I'm so old, I remember when we physically went out and protested injustice rather than talking about it, but these kids niw can't unite to organize a valid protest to save their lives. I'm starting to think they deserve everything that's happening rn.
I'm so old I remember when the president was the president of all the people regardless of whether they voted for them or not. I'm also old enough to believe that there was a time when the president of the United States really did want what was best for the people, not just their pocketbook.
I miss the days when a President wearing the wrong color suit or asking for "fancy" mustard was newsworthy. The kind of crap we deal with under Trump is now just business as usual.
Waking up every single day…seeing how much Trump has destroyed our democracy and trying to convince yourself that everything is fine when you know it’s not. Day 13
I remember the controversy over ONE late night Twitter typo from President Obama. One. 😭 and the statement wasn't anything I remember being extremely important.
omg, can you even IMAGINE what would have happened if Obama signed 300 Executive Orders in one week. The MAGAts, & Republican Congress came absolutely unglued when he signed ONE. Non-stop pearl-clutching, they & the media raged.
Trump charges a 100 grand an order executive order, 15% of shares in new oil drilling, 22% for the entire state of Wyoming and 10% for bar mitzvahs at Mar-a-lago.
Alright. Look at her nose. She's clearly having a surgery type complex here. It's not a far fetch she must be using a ton of anti-aging, skin conditioners, expensive cream by the gallon. Conclusion the woman, unlike Jesus wouldn't survive a day without a hot bath and a fridge to stock her things.
He only did fine because the Romans gave them aqueducts, sanitation, roads (goes without saying), irrigation, medicine, education, wine, public baths, and order.
GET NAZI INCEL BUCKTOOTH HITLER OUT OF THE TREASURY NOW DOUBLE QUICK OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Republicans created the era of Drama Queen politics. Everything was a hideous affront to their senses. Tan suits and Fancy Mustard had them sacrificing cats to the altar of Rush Limbaugh.
With Trump’s national trifecta, state Dems are our last line of defense.
Governors, state senators & reps block extremist laws & protect rights. Volunteer, donate, VOTE in every state race.
The fight is local!

Im old enough to remember Obama overseeing the take out of a terrorist.
Make no mistake, the republican party are far worse than Bin Laden and their leader is a narcissistic moronic psychopath.
I was thinking Mark Cuban likes to give a lot of advice and thought I’d suggest he fund a Tea Party/Moms of Liberty campaign like the right wing Billionaires do so we can protest w $ protections
Donald Trump has officially declared through an executive order that everyone on Earth is transgender. He signed an executive order stating that sex is determined at conception. HOWEVER, every person on Earth develops sex at about one month AFTER conception. We ALL change gender at one month.
Yep. Now we use EOs to eliminate the entire legislative branch of government. If I was in congress, on either side, I would be so pissed. No need to pass laws, or legislate, or do anything resembling their jobs. But, most of them are too spineless to call it out.
Yes. This is bc MAGA politicians don't follow rules. They tell other ppl to follow rules, so that MAGA politicians can con them more easily.
See @mkonnikova.bsky.social 's book The Confidence Game, a history of con artists, for how this has worked throughout history.
I'm so old I remember Dems pressuring Congressman Al Franken to resign over sexual misconduct allegations when he was on SNL. Dems eat their own. Repubs put them on pedestals :(
Trump is the worst, but Obama also was kinda bad. America has not had a truly good president in my lifetime, at least. I think it's important we don't lose sight of that and just keep settling for 'less bad'.
I’m so old, when I was a kid, I dropped the American flag on the ground and my old neighbors got so mad and yelled at me that I could get in big trouble for disrespecting the flag.
There will someday be a conflict. First his aides will disagree with the real handlers. Then trump will ask Elon WTF. He will capitulate a few time but man, how long can his ego stand it? As long as the “donations” keep rollin’ in—but his aides will walk out.
I’m so old, I remember when Americans were angry at Obama for eating a hamburger with Dijon mustard, rather than with the "American" condiment of choice, ketchup.
The pro MAGA trash lazy

I remember when Republicans criticized President Obama's speech after he ordered the strike to kill bin laden. They said his speech was too self-serving. In comparison...
It was never bipartisan in my life time. They lied and said it was, and we believed them, but it was not.
They worked for decades to get to that point in the 80s when they finally made it legal for the news to lie to us. Destroying the 1st amendment's goal of creating an informed public.
If only Biden had dared sign an executive order barring Trump from ever holding public office again. Didn't do it. Expected the court of public opinion to get it done. Huge blunder
I'm so old, I remember when a couple of presidents (D) signed in legislation giving all people the right to vote, causing a stampeded of Dixiecrats to the Republican party. They took over that party.
I remember Republicans in my area being absolutely convinced that he was going to put us under Shari'a Law and force everyone to be Muslim. Pretty rich in retrospect seeing everything that's going on now
I’m so old I remember Republicans holding a meeting before Obama’s inauguration in order to plan their attack against him. and to just say no to anything he wanted to do, unlike Dems who have no plan even two weeks after Trump’s inauguration!
I come back to that so often, how Trump went crazy over a handful of EO’s when Mitch had dedicated his career to blocking Obama. Now he has the votes and governs by a blizzard of EOs. There is not one shred of decency in that man.
The racism on the right is so strong that having a mixed race potus broke their collective brains and now all they care about is removing brown people. It's their single issue.
(And it was supposed to be taking the piss out of the possibility of President Schwarzenegger, despite the fact that he has ended up being an unexpected voice of reason against the worst excesses of the Republicans)
They put a clause in that the new Amendment for a third term would be availed only to current and future presidents. Yeah. They know what they’re doing is bad.
Ah there it is. I figured there surely was some loophole they were trying to write in. That’s some serious mental gymnastics to rule out past presidents.
We are, back in sept '08 the LHC actually did fracture spacetime/formed dimensional rift/screwed up quantum whatever, and dropped us into the dumbest timeline.
It just needs some more Amendments. I don’t think there’s been a new one my entire life and I’m 32 years old. The issue is it takes 2/3 of the states to ratify an Amendment and we are just too deeply divided for that to happen in the current political climate.
Tbh, it’s more that we need the media to stop shoving right-wing lies down everyone’s throats and we need better education. But, these would be my picks for 2028:

Now Republican voters are standing and cheering for a Heroin Addict to be in charge of HHS.
One narcissistic white man in power is "the will of the people."
That’s it. I’m just old.

Now, I'm getting older every time I hear FOTUS #47 taking up space in all forms of media channels.
24/7, Trump, Trump,Trump, Trump,Trump, Trump,Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,Trump, Trump,Trump!

Turns out it was one of the first Russian PsyOp bot operations pulled on the gullible MAGA/Tea Partiers.
And now look at the massive flock of Red-Pilled masses.

And the whole thing that followed is still getting worse.
It’s almost getting to the point where it feels like we are in the wrong multiverse.
Alas, I fear we have already diverged too far...
...I can't wait til this shit kicks off.
For next Prezident.
