CARTOON OF THE DAY 🫤🇺🇸

For the next 4 years, it's time for Democrats to stop being so eager to play nice and appease Republicans. They're not really Republicans any more. They are MAGA. If your name isn't Donald trump, they're not interested. They're not playing by the same rules. They're not playing by ANY rules.

All that matters for right-wing media, including Fox, is obedience to Trump. Facts don't matter. Reality doesn't matter. Science doesn't matter. It's all about fealty to Trump & subservience to an extremist agenda. The people who know better go along because they're paid well. All of us will suffer.

My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad. We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity. The America I know and love will never be the same. I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.

It’s laughable that the right hates California so much but has no answer on what they would do without the 5th largest economy in the world driving the economy of the United States.

@GOP

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.

WTG DJT - ripping all the firefighters and law enforcement who are trying to manage these horrific fires. Many of them voted for you! My blood is boiling, my country is burning, and you just throw gas on the fire🖕

It's OK to simply be decent and wish the best to those trying to survive these devastating fires in LA. But...nope. Can't have that because a vulgarian is about to assume power again and is utterly incapable of performing decency and humanity.

Toxic floods of lies on social media platforms like Facebook have destroyed trust not fact checkers. Let me reiterate: Mark Zuckerberg has never cared about that and never will.

I dread the daily drama. The government run by tweets. The oligarchy plundering the country. The ignorant masses making excuses for the imbecile they exalted. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed.

Spot on - there was an insurrection 4 years ago today, and while we breathed a sigh of relief for a couple years after Joe Biden was certified as President, now the insurrectionist is about to be back in power. It's like dv on a national level😢

My first principle for the new year: When it comes to issues involving democracy, I do not seek compromise with Republicans. There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

This news broke me 😢. It's just a whale, I know, but it's like #Tahlequah exemplifies the many things that feel beyond fixing now. Today of all days I wanted to be hopeful but instead I'm incredibly sad. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

If you are unclear about who calls the shots, Elon told Trump supporters on X to “fuck yourself in the face” and then Trump called the NY Post and said he agreed with Elon

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. Know the truth.

Why does Trump use harsher language and make more outrageous demands of treaty allies such as Denmark (sell Greenland) and Canada (become the 51st state), than he does of, say, Russia for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine? It’s a consistent phenomenon.

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

Has anyone on the right explained how deporting millions of workers and making people pay more for imported consumer goods will improve the economy they claim is so bad?!

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill. Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

Punishing kids with cancer to pay for tax cuts for wealthy corporations is fucking horrible. It’s just fucking horrible. Fuck cancer. Fuck these clowns.

Yup, that’s a good way to put it. GOP “detonates” a negotiated bipartisan deal then fails to pass its own bill to keep the government open.

“We must unequivocally reject the illegitimate oligarchy that seeks to usurp the authority of the United States Congress and of the American people" - Dem Rep. Rosa DeLauro www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/u...

The richest man on the world bought Twitter for $44B to influence and interfere in the 2024 election. The richest man on earth then purchased the presidency and the country for $250M+. Now, the richest man on earth has become a shadow president who is instructing The House of Rep.. We are here. 😡

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

Democrats follow norms and the constitution. Republicans bust norms and the constitution. That’s life. When Dem President Biden pardons his son from abuse by a future Trump DOJ, the NYT is livid and disgusted. When Trump abuses everything the NYT only finds him unprincipled. Maybe we need new norms?

The credulous language with which the legacy media is describing an effort by billionaires to loot the federal government. Privatizing prisons makes the more cruel. Privatizing the post office betrays a promise of access made at nation's founding. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/u...

Joe Biden was right to pardon his son. Trump pardoned his criminal co-conspirators. He's gonna pardon terrorists. ENTIRELY MISS ME with your dumb arguments about how Democrats must follow rules Republicans ignore. My latest in @thenation.com

Finally re-watched "Idiocracy" and OMFG the Cabinet Secretary scene is...well...you have to watch. Only took us 20 years to get here, not 500😢. Thankfully someone clipped it for posterity, but sadly the future is now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoZ1...

So Donald Trump wants to deport millions of immigrants - and KILL the H-2A visa for temporary farm workers Then he wants to place a 25% tariff tax on all Mexican goods - when we import over $17 BILLION of food a year from Mexico Your grocery bill is going to TRIPLE under Trump

When only one party deals in facts, facts start to sound political.
