Huge, but only temporary glee! In this upside down world, it’s not an actual WIN until after SCOTUS denies certiorari or rules . . . 😔

Huge, but only temporary glee! In this upside down world, it’s not an actual WIN until after SCOTUS denies certiorari or rules . . . 😔
Ever feel great initial satisfaction at these lower court rulings, but then realize it’s only a matter of time until the evil 6 on SCOTUS find a way to twist the Constitution into a pretzel until they bend it to Trumps will⁉️🤦♀️ Wish I understood what SCOTUS gets out of destroying Democracy . . .
That’s one side of it - another is the millions who live on ‘Earth 2’ - a fantasy world created by MAGA & Fox News & other right wing media organizations - those viewers are fed ‘alternative facts’ - only info that supports MAGA’s lies & gaslighting. Scary post truth world we live in!😳
Seriously, right? 90 fucking 2 and he’s running again⁉️😳 He’s Republican though - so does it matter? 🤣
The hypocrisy of Trumpism is truly mind blowing . . . 🤯
It feels like the majority of the American public is sleep walking . . . maybe we need another shoe or two to drop to wake people up⁉️🤷♀️
It’s always been a class war! The wealthy have always pitted us AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, becuz they know when WE stand together, they don’t stand a chance . . . Stop 🛑 being divided! White, Black, Brown, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Woman, Man . . . When we stand together, WE win. . . Support Unions! 💪
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Someone is playing games with the wording folks! The actual wording says that folks in those positions are each subject to impeachment as a remedy . . .🤦♀️
RFK Jr is a nut job who kills . . . Put Musk in the same special place in hell because of his removal of USAID HIV and food aid which will result in millions of deaths overseas . . . 💪
Absolutely! They can start by passing a state law that all law enforcement within their state borders may NOT wear masks & must have badges & identities clearly visible. They can arrest & jail ICE & other federal agents who do not comply. It’s small, but it’s a beginning? 🤷♀️
And ONLY if he’s the state! The hypocrisy of Trump & Republicans is mind blowing . . . 🤯
How about you pass reasonable gun safety legislation, instead of just yapping about ‘thoughts & prayers’ . . . that would provide both comfort AND positive change that save lives . . . 🤦♀️ Being able to blast watermelons to smithereens for ‘fun’ isn’t a good reason to allow weapons of war . . .
Guy is a nut job! He’s also the perfect example of how stupid & craven our idiot President is . . . Trump traded Americas public health for a few lousy votes . . . 🤦♀️
YES! He is a hero who stood up to one of the most craven idiots who ever sat in the Oval . . . Dr. Fauci saved many lives & saved the sanity of millions by talking truth, facts & science! Thank you Dr. Fauci! 🙏😊
Thank goodness for the courts is right! Perfect illustration of why protecting & strengthening the Rule Of Law is so critical in this country . . . 😤
Great point! Seems some Dems are pretty quick to ‘cancel’ people though too . . . just for using the wrong pronoun or similar type of faux pas . . . The entire political spectrum could use some tolerance education I think?🤷♀️
Republicans buy back rural votes with farmer bail outs - every fucking time! It’s infuriating, I agree . . . I care deeply about family farms - they’re critical - but the system needs fixing at the root of the problem so we’re not wasting tax dollars on both ends! 😠
I argued with a guy I used to work with - he had 3 assault type weapons - his justifications: *I’m an American - it’s my right! *It’s fun to blow watermelons to smithereens *only mentally ill people are a problem to have one Weapons of war have no place in our society, period! 😔
Apparently not - there was proof of life today at a golf course . . . 🤦♀️

Thx Patrick! I appreciate you . . .🙏😊
I saw that Chicago Mayor signed an executive order that all law enforcement in the city must not be masked & must have badge & ID visible. Can’t all Blue States do this? Rush through a State law - make it a felony & arrest ICE who do not comply? 🤷♀️
Scary, evil dude! Just looking at him gives me the creeps, let alone listening to his Nazi rhetoric . . . 🤮😳👿
This was THE best thread I could have read today . . . thank you! 🙏😊
I love their squarish jaws . . . so majestic! 💕
I’m a concerned Canadian from up North, who has been living in the states down South, for a couple decades now. This entire Administration is looney tunes folks! The Trump MAGA movement has flipped Republican ideology (& all politics!) on its head - it makes no sense to anyone sane . . .🤪
Only the good die young . . .😢
Maybe - I wonder though if his point is more to realign the U.S. with Russia, Turkey, Hungary, N Korea etc. instead of with democracies - not really “alone”, just with other countries that are as corrupt as he is⁉️
Excellent point . . . ✅ The racism & bigotry runs pretty deep in a lot of American places . . . Fox News is what people listen to, talk about, & it’s on 24/7 in bars & diners & businesses . . . Hell, I’ve heard it’s even on 24/7 at virtually all military bases . . . who the hell allows THAT⁉️🤦♀️
He wanted to emulate the Commanders in The Handmaids Tale . . . he’d fit right in there, wouldn’t he, in more ways than one . . .🤪
And the reason Canada’s is a bit elevated is because of illegal firearms slipping through the American border . . . the longest international border in the world at over 5,000 miles . . . 😞
Just a guess: the gun lobby (NRA etc) have spent a fortune using right wing propaganda to convince people that if they give even one inch in common sense gun regulation, it’ll be a slippery slope to losing ALL their guns . . . Which isn’t true at all . . . 🤦♀️
People💙Bruce Springsteen says it all, sad but true!! The occupants in the Whitehouse, are soulless and hateful !! No love, no compassion, no empathy, no joy, just sucking the living life out of the world grifting off others! Their hearts are cold as ice😢and selfish #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue
Right . . . “I hire only the best people!” says Trump who hired wizards in their fields like RFK Jr, Patel, Hegseth, Gabbard, Noem etc etc etc . . .🤦♀️
More bullshit to flood the zone with . . . Always deny, deflect & then blame someone else - that’s the Trump MO . . . 🤦♀️
We can blame a lot of it on Fox News too . . . they’re ‘state media’ for right wing lies & gaslighting . . . millions of Americans rarely see facts or truth . . . Fox News has created a fantasy world for MAGA to live in, where Trump doesn’t lie, immigrants are evil, & Dems are terrorists . . . 🤦♀️
Good one! 👏👏
He showed up to golf this morning apparently - just saw a photo . . . 😢
Keep it up my fellow Canadians . . . and great job also on avoiding the U.S. for vacations - Canadian travel is down 25% - huge impact! 🇨🇦💪
Done! 💪 ☺️
Welcome! Your bravery gives us all strength! 💪 @drdebhoury.bsky.social 🤗
Morning Bob & friends!💞🧚💞 #Caturday
They are a living, breathing example of a true Kakistocracy . . . 😢
It’s the Dunning-Kruger effect . . . SO dumb that they don’t know how dumb they are . . . 🤪 Or to put it another way: Idiocracy This is one of the results of living under a Kakistocracy . . .
I hear ya . . . I feel despondent & dejected too most days . . . but I refuse to give up hope yet, because that’s what these pricks want . . . There is still hope that this Trump ‘organized crime syndicate’ won’t succeed . . . HOPE is stronger than fear . . . 💪
Well, they kind of ARE the Dictators now aren’t they? They have the final say on virtually everything. But if they allow a true Autocracy to take hold, then their own power is vastly diminished - that’s what I don’t understand! Orban & Erdogan ignore their Supreme Courts . . . 🤷♀️
Right! 🤣 There’s no question that MAGA will die with Trump, or at least be vastly diminished . . .
Why isn’t Congress impeaching & removing RFK Jr⁉️ No need to wait for Trump . . . there must be enough Republicans who see how dangerous this nut job is . . . Cassidy needs to line up his fellow GOP Senators & then warn Trump: either you remove him, or we will - your choice! 🤬
Wow! Love this! 💪
The list of corrective legislation that must be passed once Dems are back in power is getting sooooo long . . . I wouldn’t know how to even begin prioritizing . . . Suffice it to say that every loophole Trump has waltzed through to upend Democracy must be closed! 💪😔
Hmmm - so SCOTUS wants to endow Republicans with permanent power while they still have MAGA support? But doesn’t that mean that Vance could just ignore whatever SCOTUS says from then on - cuz he’d be the Dictator? Seems like SCOTUS is relinquishing being an “equal branch” in the power structure!
Exactly!! Thx! 🙏 I’m still figuring out how to paste links to stuff on social media - I’m not very technically savvy . . .🤪
True!! I still don’t understand why SCOTUS would want a Dictator like Trump - doesn’t that make them obsolete? It’s like relinquishing their own power, isn’t it?
Donald is bitter in life becuz he’s been rejected - not invited to the “cool kids” tables he really wanted . . . NY high society & world leaders are examples! Remember the SNL Skit from the NATO summit . . . too funny . . . It’s also why he took over the Kennedy Center - he’s such a LOSER! 🤦♀️
lol!😂 Good one! True for some . . . Unfortunately though many kids raised in a home filled with hate, misogyny & bigotry tend to become chips off the old block . . . Humans aren’t born hating . . . that behavior is taught . . . 😢
‘America First’ is driving this country toward America alone in the world . . . 😔
Unless SCOTUS finds a way to contort the law into reversing every other court on this . . .🤦♀️ Don’t you wonder why the MAGA 6 seem determined to allowTrump to do whatever the hell he wants⁉️ It’s almost like they want to see themselves become obsolete or something . . .🤷♀️
What gives me comfort is that there are 50 separate elections in this country . . . it’s like built-in protection from election rigging to a degree . . . Imagine if elections were run federally in this country⁉️ We wouldn’t stand a chance . . . I choose to believe we stand a chance in 2026 . . .
He disappeared from view a few weeks back for a few days too - after, I could swear his complexion had been smoothed out - figured it was a chemical peel of some kind . . . Maybe this time it’s further IV treatments and staying off his feet to reduce the size of the cankles . . . 🤷♀️
Most ‘get’ that now . . . except the most devout MAGA’s maybe . . . The question now is if SCOTUS can contort the constitution & laws enough to justify reversing this - that since Trump is above the law now anyway, they might as well just let him do whatever he wants to shut him up . . . 🤦♀️
I heard that the Todd Blanche/Maxwell bullshit interview gave MAGA the justification they needed to stop feeling betrayed by Trump . . . maybe that shut QAnon up too⁉️
Trump is like an ‘instant gratification’ toddler . . . he’s a very short term thinker . . . he wants it immediately, giving no thought to the implications or the long term impacts of what he does . . . this is what makes him such a destructive & dangerous man to the country & the planet! 🤬
Unions are like a vaccine to ward off Authoritarianism & Oligarchs as well . . . Democrats need to be BFF’s with Unions . . . 💪
America is the only country on the planet dumb enough to elect a criminal conman TWICE . . . So is it any wonder they’re too dumb to save their children from gun violence either . . .🤦♀️
That’s much more polite . . . well done! 👍
He’s clearly loony tunes . . .😜
Placating bullies NEVER works - it just emboldens them to bully more! This country hasn’t figured that out yet, have they . . .🤦♀️
I wasn’t aware she was his daughter - interesting! She sure stays in the background doesn’t she - working all the poison into the country from behind . . . 🤬
Yep! And if he couldn’t fire him, he’d send the MAGA hordes after him . . . 🤦♀️ This cult is total poison - just like their orange leader . . .
Very good observation - there is a huge ‘personal’ component to why the congressional Republicans won’t stand up to him: 1) personal profit 2) fear of being primaried 3) fear of MAGA going after them & their families 👍
This is what I want to know! The Roberts court is accused of being power hungry - but now they’re poised to GIVE UP all their power to a lunatic Dictator named Donald Trump⁉️ Is it their final coup de grace to destroy a 250 yr Democracy⁉️ Not buying it! @judgeluttig.bsky.social what say you?
OMFG!🤬
If the headline is “First Whore”, maybe that would make it okay⁉️🤪
🤮 I sure hope not! That poor kid - imagine being raised in that despicable family - he doesn’t stand a chance . . .
Yayyyy Marc . . . our Superhero . . . 🦸♂️
SO many mistakes were made that got us to this awful place . . . there’s plenty of blame to go around, that’s for sure! Unless the Republicans in the House & Senate grow a spine . . . which isn’t likely . . . only the Courts & We The People can stop this tyrant now . . . 🤞
A lot of people are saying that as long as our President is turning the water spigots, he can be a Dictator if he wants to . . . he’s the President, so he can do whatever he wants to do . . .🤦♀️
I’ve heard Trump called a “Narcissistic Sociopath” . . . so he’s even worse than the description you posted . . . 🤦♀️ Thx! 🙏
WOW! This is what we need!! 👏💪
Yep, that! And because he’s attempting to suppress the vote of people of color by making them afraid to come to the polls . . . he’s planning to keep military in the streets right through the midterm elections . . . watch them declare they are ‘no longer needed’ right after Election Day . . .🤦♀️
Ain’t it great when the President of your country believes they are above the law⁉️🤦♀️ Trump is feeling invincible & untouchable right now . . . plus he’s an old fuck . . . so he’s only going to get bolder from here . . . 😳
It’s always projection! That is not an ‘Administration’ - it’s an Organized Crime Syndicate! Doesn’t get much more extremist . . . Stakes in companies is the latest part of the protection racket - if people don’t “play ball”, or disagree with the “BOSS”, they’ll be metaphorically whacked . . . 😳
Thx! I know SCOTUS takes a tiny % of cases, but they pick the ones that will move the country in whatever direction the most radical ones want . . . Alito & Thomas scare the crap out of me . . . feels like those 2 want to reverse the 20th century . . . so that only the wealthy get a say . . . 😡
Well said! Donald Trump never accepts or acknowledges that he lost anything - he’ll lie & bully & sue & appeal - and if none of that works, then he’ll send in his cult mob . . . just like Jan 6th! 🤦♀️ The man feels invincible & untouchable now, so it’s only going to get worse from here . . . 😤
Thank you!🙏 Luckily I can go back home to Canada if things go badly at the midterms - but my American friends & neighbors don’t have an option - I’ll stay & fight as long as I can . . . Aussie land is the only place I’d really have liked to visit but never got there - maybe I’ll win a lottery 🤣
Donald Trump (& Rupert Murdock) are classic examples that inspired the adage . . .
This is not an “Administration” - it’s an Organized Crime Syndicate - I totally agree! If people don’t “play ball” by paying their protection money or agreeing 100% with the Mob Boss, then they are metaphorically whacked! 👿
Those conservative 6 sure seem to be on the side of the unitary executive theory - I guess we’ll find out soon if they are interested in saving the democracy or not, huh? 😔
I hear ya - it’s not a laughing matter . . . 😢
Trump is doing everything he can to rig the election, yes, but the U.S. does have a sort of ‘fail safe’: The States run elections, not the feds, so the U.S. has 50 individual systems that aren’t connected. Trump does NOT control them! Yes, there are more of us than them, so we can hope! 🥺
We’re ALL appalled & most are very open to the world view . . . We hope that the courts will stop at least *some* of his shenanigans - a lot of issues haven’t made it to the Supreme Court yet! Ultimately it’s up to We The People to stop him - by winning the House (& maybe Senate) in 2026! 🤷♀️
And very relevant today . . . 🙏
How long do you think they’ll keep hanging on to their fantasy - till he’s dead & buried⁉️ 🤦♀️
Exactly . . .🙄
Awesome description - I can totally picture that toddler doing EXACTLY that . . . 👏
Yep - looks matter - the better looking candidates usually get the job as long as qualifications are similar . . . Trump understands ‘central casting’! Which is how we’ve got a ‘camera ready’ cabinet that is collectively the LEAST qualified cabinet in American history! 🤦♀️
Naw - as long as they can keep their AR15, open carry their Glock, loudly denigrate people of color, make fun of gays & own the libs, MAGA is all good - they couldn’t give a damn what “them stupid foreigners” do . . . 🤦♀️
🤣 Don’t laugh, you could be right - the country might be the next thing he re-names . . . 🤦♀️
