This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Oh, THISSSSSSS

Truth

Well…. They aren’t Lying! Are they? 🤨🤨🤨

It may be a cartoon but it’s true. He gets away with so much.

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.

The U.S. government already knows how to be ruthless. Never forget that. This photo of a man on a mountain of bison skulls has circulated for years. Biologist Victor Scheffer said it best: “Nature needs millions of years to create a species; man needs only a few dozen to destroy one.”

Wow, I never knew he said this. Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

“Why don’t you stick to acting?” It’s a taunt I often have hurled at me. I am a gay man in America whose marriage is under threat. The last time Trump was in office, hate crimes against AAPIs skyrocketed. I care deeply about this country and the future of our democracy. I’ll stick to activism.

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump. "So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

A democracy cannot function properly under threats of violence, where any dissent comes with the risk of physical retaliation. That describes Russia, and not America as we have known it. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/donald-tru...
