Trump, speaking after being named "Patriot of the Year" by Fox -- note the Fox "hard news" anchor in the crowd applauding him -- says "we are gonna do things that have been really needed for a long time. And we are gonna look at elections."

IF we'll still have objective, independent fact-based history by the end of the Putin/Trump/Musk anti-truth kleptocracy? Their aim- like all authoritarian states- is to fully rewrite ALL history- to normalize their "oft-repeated antithesis of truth", until we all fall in line, like a flock of sheep.
Russia or North Korea couldn't have staged a better "State Run Media" indoctrination-cast. The Putin/Trump/Musk, anti-truth, anti-democratic, anti-American criminal Fascists who stole control of the USA now want total control over all Americans' "hearts & minds"-- by oft-repeating big fascist lies.
I love Bluesky but WHY does every other fucking post have to be about Trump or one of his fucking scumbag cocksuckers?!?!? I get that we need to talk about the IMPORTANT stuff but stuff like THIS is not important!!! 🤬
That’s why I always recommend people read It Can’t Happen Here. Too many attempts to look at fascism are done with a European color. That book illustrates a very American fascism, so it’s much mire relevant in our current climate than say 1984
Nothing but morons in that room! This orange hair moron already had four years and made life worse! Wtf is up with this country! We already know he is going fuck it up again!
A “Patriot of the Year” who “loves” his country so much that his first choice of AG was a pedo, his DefSec nominee is a lush who assaults women, his HHS Sec is an anti-vaxxer, his DNI nominee in in the tank for Putin, and on and on.
Good luck to all those DNC loyalists that think they're going to vote fascists out of power or that their collaborating alternate fascist party is going to change anything.
@muellershewrote.bsky.social wrote a thread, and maybe posted it here too, about how Garland tried, every step he took, but hit a wall at every turn. Like Cannon delaying the top secret docs case.
Maybe he should have started earlier than 2 years into his term to bring charges. He was too cautious. He have appointed a special counsel literally day one of his job.
That’s what I’m asking too? Everyone just going to hand him the keys and say “go forth” knowing full well what their plans are? Oh I’m sorry “we have to believe in the process” 🤯😬😳
I have two gf that are republicans and they actually brought up that I was not a patriot because I voted democrat. I said what!!?? I am a patriot, why would you say that!? I said I love America!
No, no, no, important distinction to make here: he was made "HONORARY Patriot of the Year" in their stupid made-up award show... and the definition of 'honorary' again is...?
I just found it funny that it implies he's not a real patriot... because he was not, nor will he ever be, a real American.
Reminds me of back in the day when Black dignitaries visiting apartheid South Africa on official government business were conferred with “honorary white” status so they could get around … what a joke.
Awesome. Can we start a special scopophilia gallery of ‘Trump looking at things’?
It might not be as banal as usual politician-looking-at-stuff-PR, but imagine the breath of fresh air it will be. Concentration camps, strip clubs, leper colonies, brown shirt BBQs, political prisoners. It’ll be wild.
“When I was a little boy growing up in Indiana if someone told me as a musician I’d be getting the artist of the millennium award, I’d never have believed it”
There should be a forensic audit. There is too much at stake and with Elon and Putin involved I’m not sure why there is any doubt there was interference and corruption.
These people are fascists. It's scary. They would all turn a blind eye to migrants being put in internment camps, protesters being shot, and political dissidents being executed for treason.
‘Patriot of the Year’? Spare me. Trump talking about 'looking at elections' is code for undermining democracy further. And Fox’s so-called 'hard news' cheering him on? Just more nauseating proof of their agenda. 🤢🤮
He said 1 day voting there. In other words in the middle of the week when it’s hardest for most people to vote. No early vote. No vote by mail. Oh, but the polls will stay open late if you’re in a line several hours long. He will be trying to restrict voting as much as possible.
He's going to do exactly what he's told everyone he's going to do. There should be no surprises for anyone. Elections, as they know them in the US, will be gone. That's what they obviously wanted.
Remind those 77 million Americans who voted for this evil bastard that they voted to end U.S. elections - voted to enslave themselves to billionaires, voted to end their children's/grandchildren's futures.
And we are told we can't question their character, we must understand engage these fuckers, they are good people we must learn to change. Fuck all that.
You can't change people as it takes years to make a person what they are. There was a reason the biblical myth had jews wander the desert for 40 years - to kill off the bad ones.
This is still about President Obama winning in the biggest landslide of the 21st century so far. It triggered a psychotic break in the minds of white supremacists and it never ended. White supremacists are not just loud, violent thugs, they are also everyday people, your coworker, the bus driver etc
*Partly about that. There's multiple related factors, e.g. the Great Replacement theory. The elections since then, e.g. Biden & Harris's 81 million votes, validates their fears about being "replaced." So of course they intend to deport, disenfranchise, m*rder, as many people of color as possible.
The whole DJT campaign was creating, leveraging and exploiting fear. Fear of DEI, of crime (which is way down in most places), fear of immigrants and anything different from the White bigots. Fear of inflation is also part and parcel of that appeal to what is lowest in human beings.
& women. That's what the abortion ban is really about! It's government sponsered pre mediated murder! They don't want women voting. There's more women than men. They're gonna fix that!
THIS. I need people to see the bigger picture. I've been struggling to find the correct phrase when explaining all this. 'Demographic manipulation' isn't quite right. I'm not sure about 'genocide' either.
Putin fits into this because he does not want American democracy, he just wants a leader who will allow him to get away with colonizing European countries and whatever else he has planned. There's a symbiotic relationship between him and Trump/MAGA Republicans.
The bad news for Putin is that trump's becoming more & more senile & unstable. We all saw it on the campaign trail. And his MAGA cult DGAF about anyone else, so once he's outta the picture, they'll have no reason to care. Vance is DREAMING if he thinks he'll inherit that power. MAGA's gonna collapse
Yep, and it goes much deeper than that. It's exhaustive to talk about but the number one thing to remember is that The People have a lot more power than we realize. Their little group WANTS you to be scared.
If we haven't learned anything in the last 48 hours about what ONE man and a collective can do (Anthem), then we haven't been paying attention. It's time to pay attention to the power we have and use it. Kamala reminded us of this too
The MAGA cult may have the opportunity to FINALLY burn out in the next few years. The economic ruin will drive normie, independent voters away & the cult won't be motivated to show up if trump's no longer in the picture. Hell-O Kamala 2028!
Yes. People keep talking about DOGE, but they don't mention this basic fact: the average person doesn't care about Elon's explanations or long-term vision, whether he's being sincere or not (he isn't!), if the DOGE reduces their quality of life, they will hate it, they will hate Trump's presidency
I'm sorry - did I miss all the previous "Patriot of the Year" awards? Or is this another bullshit "reward" they made up just for Trump so all his boot lickers can fawn all over him?
Going to look at elections from the standpoint of not needing them. Many people have said Sir, Sir, why must we vote? With tears in their eyes. So we are looking at stopping all that.
They labeled him as “President DJT.” He is not the president. He is president-elect. FOX is nothing more than the American version of state run tv. Pravda, my foot!
Generally in the U.S., correct usage in text is to refer to a former president as "former president X" while referring to the current president as "President X".
Eg: "Today, former president X walked his dog" vs "Today, President X walked his dog".
Now, in titles the correct usage would be to refer to a former president as "The Hon X, Yth President of the United States", while the current president is "The Hon X, President of the United States".
The title of "the honorable" is for life for any president.
But finally, when addressing the current president, the correct address is "Mr/Mme President"; for a former president, the correct address is "Mr/Mrs/Ms X".
"President X" for former presidents is only by courtesy and is actually incorrect—"Mr/Mme President" for a former president especially so!

getting ready to never allow them again.

I bet he wants them counted as soon as the polls close too.
He's sofa king stooopid!
It's just that he's a Russian patriot foisted on us to destroy Western Democracy.
Which means I have to stop paying attention to the news.
Brain washed.
I just found it funny that it implies he's not a real patriot... because he was not, nor will he ever be, a real American.
“No, you’re not REALLY a patriot, and you don’t actually deserve the title, but …”
It might not be as banal as usual politician-looking-at-stuff-PR, but imagine the breath of fresh air it will be. Concentration camps, strip clubs, leper colonies, brown shirt BBQs, political prisoners. It’ll be wild.
Traitor to the country.
And we can’t say he didn’t literally tell us that was the plan.

It’s a participation trophy for the stable genius.
Is he dead yet?
And it never prevented propaganda anyway.
It’s what they do in North Korea.
Can't deal with this shit!
What part of laws don't apply to him did you miss?
I have 9 years experience and feel confident in that assertion.
I'd love for us to be wrong but I don't think we will be.
But that does not excuse them for disregarding Trump’s open racism, criminal record, and calls for fascism.
I really feel sorry for many, but truly angry at a few.
I hate sycophants …

Listen Closely: No elections in 2026 or beyond, and no DNC politician will challenge that (they've all been all-in on cooperating, from the top down.)
I do not understand this.
Well, now I know. 🤷♂️
You're gonna be sorry....🎵🎶
Good Times Ahead 🫠

We will live under a dictatorship
