Trump wishes he were Big Brother. Doesn't know how to pay attention. Doesn't know how to conduct himself. Doesn't know how to dictate. He stands next to a seasoned authoritarian and looks small and insignificant. We're playing into the hands of the village idiot. Which makes us what exactly?
MSM is addicted to drama. They'll report whatever story raises their pulse.
So who was wearing his skin when he was ordered to comply by a judge he was standing in front of when he was told to file by 4pm?
Photo of Trump next to Putin: Trump looks dejected, muted, impotent. An authoritarian wannabe without a clue standing next to a seasoned pro who knows how to make use of the village idiot.
If you're fighting for the next unstable 20something mass shooter to have easy access to AR-15s, bc "personal freedom" means more to you than the bodies of dead American children, then maybe the problem is *your* mental illness.
If only institutions wouldn't fold like a rusty GD lawn chair over the slightest provocation.
Stop trusting people that have spent time, money & years in total dedication to their chosen career. Listen to people like me: no experience, no common sense, family who thinks I'm predatory. A man appointed by a television show personality with no clue how to run a nation. Sure, f*ck the "experts".
When you watch Trump dejectedly stand in the presence of a seasoned pro like Putin, it is both a relief that he is without a clue on what it takes to be a true authoritarian and terrifying that whoever replaces Trump won't be such an imbecile during the learning process.
We never did resolve the children separated from families during Trump's first term. We didn't really think he'd stop there, right?
Between Trump supporters, Republican legislative enablers and msm turning a blind eye to atrocities, I can only surmise we live in a country overrun with unbelievable assh*les.
The resolution they should be waiting for is a head, heart & gut telling them what they're doing is beyond immoral and has entered the realm of what we call monstrosity.
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
Completely clueless here. Does the judge have the right to put on the brakes and demand to be taken to where the children are currently being taken to/from?
Just...Lol. That's bald faced lie, er I mean, bold claim Kristi.
Mass shooting 3 days ago where children were massacred (again) and Trump was literally MIA.
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
Why is everybody acting independently? Strength in numbers. They may be governing separately but the desire to defeat fascism is the same. Blue mayors & governors should be establishing a hotline 24/7, organizing as a single body. Something congress is loath to do. Trump has a team. We need an army.
Imagine if Dems could take back the senate. (Long odds, I know.) Just the effect on the judiciary alone would be huge. Susan Collins has never been a moderate, and Trump has her vote anytime he really needs it. Maine has a better choice in @grahamformaine.bsky.social. Give him a follow.
MAGA: "Go woke, go br—oh, never mind. . ."
Thanks, everyone! Woman-run. Veteran-owned. No bullshit. Always free. Muellershewrote.com
Pissed about the treatment of cold, non-sentient stone. Can't wait to pull blooming organisms out by their roots. All we need to know.
Gotta wonder tho if Trump dies is he replaced by someone easier to deal with or more able to articulate fascist ideology? Enablers are spending all their time pacifying Trump. If they gain that time back to buckle down & apply Project 2025 without having to worry about ineptness we may be worse off.
Stephen Miller: the world's foremost assh*le is working hard to tear down democracy and destroy the credibility of the United States of America.
This happened after Trump's first term. He rooted out Jackie's garden, Biden officials had it reinstated. Until voters stop flip-flopping every 4 to 8 years we can't have nice things that will endure.
He'll charge the contractor and pocket the cash owed to the taxpayers. Also, he can sh*t-can the term "Rose Garden". I vote for "Putrid Patio" to replace.
I'm sure the troops are overjoyed by their demotion.
Bottom line: Trump badly wants to be a dictator & is begging Putin to mentor him. Meanwhile, Putin has a useful idiot. Their dysfunctional relationship will cast dispersion on everyone and anything that isn't them.
If he's not out golfing, sh*t's serious.
That's not the half of it. Bank account information, IRS statements...blackmailing on a massive scale 'bout to hit Dem/Lib/Prog legislators in mass proportions before the midterms/2028 elections. It's gonna make Wikileaks look like Operation Imbeciles. But then again, maybe not.
Meanwhile the rest of us are on a steady diet of "WTF even is this?"
More humanity shown in the last 5 seconds of this clip than in all of the Trump regime moments combined. Women acknowledges atrocity + Man agrees to keep victim's bike safe=People (strangers no less) know it takes a village. THIS is how to survive a fascist regime. #Resist #Fight #Win
Johnson: "Polls can be manipulated." Next breath: "We've seen a string of polls...that are popular."
Republican legislators would be flopping on the floor in fits faster than you can yell "Gator!"
Has anyone coined the term "dimshits" yet? Seems apt.
That'll be a good, long wait.
Prayer means sitting in honest communication with a Higher Power. I wonder how many "racked with pain" are actually involved in a one-sided convo. i.e. they pray for the ability to feel better when children are slaughtered over insane policies they support?
They'll do what they've been doing all along. Secretly hate it while publicly supporting it.
Don't bother. He'll only lie to you. Again. Demand his resignation.
It's not about preventing the death of children. Prayer is about finding peace in our hearts when we willfully allow them to be murdered. How's that for f*cked up?
It's not the armed forces, it's the lack of interest from the people. Trump will throw parade after parade after f*cking parade rather than face the truth about how much he is despised by so. many. people.
Well, it's not like we weren't warned by his own GD kin.
He barks out orders like it means something. At least he's got that form of denial to keep himself in check.
Gonna go with the unpopular opinion: I had no issue with blue book, liked to write a good essay & enjoyed sharing opinions via good ol' fashioned pen & paper.
6 months from now: How many will not re-up, drop out, or tell Trump & Comp to get bent?
Ronald Reagan was a boogeyman for a lot of people. He also had dementia that his loyalists and WIFE were well aware of but were so besotted with power they didn't care how it affected the people. Trump's finishing what the Reagan admins started.
He said he'd be a dictator on day one and people elected him anyway...prolly because they wanted a dictator. The only shock should be that citizens of America voted him in because most voters want an authoritarian government.
The whole point of an authoritarian regime is to take over. Period. There is no backing down or going away. Of course he wants to stay.
LOL Yes.
T.H.I.S. #resist #fight #win
This, this, a thousand times this.
And the World Cup. The United States is a fascist police state where no one is safe.
Yep. #Resist #Fight #Win
In fact, he's aided by Stephen Miller who's on a power trip, Republican legislators making it rich and Red SCOTUS members looking to stick it to the libs. The Perfect Storm.
100% agree.
Also: PTSD victims experiencing another trauma can freeze in response to being overwhelmed. M Night Shayamalan illustrated this perfectly in the opening segment of "Split" when Casey's paralysis kept her from defending herself. The central nervous system allows for nothing else in some cases.
Honestly other countries needs to keep reminding Trump that America's currently the armpit of the world and will never smell good as long as he's in charge.
Trump citing the constitution. Just...LOL & WTF rolled into one big ball of JFC.
So much for "never again"...humans that lack empathy don't think of things in terms of a "a time to" or " a time not to". They only think in terms of want and desire stemming from the need to hurt others. Sad, sick, cruel injustices happening again and again because hurt people hurt people 💔
I love how Zelenskyy and several other state leaders showed up to the White House a week ago and the Republican "party" seems to have already forgotten any meeting took place.
He's not waiting on the federal government for sh*t. My fiery wish is that blue states all band together, figure it out, get things running independent of Fed & when Red states feel the pinch (they will) see how well it's all running with communal help, they'll follow suit. Hey, a Fuzzy can dream...
Molesting your child is never a good way to be a parent.
The media's not fixating because Republicans aren't making it an issue. When the Republicans b*tch & moan, drama is involved, then media has something to write about. Drama is addictive & it sells. MSM stopped reporting on anything with a regular heartbeat eons ago.
Remind me: what's the incentive Hamas has in releasing any hostages that could, in the most minute circumstance, still be alive?
Kinda shows who the real coward is. Trump's doing his best to outrun everything he's responsible for. Hiding is his crowning achievement.
#Resist #Fight #Win
Remember how hard Trump worked on this bullsh*t?
Potato, Patato: tone down criticism of Israel or ramp up blistering criticism of an evil regime committing genocide in order to take over land it doesn't have a right to but will torture, starve and kill millions to steal anyway...
Trump's "birthday" parade produced the same effect. It really is psyche 101: Invited to a picnic by the Dalai Lama vs. the scary neighbor named Jerry who you never see, who's lawn is never mowed & you're certain you never want to go to a shindig with. Hmmm...what experience do most people want?
It's the angel/devil on the shoulder thing in a way...the Nancy Pelosi patronizing clap to let Trump think people really dig his style (the devil's side) or screaming "F*ck that sadist!" until dragged to the dungeon in the Red Keep (the righteous angelic).
www.reddit.com/r/goodnews/s... This guy gets it. We don't support insurrectionist traitors. We probably shouldn't take orders from pedophile rapists that hoard classified documents... Power grab. They want a theocracy! We must stop them

Unfortunately fascism wins if we all run away. Escape is definitely in the cards for some, but dictators fall because people are willing to stand up and hold firm. Scary, I know, but it's how democracy prevails.
He should be surrounded by a few dozen lawyers, journalists and loved ones to hold the line and let him get safely to and from his destination. They need to outnumber ICE officials six to one.
Where to find a reputable source/guide/what have you/of independent Dems new to the game but looking to shake it up by running in 2026?
Re blue state coordination, apparently something is cooking wrt public health service coordination (the states in question are the new england states minus new hampshire plus new york, new jersey, and Pennsylvania) mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/08242025_f01...
Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s memoir to be published posthumously
'Bout f*cking time Blue states ban together. The federal government is effed for the time being. States need to figure it out between each other. Soon enough Red states will feel the pinch and want in on whatever the Blues are doing to thrive. Only a matter of time.
Pregnant women & delivery drivers beware. Not mocking. They're not looking for criminals. They're looking for ordinary people to instill the fear of their warped version of God into.
Interesting to note Republican legislators are 100% behind corporate America taking Mom & Pop stores to the woodshed. Corporations carry the cash needed to stuff GOP pockets. The ONLY time MAGA shows loyalty to Mom & Pop is when they find a "woke" cause to hitch their indignant little wagons to.
100%. Bullies need victims, otherwise they serve no purpose.
Thank you. I kept posting #BlueCrush2026 because I assumed it was a hashtag in use. Turns out I'm the only one using it. Where is everybody???
Perhaps it's because Republicans plan to run their golden pony all the way to his grave without really giving a flying f*ck what's wrong with him or invested in how to fix it. Ergo, the media has nothing to report because no MAGA cares enough to share. Flipside: Repubs wouldn't shut up about Joe.
I'm pretty good at witty repartee, but good God, seeing this video leaves me with nothing but a tinge of sadness.
His corpse will. The Republican party is so far gone they'll Weekend at Bernie's the sh*t out of it.
Every journalistic bone in Jake Tapper's body is telling him there's nothing to see here.
Have Pam Bondi redact it. Problem solved.
Love Jeff ❤️ #substack #resist
The Kennedy Center is dead. From now on it's just a matter of gawking at the corpse.
This scene tho 🤣
Meanwhile, the crusty old dude's just sitting next to a barrel. Until he isn't. Nothing's just a cigar with Republicans anymore. It's all just one, long state of emergency.
Maybe if he were slumped over the barrel we'd have something to talk about.
This. Much much more of this. Are you listening fellow governors? #resist #fight #win #Blue2026
The Penguin talks a good game. Remove the monocle and show us who you really are.
Whacky thought, I know: Reparation. Instead of: bigot said, sane people said, just admit America f*cked up in the worst way possible, continues to live in denial, avoids the topic of how white people crimed away with impunity & chuck up what is owed to living descendants. We did it. We're guilty.
JD Vance and tone deafness: Donald Trump is the crazy person yelling, arresting, incarcerating, deporting--all done illegally--every. GD. day.

The problem is MSM is framing her side if the story as a protest, as though she chooses to be there instead of elsewhere as a free human being. This should be a police matter involving lawyers, ACLU, a caravan of new crews & crowbars to get her out of a building she's locked into against her will.
And the country currently is horrible.
Life from the slaveowner's perspective coming soon from the Trump "Unwoke & Undead" museum of unnatural wtf is he thinking?
