his attempts to overthrow the government on Jan 6th. This shit was inevitable if he got reelected.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
After all the attempts by MAGA to blame Democrats for Kirk’s assassination, using dangerous rhetoric as if the entirety of the middle/left was in on it, and declaring war on half the country, there is a chance that right-wing trolls might have stirred up an unstable person towards one of their own.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 10/09/2025
💯 Exactly right… Violence has no place in America, politically motivated or otherwise. It’s foolish though to ignore the correlation between our present moment, and those who pushed the temperature endlessly higher with politically motivated, dangerous rhetoric that’s disconnected from reality.

They voted for Trump to end wokeness and the war in Ukraine, lower grocery prices, and deport 10+ million people. When voters elect someone to fix these issues, having no idea how these problems developed or how complicated they are to solve, they will sadly experience what’s called “finding out.”

This tax extension bill not only further enriches the ultra wealthy, but it does so at the expense of everyone else, and it’s going to balloon the debt on a seismic scale. Not to mention… We already pay more $ on our interest payments every year than we do on defense, and we spend A LOT on defense.
000
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 21/05/2025
Republicans have not been the party of fiscal responsibility for decades. They have ballooned the debt with multiple tax cuts for the rich, and spun it every time as if they had nothing to do with it. This bill will burden American taxpayers with mountains of totally avoidable additional debt.

It’d be great if everyone realized that MAGA is made up of a bunch of hyper-offended snowflake cowards who love to dish it out, but couldn’t handle it being thrown back at them if their lives depended on it. They want fascism partly b/c they want to silence criticism they can’t emotionally handle.

Here’s Trump on 1/29/24 taking credit for Biden’s hot economy, 3 years after Biden fixed an economy that Trump helped torch w/ his mismanagement of Covid. Now here Trump is on 4/30/25 blaming Biden for an economy that Trump torched in 4 months with tariffs. Trump takes responsibility FOR NOTHING!

In addition to all of the other insane things our wannabe dictator for a president is doing, he has directed OUR military, a force to be exclusively used to fight foreign enemies, to back up state and local police. That is a straight up military police state, where in the fuck is the pushback? 🦗🦗🦗

We won’t survive without an informed electorate that can think critically and see through disinformation. Trump is a direct consequence of this problem. No healthy democracy with a empathetic and informed electorate would ever vote for a person like Trump. We are sick, and he is a reflection of it.
000
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
The answer to that question is unequivocally yes @nbcnews.com! Trump can’t just switch places on the ticket for 2028, as he will be constitutionally ineligible to be either the President or VP, and therefore he cannot lawfully be part of ANY future presidential tickets. This isn’t complicated.
000
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 25/04/2025
Trump doesn’t care. It’s not about truth, it’s about weaponizing the justice department for his own personal gain and using it to go after his enemies. He wants to be a dictator and he is trying to make that happen. He is already selling 2028 gear on his website. This is not a fucking drill.
000
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
We absolutely can and must give everyone a trial, seeing as how it’s kind of the core function of due process. We told you 10 fucking years ago that Trump was a broken man who would use the power of the presidency for malevolent and corrupt personal gain at the expense of the American people.
020
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 20/04/2025
What’s hard to understand about this? The courts must determine Garcia’s fate. We have constitutionally protected rights and that includes due process, which the executive branch is illegally trampling over. The deprivation of due process for anyone is a direct threat to due process for everyone!
000
Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 15/04/2025
Holy fuck, maybe because we have constitutionally guaranteed due process in this country! All of these MAGAs are gaslighting fascists and it’s long past time we treated them as such. constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay...

A fascist would think that an objective, fact-based education is the same as indoctrination. Ignorant, uneducated people are easier to control and manipulate, they always have been. We have a very uneducated population within our electorate, and most of them support Trump. That is no coincidence.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 14/04/2025
Everything Trump touches becomes unequivocally corrupt, and it was inevitable given who he is. Now, unsurprisingly, he is urging the FCC chairman to "impose the maximum fines and punishment" against CBS because he didn't like two recent ‘60 Minutes’ segments. Do Not Obey In Advance @cbsnews.com!

Everyone must fight back now, early and always, 24/7, 365, constantly (non-violently of course), and we must act now in order to hold the line on our democratic rights, principles, and freedoms, or else we’ll have nobody left to hold the line with us later on down the proverbial road.

That’s irrelevant, context determines which definition is applicable. The 2nd definition perfectly defines what Trump is doing as bullshit performance art. Just b/c all human interaction is performative doesn’t mean it is authentic. To describe Trump’s behavior one must look beyond definition #1.

Not that Trump gives a shit about our Constitution, but it’s worth mentioning… Since the ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951, the combination of the 12th & 22nd Amendments make it clear that there are no legal methods for seeking a 3rd term as POTUS. constitution.congress.gov/browse/amend...

Once the door is opened to illegally snatching people off the street and making them disappear, it’s only a matter of time before anyone else the regime doesn’t like will be forcibly disappeared with no due process. Stand up for your rights now or lose them forever.

Ken Thompson 🇺🇸🦅 @kenthompson.bsky.social · 24/03/2025
Partially true, but the issue is that we sadly can’t save some people from themselves. If a certain percentage of our electorate is determined to be willfully ignorant when we have freedom of the press (for now) and take 18+ months to run a presidential election, this problem may not be solvable.
