The arrogance and corruption of this administration is overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, the red hat brigade believe every lie Trump and his ilk spew.

Reminds me of Dubya’s off-the-budget war—the one where we found all those WMDs, remember—that ended up at that 2008 economy that made us all so happy.

Ultimately, don't need a government if there is no land neither on fire nor underwater and there are neither people alive nor markets to regulate

And people around the world won’t suffer and die after we cut off their aid if we fire the people that count the bodies.

Can’t have oversight if you have no overseers

maliwaka.bsky.social•16 hours ago

we are the overseers.

That’s right sigh!

WE NEED A WARTIME GENERAL! We are at war with a dictator. First we had hope in Congress but appear they cannot do a whole lot beyond performative actions and make speeches. Then we had hope in the courts but with the Justice Department being corrupted, they cannot enforce their orders.

booksondesign.bsky.social•16 hours ago

The dictator has made it very clear he will defy them. IF THE DICTATOR CAN REFUSE TO OBEY COURT ORDERS THEN STATES CAN AND MUST REFUSE TO OBEY ILLEGAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

Yes he will probably cut off funding to states that do so.

booksondesign.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Elected officials worry about losing funding on projects. We need to move to a wartime mode and find the funds which they will need to resist Trump's unconstitutional executive overreach. Kamala raised 1 billion for her election campaign, why not raise money to support the states that lose funds.

booksondesign.bsky.social•16 hours ago

It will not be easy. That is why we need a Wartime general to coordinate actions with the states and resistance organizations so they can help and support each other in this war. Pete Buttigieg could be the one to lead with a newly created organization to support him.

booksondesign.bsky.social•16 hours ago

So far he is one of the few voices in the Biden administration to continually speak out. THIS IS WAR AND WE NEED A WAR TIME GENERAL!!!

Maybe the states should let him cut funding, then start letting everyone know why the money stopped…trump.

Musk has no clue about what helps the general public. His plan is to take away from all of the people and take for himself. What a great business plan.

Reminds me of the way toddlers play hide-and-seek. They believe if they stick their head in a box, you can't see them. But then they grow up and realize you can indeed see them. Unfortunately, these folks haven't grown up.

There will also not be hurricanes, tornados, or winter storms anymore...

Well, when their plan is to crash and privatize the entire thing, the less data in pricing the better so they can set artificially low prices.

Yeah, the “ostrich strategy” is the strategy for losers who are afraid of being exposed as the liars they are!

If you don't test you don't have cases!

No covid cases if we stop testing.

dwightmunroe.bsky.social•13 hours ago

You reminded me of Trump's infamous response to the rising number of COVID cases in the U.S.: "Slow the counting down, please."

In the linked report, the most troubling is the last line:

"[CHEERING]"

It’s a GOP shell game as usual. They lie, cheat and use any unethical methods in their governance of our country.

maliwaka.bsky.social•16 hours ago

no. its unusual. thats why it should be the biggest wake up. theres pros not pols behind this.

All “news” becomes “Everything is fabulous!” all the time in every authoritarian country even as eggs are government-restricted to a dozen per month per household.
