sure they would, it's a machine that does it by itself, a program that runs...they do whatever they want, lie about whatever they want, fear no constituent, obviously.

i personally do not think the administration is actually prepared for what happens if they are facing mass protests in every major city in the country

Most voters are emotional, not intellectual. Trump’s base of white men voted for him because he makes them feel superior to women and people of color. If you asked them if they want poor kids to go without dinner, they’d say no, because they think they’re good people. But that's what they voted for.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Elon Musk cleared by Wisconsin court to hand out $1M checks to voters days before a Supreme Court election. Democracy or dystopia? Billionaires rewriting the rules while the rest of us watch the chaos unfold. #WisconsinElection

Current and former U.S. military pilots expressed bewilderment after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information in an unsecured group chat. “If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

The Trump administration invited companies to email the Environmental Protection Agency to seek presidential exemptions from nine clean-air regulations, including mercury limits for power plants and limits on hazardous air pollutants in plastic production by 3/31.

No, it is NOT normal for the President of the United States to find out about American soldiers being killed not from the military -- but from a REPORTER. Trump and his team are UNFIT to serve. They are making America weaker and less safe every single minute they're in office.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory Today in history, 1812: The Boston-Gazette publishes a political cartoon depicting the bizarre shape of electoral districts as a dragon-like monster. The newspaper’s editor likened it to a salamander, and the term “gerrymander” was born. /1
Printed in March 1812, this political cartoon was made in reaction to the newly drawn state senate election district of South Essex created by the Massachusetts legislature to favor the Democratic-Republican Party. Image credit: Artist and engraver Elkanah Tisdale (1771-1835).

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

"If Lutnick's Democratic predecessor, Gina Raimondo, took such a step -- urging Americans to buy stock in a company led by Joe Biden’s top campaign contributor -- it seems likely that more than a few congressional Republicans would call for her resignation..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Why is Trump’s Commerce secretary urging the public to buy Tesla stock?
Howard Lutnick told a national television audience to buy a specific stock tied to the sitting president’s top campaign donor.

I dare you to read this piece in its entirety, and tell me how this makes anyone safer. What it clearly does do is funnel hundreds of millions of our tax $$s to certain corps to kidnap, detain and degrade people for absurd reasons or none at all—in the name of the United States. You ok with this?

More bullshit. Donald Trump, you can’t shut down the Dept. of Education — and you know it. Fox News even knows it. So stop it. We know you’re just trying to wear us out. But for the record, I am not overwhelmed. My zone isn’t flooded. I will fight your illegal behavior until the cows come home.
Fox News page with text from a story that says: Despite Trump's order, the president needs Congress to sign off on eradicating the agency, under Article Il of the U.S. Constitution. Such a measure would require 60 votes to pass in the Senate, and there are only 53
Republicans currently.

Donald Trump just illegally fired two independent commissioners at the FTC who fight big corporations that abuse consumers and workers. Why? Trump's billionaire donors expect a return on their investment. He works for them, not you. The courts must reinstate the commissioners.

So Trump claimed today that Russia has tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded, they would all be dead already if he didn’t get involved, he will save them tomorrow when he talks to Putin, but THERE ARE NO TROOPS SURROUNDED, & tomorrow he will claim he saved them. Wow.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

This is your reminder that the current purge of federal agencies coincides with years of indoctrination by Christian school / homeschool social studies textbooks like Abeka.
"One agency that is especially burdensome to businesses is the EPA."  In the image, a smiling fat EPA official in a suit prevents a young couple from building a home on the land they just purchased.
