The best way to remove tRump and company from our government is peacefully perform a general strike beginning 5/1 for as many weeks as possible. Stop everything indefinitely. He is moving way too fast for protests alone to work. We only stop the strike when he, vAnts and jOhnson have resigned!
It’s time all Democrat governors, Congressional Representatives and Senators unite and tell Trump ICE isn’t allowed to operate in their state unless everyone has due process. Local law enforcement must stand against illegal arrests & deportations.
yep this right here .. it's not that trumnpf is an idiot, that's obvious, but it's more that there are people that support him enough to put him into power and even if trumpf caught a bullet from a disgruntled republicunt you'd still have to deal with all his followers
I couldn't agree more. The way people have actually chosen and support this regime is the singular most damaging aspect for this country. I am so proud of all of us who are fighting though and doing all we can to stop this wave of terror.
We've officially become the world's largest banana republic. And aren't we all so proud of that! I remember when everyone was laughing at the crazy Ugandan president Idi Amin. Now they're all laughing at our crazy president. Hope they take him away in a straight jacket soon.
He is still there, this gvrnmnt didn’t understand the damage he’s done and will do. That makes everyone there look even more ignorant, stupid and unstable. The dangers they cause are clear to everyone but not to them.
Understand this will effect jobs, the value of money, your vacations, your electronics, toys, entertainment, cars, medication, comfort level, home value, food, basically everything we as Americans see as normal things to expect in life will be gone or very hard to get very soon. Because we stood by
Their is only one thing that might work and still is unlikely. Yo remove all of them with extreme prejudice. It would atleast show we won't tolerate this behavior.
Yippers. Dead On! The question is: After Stupid is gone, what will it take to get that "TRUST" back for the world? Would it even be possible?
Just a couple of long range questions 👽
Twice …!!!!!
And the sycophant gnomes even savor an unconditional illegal third….
Gone baby gone this is how empires die.
Their own leopards eating their faces.
Everybody was amazed at his election victory, but I don't think they were ready for their own reaction after 100 or so days. Now, everybody feels like they need to go have another shower to get the stink off themselves after every newscast. Most folks didn't think our nation would be unrecognizable.
I would say roughly only 1/3 of the country understands and we are going to learn an awful lesson because 30 % of eligible voters couldn't give a rats ass about our democracy or their fellow citizens. The universe held a mirror up to America and the image was grotesque.
HA! HA! FDR was cleaning up the destruction of prior Republican administrations. Trump, the Destroyer, is creating the next mess for a Democratic president to clean up.
Major reforms will be required to ensure nothing like this happens again.
1. Trump goes away forever
2. Fox “News” pays for massive anti-propaganda campaign, admitting all their/right-wing media lies
3. MAGA politicians expelled from office and banned from future runs
4. Make DC & PR states
Don't just think things will just turn as they were before. Not only the perception about you changed but the perception about China too. Good luck with that.
Yeah Trumpet sucks. But honestly, the US weren’t the “leader of the world”. This belief brought us to where we are.
A free world has NO leader, that’s the very definition of being free!
And they don’t trust the people who put him in charge. We will never forget or forgive the insults, bullying, and threats you made to your oldest allies. We will never trust you again. The rest of the world will never look at America and Americans the same way again. The relationship is broken.
Has anyone outside the USA ever humored that whole "leader of the free world" thing? I only remember hearing Americans say it. I'd like to know how we can avoid continuing to send that message.
Our Military leaders that have been dismissed or sidelined by Trump and Musk. Our 4 former Presidents and Commanders in Chief and their entire staff and cabinet members. You are being supported by We, the People. You took an Oath. Please stand up and stand by. It takes two to testify to treason.
The deviant system existed before it became the United States of America. It perpetuated over 500 years waiting for one of their own to destroy a government and a Nation.
It's the same reason why the Republicans didn't control anything for almost 30 years. They can't be trusted to do anything for the country or its citizens but give everything to the corporation and the wealthy.
We can never go back to a kind of America where a SCOTUS Citizens United ruling endows oligarchs with the power to divide and corrupt both Americans and its politicians.
Historian, Timothy Snyder, argues that democracy is antithetical to oligarchic greed and desire to control.
go back? get the fuck out of it before you even think to talk like that. This is why you're not trusted as an American either. Fix your shit or accept your slave bracelet.
Imagine a future that concedes NO going back. I think you do. (with / without the expletives).
IOW's, we are going to have to rid America of MAGA-run-amok, repair the massive damage already done, address (fix) SCOTUS, then shore up Constitutional law through a revitalized Congress.
or in other words, you will never get the chance and you will never ever ever be what you were again. NEVER. Your fucking kids will never even know what you fucking gave away.
I hear your rage and would hope you are channeling it towards the #resistance.
While I believe in peaceful civil disobedience, it' not clear where you presently stand; but, your animus towards fellow bluesky users may prove counterproductive.
Want to know whether Donald Trump or Xi Jinping will win the trade war? China just signed the world’s largest free-trade agreement with Japan and 14 other Southeast Asian Nations. These 16 nations hold $ Trillions in U. S. Treasury Bonds. How much of their long-term debt is the USA holding?
Not just the head of state stinks figuratively & apparently literally. It’s the fact he is clearly unhinged & was elected with the Project 2025 manifesto with real evil lunatics pulling his strings & destroying democratic norms.
No one could respect that situation the US has put itself in.
Yup, the only way the US will regain its international standing is not just by electing better leadership, but also enacting new systems to prevent this kind of naked corruption from ever happening again.
There’s a lot of world leaders blowing things up. Until humans stop this ? Insane lame IDEA of violence mostly nonsense toward our population? All the TALK is bullshit. Violence toward Nature is stupid. Nature is wild enough. It’s always rearranging disorder, as Earth is our only Mother to ALL!.
Worse is he had followed a playbook to bully and scare those should could stop him from stopping him! The GOP Congress will go down in history as causing the fall of democracy to fascist/totalitarian rule. All it would take is 10 strong republicans to stop the insanity!
Just to be clear, -electoral system - geri-mandered to the max, voting roles purged, and barely 40 percent turnout. A senate that has 2 reps for CA and CT despite the diff in pop... While DC and Porto Rico have none.
This, no doubt about it, helped the mango menace. His many millions of dollars also helped, but, in any case, millions voted for him and his extremist agenda, and that's worrying.
There are just too many substandard laws, democracy is weak, racism is rife and its run by self serving billionaires and white and christian extremists who attack allies and trade partners while supporting a Russian dictator.
When you have a weak leader who is compromised by your greatest enemy and the only thing that enemy allows him to do is bend over deeper, that’s what you get.
Continuing massive voter suppression, extreme gerrymandering, unlimited dark $, foreign interference, and the hack of vote tabulation software has been our "system" since the 2016 "election". The #FascistGOP will never willingly/peacefully give up power. It’s “show elections” or “no elections” now.
Trump demands loyalty. But he himself is loyal to nobody - person or country. Except maybe Putin, but only because either Putin has something big on him or he has given Trump one big sweet deal.
That IMHO is the Russian and Chinese objective in this. The Petro Dollar has controlled the World Economy for a long time because it's honest and reliable nature. Now that honesty and reliability are gone the World will find a new honorable market to tap into.
Even if Trump goes tomorrow, how long will it take for trust to be regained? For that the replacement would have to start dumping tariffs, apologise to the world, and double down on putin.
The trust won't return until trump and his associates are sentenced and imprisoned. We won't care if it's you guys or the ICC.
If he dies of old age in comfort before that, you guys are done for decades, if not permanently.
It’s no longer just Trump, it’s the Republican Party. Remove Herr Don and they will create a martyrdom. The whole party needs to be removed. It’s enabling his cabinet to do whatever, and Fox is key.
There is a lot of truth to this. We are set back decades- it’s done. But we don’t yet have the resources, the supply chains nor the factories for isolationism. This is very much a moment similar to Mao Zedong’s ‘Great Leap Forward’- which lead to a calamitous famine.
Wasn't any "system" that put Trump into the White House. It was huge numbers of white supremacist, anti-black racist VOTERS who did this. Name them. Shame them. Confront them. Stop calling them a "system".
What him and his regime have done in just 100 days will take years to fix. Waiting for the midterms isn't an option if we want the US we know to still exist in a year and a half.
The leader of the world?! In your dreams. Not how I see them. Not how many people around the world see them. The world's biggest imperialist mass murderer. Destabiliser of states it has no right to interfere in. Warmongers and illegal invaders. Racists. And for 18 months, genocidal criminals.
We have become a olycarchy. Everything in our system of government is up for sale to the highest bidder.
That is a system that can't be trusted.
End Citizens United
End Dark money
End legalized bribery
Cap donations
Bring Democracy back to the US.
Why are you using the communist sicle and hammer when trum clearly is a fascist? If you are going to do propaganda, at least be consistent.
Also, the us losing it's leadership role and 'soft power' is a good thing. The USA is not the good guy, come to terms with the lies fed to you first.
This is a long game for Republicans. They created a dumbed down citizenry and supported candidates. Trump clones are tools. This is also going on everywhere. We outnumber them, and if we can work together with boycotts and supporting competitive businesses, they can be beat.
I’m wondering if this might end up being the sliver lining of this whole episode in the end though. Because we have been this supposed leader of the world, we have also freely been the bully of the world. Putting our thumb at best, and our boot on the neck at worst on many governments.
Unfortunately that is the price we pay for having elections. I hate the man and his enablers with every breath I take but until our elected officials stand up and take away his power, AND the Media stops letting him lie at every turn then only a revolution might be able to topple him.
This can happen in any country with an election.
There were literally Nazis back on the ballot in Germany's last election.
What insurance does America or the rest of the world have that any other country won't elect a fascist that ignores their constitution?
Furthermore, they do not trust a nation that includes enough short-sighted, selfish, clueless bigots to elect this human blight at all, let alone twice.
Yep. The American Century is over. Now we have to salvage what we can - and continue to be grateful that Canada and Mexico have no intention of invading.
I've been saying for decades that the majority of Americans are either authoritarian minded people or just don't care because they're lives are about a materialistic lifestyle. The US is experiencing the karma created by greedy egotistical materialism.
Amazing that a system designed to favor white supremacists would be d destroyed by undue influence from a white supremacist. And by amazing, I mean entirely predictable.
Think of how you hate Hitler and what he did to innocent people and children. That’s how the rest of the world thinks about America. Yes, even Russians.
Absolutely correct! If it can happen once it can happen again. If the world finds its way out of this mess why would they ever trust the US government again
In no reality was or is America the "leader of the world". It's a warmongering, deeply stupid third-world country with a lot of money. It's the Kardashians of countries with a penchant for shooting brown-skinned people.
Criminals, plural. Trump is just the ringleader. If you think he did this alone, you are mistaken. Lots of people in congress, instead of fulfilling their duty to the constitution are serving Trump. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of immunity. Corruption is assisting corruption.
And don't forget about The Heritage Foundation, whose idea of a "perfect" autocratic society/state Trump and his goons are in the middle of establishing.
All my life I believed we were stronger in the Checks and Balances department.
No, we just always had human beings, yes some more decent than others, but human beings, running the show.
I realize not one vote ever cast, not one elected representative, really matters when a POTUS is King.
The American dream: anybody can be somebody. Especially if they are craven, soulless morons (hello big religion, Hollywood, big pharma etc etc) Trump is not the problem, he’s just the absolute shittiest, disgusting symptom they can’t ignore anymore.

This is how we win:
It’s time all Democrat governors, Congressional Representatives and Senators unite and tell Trump ICE isn’t allowed to operate in their state unless everyone has due process. Local law enforcement must stand against illegal arrests & deportations.
You gave up the leadership role decades ago. A leader leads. The US is always late or doesn't show up at all

Kiss American global dominance good by
Thanks Cheeto

I blame not just Trump supporters, but also the third of Americans who did not vote. This is on you.

... working for them.

About a generation. So 10 years, a decade.

"IT'S OVER"
Nothing has ever been as OVER as America is right now!
NOTHING!!
But who’s going to quibble over the details.
Trump is just one head of a right wing hydra.
No, we just always had human beings, yes some more decent than others, but human beings, running the show.
