You know it’s bad when the last Jobs Report numbers were bad so you fired the statistician, replaced them with your own - and the numbers are STILL bad

If Trump and MAGA horseshit hadn’t lied to her she would not have been there Tragically she probably thought she was defending the Constitution Hold onto that thought if MAGA refuse to accept the results of the midterms. They’ll call us the new J6ers as an attack line against us It’s coming
One of his voters told him it wasn’t a hoax He does not care about anybody besides himself
I’ll believe it when I see it
If any other country voluntarily chose such inept, cruel, degenerate idiots as leaders we’d all agree they were in decline We are no different
Let’s celebrate
It’s bullshit posturing to his base and real talk that’s been more than enough for his voters. They don’t want to feel weak so performative assholery more than compensates for that While not a majority they are like a neutron star - growing hotter and denser as gravity pulls them in on each other
“Soon to be”? When was the last time you were here
Yup. He’s like the raptor that learned how to turn the doorknob on January 6
If he sees his shadow there will be 6 more weeks of burritos!
Trans people are not asking for “too much” - they’re asking for the same as any other person “Those accustomed to privilege see equity as oppression”
…fair.
Clearly this is coming from somebody who knows his way around Dominos And as far as human traffickers - what should we do with them, send them to Club Fed? That’s the plan, Rafael?
Let’s call a spade a spade here - we need leaders who put public health before getting likes and lolz on Facebook to boost their fucking Klout score for self-validation purposes
Not being a cruel pathetic asshole to the trans community is not “kowtowing” - it’s basic fucking decency Makes sense why the Trump family doesn’t understand that
Making disingenuous claims and peddling flat out bullshit has worked with his base for over a decade I think he may be very surprised at how that’s not working for this one issue
“You tried to hold us accountable and now you’ll pay!”
It interferes with my original full time job to be honest
Massie has been in lock step with Trump since 2016. His policy positions are just as cruel as what MAGA wants His only two differences are A) tariffs are a tax and B) we shouldn’t protect child sex traffickers Defying Trump and MAGA’s bullshit fantasy is his only sin - but it’s the cardinal sin
Anybody who screams “FIRST AMENDMENT!!!” - understand this: They are NOT afraid of losing their free speech rights They ARE afraid of is losing the freedom from the consequences of their speech
That’s not the feeling. That’s the point It’s weak, wealthy, asshole men who are trying to shut them up because they are a threat to them Anybody who wants to see that gets it. Anybody else is a Trump cultist The fucking end
Nothing screams “I’m innocent!” like ordering military jets to interrupt a press conference where the victims of the most notorious child sex trafficker of our lifetimes - whose accomplice got moved to Club Fed for an easier sentence - share their stories That’s a perfectly normal thing to do
It’s bigger than Trump…it’s about bullshit disinformation ecosystem angled at telling low info voters A) Everything is great B) Your problems? They’re caused by people you’re already prejudiced against C) You’re smarter than “them” D) Therefore give up your rights and $ to fight imaginary boogeymen
It’s also common sense to not send classified attack info to your spouse who has no business knowing any military secrets but whaddayafuckinknow right
Picking inept sycophants as “leaders” is a hallmark of authoritarians People too unaware to understand how their blind loyalty is wrecking everything makes them incredibly easy to control. This is a feature, not a bug
If it’s an “unintended consequence” they can fix it anytime If Trump can (ironically) call Greg Abbott and say get me 5 more congressional seats with bullshit racist maps and they do it these people can update how a hotline works But they don’t. It doesn’t make them money so it’s not a priority
This Tens of millions have shown they don’t give a fuck about the constitution if it affects them in any way at all whatsoever. Their response to acknowledging social problems is fascism. It’s been a decade, we know The people planning and executing this are included in that lot
It’s possible because tens of millions of Americans have been fully radicalized against pluralism and representative democracy
“I’ll take “No Shit” for $600, Ken”
Finally some honesty
Remember how we never had to ask this question before Trump and MAGA? That’s your answer
Because Americans pay tariffs (that’s how they work) if this were true it would mean that - assuming 340M total pop - every man, woman and child has paid $23,529.11 in tariffs Most have not earned that amount of $ since the tariffs went into effect If you buy this - maybe it’s not us that have TDS
Considering we’ve farmed out all space flight and research to the private sector this is what everything else is in MAGA world - cultural masturbation
Let’s call it what it is - Dems are afraid the Zohran effect will cost THEIR DONORS If they talked like Zohran we would never have had Trump But it’ll cost the Top 0.1% and that’s unfortunately who donate This is only complicated when you factor in their need to keep their wealth at all costs
We watched it today…hold on..
The DNC has had one job since 2015 - best Trump And given just how horrible of a president and human being he is, his rampant criminality and his shamelessness as a public figure ANYBODY should have been able to beat him. They couldn’t Me “chipping in just $3!” is a waster of time and money
We’re already fucking embarrassed Now it’s about trying to help everyday Americans be less poor by not paying tariffs to fund our billionaires’ tax cuts
He’s so full of shit I can smell him through the tv
I went to DC in May for a convention. I stayed in a hotel in Alexandria and took the metro to/from every day and also to visit a friend, get around the city and to/from the airport I was never unsafe. I never felt in danger These MAGA people influencing others are ghouls of the highest order
…and yet if the polls came back glowing for MAGA Mikes death-to-the-poor horseshit he’d have no issues with the credibility of the poll
She should ask Stephen Miller what he thinks of her genetics and background and really think if she’s on their team
Any country that would voluntarily choose Trump as their leader is in decline This isn’t debatable lol. We started our decline in 2010 with the wave of GOP horseshit because a person of color was elected and tried to help their healthcare Fox News is at the core of our dimishment
They can have alpha sigma male races to see if they can reload in under 30 seconds It’ll be fine. They can also use those stupid hats they wore when they complained about being taxed too much only to cheer on tariffs they pay a decade later
How about we offer an originalist compromise - citizens can have as many smoothbore, muzzle-loading flintlock muskets as they like I think that’s fair and likely closer to what the writers of the Constitution intended
Just fucking tired of MAGA’s perpetual incessant whining after the Minneapolis shooting that they “hate when everything is politicized” while the fundamental cornerstone of their fascist movement is politicizing everything
If they couldn’t figure out how to beat a 34x felon, half a billion dollar fraud, sexual assaulting twice impeached coup plotter then no, my “CHIP IN $3!” won’t help I’ve donated to AOC since her primary win and that’s the only person I donate to
…are these the immigrants we are so terrified of? Seems like they care about their people and have their shit together
If the Founding Fathers - wealthy aristocrats, many of which owned slaves - knew that firearms would evolve into AR-15s with 3D printable bump stocks they probably would’ve written the 2nd Amendment differently
Then stop fucking voting for it FFS
LFG
And they wonder why fundraising has cratered
I’m envious of people who are older now or have recently passed away that they got to live in a stable democracy their whole lives and the biggest threats they faced as an American weren’t from other Americans
Let’s call it what it is - corporate media When the news started going on TV it was because corporations wanted to make money and the news got eyeballs (= ad revenue) It things aren’t profitable corporations don’t do them Let’s stop asking for journalistic integrity when that’s not their motive
If Trump said “we launched 90 lawsuits, only 60 of which had standing. After those 60+ legal challenges, recounts, audits and reviews - many overseen by my appointees - didn’t affect vote counts, Biden will take office and we’ll try again in 24” Ashli Babbitt wouldn’t have been at the Capitol on J6
I think it was because he wanted to do no harm. Banning vaccines is harm
Hey good news - if you want a vaccine all you need to do is start smoking and you’ll be qualified as an adult See? Easy
Hey good news - if you want a vaccine all you need to do is start smoking and you’ll be qualified as an adult See? Easy
Anything that helps keep them from shooting civilians…I’m in
A good image would be fellow citizens stepping in to help out with things like picking up garbage Really create an actual image of the patent absurdity of their presence along with trying to ease tensions
I’m not into copium - they are fascistic and terrifying and we must be vigilant 24/7 That said - they are breathtakingly shortsighted and inept. The Guard is picking up trash. Jack Smith saying they claimed there’s an investigation - but nothings happened I can understand where the post comes from
Yes, no and no
Hear me out - and I know I’m some crazy Dem voter - but if we invested more in city sanitation workers and equipment we wouldn’t need the fucking military to come into DC to pick up garbage I know, I’m crazy. Nevermind
Oh good they got one of the 4 MAGA voters who had a change of heart 93% of MAGA approve of him at present Let’s not delude ourselves
Goes without saying he had no problem with mail in voting in 2016 and 2024
For himself? In crypto? From Qatar? Christ
This is why we don’t need corporate Dems If rich people are funding candidates of any sort they should be disregarded immediately
“Can” cry fraud and refuse to seat them? It’s will. Will refuse That’s what cults do for their leader
Touché
Indeed. I was a college student earning my Masters between the ages of 28-30 while working a full time job
Probably because A) it’s terrifying and B) Leaders would have to publicly acknowledge their failures to stop him
Somewhat surprised that piece of information actually came out of our government
Given the circumstances if there is no violence and it’s clear they are not needed there at all…that’s an ok outcome tbh
They understand who the real president it Trump is just there to be lauded, play golf, make a ton of cash and most importantly stay out of jail The fascism is direct from Stephen Miller
I tell people now they have to shift their paradigm It’s not about “is this legal?” please Pam Bondi is in her job specifically to prevent any consequences for him The question we need to ask is”who or what would stop him?” and the answer to most questions is usually nothing
The Democrats and the Proud Boys are not the same thing If unsure ask where each group was on January 6th 2021 and that’s your fucking clue
This is the message people need to hear now as Trump and his team do everything they can to avoid 2026
Tbh anybody who opposes the fascism we’ll take - awkwardness and all We can sort things out via the constitution later
…but do the wealthy Dem donors want this person to fight back? And do the focus groups say it’s ok? Welcome to the team
It only takes one to invade unprovoked because you want to recreate the Soviet Union
Glad he’s grasping at bullshit I mean that is the reason he exists but he’s sounding desperate so that’s a plus
Haha yesss “You have the total and complete freedom to pick from the options we’ve pre-selected for you”
I saw the tradwife SOTU response I’m good
They hate pluralism and non millionaire Americans that’s for sure
It plays into a bigger problem - over a third of corporate donations went to Dems (!) They want something in return. Conspiracy theory but I think that’s why we had a huge focus on social issues (def important) but little on wages and affordability Social issues don’t cost much $ - wages/costs do
On Earth 2 this would be an epic self-own but we live here and Fox News and Twitter exist so that’s that
And Gary Condit - remember that?! I long for the time when scandals mattered
I can imagine. It’s like the “summer of the sharks” back in the 90s/2000s…when news was slow networks focused on shark attacks and when it was busy they did less so The number of shark attacks was constant but public perception moved depending on coverage volume Maths checks out why we’re here
As somebody who worked on cruise ships full time for over 5 years…unless you are reliving your sophomore year spring break trip to Panama City buy a la carte You need to be drinking at a sprinters pace to make the drink package a fiscally viable choice Not to mention you’ll be hung over as shit
They’ve never had a problem getting financial assistance from them though Never been terrified of that Just the pluralism I guess
There isn’t
“They make stories up” Right. Trump is the “they”
There are about 10, maybe 15 Dems meeting this moment The others need to do better
I went to Prague in 2016; a tour guide said when he was grew up his parents took educated jobs (dr and teacher) even though the manufacturing jobs paid more That made it obvious to me - an uneducated public is easier to control That’s why the Soviets - and now the MAGA US - demonizes education
“She’s” welcome to join the rig HR side of history anytime Quotes because it could very well be a bot
Too fucking bad They voted away their voice en masse last year If they want to fight back they’re welcome to join us. Until then thoughts and prayers
We only have to because enough people want to and enough people allow it to happen Just so sad
I miss Sen Jones. He’s one of the best of us
They’ll be over it as soon as Bucees changes their logo
I often think that we just needed all of the people who were alive during WWII who could share their own experiences to pass away so we could try this stupid shit ourselves
