We would have said “it’s unlikely to happen” for a president to become a despotic king just a short time ago, too, but here we are. The SCOTUS said he can do anything he wants, and he is doing exactly that. What’s going to stop him?

Trump is but one man. This is the Republican Party acting in treasonous unison that is destroying the foundations of American wealth and power in such a way that it will be impossible to rebuild.

My cat’s absolute *favorite* toy in the whole wide world is a plastic drinking straw from a takeout cup. He will steal it while I am still using it, if he can, and after I am done that thing is gone!

Maybe instead of supporting the Trump Tariffs this piece of crap should have spoke out against it then. Dimon bending the knee to Trump and now trying to backpedal is no more a good look than abusing his employees was.

Not new, this is not something that was unexpected, it is just an example of how this disease has grown and developed and learned how to get stronger and more powerful. Until the US actually deals with this, instead of whitewashing it and glorifying it, this will never end. Trump is a symptom.

This will only continue! The horrors we subjected the Native Americans to, the Witch Trials, Slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Eugenics, Japanese Internment, Racism, Tuskegee Experiments, Police Violence against Black folks, Imprisonment, Medical care outcomes, just off the top of my head. This is

It DOES go deeper than Trump and the current mess! This is something that is in the very foundations of the USA, it was here before we even considered becoming a country! It continues to raise its head on a regular basis. Until we deal with the TRUTH of our history, which Trump is trying to hide,

The only thing that they had accusing him of being a member of this gang was some document filled out by a US cop that claimed that he was. Literally not a single shred of actual evidence but the fevered imagination of a cop that never charged him with anything anyway!

US scientists are forbidden to communicate with Canadian counterparts. Funds are frozen and research deleted on joint projects such as Great Lakes research.
Canada and France are both encouraging US scientists to apply for residency and research positions.

I really hope that he will be held accountable for once in his life, that SOMEONE will make him actually face some consequences, but you have to understand how hard it is to have any faith that it’ll actually happen. He literally tried to overthrow the gov’t and his coronation is in a few days.

Not disagreeing that the courts will try to hold him accountable, but he has the next 4 years to say that he is too busy “leading” the country, he is 77 years old, his typical pattern has been to just keep throwing his lawyers at people that try to hold him accountable and to simply not pay.

Every time someone says that I tell them that Queen Elizabeth would like a word…both of them. Not to mention Queen Victoria. Catherine the Great. Margaret Thatcher. Angela Merkel. Oh hell…here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

It is not as drapey (is that a word?) as acrylic, I would say it has some body, it actually makes finding and counting stitches easier. I think it also helps you to hold a good tension, which is so important for beginners, and took me years to learn. LOL I really love it.

Since when? Using religion for political gain has been literally the point of every religion that humanity has managed to dream up since the first human pointed at the stars and told other humans that some mythical being told them that they are chosen to be in charge of everyone else!

He used Jesus to be able to claim “forgiveness” and claim to be a “new man” because his history is so disgusting and despicable. Now, he’s a Christian Nationalist, and has the tattoos and martyr complex to prove it!
