Twas ever thus- deprive the population of basic human needs and they go into survival mode where the intelligent, logical prefrontal cortex gets overrridden. Dictators can then amplify their fears to gain control.
Why there isn’t mass protest going on in every city is shocking to me. Trump is completely unhinged with his gutting of every government agency. His policies, racism and inability of empathy is disgraceful. American people need to stand up for Democracy. Trump and Elon dictatorship needs to stop now
I’ll tell you why: Our cops loooove to make protests violent. We have a Pres who would love nothing more than an excuse to declare martial law. We have multiple EOs condemning non-white, non-cis, non-males. It is literally unsafe to physically protest. (1/2)
(2/2) We’re all hoping the Dems will get their heads out of their asses and stop being effing cowards so we don’t have to risk our lives. We won’t wait much longer though.
Also, the speed that all of this is happening is activating a freeze response for many of us.
Because just over half the voters in the counter voted for this madness -it’s not like he hid what it was going to be like. I think he has just worn everyone down and the opposition will try to ride out the next two years to the mid terms.
Odds are most people avoid the news today and the broligarchy on meta and X are probably only letting spin be published. I let my mom know the medicare funding freeze happened because I asked if it was affecting my uncle's kidney replacement recovery care.
Who gives a flying fuck anymore about his character? We're watching a hostile takeover of our government by a drug addicted billionaire happen in real time and you're still talking about Trump's *character*???
💥 #Trump made sure his deceased older brother’s son, who suffered from #MuscularDystrophy, was deprived of the family company’s medical insurance. “Why should we give him medical coverage?” he asked 💥
Hope FAA ATC controllers sue for defamation though obviously one can't sue the President when he's going about his official business of slander and abuse.
It is an opinion piece, and unfortunately, I don’t think it counts as a headline. There is a significant difference between this and a front-page news article.
What you're not understanding is Trump no longer cares about PR stick of acting as if he cares one whit. He's now escalating his control of government to Dictatorship. He's actively purging/gutting the FBI & DOJ. Musk is over at the Treasury gaining access to millions of peoples data & trillions $$
Exactly. He no longer has to pretend to give a shit about anything. He has unchecked power and flying monkeys trying to grab the levers of administration.
Yep! When I heard what Musk was doing over at Treasury, I realized, as far as he's concerned, he is now the American Dictator. No more campaigning for him: In his mind. But we'll slap him back to reality real fast.
And the snivelling GOP members of Cong who won't do or say anything that might make Trump and Musk angry. Musk bought the President and Congress. They are letting 2 men at the top take away their responsibility for spending. The tariffs go into effect against Canada and Mexico. Won't be pretty
Psychopathy is a disability.
A much a missing part of someone’s psychology as physically is a lost limb but without the help of any prosthetic support.
Never expect empathy. Never be shocked by the lack of it. Trump is a psychopath. Prove me wrong.
Even a team leader in a call centre knows that in times of crisis you don't point fingers; that's for later. Every good leader knows this.
The fact his first reaction was to do exactly that shows he's not even fit to manage anyone
"Let it go" I'm sure the dictator would love it if people stopped pointing out what a rancid dick head he is, it's why they flood the news with shit, so they cant keep up, we need more reporting of it not less.
When will the democrates and others stand up and be counted and call trump out for his BS, laugh at him, call him a crackpot dictator & traitor to the USA!
Impeach Trump Sign here!!!
for abdicating his duty to defend the constitution
He is trying to Destroy our institutions, our alliances, our society our economy. #impeachTrump
Tell it like it actually is!
He’s a maniacal narcissist and a psychopath with zero regard for human life!
America will be the most dangerous place on the planet in a matter of weeks!
Just look at what he has done in just two weeks!
He’s a maniac get out now while you still can!
This is worth reading. What a despicable response to deaths. How dare he blame this on black people and disabled people? How dare he say these things and put down people who have fought for generations to seek equity?
After 15 months of the previous Democrat government committing genocide, and then, disgracefully, putting up one of that genocidal, number as their candidate, this is probably what the US deserves.
There were 2,243 drone strikes in the first two years of the Trump presidency, compared with 1,878 in Mr Obama's eight years in office.
Trump pledged to stop 'endless wars' but his airstrikes in Afghanistan increased civilian deaths by 330% since 2016
Do you think the number killed or the number of drone strikes is the point. The previous administration, supported and armed a genocide. Obama was respnsible for countless civilian deaths. They have no high ground.
Neither does. When has America NOT been at war or aiding war anywhere in the world? Trump has even said he will support Israel in their genocide against Gaza.
And now the Felon in Chief who VOWED no new wars is threatening war with 3 areas.
Fuck anyone who says Joe is alone in causing death.
Trump himself headed up an administration that was responsible, for ‘the indiscriminate bombings of schools, hospitals, homes and mosques.’
Trump revoked a policy set by Obama requiring US intelligence officials to publish the number of civilians killed in drone strikes outside of war zones.
If you think the Felon in Chief is not guilty of genocide you are mistaken.
Ask Yemen. The coalition’s genocide in Yemen would not be possible without the complicity of the U.S.
My only point is - neither president is innocent of aiding atrocities, don't single out one when both are complicit.
I remember that when COVID 19 was breaking out, all Trump seemed to cared about was his re-election. Now, all he seems to care about is to blame others for what happened. Trump has zero empathy for the victims. This alone makes him unqualified for the job he was elected.
The advisors who claim they’ve learned from Trump’s last term clearly haven’t. They’ll try not to make this mistake again. He doesn’t care about ordinary people, but this time, his blatant display of indifference was so over-the-top it couldn’t be ignored.
Rancid - perfect description! If only the US press had the guts to describe it this way. Maybe @mcuban.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social can join forces with the Guardian to buy the Times and the Post!
Do we need to tell Trump that Elon is Autistic which is officially categorized as a communication disorder in which could get you an IEP in school and disability rights? Like would he then fire him for being a DEI hire and America could be a little safer?

The media kept telling us Biden, Harris or Walz were the ones with issues.

In plane crash wake a baseless claim.
DEI's fault? A misplaced blame.
Why wait for truth when he can claim
Progress is the one to shame?
