He is not the ā€œhead of the governmentā€. He’s the head of a fascist regime hellbent on taking down our government, and the American people along with it. He doesn’t care if we remain number one in anything other than wealth disparity.

Honestly though, fuck Melinda Gates. She and her husband, along with every other American billionaire, are complicit in practically every problem the world is facing today.

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

I think we should have work requirements for the presidency. Limits on golf trips, a mandatory amount of hours worked per week, and clearly defined metrics for their success. If they fail to meet these requirements, they lose their job and the benefits that come with it.

I don’t understand how people don’t believe that #ACAB. If most were decent people, there would be so much internal pushback on the atrocities committed by the police, that the system would change on its own. Police departments attract the very people who want to be in positions of power. 1/2

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the ā€œdomestic terrorismā€ they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

And Clinton wasn’t exactly an example of a perfect human being. How far we’ve fallen…

Just had a debate with my aunt which highlighted for me the importance of this message: If you’re aren’t concerned about them coming for immigrants, and trans people, and gay people, and born citizens of minority descent, don’t be surprised when they come for you and you stand alone.

The winners of the Super Bowl hate him and didn’t want to visit the White House, so now he’s forcing the entire league to visit the Capital.

That’s the thing, the President isn’t supposed to be able to unilaterally do almost anything. There are distinct limits to what can be done by executive order, and Trump has crossed that line almost every day that he’s been in office. The fucker should have been behind bars months (years) ago.

And any sitting member of Congress or the Senate who is unwilling to impeach and remove said President is also betraying their oath of office to defend and uphold the constitution. They are unfit to hold their positions and should be removed as well.

If you told me the sole item on Trump's domestic policy agenda was to find every endangered animal in the United States and euthanize it, it would make as much sense to me as the current Trump domestic policy agenda, which seems to have no relationship whatsoever to anything any normal person wants

There is nothing that Trump or his administration could possibly do that will get me to bend the knee. I am not afraid. I am not backing down. I will never surrender to authoritarianism. He will die eventually, and I’ll know that I was on the right side of history all along.

You know what? Being anti-Trump is actually the most patriotic thing you can be. Fuck that fascist.

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

A better copy!

Do you know how catastrophically awful you have to be for Amazon to have the moral high ground?!?!??

THIS is what all of our Democratic politicians should be saying. Loudly. Unequivocally. It’s time to castigate the fucker.
