They are not wrong that this matters little to trump voters and non voters - a big majority - who basically only care for themselves. I don't know if it's important to pick battles now, but it just might be.

trump cannot just ignore congressional laws and impound funds allocated by Congress because he wants to. Allowing him to do so FOR ANY PURPOSE only encourages him to do more. Like shut down the CFPB and the Education Department.

Follow the money; it always comes down to that! Those who are corrupt will consistently blame others for their corruption. #NOTmyPresident #Trump #Musk #WeThePeople #FreeAmerica

Rahm Emanuel literally was flippant and dense enough to say USAID “is not the hill I’m going to die on,” which will continue to age even more poorly as thousands of people die senselessly.

He also told Obama to not focus on the judiciary, hence part of the reason we are in this situation now with the courts.

This.

Wow, as if I couldn’t hate Rahm more

Rahm Emanuel is a stooge and never should have been picked for ambassador to Japan. He was an absolute failure as mayor.

What a horrible death that poor woman must have endured.

Hitler was famously content with the Sudetenland. Putin has been content with just Crimea.

Don't care it wasn't a hospital in the US

They're on the same team doesn't matter Rep or Dem.

Rahm Emanuel just wanted more senseless murders to cover up. He gets off on it.

If true, these guys are delusional and no nothing about bullies.

I apparently need to edit my advice to Democrats to include, "Don't be heartless jerks!"

Lawrence O'Donnell was on fire tonight!

The first problem is believing Trump will be satisfied.

realmaryagnes.bsky.social•14 days ago

ain't THAT the truth. He's an addict, always crying MORE MORE MORE.

He will not die on any hill, he's only there to occupy hills until the moment it's politically convenient for himself to give the whole lot to the highest bidder.

David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel should both shut the fuck up. Who are they? Just a couple of hack wussies expressing their spineless and self-serving agenda's...

I'm not a history pro, but I've heard of "the Munich Agreement" by which Neville Chamberlain became a household name for idiocy for attempting to appease Hitler by giving him Czechoslovakia. Hint: It didn't work. Those who ignore history .... repeat it.

I can't believe that the slightly more socially progressive imperialists hold the same basic disregard for human life as the openly cruel xenophobic white supremacist imperialists. /s

boobird11.bsky.social•14 days ago

Despicable.

afargreencountry.bsky.social•14 days ago

I think heartless shitbags like Rahm Emanuel are not really what the future of the Democratic party should look like. We can do better. We can be better.

restlessrebel.bsky.social•14 days ago

Must and Trump should be charged with international crimes.
