These headlines are absurd. They should be more honest, "Trump steals money that Congress lawfully appropriated to go to Ukraine, and instead sends to South America, to buy influence."

Good lord. Would it be so hard to pick up a history book?

Cry me a river. I’d feel bad if all of this weren’t utterly predictable.

Wait until you see all the National guardsmen loafing about. It's so wasteful of money, and so disrespectful to them and their service. It is rage-inducing. If he actually put up his arch, I might have to move.

Right?! But, I expect him to act the way he does. All the people who bow down and kiss the ring (congressional leaders first, but not solely) are the one who kill me. They just bow to his every whim… it’s mind blowing. Him without a following would be powerless.

Yes, agree. Although - if we take a cynical view of the profession, we were started to propagate racist ideals and call it “justice” - but… I might be getting more and more cynical with every day of this administration.

I think his two presidencies are full of, "I can't believe he is still president." * mocking disabled reporter *grab them by the p_ssy" * tearing kids away from parents - immigration *shooting tear gas at citizens *Jan 6 And that was all just his first term. Ugh

He doesn’t care. Everything about him is about the current show - he couldn’t care less about the future. Look what he is doing to the earth!

I think the percentage going to the top is higher now - but yes, pretty much the same.

He is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins - that must be what they mean.

I have been wondering the same! So odd - Trump kidnaps a foreign leader - and then we are back to "business as usual." (not that any of this is usual)

Good lord. Every accusation is a confession - and this one tops the list.

It seems that articles like this seek to dissuade legal action - which I'm guessing might be the point (and sorry in advance for my jaded view but legacy outlets seem to be largely compromised).

How do you go from this award to firing your entire political desk? It doesn't make sense.

100% agree. How in the world do you think anything that he does is acceptable? But - I still see plenty of people arguing fervently for him. Beyond baffling!

It's so fascinating when people are so unabashedly proud of their ignorance. That's sort of Tump's and his administration's signature dish.

She is spineless. She had continuously capitulated to Trump since he came back.

I hear Trumpy is planning on marching the streets tonight. I'm of two minds - either everyone just carries on with their life (because he hates being ignored) or thousands of smoke bombs are dropped downtown. My preference would be the latter - but, I also don't want anyone getting hurt.

Do you ever feel complete despair about how many people are completely silent about what is happening in this country? Such a travesty.

livingtranquilo.bsky.social @livingtranquilo.bsky.social · 16/08/2025
I understand your point in saying this - but, I'm guessing the residents of Ward 7 & 8 don't want to be terrorized by the National Guard any more than any other parts of the city do.

I mean if the "president" is going to act like CA isn't a state, and the speaker is going to follow his lead - I think CA could follow their lead and withhold their taxes. Government is a contract - where people give power in exchange for services. If those services aren't given, well then...

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed after the last 24 hours of horrible news. I have so much empathy for the pain this lawyer is experiencing, and I also can't stop giggling. This makes me as happy as the "cat" lawyer did so many years ago.

Yes! Without due process for some people we are all at risk... and, honestly, white people (myself included) need to be off our asses and in the streets - it's not anyone else's job. Will a constitutional crisis occur? We are there. Full stop. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Judges have a warning about Trump’s rapid deportations: Americans could be next
Judges across the country continue to note that if courts don’t protect the rights of the least popular and most vulnerable, everyone is at risk.

What has happened to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is horrendous - but, he's not alone - he's just the most egregious. We need to bring every immigrant back. Not one of them had due process.

I know this is pie in the sky idea - but, with the erasure of black, brown, indigenous, women profile off of many government websites - it seems like Hollywood has an opportunity to help educate. I never learned about Japanese internments or blood diamonds in school. A whole wealth of stories!

Trump is taking a sledgehammer to the country - but the sad thing is that people who don’t pay attention to politics aren’t going to realize what’s happened until it’s far too late to do anything about it.

Sigh. So much up in flames. Do not submit. Resist. Choose the battles - and resist. (This is a reminder to myself as much as to anyone else).

All the "it's the economy, stupid" people - Putting billionaires in charge of making sure people have enough is bonkers. A visual depiction of why the US is so messed up. mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-weal... Or in video form: www.google.com/search?clien... Sigh. Preaching to the choir.
