The irony is that the people who are cheering this on laughingly call themselves devout Christians and patriots. There are people in my community that fit into this despicable category. I. Can't. Even.
This unprecedented attack on the American workplace will go down in history as one of the most egregious acts against the people by a sitting president(s). Before Felon47’s time is up on this planet, I’d like him to know how f*cked up he is. To see that people despise him. Sad man.
if this is true, and I have no reason to believe it's not... I truly believe this is criminal.
I don't even think all of Trump's constituents would be okay with this.
not all of them... there has to be some decent people who just made a bad choice.
The vile actions of the orange monster and his minions are evil and cruel. Those who voted for Kamala saw this coming. We are now in harms way and will suffer because of everyone else.
Horrible, but also stupid and gullible. Cut government spending? With Trump? He spent 7.4 trillion on none of these people last term. Not one fucking cent will trickle down to these people. It’s not about gaining anything, it’s about others losing things. It’s pure hatred and lack of education.
I'd argue. The sudden change to USAID is a crime against humanity. If U.S. really intend to shut down every part of their aid efforts - they must do so incrementally and with regards to humanitarian needs.
The U.S. should be questioned and possibly fined by the United Nations.
Shameful, from a geopolitical viewpoint, how does any of these decisions make America more secure and safe. If anything the very opposite.The ripple effects will be felt for decades, including who takes over to fill the vacuum.Any military expert will tell you the long term benefits of soft power
I hereby award myself a gold star for not sending information like this to my Catholic MAGA in-laws every single day to remind them what irredeemable, parasitic ghouls they are: ⭐️
If their information just happened to find its way to someone willing, they could still receive this information daily and your hands would be clean. 👀
Trump is an awful human being, and his vile comments were available to everyone who voted for him. But they voted for him anyway, so yeah. A lotta vile Americans. It's sickening.
More people voted for the “other” than Trump. He won by the slimmest of margins (1.4%) in U.S. history. He didn’t win by a “landslide” and doesn’t have a “mandate.” The majority margins in both houses are razor thin.
There were so many moments on the 2016 campaign trail where I thought,
"What? That's shocking! Ah well, he'll have to stand down now..."
He got the Presidency & the green light to get away with anything.
Other awful people saw that green light too.
Same thing on a smaller scale in Europe.
That is totally Trump's M.O. The man is a psychopath with a very, very long history of shirking responsibility unless it serves two purposes, making him wealthy, therefore more powerful, or strokes his narcissism.
The irony being that he bends the knee to the tyrants he most desires to emulate.
You have to criticize the entire cycle of obscenity. Most of the international catastrophies that get aid from US is actually US created. For instance US destroyed Libya, the country with tht highest human development index during Gaddafi, and now sends NGOs to open food pantries.
The time to fight back is now. We need to get LOUD and make them listen!
Whether we're Democrats, Republicans, or independents , it does not matter. We all understand that an attack on any one of us is an attack on all of us.
This has been the complaint of Americans forever. They don’t like giving aide to other countries. For some reason they expect that aide to come back to Americans. They are dead wrong. We will have to show them that will never happen.
Well, if you’re a Hobbesian, everyone’s an awful human being. Sure supporters of this are Hobbesian, so being called an awful human being is just stating the obvious.
If you obfuscated for Islamic terrorist as the blood of journalists and satirists was still being scrubbed from the office walls of Charlie Hebdo, you're an awful human being.
You’re being kind. If MAGA law is enacted the naked evil of their souls will be on full display. Imagine what a government run by sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists will do to us. Our own American holocaust. We need MILLIONS protesting, not thousands or we’re all DOOMED. WAKE UP, AMERICA
Just curious. Of the ppl you know personally who voted for Trump, how are they feeling about it now. All well n good ppl being online chatting but how do real trump voters feel now. What's changed and what needs to change for them to wake up.
I can’t answer that question bc after Trump won the first time on posted on my FB pg; “If you voted for Trump unfriend me now.” They did. One of them did me a huge favor and blocked me.
We’ll be lucky to survive 2 years. Many people won’t. But they’ll send a “DOGE” check out to everyone in a few months claiming it’s savings from all the waste they discovered & all the Elon fan boys will celebrate it as some type of victory.
#ELonMusk is a #whitesupremacist and #Trump is also a racist, as are most of the #Project2025 guys, this was always their plan. Cruelty, racism and worse.
to be honest reading this has opened my eyes to just how much the USA did for the planet . . . I thought it was just invading countries in the name of democracy and oil😐😐😐
It's time for Americans to stay home and not intervene abroad! First they bomb the shit out of your country, then they send food packages. Better if you left your "democracy" at home
This is what Republicans call "governing".
Screwing things up, destroying, then claiming "the system doesn't work", stoking up an angry base, and making sure future funds are diverted to their pocket.
You wonder why the Great Middle-class disappeared???
Donald Trump wants Canada – not for our social-safety net, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms or our history of cultural tolerance, but for our resources: our minerals, water, oil and our Artic region.
He will use tariffs,daily insults directed at our leaders, his mockery of our national identity,
This ⬆️. One group only thinks of themselves and what they get out of it. (I guess cutting $ or being mean🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️) and another group is appalled because people aren’t getting what they need, things are going to waste and laws aren’t being followed.
I don’t know if this difference can be fixed.
I agree. It’s understandable if any country decides to increase o d decrease its foreign aid. But to do it so abruptly that no one has time to adjust and make alternative arrangements is downright immoral.
Agree. But I think it would be helpful if more people made a positive case for what we are getting in exchange for this aid, rather than just implying that since we’re rich we should be altruistic.
The states are where unemployment insurance claims are made and data collected. BLS may not report or fudge, but the depths of the plunge will be known. ADT also provides reports compiled from administrative payroll data.
I assume the report won't be released (or even collated?) - they seem ideologically opposed to their citizens knowing facts that don't suit the regime.
I wish #BlueSky had another way of registering acknowledgment of a post than just a heart. I don’t like this, in fact I’m 💔at what Trump and cronies are doing.
Fascist leaders create scapegoats- the MAGA target is foreigners. MAGA is now a cult of hate.They say “we need to fix our own problems first”. Want to stop refugees from coming to the US? Help make their lives bearable in their own country & they will be friendly to US leadership in global affairs.
The sad part is ,it doesn’t have to be this way. Americans need to be in the streets so the republicans understand it’s now or never for them. Either you stop the destruction of America or we cross party lines in the primaries to stop you!
Donald Trump really is good, at being bad, at causing human misery and unnecessary suffering. And the thing is, the misery for gov employees he has arbitrarily fired will amplify hundreds, thousands of times in the lives of those they served, in food, medicine, housing, disease prevention . . .
I cut my political teeth protesting a monstrous war that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden advocated for every damn night on TV. There are plenty of reasons to despise her. Hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis for a start.
I’m so sick of the “we should have had a better candidate” bullsh*t. We had two excellent, wholly qualified, better than the rest of the white men, female candidates, but there’s always something wrong. Hair, makeup, laughing. But, a lying racist incompetent Russian asset was best.
Yep. I’m old enough to have voted for a lot of bad candidates but I was raised in a time that voting was your civic duty not a morality test. You vote for people who you think can do the most good or least harm. Not wait for some perfect - agreed with me on every thing I believe in - candidate.
I never said both sides are equally bad. I said Hillary Clinton is a warmonger and an advocate for imperialism and mass murder. Still voted for her over Trump because that is the kind of insane choice Americans have to make every 4 years.
It's just not comparable. Clinton was secretary of state for 4 years. Trusk has only been president for 1 month. The damage Clinton did (and yes, there were questionable decisions), will be a fraction of a minute drop in a massive bucket compared to the damage Trusk will leave behind.
She was also a senator during the "war on terror" and an extremely vocal advocate for the invasion of Iraq. Trump will do more damage, but normalizing the behavior of lesser monsters is how we end up with a greater monster like Trump.
I can’t believe 77 million Americans wanted this. 75 million voted against it. We could have avoided all this suffering if just a few thousand more would have voted for Kamala
The 80 million who couldn’t get off the couch to vote are also guilty of betraying their Republic. Maybe they will be allowed to vote in 2026 to rectify their mistake.
A party that fought to present a known disliked type of candidate again and again while suppressing internal debate might have some responsibility here, don't you think? The Dems could present a candidate that people WANT to vote for, not just a 'at least they aren't that danger' type of candidate.
This is what the heartless people voted for those who thought it would be cool to elect Trump back into office. This isn't about humanity with this current acting administration, its really about protecting the wealth of billionaires like Elon who doesn't have a soul and stirring up chaos.
Add to that sending people back to these countries. The intent may still be to create a refugee crisis. They are also coming after anything that would allow climate change and further accelerate the suffering.
Complete anarchy. How much more will the American people allow?
‘We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty…’
Freezing support for Syria at a critical time in their history only allows imperialist warmonger Putin and China to move in and influence Syria. Very stupid!
The people we are screwing will remember this and will likely not be there for us when we need them... many of them will find themselves moving into China's sphere of influence as we radiate instability and unreliability. America is so damned stupid.
Reality is Putin has designs on restoring the Russian Empire and he was the one invading an elected democracy. Following your premis should the UK restore the British Empire starting with the States?
There is no big difference between America and NATO countries. Ukraine started the war deliberately because Russia is more powerful than they are together and remember America is responsible for all the wars lately around the world, America is a warmongering terrorist organisation
And America is no longer Great Netanyahu knew that the Twin Towers were going to be attacked and did nothing like the ship that was attacked and your government did nothing, there is no democracy in America.
Putin is not looking to build the Russian empire again. Are you dumb Russia has the biggest land mass on the earth. Why would he want more to protect numbnuts? You want to go to Russia 🇷🇺 and see the sanctions, and Russia is better off than Americans, the EU, the UK without sanctions
It will be even better to learn what you are posting about at least stop posting Western countries' propaganda BullShit. It's called having intelligence.
Why would any tax paying citizen not be infuriated with rediculous wasteful spending of their tax dollars by our government that does absolutely nothing to benefit them or our country? Why isn't this something we all can agree on? Please enlighten me.
Old white farmer & owner of 2nd largest egg producer on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social supporting trump. Rose Acre Farms. I will pay triple price for eggs to not buy their products. What a disgusting person he is. Greed & stupidity is a hallmark of MAGA.
Cal-Maine is the largest producer and monopolizing the market.
Record profits repeatedly.
Keeping egg supply low to keep prices up, using avian flu as excuse. Buys up small egg farms and shuts them down
Brands include England’s Best and Land O Lakes.
Thank you for that info, I didn't know. Already do not support Land O Lakes for years. Never use eggland's best sbut will re-post to spread the word. So tired of being gouged.
For some reason maga refused to google in 2016.
But they knew what he stood for the second and third time he ran. Half of my family does not talk to us because they only care that Trump has a dick.
A woman can not win in this country. Straight white men hate us.
Trump stiffing people after work is done, reneging on contracts, breaking the law, ignoring court orders, harming the weakest, the poorest. Who could've seen that coming?
For #FOTUS & RethugliKKKans it's ALWAYS about the cruelty.
USA! Seriously, who actually wanted this????
Why was Trump ever permitted to run?
Why isn't Elon Musk in jail for terrorism, denied bail because he's an obvious flight risk?
What’s happening is inhumane and disheartening.
Supporters of Trump/Musk cheer this dismantling of services with no understanding how it’s destroying lives.
The narcissistic, self serving Trump lacks the capacity to care for others.
His apathy and hate are shared.
It’s how he got elected.
Not only are these monsters getting their jolly's out of torturing these people...they have the added gratification of the sorrow of those of us who care so much about them.
Federal employees need to band up and go on STRIKE. Call in sick for a week or two. You have power and the masses will support you. And those that don’t need to personally feel the impact: no mail, no SSA checks, no passports, no flights, security reduced, medical trials stopped… terrible but needed
I think Franklin Graham would remind his congregation that they weren't voting for their pastor. He'd probably add something about Jesus' love, and how they should all pray more.
I always think that Trump voters imagine some of his wealth will reflect in their own lives, like people always think that one day they will win the lottery
His core is un-educated white people. They've been lied to to the point that they think their lack of success is due to liberal policies and not their own ineptitude. They think if we get these policies out of the way, they too can be rich like them. The money will come!
We have a populist called Geert Wilders here in The Netherlands, his voters are exactly the same. They’re going to find out the hard way that they’re wrong
There are a lot of analogies. We have a populist party for the farmers here in Holland and once elected, they started selling the farmers out. They had €20 billion to spend on farmer’s issues, but spent it on something else, nothing to do with farmers

To which the response is:
“That’s fine, you’re free.
Also, this means you can’t engage in debate, b/c you’re incapable of good faith.
You can’t testify on your own behalf, b/c you don’t care about rights.
Etc.”
I don't even think all of Trump's constituents would be okay with this.
not all of them... there has to be some decent people who just made a bad choice.
I'm looking for a ray of hope.
As a nation we voted that asshole into office. We deserve everything we get in return.
The strapline could not be more succinct or accurate;
"The 45th president is an awful human being"
This has aged VERY well
The U.S. should be questioned and possibly fined by the United Nations.
Truly evil. JFK will be turning in his grave. Yet his nephew serves and supports this fascist Putin sponsored regime.
"What? That's shocking! Ah well, he'll have to stand down now..."
He got the Presidency & the green light to get away with anything.
Other awful people saw that green light too.

Michelle Obama
WE CAN’T QUIT!
They are all deeply horrible, and unless they turn away, they are likely to descend further into the depths of this madness.
The cruelty is the point.
That's all there is to say about MAGA
proud of yourselves?
Screwing things up, destroying, then claiming "the system doesn't work", stoking up an angry base, and making sure future funds are diverted to their pocket.

Not even human.
I don’t know if this difference can be fixed.
This country is littered with sociopaths and narcissists.
So what kind of human being are you?
It affects all of us.
The lightning speed at which they are doing this makes it much more noticeable.
Hopefully, this get the reaction needed to stop them.
It's going to require the MAGA cult to turn on them.
Andrew Johnson?
tons of food sitting on a dock.
this makes me very, very angry.
Electing the worst possible Head of State ever and then bragging about it.
Clinton had decades of insane lies about her - there were also plenty of valid criticisms.
Harris absolutely faced misogyny and racism- she also chose to hug Cheney, refuse to end genocide, and went right on immigration
Don’t forget he barely won by around 40,000 votes in key districts.
you find deplorable about her policies?
Quite the coincidence.
Not all democrats are the same and it’s good to acknowledge that the right wing corporate ones are basically republicans. Not a good thing.
Neoliberal corporate warmongers have no place leading the Democratic Party.
Refusing to learn that Americans want an actual prog/left dem party is what’s costing us.
‘We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty…’

This is just one of the direct policies that have effected them. The USDA funding freeze is destroying them.
