Keep speaking. Too many people are tired and normalizing the behavior. We are all tired but we have to keep calling out what is wrong. Continue to hold everyone accountable. Hold the truth.
And in the Senate, mitch McConnell does a bigoted speech about an phenomenal Law professor who often discusses the lack of impartiality with judge shopping the republicans do in texas.
Mitch McConnell is a bigot
Not certain on that. What Trump is doing is a threat to the entire government, including the Senate. They'd have but a ceremonial role in the Nation of Trumpistan,
provided Trump can secure their surrender now.
He can't lose 4: He won't get Murkowski. Cassidy voted to impeach. He burned Collins on SCOTUS appts. Cornyn's called for a full review of Gaetz. He & Thune have clashed (+he didn't get Scott). Ernst & Tillis have doubts & are both up in 2 yrs. McConnell hates him. DJT's offer is only: "surrender."
They'll "roll over" when their interests are aligned or Trump has something to give. "Surrender your Constitutional power to me, and I have nothing for you" isn't very attractive.
What is presently disturbing are the reports that Joe & Mika surrendered out fear rather than greed. If Trump gets bad nominees through over objections via retaliatory threats, the dictatorship is already here.
Well, there are many people -- as in 100 in the Senate -- who are in such a position. However, over 50 of that 100 are likely to genuflect on (nearly) all the atrocious appointments. (Of course, Collins will express concern and say Trump will learn his lesson.)
These people.
All need to go back and get an actual education.Because I don't think any of them could pass a scraid so we know Trump and musk can not even speak past the fourth grade education.So we need to do something.You cannot add people leading the country that have no education at all
He's doing a Johnson, as we say in the UK.
Boris surrounded himself with idiots, a cabinet full of incompetence, all in the name of shining a favourable light on his own shortcomings and incompetence.
He and the cabinet didn't last long, he was replaced by a lettuce.
I think your turd won't flush.
I never again want to hear someone question why a woman didn't report SA. If someone who is accused and/or convicted of SA can be elected or seated in the highest or one of the highest positions in our country, the message is loud and clear that this country doesn't care about SA.
We need to stop saying sexual assault and start saying rape. Men think it's something different when you say SA versus rape. SA is acceptable, rape is not. Let's use the appropriate language. Stop making it easy and comfortable on them.
I was using that because I am accustomed to not using the term rape due to community guideline violations on Facebook and other social media platforms.
I agree, but I think it's long past time, that we stop using SA. You'd be surprised how many people don't think it's the same thing. I found this out doing a Hotspot study on crimes in my neighborhood in college. I was shocked to find out that people don't understand the terminology.
Exactly. A friend of mine back in 1981 whose apt was broke into by a maintenance worker at the building,who had a pass key tried to report SA and the police shunned it because a key was used. They asked her what color panties were you wearing. She was in bed FFS.
Even when you don’t bring up SA, you can be dragged through the mud just because you’re a woman. Imagine if Harris brought up SA…the misogynist backlash would’ve been so much worse. Because of this attitude permeating positions of authority, I never reported SA.
I see a psychologist now for my mental health and SA has been a big part of it. I was never truly honest with any therapist from before, especially being younger and trying to avoid being judged. Thank you 🩷
It's destruction if government as we know it. Make no mistake - they know EXACTLY what they're doing.
Think about one government agency. Just one. If you eliminate it, how many months will it take for someone else eventually to have to hire competent replacements for an entire agency?
It would be laughable if it wasn't real. If you saw it on a comedy show you'd be crying with laughter. As it is sensible folk are shaking their heads at the stupidity of the picks.
I watched his speech. It's rough to see everyone just sitting there and not freaking out. But this is our world. We have to keep supporting those that want what is best for the future.
I have hope. I know we are in for a rough ride. But it's a ride worth resisting for our kids.
Reminds me of when Russia invaded other countries. They took experienced farmers off their land, replaced them with novices. Then they gave them crops that would fail. All to cause famine and break the people. Sorry to be so bleak.
“Weird” is totally appropriate for Trump’s cabinet picks, among other adjectives. Maybe if we ridicule them rather than fear them the GOP will find the courage to oppose them.
They are not interested in Governing. They are interested in demolishing your society for there own gain. They wish to turn neighbour on neighbour. They spout faux Christian beliefs to gain control over the indoctrinated. They stigmatise and alienate minorities, create false enemies.
It's like they're surprised with who they nominated to be on their ticket. Again there is no surprise here, every one knows who the Orange Nazi is these days.
I am always proud of Jim McGovern- I don’t live in his district but he has been a phenomenal rep for the human beings in 2d Mass as well as his colleagues in the House.
it's like when you let the kids pick whatever they want for dinner and they keep picking ice cream, candy and Mountain Dew. The adults are not in charge any more.
Next they'll want to put Kid Rock in charge of Forestry and Conservation and Hulk Hogan in charge of Foreign Affairs. It's not supposed to make sense.. there is nothing in government that the likes of Twatt Gaetz is qualified to do. This is all just so crazy.. my brain won't accept it.
Russia warned on Tuesday that it would respond after Ukraine fired longer-range US missiles at its territory for the first time, as President Vladimir Putin issued a nuclear threat on the 1,000th day of the war.
Trump isn’t handing out jobs. Silly. He is just accepting the biggest bribes, whether that be money or the flattery. And that none of them will ever so, “No” when he needs to commit more crimes.
I believe Trump is flooding the zone with the most outrageous, controversial people on purpose to keep everyone agitated and on end (and himself front and center of course). Secondly he's daring the GOP Senate to go against him.
There is an abundance of such energy, all over the country, but not so much in our governments because we aren't allowed to elect it. Most of it is in independents, or what the Democratic party and Republican party like to call "undecided" as if we're having trouble taking sides between two evils.
Of course it's not that we don't know what we want, because most of us very much do, and it's not that we don't care, because most of us very much do. It's just that our current system tends to offer only bad choices, and even if we know which one we prefer it's still a bad choice.
Just be glad Jeffrey Epstein isn't up for a cabinet position. I'd imagine if he were alive, he'd be in charge of the Dept of Education... oh, wait! That's one of the departments they want to eliminate. My bad!
Folks are getting so confused. There is only one logic or rationality at play: Trump is the leader of a Death Cult. That worships death & destruction in the name of "Life". The only "logic" is blind loyalty to the Dictator. There is no other value.
He's selecting a Cabinet solely based upon their ability to destroy the government & harm America.
When you accept that, it begins to make perfect sense. 😟
It is what happens when you have leaders who are compromised as a foreign intelligence asset [Russia].
the further we move away from DEI the better. It's time to stop playing make-believe with the mentally ill crowd and put real people back in charge. Close the border, strengthen the military, and stop sending all our money overseas
Furthermore Russia has officially already said that Trump had them "do things" to ensure his victory and that they OWN him. But he led an #Insurrection and the constitution bars him from ever holding office, period. We do not have to accept anything. Period.
There are two sides to #MagaMorons those who are criminals like #Nazis who are benefiting from the corruption and #NaiveSheeple who are victims of of the psychological manipulation tactics and warfare against us all. They think they're fixing the broken government and do not realize that they
They are actually putting in the very swamp they professed to be saving; because they couldn't tell the difference between the #misdirection #whatsboutism #projection & #gaslighting and are victims of the #RepublicanCrimeSyndicate not realizing they're partly to blame for allowing it to get this far
I honestly don’t think DT cares about any of these cabinet picks because he expects them all to fall in line either way. The presidency feels like his play thing.
He’s choosing unserious picks so they don’t outshine him.
You may almost think he’s doing this deliberately: Ukraine has a guy who used to be a comedian and is now the president: the USA has a guy who used to be a president and is now a comedian!
Trump is following Bannon's plan to destroy the administrative state. Appointing totally unqualified people to lead these departments is how they are going to begin to execute the plan. I wish more Congress people would directly address this point when they talk about these nominees.

A man with love and passion for his country and a spine, magine that!
This is how dictatorships begin, and unfortunately we have left ourselves with really no guardrails to stop it.
Stop going high and get nasty

Far as I can tell they’re still going to hand the country over to a fascist regime. And we’re all screwed.
I have hope. I know we are in for a rough ride. But it's a ride worth resisting for our kids.
"falsely"
"unsupported"
No. They lie. They're all liars and we need to get comfortable using that word and not sugar coating it.
I maybe went over the top wth the energy?

I tip my hat to him.....
These are key positions in our government
He’s paying back favors by these appointments and I’d bet money has changed hands for them as well.
And the devil laughs.
You need to come clean.

A fellow Masshole!!
He speaks his mind and he has balls. Which is certainly lacking in positions of leadership today.

SOMEONE MUST STOP HIM NOW!!!
The majority of Americans voted for this. I hope they get what they deserve as a result.
Amazing that we’re possibly on track to have an entire government that probably shouldn’t be allowed within 100 feet of a school.
