when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Let the record reflect Donald Trump did not spend the weekend in the office working to mitigate the deepening global crisis he gratuitously caused last Thursday. He spent it playing in the seniors club championship at some golf club he owns in Florida.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Redate this to today and it becomes a stunning moment of self-realization we will never actually experience in this space-time continuum

Pretend Cuba’s a nuclear power w/a lust for invading. Say it wants more border space. One day it invades us, takes 20K kids, occupies FL, killing thousands. We fight hard for 3 yrs! Then someone says “Give up FL or else!” Would we give in? Would we want our prez kissing that person’s feet? Nope!

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

When do you think DJT will realize that he’s just a tool for richer, smarter guys who wouldn’t give him the time of day if he wasn’t where he is?

So let me get this straight … Republicans want people terrified of the maybe 10 total trans athletes in the NCAA. But a billionaire literally stealing every American’s personal information is not a concern?

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

Hargraves: Nobody with the last name Trump has ever served in uniform in 150 years. Families like the Trumps don’t sacrifice their own lives or the lives of their children. They convince poor people to sacrifice their lives on their behalf.

As the Jack Smith report gets tied up in court with stall tactics, it would seem prudent for some investigative reporter to file a FOIA request so that it can be produced if and when the cases are killed after Jan 20. Pending cases are excepted from FOIA. Closed investigations are not.

Hi!!! 🙋🏼‍♀️ This Alabama 🔵 surrounded by MAGA, is taking time away from MSM to build a new community here on Bluesky & finally delete X. Any advice on how to effectively do that would be greatly appreciated. It took 8 years to reach 254 followers over there, and I’m hoping to do better. Thank you! 💙
