Reading the news...and I have to say... The GOP seems to be comprised of mostly people who do not give a flip about anyone else; it saddens me because they didn't use to be this way. But now? To quote their narcissist in charge ..."at levels never seen before."

The current WH administration has done incredible damage to so many people. I am so disappointed that so many of the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social went to the WH. Yuk around with a wanna-be dictator? Stay away? It shouldn't have even been a question.

"The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed on Tuesday that the Trump administration is considering pathways to deport citizens as well. - The Guardian 4/13/2025 One has to ask Congress as to where the bridge too far for THEM actually is. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"They" didn't care... - when they rounded up immigrants and shipped them off without due process. - when Tr*p, M*k, and DOGE took wrecking balls to systems and services that protect us, our health, our kids. ...UNTIL their gods hit their pocketbooks. They are just greedy little whiners.

T*p has proven he has no integrity and seems honoring negotiations or promises is optional. Why would any business, large or small (or the rest of us), bet on him & invest money in building new/refurbishing manufacturing sites in the United States? He thinks most of us are that stupid.

Lest we forget...in 1776, our country chose to no longer bow to a monarchy. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

"Gentlemen, he may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot. But don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot." - Firefly (G. Marx), Duck Soup, 1933; banned by Mussolini. Well...if the shoe fits. Frankly, the tariff calcuations & and putting tariffs on islands w/no humans seem to fit.

@fetterman.senate.gov ...where are you? Why aren't you helping Cory Booker? It's time to choose: courage or cowardice. Which is it?

I am so fed up with white Christian patriarchy...and those cowards in Congress are not only enabling its propagation, they want us to go back to when we groveled to a king. If they spent as much time fight for democracy than they do kissing T's ass, we'd wouldn't be in this place.

They were hired because they were white...and because they are "Yes" people. In reality...they are unqualified imbeciles and f*king morons...just like their white savior.

The "white nationalism" slip of this administration is showing. www.npr.org/2025/03/14/g...

TikTok is only for viral dances and kid pranks which is why this extremely dry @fahrenthold.bsky.social talking-head breakdown of DOGE code changes and erroneous contracts has been viewed there 1.6 million times www.tiktok.com/@nytimes/vid...

@philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social As a Philadelphian, I am incredibly disappointed that you are going to the White House. 'Nuff said.

The rhetorical question: "Are they just all stupid?" The sad reality...Yes.

Sometimes we grow up thinking there are monsters under the bed...and really, sometimes they are. As bad as the monsters under the bed are, they are not nearly as monstrous as those in the White House. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

John Roberts... 30 pieces of silver was the going rate for betraying Jesus; what was the price for throwing the rule of law, and our democracy, under the bus? www.yahoo.com/news/donald-...

We don't need no-stinkin' enemies...'specially since we've got "friends" like those occupying the WH and Congress. Nuff' said.

I LOVE my country...even with all it's flaws...but I am ashamed of those who represent us. “We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,“Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution”. National Cathedral, March 31st, 1968.

"What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." - Dan Quayle, 1989 Pigs must be flying. Quoting Dan Quayle's mangling of the UNCF's slogan. Now, it seems apropro for those rationalizing Tr_mp, et al.

This song was written by Lauren Lane Powell, a woman who danced with cancer for 7 years. President Zelensky came face to face today with a different kind of cancer...and it was US. Sending this song out to President Zelinsky and the people of Ukraine. youtu.be/bzlWyML0nL0?...

Not only are the Republicans ready to let their constituents die, they are onboard with letting those in other countries die...and reigniting polio, malaria, HIV, and starvation as the means.

On the other platform, I pushed at politicians (read Republicans) who said they were pro-life. Last night the Republicans proved they are not only NOT pro-life, it seems they are quite okay with killing their own constituents.

They are not looking for the best and brightest...they are looking for white men without backbones. Seems they are so much easier to control. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

@fetterman.senate.gov @davemccormick.bsky.social ck.bsky.social @repdwightevans.bsky.social It's way past time for you to step and be brave. Elmer Davis was right..."This republic was not established by cowards; and cowards will not preserve it.”

Stressed by the horrific news that just keeps coming wave after wave... but...there is a bit of a bright spot...thank you, Daily Star for this: Putin's Poodle
