Trump’s “Pope image” wasn’t just trolling—though it certainly was that. It was also a display of narcissistic power. A message: I can mock your faith, and you’ll still serve me. He’s made his disdain for Christians clear over the years.

Plain and simple. This is ethnic cleaning, a crime that cries out to God. Trump thinks he can displace an entire civilization, and turn it into an opportunity for real estate development. Absolutely disgusting!

Honestly my apple watch hasn’t once taken my temperature while on the flu but it has yelled at me several times to stand up or get my activity rings closed. 0 outta 10 for the apple watch flu experience

Whew I remember when Kamala was supposedly anti Catholic for questions about the Knights of Columbus. This is awkward…

Maybe the Republican representatives who want to serve as capitol tour guides for the pardoned J6 hostages will provide them with toilet paper this time.

The problem with Trump doing so many awful things at once is that each thing can’t get the attention and pushback that it deserves. They know this and it’s a calculated move. When the dust settles, all that happens is that egregiously immoral things become normalized and we simply get used to it.

Shortly after Trump pardons Proud Boys leader, Musk makes a nazi salute at a rally. This is the headline. Anything else is gaslighting.

When you were growing up, what did you imagine you would do if nazis invaded your country? That is probably still your best guide for what you ought to do now.

I cannot emphasize enough that the next election is NOT in four years, but in two. 2026 elections are crucial to reign in this authoritarian power.

Mental health counseling side of me, checking in. I’ve taken several exercise breaks that have helped so much more than I thought they would the last few days. I don’t care what your thing is that makes you feel better for a bit, but DO that thing today.

Wait, so it was too cold to have the inauguration outside, but they had people literally camped out overnight in the freezing temperatures for the “watch party.” Make it make sense.

Sure enough when you google “Trump” you immediately see several articles on TikTok and not the billions he made yesterday with his corrupt bitcoin.

This almost feels like a stunt to see how gullible the American people are. And yet, I’m sure they will still fail and praise Trump.

Social media is distinct from any form of press in history bc of its potential to change brain structure and neurological pathways, functioning more like an addiction. Newspapers of 20C were certainly used as propaganda but not quite like this. Trumps influence of these platforms is so dangerous.

Incredibly concerning that in its message to all 150 million users, TikTok decided to credit Trump for saving TikTok. Reminds me of the signing of gov checks manipulation. On the heels of Bidens warning about the dismantling of free press, I smell a rat, a big fat ugly rat. What are yalls thoughts?

They're going to have a long 4yrs of learning they were his stooges not his constituents. Or, deportations and other distractions will mollify them while he and others keep picking their pockets. One or the other. www.thedailybeast.com/magaers-mad-...

Interesting that TikTok shuts down tonight despite Bidens actions to prolong it, and TikTok CEO will be front and center at Trumps inauguration. It’s almost like this is a temporary shut down, really a stunt for Trump to look like a savior of free speech while he works to dismantle free press.

Jasmine Crockett stated that Republicans on the other side of the aisle are just “cosplaying”- that they don’t even believe the things that they say but they’re acting for the role. She is just so incredibly correct.

The frustrating part about watching these Senate confirmation hearings is that they don’t matter. At all. The candidates are clearly the lowest bar both in competence and integrity, the hearings show it clear as day, but it literally doesn’t matter.
