I think Stephen Colbert should be the fill-in host for all the nighttime comedians, when they go on vacation.

Dear #Ukraine, Most Americans are appalled by 45's behavior, which does not reflect our nation's true sentiments. We stand with you in solidarity. We recognize the injustice you face. 45's actions are a stain on our diplomacy, but they do not define our collective heart. #SlavaUkraini

Marjorie Taylor Greene says federal workers "don’t deserve their jobs or paychecks" She still collects the taxpayer-funded $174K salary to spew nonsense. If federal jobs aren’t “real,” does that include hers? Or is hypocrisy just another government benefit? #MTG #Cuts #DOGE #PresidentElon
Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing her best to become legendary as the dumbest representative to ever be elected to the House.  Fair use image.

45’s alleged 1987 KGB codename “Krasnov” from his meeting with the #KGB during a "scouting trip for a "hotel". The Daily Beast published, then yanked, the story; No word yet. The GOP’s top guy has been bowing to #Russia for decades. At what point do we just call it what it is? #Krasnov #Trump

45’s #WhiteHouse declaring “Long live the king” isn’t just a meme. It’s a warning. This wannabe #dictator SCREAMING his intentions; his cult cheers as democracy burns. America fought a revolution to escape a #king. The #GOP crowns one. If this doesn’t terrify you, you’re not paying attention.

Accountability? Deleted. 45 just killed the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, erasing records of police misconduct. What we can't see can't hurt us, right? Wrong. Blind trust isn’t trust, it’s surrender. And that’s exactly the point. ##PoliceAccountability #Corruption #BLM

Please stay safe and, if possible, STAY OUT OF THE AIR! With aviation safety standards deteriorating and multiple crashes in just weeks, it's clear that flying is dangerous. The consequences of staff cuts and deregulation are showing. Take care, stay grounded if you can, and be safe. ✈️⚠️

I agree, as per usual. One advantage we have is that 45's incompetence will bring with it fast and dramatic negative results. 45's supporters will feel the consequences of 45's actions. This change will NOT happen gradually, but within weeks. This will split his following.

First, #Elon fired the people that maintain our #NUCLEAR ARSENAL, then scrambled to hire them back; But didn't have any way of contacting them when they cut off their government email. Now, they have done the same with people who were fighting the #H1N1 #Birdflu. How many times must we do this?

Just like the Nazi salute that we all saw but we are told to believe that we didn't see; Every white supremacist and Nazi in our country counted those flags and know exactly what Elon is trying to say. This is what we refer to as a dog whistle.

Exactly 14 American flags? Really? Still throwing Nazi signs? 14 is significant in the white supremacist world. It is often associated with a slogan known as the "14 Words," a white nationalist phrase: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." #dogwhistle

For the kids in the back, Trump is quoting Napoleon Bonaparte, who illegally seized France; with the help of his brother Lucien and other allies, staged a bloodless coup that overthrew the French Directory and named himself emperor. Our president considers him a role model.

45: "He who saves his country does not violate any law" Pure authoritarian rot. That’s not patriotism; it’s the mantra of EVERY #dictator in history. The #Constitution is the #law. No one, especially a wannabe tyrant, is above it. If you break laws to “save” a nation, you’re destroying it.
