Republicans Against Trumpism @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
10 years ago today GOP Sen. Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter…the way Mr Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world”

How I arrived here.
Dark hallway in the White House, decorated for holidays by Melania Trump. The hallway's both sides are lined with to-the-ceiling tall stands of tree branches in tall pots that are lit from below giving the whole place a very spooky, murder vibe/ The dim ceiling lamps lead down the hally where a decorated and lit Christmas tree stands. Alone. In the dark. Good luck, America.

Trump's press ban is also an attempt to limit Trump's spontaneous vulnerability: He's libel to speak too off-the-cuff, be too reactive, esp in small spaces. With a smaller scrum of friendlies, Trump can appear to be as accessible and transparent as he claims. His media hits become Trump productions.
