This has been going around for some time now. Still waiting. Kinda like the Iranian hackers who were going to release the files if Iran were attacked. Still waiting on that too.

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

I can believe she was never friends with Epstein or Maxwell. Her relationship with them was strictly transactional. Every relationship is for her is transactional. None of these ppl had friends or could be a friend to anyone.

Iran will play trump against Israel. Closing the straits again until Israel stops its aggression in Lebanon is a lever they did not have until now. If trump wants the straits open he’s gonna need to contain Netanyahu, which prolly ain’t gonna happen.

Moral culpability for every act of cruelty, injury and murder also lies with every god-dammed gop voter. They voted for it they fking own it. If you have a trump voter in your life, make the fact of their culpability abundantly clear. Cut them out of your life if you can, and you can.

Fox had an African American man to point this out knowing their audience would be too occupied yelling the N-Word at the screen to actually hear what he’s saying.

Look in the mirror chuck. Your chronic capitulating weakness has been a gift to this regime. You are far more interested in your position than protecting democracy or the constitution. That you sided with trump in endorsing oligarch approved cuomo proves you are not a serious ethical person.

Is the settlement sealed or something? Even settling for pennies on the dollar of 1.3 thousand million dollars will be a huge amount.

Or to take a loyalty oath to trump above the constitution much like the hitler oath German military had to take in the ‘30’s and ‘40’s. To refuse could end careers thereby clearing out those whose loyalty is to the constitution.

This is a sign of desperation from Trump. Hopefully will backfire like many of his previous desperate attempts. I can’t help but think this is comeys comeuppance. He threw a spanner into the wheels of democracy because of his partisanship in 2016. He helped usher in trumps America. Serves him right.

It’s a mystery to me. I deleted my 🐦 ages ago. I was told to delete all posts and activity, remove all potentially identifying profile info and change username to nonsense before deleting. No one of good conscience should be using it.

It costs taxpayers $89,425 to incarcerate one person at Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” per year. That’s more than what 95% of Americans spend on housing and food. Republican priorities: Waste tax dollars torturing immigrants, while cutting support for working class families.

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Bonhoeffer has been proven right. Stupidity is more dangerous to the good than evil. Stupidity cannot be reasoned with and use of force has no effect upon it.

Phoenix AZ today at the State Capital. Vid doesn’t really capture the size of the crowd but the energy was wonderful! My favorite sign, which I didn’t get a pic of unfortunately was “It’s 107 degrees but still don’t want ICE.”

MSM or Corporate Media if you prefer, is in the bag for trump. Always have been. The chaos, the controversy, the outrage, the fascism make for great ratings and profits. They’ve no interest in telling truth to power, in performing their constitutional duty, but only in the next quarters report.

Sorry to learn that. I cut one of my sisters out. Not that she’s full blown Nazi but voting for trump is just the tip of an iceberg of moral rot. I’m done trying to understand or persuade. Cutting her out of my life is just a consequence she’ll have to accept.
