Trump just fired the Joint Chief of Staff to install his own puppet. Do you really think he plans on leaving in 2028? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

In a shocking display of incompetence, tRump fired General CQ Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. This reckless decision is a blatant attack on military integrity, leaving a power vacuum that could jeopardize national security. www.axios.com/2025/02/22/t...

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

Anyone else surprised that Trump fires a black Joint Chiefs Chairman and replaced him with a lower ranked and less experienced white man?! These blatantly racist Nazi moves are fucked beyond words! Anyone else think so?! 😡😤🤬 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Another shakedown: U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Republicans are embracing full on fascism. Nazi salutes, siding with murderous dictators, trash talking our allies, promoting hate, racist ideology, and bigotry, as well as, gaslighting Americans 24/7. In 30 days Trump & Republicans have managed to tank America’s reputation. The world hates us.

One of the Trump voters - "it is becoming obvious that the oligarchs, and Musk especially, are taking advantage of justified public outrage against wokeness and DEI" No contrition on their intolerance of minorities, just self obsessed regret. As a dear friend used to say - "Little pieces of shit"

83% (!!!) of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters, according to a new WaPo/Ipsos poll.

These people voted willingly and knowingly thinking Trump will only hurt liberals and blue states. They had no problem when it was "hurt thy neighbor", so this regret and surprise warrants no sympathy. Rather they deserve only mockery and condescension! www.buzzfeed.com/natashajokic...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

These are talking points straight from the Kremlin. It is clear that Trump’s plan to “end the war” is to remove Zelenskyy, replace him with a Putin stooge, and then let Putin take over Ukraine.

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

Instead of being sent to prison for his many crimes against the United States, the orange felon was given full power of the US govt and is now referring to himself as a King. I hate him with every fiber of my being and I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this tyrannical shit.
