if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

Well, Trump can’t live forever. He’s a 78-year-old who has literal bacon grease for brains at this point for all the Double-Downs and Big Macs he’s scarfing on the daily. With a Diet Coke lol
That was never more than a rationalization, or maybe a lame excuse. We should have treated it that way from the beginning. We are here now through the compliance in advance of far too many.
The disease, better known as Own the Libs' has moved to the non treatable malignant phase.
There is only one cure
It's called 'I didn't know the policies would affect me!'
It is a dehumanizing tactic that will lead to the greater effect known as the Imperial Boomerang. All these cop cities are not in the public’s interest. It’s a private military that will be used against us. Only then will people start waking up…..takes a military boot crashing into them to realize.
Save time & energy & post this every time he is signing EOs & bills
His "#MAGAsty working real hard
Then it's time to eat, watch TV or play golf https://youtu.be/g2Bp8SqYrnE?si=3u2Pk9YvbsIrqjNQ
*thx @jimmykimmel.com
I love how they screamed about drone strikes as if obama specifically pointed out weddings and schools an was like fuck them in particular. Instead of it being america's blood thirsty ass military higher ups. Who are all white men.
Unless one actually looked it up, it would be easy to think that banning drone strikes was one of Trump's Day 1 executive orders in 2017. None of the people who constantly talked about Obama's drone strikes said a fucking peep about drones for 4 years.
You: Straight white men having consistently run america for hundreds of years. Generations after generation. Until a straight white male was allowed to do a nazis salute twice with the incoming president. Has nothing to do with america.
The fact white people ALWAYS whataboutism away from nazis? Literally goes toward proving my original point. That white people will and have consistently over the entire lifespan of america. Refused to take personal responsibility for anything yall have done.
Oh they are the absolute best. Because america's military has categorically...ALWAYS fucked up. Always ended up with innocent lives lost. But it's ALWAYS acceptable when a white male is president. Not when it's a black male though.
I mean there’s only been one black president. There’s of not valid criticism of Obama due to racism, but there’s very valid criticisms too including his expansive drone policy.
Typo, meant to read as plenty of racists criticize Obama because they are racist but there are very valid criticisms of him from the left that are not racist.
It even continued on into Talk of why harris lost. Nope. Nothing to do with america having been racist and sexist as fuck for hundreds of years straight. Leading to two nazis salutes. Nope. The black person just fucked up. Somehow.
Yes! America is racist and sexist, so the fault lies in milquetoast democrats trying to mitigate that, not in Republicans who embrace the racism and sexism. It's as if the R's are lions, so if they go on a feeding rampage the real problem is the zookeepers who didn't buy good enough locks.
Ya her campaign was close to perfect & she’d be a great Pres. It’s possible Musk & Putin did a dark voting machine number, but more likely just clear Christofascist gaslighting. 💔
I liked Obama but the excessive use of drones is not defensible. It’s not like he was specifically ordering them to kill civilians but he was very literally the head of the military doing it.
What? Those were mistakes. Mistakes happen in war. It's why it should be avoided whenever possible. Drones cause way fewer mistakes than conventional airstrikes.
And dude. The current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is black.
And a good deal of those drones aren't military, but CIA.
To be fair, they already looked pretty dipshitty. (And now that I've typed it, I fully intend to use 'dipshitty' at least once per day for the rest of my life. GOALS.)
If I were a Democrat in-office, and I listened to a Republican accuse me of going too far, I'd simply say "if you're going to tell me I went too far, the least I can do is earn it."
Because of another person's response on this thread, I feel compelled to add:
Organized marches and protests are great, but please make sure you also contact your Representatives and Senators to leave a message (one message per issue), and come up with a simple spreadsheet to track your efforts
It's boring the first couple times, yes. But it also builds muscle-memory: saving your representatives' office-numbers in your phone; memorizing which keys to press during the automated-prompts; where to look for updates on the latest bills being proposed; it all gets easier & faster w/repetition.
Coordinating strikes are great, as long as people show up.
I'd like to try an alternative route: mass-contacting our representatives. It doesn't require nearly as much investment of time as a protest, it just takes a simple regiment of checking-in on a bill's progress, much like checking email.
Again, is it fascism or "anyone I don't like is a fascist"
Myself, I've been donating to local union strike funds, coordinating with others on industry for a strike, and I'd love the help from everyone else who talks about fascism to act like it real.
For all the up-in-arms complaining the MAGAs did that Joe went too far.. he shouldn't have... Good Ole Don said "Hold my beer"! Low and behold, MAGAs are OK with it #shocker
They breed dipshits. They follow matching orders. Don’t worry about the clowns. Follow the ringmasters. An older article that exposed fascism waaaay back in 2011, when we all were partying and sleeping at the castle walls.
I've never seen anything so pathetic.
A huge circus arena with marching bands and cheering crowds while shit-for-brains sat at a table trying and failing to look studious while he signed page after page of self-serving, vindictive hatred.
fuck
me
I was wondering if anyone else noticed how his facial muscles look different depending on the moment. I was in a relationship with a narcissist so I notice these little things.
Only to us. Not to themselves or each other. I am surrounded by these dipshits; they have 0 self awareness, 0 shame, and are 100% consumed by a manufactured rage directed at anyone and anything they perceive as Democrat or Left. They love what they’re told to love and hate what they’re told to hate
That’s crowd ain’t the brightest crowd that’s is to be expected for as long as trump is alive. He will make them look dumb. One by one they will be woke.
Jon Stewart, too.
I used to admire him ... but I will, never, ever forget — let alone forgive — his criticizing the mainstream media for being too negative in advance of yesterday's swearing-in ceremony and what it portends for the next 4 years.
@jonstewart2028.bsky.social @marymcnamara.bsky.social
Plus added in a couple hundred new orders of his own, some of which are either ethically terrible or flat-out illegal. Hence the whole "idiots screaming about Biden overreaching"; what order did Biden sign that ignored an entire Amendment of the US Constitution?
Yeah, I do not agree with an EO there.
That said, countries have made a mockery of our asylum system and the past admin did nothing to stop 15 million new migrants flooding cities across the US. NY, Chicago, Denver and many others are a mess right now.
Something has to be done.
Lmao the perfect moderate. “Mr. Trump is right that we’re being invaded by fifteen bazillion immigrants and all the other countries are laughing at us behind our backs, but I don’t agree that an executive order is the correct way to declare these hordelings to be unpeople who may be freely shot.”
Just wait until they start rounding up all the skilled labor willing to work for a pittance. Every MAGA idiot needs to be made to work in the fields and on ladders and roofs for 10.00 an hour or less.
But anything made into law can only be reversed by another law or amendment. Most of that was just for show because 47 doesn't know how the law works and was drunk with power. Biden was too smart to just make executive orders on real important matters
The only problem is Trump owns the SCOTUS, and when taken to court, he'll just keep appealing until it gets there. Then who knows what may happen. Not to mention they have the House and Senate, at least for two years.
I heard initially a lot of his stuff looked like copy and paste reuse of the same AI generated copy. I haven’t read the EOs myself because the titles alone were so moronically diabolical that they would have been too far fetched even for a screenplay of an evil ruler in a cartoon.
Thankfully the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) is a United States federal law which aims to reduce the federal government budget deficit, lower prescription drug prices, and invest in domestic energy production while promoting clean energy. It was passed by the 117th United States Congress
He rescinded the executive orders to make prescription drug prices negotiable in medicare and medicaid. That is objectively bad for anyone who cannot afford their medications. He’s just ripping up the Biden admin’s legacy with no guardrails.
Sadly, however, this doesn't make them look like dipshits *to each other*.
Within their ranks it just looks like another win to celebrate.
Getting more power is the one & only thing that matters to them. Bad PR used to be an impediment to their acquisition of power, but we are long past that now.
Always the case both here in Britain and in the US that the right can go extreme but the liberal left if they so much as enact very sensible policies they are seen as extreme. In Britain we can’t even have publicly owned utilities - a given less than 25 years ago.
Perhaps a bit less caring what the party opposition has to say, on both sides rather than just one side. There’s something to be said for shamelessly and directly acting on and defending core values. Of course, it helps to have core values to do this.
The lesson they've absorbed from Vol. I of the WWII histories is, "If the Nazis are in power, it's best to be a Nazi." They haven't had time to get around to Vol. II yet to see how things turned out.
Only way is revolution or unions. We allow this too happen. People on here have all the brotocracy places: google, cess X, in your FACEbook, etc. Since the union leaders who spouted trump as a scab work with him now than our only other option than revoltion is gone. Its up too you all
#EatTheRich
I never thought I'd say this but, MTG is right. We should have a national divorce. Kick out the rich and take half their money and stuff. Like any true proper divorce from failure of american nuclear family values or whatever #DivorceTheRich
It would if anyone remembered it. Right Wing talking points in Right Wing media & social media & by RWngers in mainstream media, have dropped that meme. It was used only to get elected & is no longer needed.
Since the election he's shown them and told them he's not going to do anything he promised but expel immigrants. They're going to find out very quickly what deporting all the workers we need from this country means.
That's true, but it wasn't much of a walk. The Blue team is always afraid to use their power and/or take stands; the bad guys just start grabbing with both hands when not tearing things down.
Nah. Democrats have always been under dogs in america. The second democrats attempted to help black people in a majority white country? It was a wrap. It's not that they were afraid to use their power. It's that the second a majority white country embraced racism hard as fuck. They had none.
Don't forget misogyny. In the meantime donate to @aclu.org and @crew.bsky.social and any other great organizations you know of. If everyone donates $10.00 per month, it adds up to a lot of money.
*Sigh* I literally didn't. Because if you know anything. White women joined in on the racism against black people. Hanging us before, during and after church. Bringing their kids to watch us die slow. And they were convinced of that because sexism told them they were inferior to men.
The reason i didn't talk about it? The reason i didn't do like i usually do and point out that racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia are gateway drugs to each other? And that all of them are inherently illogical. And that illogical thinking breeds more illogical thinking?
Because A. if white people can't give a fuck enough about racism? They for damn sure won't ACTUALLY give a fuck about sexism. Considering how both racism and sexism are most times directly tired to each other in america. Whether white people know it or not.
Dems keep acting like this is the old time republicans. They need to get hardcore against these fascists immediately. Language and action. A good start would’ve been all of them including ex presidents boycotting yesterday and using the proper language to describe him. Racist fascist
Honestly they looked like dipshits — and raging treasonous fascists — before. This, and of course Elon’s Nazi salute, tells us all we need to know about the GOP.
Republicans are taking the adage about the nazi bar and running with it. ofc, no different than before: this is the logical culmination of everything they've been pushing for.
I'm hearing from many sources that rank and file MAGA bros are getting antsy because they feel left out of the EO batches. They're saying not a single one is targeted to HELP them, only to hurt others, so they are feeling left out and ignored.
Awwwwww
Such idiocy, but part of what caused this was them succeeding in baiting the left to dig in on stupid slogans like abolish the police and trans women are women. Both of these ideas are so idiotic folks chose the less idiotic.
It is too bad. Cheating happened. It’s almost been publicly admitted now. One day the truth will out. Hopefully Musk and the orange pos land in jail. One day.
And people like David French laying in to Biden for his flurry of preemptive pardons. lol. Trump’s ChatGPT written novella of rightwing grievance assaults kinda overwhelms everything.
It's important to recognize that since they dominate the information ecosystem, and that voters are low information, yesterday's blitzkrieg was simply "Undoing all of Obama/Hillary/Biden's illegal socialist actions"
oh they never should have been allowed to get away with that "deep state" equivocation, people thought (well some in 2016 at any rate) it's like the CIA, and they actually mean humdrum domestic civil service workers.
We should remind them of this over and over whenever something bad happens in the future - they’ve “undone all the BidenBad” so whatever bad things that happen from now on is entirely their fault.
That narrative needs to die a painful death. The idea that even the most constructive nuanced polite opposition by Democrats is “woke leftism run amok” and Republicans threatening to end democracy and human rights is perfectly sane.
I saw someone very recently say how unfair it was that Biden came in and undid so much that Trump did in his first term just because Trump did it, with no thought to whether or not the changes were good.
And I'm just like...nope, no point in arguing with a person wearing fact-proof armor.
Then what about Trump's' favorite immigrant (Musk) doing his Nazi salute and then trying to say he was just meaning "his heart goes out to the people." Boy, is this 3 yrs 363 days (approx) going to be a mystery ride.
They don’t care. Not a jot. They have the wheel now and ye are in for one hell of a rough ride. But if it makes ya feel any better, the rest of us ie world, will also soon feel the repercussions of the twisted racist mf’s that voted this cunt back into office. Thanks for that btw. 😡
They looked like dipshits for a long while. It's always the flipflopping and 'Tomato in the Mirror' accusations until they get their way and they're finally mask-off like 'Yeah! We lied! Whatcha gonna do about it?!'
Oh you know they have excuses.. “have to undo Biden’s dictatorship, blah, blah, blah”. Hypocrisy abounds in those circles. As does lying, cheating, and stealing.
Boldness asymmetry is on full display. It makes me dream about what a future progressive president could accomplish. When it is pried open, the Overton window simultaneously expands on both ends of the political spectrum.
All de fuhrer does is copycat and steal. He's signed EOs to rival Joe Biden's 2021 productivity on Day 1. Dementia Don has zero original ideas. He even tried to steal pieces of Kamala Harris' campaign platform when she ran. #Blacksky
Sooooooo many people who sat this election out or just couldn't vote for a woman are going to be looking to the Dems to fix things.
Not really interested in that.
Yet, Donny Deutsch this morning on Morning Joe says “the Democrats are playing like it’s another time”, “the Democrats feel like whiners and nerds” Trump has “co-opted America’s heartbeat”. Ali Vitali “I think coronation is the right word” “This is how it is now”. The condescending is breathtaking
He thinks he has his finger on the pulse. That kind of comment is way off. First more people voted against Trump than for him. Second WWE is not America's heartbeat. Donny needs a new career. His marketing style and verbiage belong in the 90's. He's a misfit on Morning Joe
Yes let’s all collectively thank Merrick Garland for being such a powerful legal warrior. If it wasn’t for his prosecutorial efforts Trump might have returned to office.
Wait sorry wrong universe.
Congress failed to impeach twice, the American ppl failed twice to keep Trump out of office and MSM failed twice in their reporting. Trump worked the legal system.
I am going to keep saying this, I think ppl want to place the blame on the guys who did the work to bring an ex-president to trial. ✌🏾
Do you understand why pardons were issued yesterday?
Seriously, the Dems failed _politically_. It was their job to keep Trump from getting back in office. And it really should have been incredibly easy. But everybody sat back and said nothing for four years while Trump and his media allies...
...created an alternate reality for voters to believe in.
They should have had a weekly address detailing all of the crimes Trump had committed and was still committing. Instead, they did nothing. Thought it wasn't their job and that the election would win itself.
You do realize that you are wishing the Biden Administration would have been more Authoritarian in prosecuting political opponents for our political reasons? That literally makes m you begging for everything you’re accusing Trump of. 🙄
People wanted Trump prosecuted not for political reasons, but because of his many, many crimes. Crimes for which he was, in at least 34 cases, found guilty by a jury of his peers.
Pretending this is a good faith question: all of them.
Some of his crimes are tied directly to the political process, but they're still crimes. The only reason he's a convicted felon is because of all the felonies he did. And that's juat convictions, not the crimes he's publicly bragged about doing
In hindsight kinda glad he’s not on SCOTUS. While he would’ve been better than Trump appointees I could see him being good on social issues but also siding with cops and corporations

Organized marches and protests are great, but please make sure you also contact your Representatives and Senators to leave a message (one message per issue), and come up with a simple spreadsheet to track your efforts
Thought I'd open the app up & there'd be coordinating for strikes, funding union strike funds, unionizing, etc
Guess I should've realized when it stopped being a Leftist app & became a neoliberal one
But I also contacted my Senators to oppose Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi.
Tomorrow, I'll be contacting them again to oppose S.65 for Concealed Carry Reciprocity (mind you, it just got introduced today).
How about you?
I'd like to try an alternative route: mass-contacting our representatives. It doesn't require nearly as much investment of time as a protest, it just takes a simple regiment of checking-in on a bill's progress, much like checking email.

Also, I haven't done a deep-search through my profile, but I'm pretty sure I never once used the word fascism.

I'm pretty sure Trump just undid what Biden had done.
In most cases anyway.
Is that not accurate in your opinion?

I'm confused maybe.

by the way I think the use of German words to describe things the stain does is a fitting idea.
But we all know that Little Trumpy has a problem of Exaggerating the amount of something 🙄 😒 😼
And Little Trumpy is very used to rutting around like a loud rooster, but he truly has no cock. 😼
Muting.
Signing a slurry of Executive Orders that make Congress seem accessory to the office of President is virile command of the office.
Conservative logic.
