Our government is being dismantled in a fast-moving coup because a bunch of ostensible adults are afraid of mean tweets from a spent 78 year old skin bag who wears Oompa Loompa makeup.

Here’s another way to think about it. We import roughly $3.25 trillion in goods every year. Income tax receipts total roughly $2.2 trillion. So we’d need a universal tariff rate of, give or take, 65% to be able to do away w the IRS. But… 1/2

Drunken frat boy Pete Hegseth is in Europe, selling out Ukraine to Putin at a blistering pace, Tulsi is about to compromise sources around the world because she hates the intelligence community with a fiery passion. Trump will pardon Snowden any minute now.

When America reaps the whirlwind of putting Tulsi Gabbard in as the director of national intelligence, it will cost lives and honor beyond what you can imagine.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

1. Blue States give more than they take. 2. Red States take more than they give. 3. During a crisis, this should be the United States. 4. Republicans are assholes. It’s as simple as that.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

This is likely due to my Southern Baptist upbringing, but I am highly sensitive to any belief system, political or religious, right, left, or otherwise, that demands conformity, is too certain of its own correctness, does not allow for reasoned dissent, and refuses to consider other points of view.

Dear Joe, I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act. So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now. ~ Everyone

What an ingrate move to denigrate the only state that gave him the space and freedom to innovate. None of these tech bros could have done what they did anywhere else but in tolerant and inclusive places like California or Washington www.thedailybeast.com//zuckerberg-...

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

Imagine having been 2nd in line to the Presidency, a job few have had, and debasing yourself so thoroughly just a week after Trump said you were the worst speaker. Kevin McCarthy for ya

Wow. Every time Jimmy Carter flew on a plane, he shook hands with each person on the plane. “That's who he was. Someone who treated people as people.”

$16 billion was spent in the last election. Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over. Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires. Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy. For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

Jimmy Carter putting his peanut farm into a blind trust reminds me of that time Donald Trump’s son-in-law took $2 Billion from the Saudis who murdered Jamal Khashoggi.

I've seen a bunch of posts about the followback culture on here. Let me just say two words about this: IT'S STUPID. I have 493 followers out of 7536 who follow at least 5000 others. 20 of them follow over 100,000 others. 🤦 These attention seekers do not care about your posts. Stop feeding them.

Anyone who’s been on CNN w Scott Jennings knows what a fraud he is. Last time I was on w him he asserted that the problem with antisemitism is entirely on the left. I pinned him down over Trump’s Kanye/Nick Fuentes dinner. He selectively edited the clip to take that part out and released it. Fraud.
