Yeah, when I watched this it broke my heart because I could see how it changed my dad.
Liberal geek trying to survive in Texas. New to activism but insanely stubborn. Democracy is the hill I'd die on. With liberty and justice for all is not a slogan to me.

Did he really think he was going to win? That guy wasn't even trying. He was respectfully trying not to embarrass Eric.
Such a silly notion. That's a lot of looking places. We don't even have that many troops.
I'm pretty sure that isn't why we're drawing down our presence in Europe. I would imagine that was a direct order from Putin.
And there are no new jobs
Reagan would need to own what has happened since he helped start this. Everything about his presidency led to this moment. Changing the tax laws to benefit the rich, busting unions, letting gay people die out of hate, flaming the hatred of evangelicals, and so many other things. He was a POS
I'm still wondering, did they actually change the law about sidewalk chalk, or did they just put up signs? I feel like Republicans think they make laws by just waving their hands
I'm sorry. I can't handle this. A grown ass man apologizing, taking accountability from his actions? I'm unaccustomed to such behavior.
I wonder if Modi knows how racist Putin is?
Here's the thing. It plummets during a recession or immediately following a recession. Wouldn't this indicate that we're actually in a recession but something is wrong with the numbers? I feel like nobody is accounting for the tariff purchasing impact to the numbers.
Why isn't the news showing protests? I'm legitimately asking. It would get ratings. I mean, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I want to make sure I'm not crazy.
But, but, he thinks he's so clever with his little school rhyme there. "Abdul", is that the new version of the N word?
I have given up on believing the NYT cares about anything other than its rich owners making more money
OMG. OMG. OMFG. He was serious about turning Gaza into some beach side golf resorts?? THERE'S A PLAN??? Oh excuse the mess, dear guests, we're still cleaning up from the genocide. WTAF
Is that code for "I'm a dick"?
Thank you. That's the best thing I've read all day. Love wins.
Yeah, that one needs to be tried for treason asap
If they think that MAGA will respond to Vance the same way as Trump just because FOX News tells them to, they are delusional. No one likes Vance
Can doctors go on strike?
FINALLY!!!
One quibble, they aren't exploited "to keep our economy running." They're exploited to fill the pockets of CEOs and other billionaires. It's the degree of their exploitation that is egregious. Otherwise, we're all being exploited. And it has to stop
Are we sure he knows what an expert is?
Yeah, an Executive Order has no more legal weight than one of his social media posts. What's that saying? If wishes were fishes...
You know, I didn't even remember her name until they buried her with military honors. I barely remembered one of the insurrectionists died until they gave her family money. But now, I will never forget her name, and not in a good way.
And when we get back Congress, not only can we take his little plane that the Qataris didn't want anymore, but we can take a lot of other things, too, like the money he made off his meme coin.
Except they are unlikely to help farmers. Thiel and Vance want to buy up the farms cheap
They've killed children in their custody, so clearly they don't care
The fact that our courts don't chew them up and spit them out is always a mystery to me.
My father had congestive heart failure. He lived 3 years with it. There was a moment though, at the beginning of that last year, when his health went off a cliff. Maybe that's what just happened to Trump? Or maybe it's my wishful thinking
No, we will never be friends. We are at war.
The entitled raising more entitled people. That's the problem. Consequences, we need to bring them back
Shock and dismay. A CEO being a total tool. Quel surprise. If the hat isn't worth a scandal, then why did you steal it, you entitled cretin?
Just quietly, so we don't disturb anyone
Ok, Dems, you have failed. This shouldn't be the first I'm hearing about this.
And how about we pay attention to facts? Children are being hunted down at school. Why aren't we emailing ourselves of every conceivable tool to protect them? Because it means losing NRA money, or billionaire contributions to keep us poor and miserable. And because it would mean helping people.
It isn't just young people. I'm old, and I'm tired of their 1970s style of politics
Sounds like we need an amendment. That's a lot of work. Republicans fought for 50 years to take our rights away. How long will the Pro Choice coalition fight for an Amendment?
And that's why it's a war crime
I stand with Ukraine!
Yeah, all this nonsense about taking away our right to vote is just meant to scare us. It will never happen, and I will never stop fighting for our rights. It isn't a democracy if we aren't ALL equal
They really haven't read it, have they?
See? Science is awesome! Humans are limitlessly creative. Imagine what we can do in another 100 years, if we take back power
Did they pass an actual law, or did they just post signs?
Also, if anyone paying attention to this war thinks Russia can defeat Ukraine, then you're not seeing what I'm seeing. Russia is hanging on by a thread. Then Ukraine can stomp on his head. Supposedly, P-Dummy is the richest man in the world. That'll do for reparations.
You can be proud and still learn about slavery. You're proud because you would never let a thing like that happen again in America. Oh, wait. Well, some of us can do that
So much for ending wars
Didn't they say that Biden was just a body double? We can just borrow their own conspiracies.
Actually, I say repurpose it. Have a much bigger press room, so more independent media can be there and more office space. They always need more. But it won't be built, the ballroom. They won't even start working on it for another year, and by then, we'll be able to stop him.
It's about power. Just like rape isn't about sex. They just want to hurt people.
I'm hoping they get paid for each person they grab, so we have a good audit trail of how many counts of aggravated kidnapping we can charge them with, each and every one of them
I do miss him. Excellent impression
Sounds impeachable to me
Bravo!
Afraid of sidewalk chalk? Tell me again. Who's the snowflake?
Science isn't divisive. Facts aren't divisive. Humans are fragile and struggle facing the truth. Ask Galileo. But why don't you try getting over yourself. Vaccines are safe and save lives. Gender is determined in the brain. The earth revolves around the sun. Suck it up, buttercup
What I wouldn't give to see this lying, manipulative piece of trash lose to a Democrat.
Although not until we take back Congress. I don't want Vance to pardon him
I feel like Democratic leadership isn't listening. We like you guys only slightly more than MAGA. Stop doing things the way you've always done them. We hate that.
Stop it! It makes me want one
I heard part of this story. Did they ask firefighters to stop fighting a fire so they could question their immigration status? Did that happen? There's so much stupid in this Administration I won't be surprised, but DAMN this is a new level of twatness
It's the Fifth Amendment, you asshat! The first two words, "No person". Not "no citizen nor naturalized citizen," but "no person". It's the CONSTITUTION!! Read it! It's your job!!
I would like Colbert to have more money than Trump. That would make me happy
Well, he hasn't actually got it yet. I suspect Europe has plans. I seriously doubt Poland and others aren't taking this seriously. What they say in public may be another thing entirely. And Germany is scaling up their military fairly quickly. We'll see
And updating the bucket list...
Yeah, the map stuff always freaked me out. I will never forget that episode of The West Wing. It's just dumb to continue to use something so inaccurate and antiquated. Let's join the 21st century and show things as they are
I'd like them to add a rainbow flag and a Jolly Roger
You're not alone. There are many of us, and we're fighting all the time. Don't let them convince you to give up. We're with you. We're knocking on doors, planning protests, showing up to city council meetings, registering voters, raising money, etc. I won't give up.
This is SO IMPORTANT!! It's why we don't want Jeffries and Schumer. They'll go back to business as usual. Unless I hear, from the two of them, what their plan is if they take back Congress, I have zero trust that they know how to handle this situation. Day 2, impeach & convict Trump & Vance.
How does so much of the rest of the world get this, but the U.S. can't imagine it?
I am so fond of Macron these days. We need world leaders saying more of this
What excellent names! I shall use these going forward. Rolldemort. Awesome
We've had hundreds of mass shootings in the last year. Can you seriously not do basic math???
Yeah, people really do not understand the impact of this, nor the impact of choosing to stay chained to fossil fuels. It'll be quite the albatross around our necks.
Holy shit. Yes, it's time to give Starbucks the Tesla treatment. If Congress won't defend us and help us fight giant corporations with nearly infinite resources, then we have to stand up for ourselves.
And it will never be forgotten. His name is going to go down in history with the likes of Goebbels. Architects of brutality and cruelty are never forgotten.
Every day, I wake up and think, "I can't possibly hate these people more," but I'm always wrong. There are many reasons, but the immigration thing induces rage. Treating human beings this way deserves severe punishment. I want every ICE agent in jail when this is over.
He's getting it. Russia is at war with democracies, all of them. Putin wants to tear them all down. We need to treat him like the enemy he is. We are at war. We should declare it. It just doesn't involve bombs, yet.
Putin, Netanyahu, Trump, what a happy day that would be.
I'm pretty sure he did. I thought I saw a statement that politely told him the threats would have no impact on the award, since the government doesn't choose the recipients. Now that we've seen Newsom's game on Twitter, he should have put it in all caps
That's what I would consider a good thing. MAGA doesn't like Vance. Republicans wouldn't follow his commands so readily.
I have found watching Ukrainians blow up Russian military targets comforting. Something about seeing a democracy fight for itself gives me hope.
And has treating all Americans with allergies like drug dealers stopped all meth production? Failed policies should be abandoned. When will we get that
Seriously. They seem to keep giving him various parties to plan. I'm so sorry that the job of being President is so freaking boring for you, old man
He better debunk it. I'm tired of watching these assholes go on TV and lie constantly with no pushback. I'd rather see the show skip all of the other questions or topics and just have them push on the lie, keep pushing, until they lose it
Especially the Covid vaccine. He's just getting started with the drugs he'll ban, like SSRI's. But I'm fairly certain he won't try to ban Viagra
It is really hard today to think clearly and critically. I'm just so sad about what has happened and what will happen in the next year.
This is how we all should live.
That is the scariest thing I've ever heard. That would be catastrophic.
This just needs to be standard. Killian's!!
Another party for Trump to plan. I wonder how often they'll do this? Or are they just trying to keep him alive and occupied until after they rig the midterms? Then there won't be any more elections, and Vance can take over in 2027.
So who is running against Johnson next year?
You left off Russia
Yeah, it would be nice if the media said something. It would be even nicer if Congress acted. Just a thought
Chewing gum. Can't believe people still spit it on the ground or stick it to the bottom of furniture. So disgusting
People are expendable, well, poor people. These days that's anyone with less than $1 billion.
Yeah, I can't see him getting the nomination. I'm grateful for the fight, but it's going to be a tough field this time, and he likely won't win the nomination.
See, Trump worshippers, that is what a real man looks and sounds like. Your orange god can't hold a candle to that.
If prayer worked, there'd suddenly be a pile of dead bodies all over Washington
Isn't that illegal?
200 days? Hasn't he been on vacation half that time? Or was the vacation code for trying to overthrow the Ukrainian government or Denmark's control of Greenland?
