the Convict is paid from the Federal's so we have a chance that he must go to ! RIGHT ?

You're heading in the right direction with this, but as a piece of journalism it should focus on legality and constitutionality (and the total absence of those qualities), rather than describing these efforts as though this were just a slightly wacky time of disorganization. Keep trying!

Now Musk/Trump are in the Pentagon. Wiping out the JAG, the equivalent of civilian court inside the military.

And that's because those people who strongly supported his campaign didn't really think he would do it to them. A case of we told you so.

They didn’t understand that he doesn't care about them at all. The only one he cares about is himself.

Those who vote for totalitarian rule don’t get to say they’d like it totalitarian light when they regret the consequences.

It’s about time and time will show if it’s enough of them. Frankly, I don’t believe it yet.

If they cut Medicare and social security they won't be relying on elections any more.

Good fuck them and fuck the red states who were giddy thinking these cuts would only hit blue states

Polls, backlash, the truth about what he is doing to the economy should be plastered EVERYWHERE. He doesn't like it. Keep your eye on the midterms people. Plaster what he is doing EVERYWHERE. Attend town hall meetings especially if a Republican represents you. Ask questions. Demand real answers.

Congress has to decide whether or not the Department of Education goes away,referring to Trump's vow to eliminate that department, the newspaper reported. "Not the president, not Elon Musk.". Musk is the president. He was the highest bidder.

seanevans-66.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Much more fundamentally, Congress needs to decide if it’s relevant.

these cuts are nothing less than the dismantling of the public services that sustain civil society. The next step will be a drift towards authoritarianism

And no one is happier than Putin. He hasn't had to drop a single bomb. Trump has destroyed the United States for him.

"first they came for the Jews. I said nothing for I was not a jew."

Will you be next?

The people put this evil in power. Time to take responsibility and purge the poison.

We saw how this goes. History repeats when we don't learn the lesson.

Speak up & act out.

Here is one small way. #resist

Hopefully the takeaway for red states is that yes in fact they need a working federal government and that we all benefit from it. Here's hoping.

dmilton89.bsky.social•20 hours ago

They don’t care what the backlash is. Nor do they care if a dozen eggs rises to $20.

That was only a problem for them when the orange virus wasn’t president.

dumbledored.bsky.social•20 hours ago

That's OK, as soon as the backlash becomes too much for Agent Orange to bear, he'll just throw Agent Muskow under the bus.

If a majority of the republicans would go against Trump the US and the world could be saved. If they at last could admit that Trump and his entourage has kidnapped the GOP.

President Trump said "Zelesky has no cards” and is not “important to be at meetings,” as he warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin could take all of Ukraine “if he wanted” on Friday.

This dangerous arrogance of deciding about Ukraine without Ukrainians should fill everyone with disgust!

Good. There are a lot of American families that include a civil servant, service member, or veteran. Obviously, not a lot of billionaire families, though. So sad that the people pushing these agendas are happy to oppress so many just to have "more".

What happens if he would be 'convicted' (or what it is called)? Does he have to resign. And then the a** J D Vance will be president instead? I don't know how it works.

therese-ekstrom.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Don't you think all the republicans will free him?
