What happens when a country willingly gives power to the man who already tried to take it by force? Well, we’re about to find out, aren’t we?!

I’ll support a chair for DNC who’s willing to stop playing chess in a boxing match

So, according to MAGA - Joe Biden pardoning his convicted felon son is disqualifying, but Donald Trump BEING a convicted felon is not? Do I have that about right?

"Nancy Mace often tailors her positions and entire persona depending on where she's booked. In an especially egregious example from 2021, Mace praised vaccines during a CNN interview but promoted 'natural immunity' on Fox News, both on the same day."

He convinced the stupid voters of this…..

Accurate.

Jeffrey Toobin: “Biden’s pardon for his son dishonors the office.“ I am so sick of these fucking talking heads. I am so sick of CNN. I am so sick of these self defeating assholes. Our freedom is on the line and these guys are in-fucking-capable of focusing on what’s at stake. FUCK.

Honestly don't care about Biden pardoning his son. Norms are wrecked right now and Trump is nominating people who he literally and openly has said will go after political rivals and the media. Anyone outraged over it is living in a prior time when America was functional and norms existed.

Jeff Tiedrich for the win:

New Rule: You shall not complain about Hunter Biden's pardon on my feed unless you also admit the Supreme Court pardoned Trump for a coup.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

What Trumpism did was provide a way for deeply unhappy people to spend their time instead of doing anything to change their circumstances It's like meth in the form of a so-called "political movement" Some brief kicks, but your teeth will probably fall out because the DHHS Secretary hates fluoride

I don’t care how many cases against him get dropped, delayed or buried. He’s guilty as sin and the whole world knows it.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system. He had help. It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms. Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court. 70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon. There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

When I (perhaps inexplicably) went on HBO in 2019 to talk to Bill Maher, the focus of my one-on-one interview was on how Trump-era scandals occur in plain view and—paradoxically—for that reason are not believed. The WSJ reports years of secret Putin-Musk calls. Then Musk bought Trump a presidency.

To grab the limelight, Nancy Mace has targeted Sarah McBride, the nation’s first elected trans House member. The vitriol from Mace has been contemptible. This is in sharp contrast with McBride, who has acted commendably and with grace. And ironically, McBride now has high national visibility.

Pass it on: Bluesky is fast becoming a powerhouse.

You feel me?

Amazing how easy it is for a country to uphold rule of law when it gives a s***

Donald Trump choosing Sebastian Gorka as senior director for counterterrorism is just another indicator of the unserious, radicalized and conspiratorial gobsites pushing our country towards oblivion. These picks are catastrophic. Dangerous trolls and unserious minds.

Nancy Mace’s former communications director who has spoken out against her before and basically fled her office because Mace is just a horrible, awful person.

Any Questions?! 👇

Raw unvarnished truth here.

Americans didn’t want another old president so they elected a 78-year-old. Americans wanted to end crime so they elected a criminal. Keep it going lol

I’m still trying to understand how 49% of American voters thought that Trump was the right choice to run the country. Turns out, voters want chaos and this will not make America great. No candidate received at least 50% of voter support; a low point in American politics and our decisions.

Wouldn't it be swell if Nancy Mace defended women from rapists and sex traffickers in her own party as fiercely as she is defending the Capitol bathroom?

“They’re pointing the finger at everyone else but not taking any responsibility. This election proves what I’ve been saying for years. I can summarise American politics in one sentence. Republicans have no principles, Democrats have no spine.” - Allan Lichtman

Noticing a substantial increase in right wing trolls on the platform. I’m glad the platform is growing and is definitely better than Twitter, but if it doesn’t get control of the hate content, it will be no better.

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 👇

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.
