Try co-conspirator. Associate is a ridiculous way to describe what Maxwell was convicted for.

I never thought we would see such cowardice from so many people in so short amount of time. Every institution that capitulates to Trump will make it harder for the next one to take a stand. I can only imagine what our founders' reactions might have been.

I really don't understand why they want to continue after age 70. It is time for new leadership and generational change. They are not up for the fight that has been coming from the right for decades.

It is going to be so gawdy with his name in gold all over it. He wants us to be forced to remember him throughout time.

If Trump stays in office for 4 years, he will try to defund every university while MAGA's burn every book. Education and expertise are like poison to them. You can't control an educated populace.

He is just trying to save his conspiracy-driven and radical right-wing bonfides for when he leaves office and goes back into podcasting. He could also just want some attention because he hates his job so much. Men are so emotional 🤣

I second that opinion. Drop new evidence from each person on a weekly basis.
Lisa Lipscomb (@catbertlisa.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it is appalling that people like you want to step in front of parents, kids, and their doctor's medical decisions. MAGAs claim they want the government to stay out of their business unless the government is stepping on the beliefs and decisions that THEY don't agree with or offended by.

It is an extreme betrayal. Why would anyone in another country ever put their lives on the line to help the US? We have not honored our commitments and promises too many times. This is beyond shameful. We are sending him back to his death!

More men need to speak about this. I am beyond tired of hearing MAGA be allowed to define what a "real" man is without any pushback. I would seek out your definition of a man every day over what MAGA is offering. In fact, I did and wouldn't have it any other way.

I had a similar discussion with my husband about travel plans, and our trips to other countries have been put on pause for a while because of how Americans are now perceived.

Think about the fact that Trump can say and do anything crazy that he wants, and it is forgotten within one day or completely ignored by the media. No one wants to discuss the elephant in the room.

🧵 A tiny baby. Not breathing. The desperate mom pulls into a shuttered ER. Nurses—off duty, protesting the closure—rush to save her child. THIS is the future the GOP is pushing: Medicaid gutted so millionaires have tax cuts. Closed hospitals. Dead children. And they do. not. care.
Lisa Lipscomb (@catbertlisa.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that was his intent because nothing matters anymore with this President and the GOP. There are no lines that won't be crossed. They glorify this man and treat him as the second coming. It is so disturbing on so many levels.

And if they do capitulate, the attacks will still continue because Trump will smell weakness. Case in point, Trump now believes that all of the law firms that bent the knee are his personal attorneys who must take cases he decides they will work on pro bono. The law firms did nothing wrong.

MAGA believes, maybe rightly so, that Patel & Bongino are at the FBI to do their bidding and go after their enemies. The problem is that you can't trust the heads of the FBI. We truly do not know where their loyalty lies. Is it to the US or the unhinged right-wing lunatics? I guess time will tell.

He has no master plan. The stock and bond markets were collapsing because of him. He choked and then had the nerve to claim victory. This volatility is not over by a long shot.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
