So, who's he gonna name to replace Bondi? You know it'll someone equally as bad or worse (and you know Fetterman will vote to confirm). And, will he make up some some position for her like he did for Noem?

We truly should have a bingo card for all the shit trump will mention tonight that nothing whatsoever to do with Iran. Voting, Venezuela, sharpies, ballrooms, you name it. . .

It just leaves a person speechless, even when you're alone talking to yourself. We live in the most distopian yet idiotic timeline right now in America.

I'm guessing Bibi has promised trump Gaza in exchange for trump attacking Iran. Trump is a transactional absolutist.

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE: CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely! “I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.” This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

We'll see how this plays out, but it would seem a new ICE strategy is simply 'shoot people in cars and claim self defense'.

I can't imagine ICE getting anything but much worse now. They have a free ticket to murder anyone they want now - and record it while doing it. What you want to bet that the video that the murderer made of his execution of a fellow American is already out their in dark corners of the internet.

Most disturbing besides Rand Paul and Thomas Massie who I have previously disdained, ALL Republicans seem to be 100% on board with with trump. All of them are complicit in turning the U.S. into everything we have always stood strong against.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Impeachment talk is ridiculous, just stop with it already, super tiresome.

I think that these protests and the Tesla protests are perfect (except for the people doing damage to Teskas or dealerships). These show the vast number of people willing to act but are perfectly peaceful. Doesn't give trump the excuse to enact Marshall law (yet).

I feel like the Florida seats coming up in special elections are another 2-fold disaster for Democrats. 1 - they'll lose badly, 2- they lose even more support for being so wrong (again) and leaving a LOT of potential supporters with no viable alternative.

How close are we? So hard to tell. It's all fits and starts, but over just periods of hours and days, not days and weeks, certainly not month(s) at this point.

So, do we even need to do our taxes this year? - or ever again for that matter?

So all you pundits screaming at us to 'do something'. What are you doing? I mean besides yelling at us and writing your blogs and broadcasting your podcasts? Should we all also start blogging and podcasting and yelling at everyone to 'do something'? What exactly are you doing?

We're looking at trump winning again in '28 with 95% of the vote, aren't we. (If we get a vote at all).

The person keeping you from dying from Listeria is a federal employee. The person making sure your plane doesn’t fall out of the sky is a federal employee. The person busting up drug rings is a federal employee. The person prosecuting terrorists is a federal employee.

He's got so goddamn much money, he doesn't need the money. This is about making sure that money is not in someone else's hands. He becomes richer by comparison to us stooges who are being robbed.

Okay, by week's end Dems better be putting it out in every available medium channel that the price increases and job losses are 1000% trump and Republicans(magats). Stretch the truth, tell some lies, whatever it takes, smear them with this till you hurt from the effort.

All these Democrat solicitations for money for one race or another are falling on deaf ears. I am not considering them as some 'default' option. STFU if u think I should be. Show me why, THEN you get my attention and support.

What even is the reason for the tariffs on Canada? Is this out of spite because they don't want be part of trump's U.S.? Pressure to be a part? What the hell is this even about?

Hey, some of aren't podcasters, or substackers, or otherwise making a livelihood off trumps heinousness. Some of are going to take a little more time to get back on track. Quit chastising us day in and day out about hopelessness. Severing ties with us is not any means to success for any of us.

/thread I don't understand the wish-casting by left-leaning pundits who say Trump is vulnerable. Who is gping to hold him accountable and how? If allowed to, we 'might' be able to vote him out IN 4 YEARS! But until then there is no means to hold him accountable.

There is a massive dearth of imagination about how bad it already is and even more so about how bad it's going to get. There are no guardrails - none.
