And then they came for me

And you could charge $5 each

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

I do not want to make everyone feel worse, but... April 20 is approaching, and on that day Trump will receive a fake report from his leading sycophants on whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act (a fast-track to martial law) over his fake immigration crisis. If it says yes... well, buckle up.

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

Signal-gate and the Social Security scandal show how tyranny works: the regime can do no wrong, and the people have no rights. They claim it wasn't classified info in the chat, but Goldberg can be prosecuted. DOGE doesn't want to disclose their workers names, but wants your social security info.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Solar is still cheaper

Russian patsy

That's a new low

Right here

30 provable facts. Some well known. Others less so. This makes 70M+ voters complicit in the destruction of the USA & democracy (this includes Russia, Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, white supremacists, the GOP, religious bigots, white high school dropouts & billionaires wanting tax cuts)

NEW: a federal judge ruled that Musk's DOGE dismantling of the USAID was unconstitutional, and orders Musk to restore access to their "email, payment, security notification, and all other electronic systems," and halt any further efforts to shut it down.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Great question

Same energy idk.

Russian oil exports surged, as US sanctions on Russia's tanker fleet are showing signs of faltering, with blacklisted vessels sailing from the country's main regional port, per Bloomberg. Nice job Trump the Putin puppet!

Elon fires hundreds of Twitter employees and Twitter goes down. Elon fires air traffic controllers and planes go down. Elon goes on a DOGE rampage and the stock market goes down. Elon regulates his own SpaceX and its starships go down. I'm sensing a pattern.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

Justice for all shouldn't just be words in the pledge of allegiance

True story

Traitors to basic humanity.

Begs the unthinkable question of which side US troops will be on when Europe united against Russia. Will we be fighting NATO?

Putin targeting US citizens wouldn't be enough to dislodge Trump's lips from his ass.

Tadaa.

Back in 2023, Elon Musk infamously posted and reposted a meme falsely claiming Republicans hadn't changed their views in the last decade, while Democrats had moved left. An FT study confirms that was a lie: Democrats are typical for Western democracies, and MAGA and Musk are _nearly off the chart_.

No bone spurs detected.

Today at the “Stand up for Science” demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial.

Ugh

America First? Not in practice

Dear US Media covering Combover Caligula's speech: if you can spell things like: "Disinformation" "Misinformation" "Fibs" "Untruths" "Fabrications" "Demonstrable falsehoods" “Plays loosely w/facts” "Mendacity" "Prevarications” Or "whoppers" Then you're probably able to spell the word “lies.”

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency. via Brett Murphy: The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:

Trump is killing our economy! Under Biden, our economy was the strongest in the world. Now the Trump Slowdown could well turn into a recession! www.cnbc.com/2025/03/05/a...
