The next stage might be flight capital, to where? Dubai?

OMG I can’t get that out of my head!😳🤮

Depends on how afraid they are of their own voters, who (if they are even aware) have a completely distorted view of what's happening and why. They had a similar tactical moment after J6, and almost universally caved in fear rather than try to educate their constituents about reality...so...

5 GOP House members could literally take over the country with a single press conference.

Instead they are just going to coast to a crushing electoral defeat? What the fuck.

louaspiringwriter.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m cool with the crushing electoral defeat.

Just wish it was 2 years sooner.

thanksihateit603.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think you may be underestimating how bad this could get. Anyway, we're all just helpless bystanders at this point.

louaspiringwriter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh I’m in no way underestimating any of this.

If we don’t stop him within a few months, it’s all over.

There is nothing in it for R’s to push back. It’s all on the rest of us.

To quote Senator Booker “This is the time when new leaders must emerge. I’m not talking about Senators. I’m talking about citizens.” It’s our turn fam. https://handsoff2025.com/

I’ll be at the one in Norfolk VA.

I joined a local Indivisible group and we’re organizing new events every week. I was member #12 - we’re over 500 and growing.

makinpies.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is how it’s done folks! @UVOTN is partnering with Indivisible in Nashville for our local event. Find a cause you want to support and get connected. Fight back against division by embracing community.

When I signed the General Strike commitment about 3 weeks ago, there were 278,000 signatures.

Today it’s 317,000.

This isn’t taking hold. Should be a LOT further along by now.

Someone needs to explain to the Christian nationalists that their movement has been hijacked by a con-man. Economy go BOOM! and their White Homeland will be an impoverished ghetto.

nationalists are always led by con men

oops! they all think what he’s doing is good

louaspiringwriter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thing is, he never has.

And individuals & institutions alike kissed his ass in advance.

Burn the emperors wardrobe next, please. He can’t be allowed to look competent anymore.

Amazing video here where CNBC laid out how Trump just made this all up without any kind of formula

But the gop are a sack of feckless PABs…they won’t do anything except semi angry sounding interviews on newsmax

It’s amazing that Congress cannot delegate almost anything to Democratic presidents without SCOTUS turning it back but can delegate total power to destroy the economy to Republican presidents without a murmur from CJ Roberts. 🤔

But what if they're really just subjects looking for a tyrant ?

donmcgahan.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you were a Republican who would stand up for principles, they primaried your ass out of there several elections ago. If your plan includes Republicans to do the right thing, you're fuKKKed.

Like this one named "I don't do coverups"

Strategically.

I agree. There could be an opportunity here. Some only care about money. Time for a national strike?
