Would love to see the full text of the latest Time interview of TACO — Anyone have a link to share? 🙏 — but in the meantime, snippets of his declining mental faculties continue to appear…

Here’s a very hopeful note as we move into the trenches for the midterms and whatever chaos follows the election results…maintaining civil, speaking relations with the other side is always good for long-term peace…& an excellent mechanism is already there, and working! 🤜🤛

Never lose sight of the fact that 89M Americans…37% of eligible voters…didn’t vote in 2024; that’s a lot of people & they’re all living somewhere around America Motivate that group…& anything’s possible Move political America to actually represent “We the people”…wouldn’t that be delightful?!? 🤜🤛

Sadly…for now…between Citizens United & presidential immunity SCOTUS turned America away from “We the people” …& TACO is turning America into a plutocracy…ruled by the wealthy The midterms present a precarious opportunity for Americans to express themselves w/real power to change direction…VOTE🤜🤛

Time’s almost up people! Given the GOP’s efforts to purge voter rolls, everyone should check their registration status…& reach out if you know someone who may not be registered Turnout is our friend…& a poor turnout is our nightmare… GET OUT THE VOTES! 🤜🤛

The stakes involved in the midterms keep growing more serious... Failing in the midterms is just too ugly to contemplate...and this should further motivate all of us to work harder...act locally; reach out to non-voters to show them the real risks of not voting; vote early...GET OUT THE VOTES!

An interesting read, esp'ly for Texans, but also for the rest of us as it approaches the what-happens-immediately-after-the-election issue...my take-aways: - Big turnout is vital...a solid victory is much more difficult to challenge - Vote early wherever possible to allow confirmation of yr vote

Why top Texas election denier Ken Paxton could cause chaos if he loses his Senate race
Ken Paxton has election interference tools and he’s proven his willingness to use them. But legal experts are confident that courts are up to the task of protecting the will of the voters.

We may be about to see a real-time test of the Oath taken by every US military Officer… “I will support & defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign & domestic” Has Kegsbreath neutered that Oath as applied to the Constitution’s election process? We’ll soon see…

Absolutely…do NOT get complacent…in fact, work even harder! Act locally…reach out to non-voters…vote early wherever possible They will definitely try to control the outcome…before, during & after voting Imagine how bad it will feel if, after all these polls, turnout fails us😩 GET OUT THE VOTES🤜🤛

Anyone able to share the Time magazine TACO interview? The interview was 5 days ago & @hcrichardson.bsky.social synopsis suggests the Time report is a dramatic illustration of TACO’s mental decline…such that it needs to go viral, along with the question of who’s actually running the White House?

The battle grounds are spreading, in a good way for American democracy, but… We each need to put ‘shoulders to the wheel’…act locally…reach out to non-voters; show them the very real risks (tariff inflation, more corruption, more ego-driven waste, war!) of not voting GET OUT THE VOTES!! 🤜🤛

TACO’s declining mental acuity is further shown by his campaign agenda…only visiting solid Red states (where he won by double digits) because he’s craving approval, even more than before & in spite of such agenda not moving overall pre-election approval Fun fact…solid Red aren’t so solid any more👌

The whole “successful businessman” myth continues to astound me…all built on a “reality” TV show when anyone w/even a modest IQ knows it’s not reality…& yet it’s now boilerplate MAGA mantra It sure supports TACO’s overall approach…keep-telling-lies-&-people-will-believe-them

Here’s a top candidate for the Understatement-of-the-year Award… Fed’l Judge Stanley Bastian Reinstating the prosecutor TACO sacked, Judge Bastian said that it was “in the public’s interest to have the executive branch follow the law.” We live in hope for the day when that becomes normal again🙏

Fascinating article...long, but thorough & w/rare insights into the huge but often-enigmatic Chinese economy Americans may see the parallel between China's "six networks" infrastructure splurge & the 1930's US New Deal; the latter hugely boosted the US...expect similar benefits for China

It’s becoming clearer every day that those particular pardons…distinguishing themselves from all the rest of TACO’s pardons-for-pay…were to further establish TACO’s private militias…in case Kegsbreath is unable to move the military to do TACO’s bidding The midterms will see more about this

Now even the ultra-conservative American Bar Association is prepared to state what’s becoming obvious to the whole world… America now looks exactly like a monarchy…with a totally corrupt king C’mon Americans…get out the votes…a great Constitutional structure’s still there, but YOU MUST VOTE!! 🤜🤛

Loving the way the MAGA GOP is climbing onto the flog-Jack Smith bandwagon, bringing more focus onto his testimony with the midterms only a month away…kinda reminds me of TACO’s “Vote like I’m on the ballot” Careful what you wish for MAGA… …& for the rest of us… GET OUT THE VOTES! 🤜🤛

…& how many murdered on the high seas? …& how many simply disappeared from ICE custody, with no records of their disposition or current status? Those are the deaths at the hands of this vile administration…now add thousands of unlawful detentions …& MAGA wonders why we compare them to the NAZI’s🤔

So…after breaking many of his own signed Agreements, now TACO’s spruiking a new AI Agreement that’s “morally binding”…but we all know TACO’s idea of “morally” is whatever makes him more wealthy Ah well, this is only about AI…what could possibly go wrong?
