"Oh, our flag is tattered
And our bones are shattered
But it doesn't matter
'Cause we're moving forward
Round 'em up, round 'em up, let's go
Round 'em up, let's go"--Shinedown
Come on Eagle. Rise up, raise those talons and fight. Carry that twit back to your nest and feed him to your young. What's that? They're fussy eaters? They don't do Trump rump? Well, do the first few steps and just drop him in the water.
Trump MAGAs keep on writing nasty reviews about my Trump joke book, a collection of my early Bluesky posts. Amazon removes reviews, but then more appear. I wanted the book to be free, but Amazon's lowest price requirement is $2.99. Any help would be appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/Trumps-Weird-World-Parody-Joke-ebook/dp/B0F67KV8SN
We're pretty battered right now, our 250 year old experiment. We have to have the tenacity of a bulldog and fight on. We will heal our wounds, and push this disaster out of the WH, and all his enablers.
We've fought fascism before & prevailed. Awaken ye Lions of Democracy & fight! You will prevail!!
Assuming we make it. When I hear media and pundits opine that we're getting close to being an autocratic nation, I look around and see what happens each & every day, it seems we're already in the first stages of it.
Praying I'm wrong, fearing I'm not.
Do you remember when you were a little kid and christmas was coming and you couldn't wait for christmas morning? That feeling of anticipation.... That's how I feel about the midterms.
A more important countdown: 534 days until the midterms and an opportunity to change the balance of power in Congress - which will be a huge problem for the Trump Train.
He hasn’t really used his GOP congress he’s bypassing them with his Executive Orders many of which need to go through congress. If he continues to get away with it will it really matter who controls congress? I guess if it’s a landslide for the Democrats they could pass bills veto-proof.
But he HAS used his congress majority - to stay out of his way. That will be more difficult if he loses that majority. And with cracks finally starting to show on SCOTUS, clear constitutional violations via EO can't be guaranteed to fly. None of this will stop him but it can slow him down.
534 days
A don’t believe Democratic majority would stop him from his signing executive orders, just more fights.
The best hope would be enough of a majority to successfully Impeach him, 67 votes are needed in the 100-member Senate. If all Senators are not present, the required number changes accordingly.
I said "slow him down", not stop him. I don't think you're giving enough credit to the public noise and media attention that a Democratic majority would produce, nor the impact on interior workings like committees, nor impact on centrist legislators, etc. Hopefully your ho-hum attitude won't spread.
A "ho hum" attitude, whether used as an interjection or adjective, indicates boredom, lack of interest, or a feeling of something being ordinary or uninteresting. It's often used to express a lack of excitement or enthusiasm, suggesting the situation is dull or routine. No Lack of Interest Here.
Or less if republicans lose the House and Senate after 2026 elections, then we can impeach the felon again for taking bribes and ruining the economy and trashing the constitution and our rights!
I dont think I'll make it either. I'm with the bird.
Its revolting this scumbag billionaire & minions are ruining our country. The King @saudi.bsky.social sure had choice words in a posted TicTok vid about our bloated, hollow President & I want to go there & kiss 💋 his ring
Already gone. Realize there is no America, no Constitution, no law. In a time of more civility we had ideas that led us away from Monarchs and Oligarchs. But bowing to corruption has useful idiot and is extremely violent. We must shed blood. That is a brutal reality. Trump will not go peacefully.
According to Simpsons, their departure will be much sooner. Maybe eagles can unite to help bring down this government before they ( bald eagles) become extinct.
He won't make it to the end of his term due to his health. However his admin is still in place, so hopefully criminal charges will be brought against them to get rid of them.
Anyone can purchase citizenship from this bizarre administration. Mexican officials said Wednesday that 17 family members of drug cartel leaders crossed into the United States last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration.
Rachel did a piece on demonocracies that did manage to keep them in the face of a autocratic and/or dictatorial regime. They said that the first year is the most important. If you don't move in the first year, you've lost it. A peaceful leadership change is no longer possible. Get loud, folks.
Yes Paul I know. It's a talk to text error, dipshit. Do you not read the comments? Or do you just spout off like a spelling Nazi? Did you not read the thread at all?
1974 was a different situation. Nixon was a malicious asshat, but he was strongarming his inner circle into doing his bidding. When word of his shenanigans got out, people dropped him like a hot rock.
Trump is the figurehead for a much more dangerous & widespread movement.
Very true. Rump and Leon have made their army the proud boys, they are loyal to his bidding. They have been sitting idol on standby now they’re in action. 40,000 of these terrorists running around America.
The Heritage Foundation may be the mouthpiece of the movement, but I’m honestly more concerned by a not-insignificant proportion of the US population that has completely decoupled from objective reality and is pushing for a rollback of 60 years worth of social progress.
only if elections are not rigged. musk is still around. he stole an election at least once. he tried to do it in Wisconsin. he could do it again and again until he's straight-jacketed and muzzled.
Nah. America is too riven and full of hate, conspiracy theories and distrust. You aren't coming back from this even W a new boss. What you need is a TRC. Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Slavery, genocide & more need to be discussed, confronted, confessed and rwconxiked
So strike back the force, go out and stop their brutality course,
If not, then there's terror, freedom and peace is seen no more
Cause they don't just bust heads, but freedom peace and democracy
So don't close your eyes, take a stand fight the force and all their lies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgI_dhtGy-Y
If your plan is to wait that long, you have already given up on democracy. You have decided to accept a full term of fascism. If you think that it's endurable because you can foresee an end to it, you are a callous person who is not moved by the suffering of others, and no ally of mine.
What will be left of the U.S. after Chump?
Trade deals are passing the U.S. by.
Former allies don't trust U.S. security enough to share intelligence.
The American dollar is on the cusp of no longer being the international standard of currency.
The coming recession will be centred on the U.S.
By 2028, “Democracy” as we know it will be very different. Trump will be in power as long as he wants. Besides death, he is untouchable and more popular than ever.
Yeah but at 74 I've lived for over 26m days. From Captain Kangaroo right through to the mango pirate president. And I'm a Canadian. Wll, I sincerely hope his birthday parade is a shit show for him.
And then we can elect him for a 3rd term!! I can't wait!! Trump is the BEST thing to happen to this country, and if you can't see that, then you are ignorant. Well, TBH, most Trump haters are ignorant! It's okay, though! They weren't raised properly!
Never give up. Indeed, I read a recent article but Russell Moore, who is the Pastor who succeeded Rev. Billy Graham at Christianity Today..one needs to consider multiple views. Interestingly, he explains how the message of the book of Revelation is NOT TO BOW DOWN and to RESIST!!
Nothing can be done
There is No one !
and so many good people are in la la land
Decent ,ethical law abiding have no power
Besides Trump is getting people on his side daily
This is old. 1,345 days to go. And really should be doing a countdown to midterms and 2027. That's when congressional oversight and investigations can happen, along with zero bills passing in congress that trump wants.
No. We cannot and MUST NOT allow the American Nazi TRAITORS to continue to demolish our democracy. We must organize a GENERAL STRIKE across the country. We only need 3.5% of the population to stop business as usual ‼️ Social justice orgs and unions locally can organize and then we just network ‼️✊
Trump will never leave power peacefully, Jan 6th. Stop the ridiculous optimism about your GOP relatives, friends & neighbors. These people are dangerous a$$holes. Get ready.
if you think trump is leaving after his term ends, you are naive as fuck. the turd is a tyrant, he is actively eliminating checks and balances, you think the law actually matters to him?
Truly the embodiment of how we feel.
Let this be a reminder to anyone feeling tired or discouraged: you’re not alone. Stay sharp, stay grounded, and stay united. 💙💪🏽
If you're waiting for the next election to get rid of Trump, then you're deluding yourself. He will find a way to rig elections in his favor by then, or just scrap them all together, and remain in power. America needs to stop thinking that shit still works the way it's supposed to.
I agree. I truly do not want to be Negative Nancy, but I am shit scared about this. Rs have played dirty and will do so again. It works. The old rules do not apply anymore. I hope Dems smarter than I know this, are busy strategizing as we speak, and can act decisively and effectively.
Don't be scared. Fear is what the right wants from Americans. Be strong. Be determined. Be unwavering. That is how democracy survives. Fear is the mind killer.
I get your point, but I don’t think it’s fear that’s the problem, it’s paralyzation. Imho if you’re not scared right now, you’re not paying attention. When you’re threatened, you should be scared- and also be thinking about how to change your circumstances and act on the best plan you can conceive.

Now they could paint it brown, and rename it the Shite House.
They are working on disenfranchising anyone against the regime.
Reminds me a bit of my most recent piece:

Unless there is an intervention.
Even then where would you start to unravel the harm done.
How do you go about deprograming those who do self harm thinking they are better off?
I doubt the case for removal is any more complex now than then.
Get those idiots fired asap.

It’s up to “We the people” to take a stand.
It’s in the constitution.
#DEMOCRACY 🗽
#CONSTITUTION
#TRAITORS
#TREASON
#INSURRECTION
#LawAndOrder ⚖️
Somewhere in there we can IMPEACH, INDICT, REMOVE…right? 🤔
I have a dream. Bit different than Martin Luther King’s dream, but doable. 🤗
C’mon Republicans. You CAN do it. It’s whether or not you’ve got the cajones.
Hopefully, we can shorten that time.
It all depends on how many congressmen and senators realign their loyalties and reflect on their oath office.
We the people need to provide as much pressure as possible, always, never give up, always push, always resist
Perhaps that will lift spirits ever so slightly, knowing there are a few fewer days of tyranny.

Poor thing! 😥
> There still remain 1,344 days until the end of the tRUmp administration
That is January 20, 2029, not February 6!! 1,344 is already 1,344 too many days.
As well say patience!😡😡😡💀💀💀
