Always like to see a drunken, incoherent shitbag pass judgment on someone whose boots he's not fit to clean. About one step away from the "What do you call a black man with a Ph.D./four stars on his epaulets?" question

Want to run government like a startup? Fun fact: 90% of startups fail. Trump and Musk are speedrunning that failure rate with America's economy. Your 401k sends its regards. www.theindex.media/america-vote...

A full-on purge of the military leadership, targeting women and people of color. This perfectly captures where we are: An escalating authoritarian takeover of the state, combined with an aggressive program to re-segregate the spheres of influence and power and restore complete white male dominance.

Why are so few former Joint Chiefs speaking out? Four stars? FBI Directors? Former Senators? Presidents? Thanks to those that do but we need some courage now!

Starlink, Space X, Tesla and X are both economic and political vehicles created not just to enrich but empower their owner. He is an ignorant, racist, rogue, narcissist who supports America's enemies and an anti-democratic, white supremacist agenda. Supporting those companies in any way at all...

From @stephaniekelton.bsky.social : “PARTISAN DISHONESTY” of Trump & Musk’s “Doge Dividend Checks” plan stephaniekelton.substack.com/p/stimulus-c... sending people checks is only inflationary when Dems do it?🤷🏻👇🏽 — They pretend to care about the debt, a political game to set up tax cuts for the rich

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Important observation by @natashabertrand.bsky.social.⬇️ Now ask yourself, why would Secretary Hegseth and President Trump want to remove the most senior military lawyers?
