So this is what I imagine is happening in DC right now, minus the happy, cute bits of course.

Are you with me!
Yeah we know that. But what do we do now that the people we elected to represent us have collectively decided that millions of us should be broke, indentured, detained or dead?
But thank god you and Bernie had big crowds right? All that talking and tell me again what it did for us?
...
Don’t think voters will matter too much anymore. We aren’t likely to have legitimate elections again any time soon
We’re so fucked. We just made sure the budding dictator now has dictator powers.
Shocking. Is water also wet? The most boldly corrupt politician in history and the people we elect to do something, refuse to. Hold all of them accountable.
What are you telling us for? Do something about it.
just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful
"We have an FBI director who received $25,000 for appearing in a film, executive producing a film, made by a Ukrainian-American-Russian who worked on a propaganda project that was financed, in part, by Vladimir Putin's office." "Why this isn't a bigger story, I don't know."
This is the game. Unite and then manipulate the data for whatever mischief you want to do www.wired.com/story/doge-i...
Why would he? They died in service to their country so probably just thinks they’re suckers and losers.
Again, so what? What actual consequences will there be and who will enforce them?
So..how fast can we get there? Anywhere is better than here right now.
What good would that do if there’s no one or no mechanism to enforce any of it?
This isn’t a test, it’s blooming authoritarianism. And you need to stop downplaying the importance of it. The time for media objectivity in regards to what the Trump administration is doing has passed. You say that democracy dies in the dark- but it’s up to you to turn on the light.

Guess it was never about them just “doing it the right way.”
Can’t have that slave labor getting out, can we?
Never fails
Trump fell victim to one of the classic blunders….
Can someone smarter than me figure out who made all the money in this Trump’s ridiculous pump and dump scheme? I mean we all knew he was gonna fold like a lawn chair but who made all the money in the last week or so?
Or if republicans would just say no to anything. For the life of me I can’t understand why they think any of this is good for anyone.
Fucking coward.
Dude needs to be careful or he’s gonna get thrown out of a window.
Someone explain to me why El Salvador is complicit in this? Why are they just willing to throw people in a jail? How much are we paying them to imprison our own citizens?

I thought we outlawed science in this country.
Yup. This is what’s it’s always been about.
This is what happens when you let chat gpt make your economic policy.
Like we have three years left…
Tell me this isn’t on purpose to tank the markets so the ultra rich can buy everything for penny’s on the dollar. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Heartbreaking. 😞
It’s like when Brian was like “ I almost had you man…” and Dom was like “it doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning.” And then ja rule went….nowhere. It was pretty much over by then for him. Fine. The dems made improvements but feels like too little too late. Again.
Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
Can someone explain why they keep saying communism is bad but then turn around and kiss Russia and China’s respective asses? Pick a lane.
Yeah man. That’s the bit. They accuse everyone else of doing of the shady things they already do. Then they go do those shady things even harder.
Your tax dollars at work.
Maybe. But he’s a top 5 all-time great passer. The league hasn’t seen anything like him since.
That doesn’t look anything like Elon Musk. This is why Hollywood is failing.
Really? You think anyone in Congress knows enough about crypto to write responsible legislation? Y’all barely understand Wifi.
So why did they let him in? Like, it seems like a simple solution. What am I missing?
As a former Detroit resident, former room mate of a Canadian citizen, Half Moon Run fan and person who can sing all the words to “the Last Saskatchewan Pirate, I support this very much.
That’s what we thought last October too and here we are. There’s a difference between movement and action. We need pro-dem action. Not just movement.
Wait. Have the bread lines already started?
Last October, I watched the big rallys, heard the speeches and took part in all the zoom calls. We still lost. I have no interest in dems talking or rallying or fundraising about what could happen. Let me know when they actually do something.
They’re not even hiding it, you’re not doing anything about it. Who’s worse?
The argument a shutdown would've benefitted Trump is belied by how Republicans voted in lockstep to avert one. If Trump, Musk, Johnson, or Thune wanted a shutdown, they would've had it. They did everything they could to avoid it. And 10 of your Dem colleagues helped them. For nothing. Complicit.
Flashback:
Again. This is the whole point. Tank the economy so the ultra rich can buy everything cheap. They’ll be even more rich on the other side of the depression.
Bald faced market manipulation. Again- how’s that Trump and Melania meme coin going? How is it he’s managed to be this open about his stupid scams and no one seems to care?
First - how are y’all still around? Figured you guys would be first on the Doge hit list… Anyway- who cares? He’s gonna be confirmed regardless of what anyone does. Nothing matters anymore except for what Trump wants. And the GOP is willing to bend over to give it to him.
So with cvs faltering and Walgreens being bought by the grim reaper….what else do we have? Is Rite-aid still a thing?
Hi, I'm God. I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone. Fuck you, Donold.
Stickers. Cool. That will get trans rights, Medicare, and all those fired federal workers their jobs back.
Yeah man that’s the whole point. They are crashing everything to buy it in the dip. The richest people make all their money in a depression. They’ll be richer on the other side.
I do blame them. But the dems did almost nothing to stop the flood they knew was coming for months. I’m angry at all of them.
Dark times ahead I’m afraid.
Less than 50% of Americans voted for Trump. The win was shocking. And now we’re pretending it’s not trump’s country. It is.
That’s ok, we were once the leaders of the free world, in 2024, Fast forward 4 weeks and that image seems to be unraveling. Guess you can’t win em all.
So what are yall doing about it? So far I’ve seen sternly written tweets and tons of excuses. You’re one of the brighter spots in our darkness right now but this country is crumbling. Do something. That’s literally what you are there for. Inaction is complicity
So we can’t have Medicaid, trans rights or black history now. Got it.
Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh comrades? Eh?
“Irrational”and “imprudent?” Yes, now those petulant rightie reprobates will truly feel the sting of such sesquipedalian censure! The populist psyche is rarely wounded more than when suffering such a withering rebuke. Do you hear yourself judge? That’s you. That’s what you sound like to them.
Coolcoolcool. Also, how are those Trump and Melania coins looking? They are probably fine right? No rug pulls going on there?
But they still cost $1200 a dose, right?
Living in the Weimar Republic in 1933 must have been surreal—one day you’re buying eggs at a reasonable price, and the next, democracy is unraveling in real time while rich white guys bankroll the collapse. Anywhooo- what do we think about arm bands these days? I’m not sold on them yet.
So, is it cool if I move there? My country has lost its mind.
So- where do we go? If everything really goes to hell and the country collapses, where do we go? What country do we emigrate to?
Who Cuban? That’s why I asked. I was being genuine when I said that I thought he’s the one who might have some insights given his profile.
Future politicians: If we somehow make it through this, we need to have a real discussion about the power of the Executive Order. No President should have this much unilateral power.
This isn’t a serious post, right? You can’t truly think that weak words promoting vague values and policies are going to fix the damage that has been done already, right? The “big choice” was in November and we blew it. Enough with the pretty words. Do something to save the country.
Yes.
Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.
Is this sarcasm? Seriously. Is it?
Read the room. No one cares about any of those words while our country burns. Also, is the milk thing a reference I don’t get or does the author think milk is somehow a “cozy” drink?
Again- the words are pretty and I really support you, but people need actionable items. “Gathering justice” is nonsense. There’s a lot of angry people out here who don’t understand why this is happening and what to actually do about it.
That’s the thing though… They have no problem showing people who they are.
That might be one of the worst things I’ve ever heard a journalist say. While it’s obviously awful to have to cover this administration, not to do so would be exponentially worse. Trump is doing a lot of damage in the light, but he could destroy everything in the dark.
Here we go. This is just the beginning.
Sorry about Ukraine, but we have some pressing matters here. Enough with the condemnations and fist shaking and sternly written social posts. Do something. Do something to stop the dismantling of our country. It’s the whole reason you’re there. Inaction is complicity.
Speeches. Aren’t. Leadership. We need less poetry and more actionable items to do here. “Gathering my justice” doesn’t mean anything. What can we ACTUALLY do?
I can see how you’d think that, but you’re forgetting the constitution doesn’t really matter much anymore so…
Isn’t that the point though? To get it to the SC and get it approved by his purchased judges?
I stopped reading this at “I’m quickly being radicalized.” Never really understood how someone could really go off the deep end before. But I think I get it now….
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to ask you why these other ultra rich idiots are willing to burn down everything that has made them what they are since you’re the richest guy in the convo and might have some insight, but can’t find the right way to say it. So…wtf are they doing and why?
Rice is cheap you say? How are your eggs looking….?
If we could steal NASAs funding back from Elon, could we get the asteroid to hit us sooner? Like next month?
Careful about how you’re throwing around “we” here. “We” didn’t do this. They did. How bout “we” stop whining about how they have the majority and actually do something about the destruction of our country? They’ve stopped playing by the rules so why are you? Inaction is complicity.
So….hows the puppy bowl goin? Who’s winning that one?
Anyone else feel like we are cusp of events that will make us talk about before and after ___ happened?
