Are the Republican Senators just giving Trump enough rope to hang himself with the voters or are they just lickspittle cowards incapable of protecting our democracy? Why not both.

It turns out there are probably not enough "illegal immigrants" that Trump and the right-wing have been yelling about. ICE is not turning in the numbers that Trump needs to keep the grift going and he's getting pissed. He needs concentration camps filled with illegals to keep is crowd happy.

I think it would be fitting irony if Trump dissolved the Supreme Court.

TIL: Later Egyptian kings looted the tombs of their own predecessors when they came on hard times. They treated the tombs like they were a royal treasury. So when you read "tomb robbers" looted some ancient tomb, it's more likely it was at the behest of a Egyptian Pharaoh.

They are not "peace talks". They are "let's carve up Ukraine" between Trump and Putin talks. Don't let the frame fool you.

My daughter who works at <redacted federal department> just told me the probationary and part-time employees were fired today and half of the program she was responsible for was canceled. This is now all on the cowardly, lickspittle Republican Senate who refuse to do their check-and-balance duty

Since Reagan, the Centrist Dems styled themselves as a kinder, friendlier political party for the wealthy and they (and us) got rolled over. The New Dealers never made that mistake. But it paid well with corporate speaking tours and post-Congress job sinecures, so they have that going for them.

Don't worry. If anything goes wrong with the economy in the next few years (or probably forever), it's sure to be Biden's and the Democrats fault.

@motherjones.com.web.brid.gy If your goal is to destroy representative democracy and good government, approving crackpot (really, seriously insane) RFK, Jr. to head the Health Department is right up therel www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The more unpopular Trump and the Republicans get because of what's happening, and the closer we get to the mid-terms, the more likely Trump will declare a "NATIONAL EMERGENCY" and suspend the elections.

Nazi Germany first tried to expel all the Jews to other countries and when they wouldn't take them, they built the concentration camps. Since they had the camps they started putting in the undesirables-homosexuals, political dissidents, mental and physical defectives, etc. (1/2)

"No President is above the Law!" Unless you've corrupted and stacked the Judiciary with right-wing fanatics & religious nutcases. "A Government of Checks and Balances!" Unless the Legislative Branch is controlled by toadies & cowards. Representative Government has always been their enemy.

You can't have social justice without economic justice. You can have both but you have to WIN ELECTIONS. Open the door with the latter and the former can walk right in. Abandoning left populism (progressivism) for milquetoast centrism was (and is) a disaster. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

I do believe Donald Trump and his cronies are in the "fuck around" stage. And as I believe in the resiliency of American democracy, there will be a "find out" conclusion.

Congressional Democrats should speak up loudly and clearly that Federal workers should NOT take the buyout and that anyone illegally fired will get their jobs back along with back pay when Trump and Republicans are out of power.

Tesla sales in China fall four months in a row. European sales down 60%. So, of course, Musk wants control of the US Treasury to start looting that. Let's not even mention Twitter.

Musk and his fellow criminals probably have my SSN and my medical records (in defiance of HIPAA laws), and you bet your ass I'm going to sue that motherfucker after all this plays out.

If they fire you, you can sue. If you take the buy-out...

The only institution that can stop Trump is the U.S Senate. At some point enough Republican Senators have to start putting country over their personal political careers and join with the Democrats to do something. It's just a case of seeing how much damage will be done. I'm not holding my breath.
