Sen. Jellyfish Cassidy did the same in 2017, when DT/GOP in Congress tried to repeal the ACA (ie Obamacare): He promised from the bottom of his lil heart that he couldn't and wouldn't vote for legislation that ripped healthcare away from at least 25mill Americans. And of course, he voted for it🤬.
I was thinking of Dana Carvey's bit doing Katherine Hepburn starting her car😄. It's at the beginning of this clip: youtube.com/shorts/d5wkw...
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
DiBlasio gets a bad rap, and he is a weirdo, but things during his tenure were generally fine, incl. crime rates continuing to decline (except for a spike in 2020, as occurred nationwide during DT's disastrous handling of the pandemic), and he had the major accomplishment of passing Universal Pre-K.
And Weiner tried to stage a comeback in 2013 by running for Mayor (in the Primary)!
Reminds me of when DT said in 2016 that he "never settles" lawsuits, 5 seconds before he settled the NY lawsuit with those he defrauded with his phony Trmp University, for a whopping $25million. #MakeHonestyGreatAgain
Reminiscent of the comment from his first term, in a dazzling display of his comprehension of the Constitution he said, "I have 'an Article Two,' which means that I can do whatever I want."🙄🤬
#PartyOfStatesRightsMyAss
Thank you WA Governor Ferguson for standing loud and tall in the face of DT's appalling, continuing subversion of our Constitution and the rule of law.
😄😄
You're reminding me that in 2020, when Covid 1st hit and we had a shutdown, maga red-staters started madly protesting not because of DT's ignorance and incompetence leading to chaos and mass illness + death, but because *they couldn't get haircuts*! We're screwed😫😫.
The Voting Rights Act used to stop racist voter suppression-specifically in Texas But the Supreme Court gutted the VRA-consequently Trump and the Republicans are disenfranchising Black and Hispanic Americans So Gavin Newsom will push California to respond With democracy hanging in the balance
Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.
You mentioned 1st term Sec.Tom Price+his piggy charter flights leading to resignation...don't forget 2 more: Scott Pruitt+Ryan Zinke (now eating at the trough of Congress). Ben Carson was also caught redecorating his office with expensive furniture, but he blamed his wife+got away with staying put.
Hey, just like Madison Cawthorn's photo at one H*tler's (whom he called "The Fuhrer") favorite vacation spots. This new 🤡 is just another one of DT's very fine people🤬.
So let me get this straight, DC is a crime hellhole so he unleashes the Nat'l Guard but Russia hacks into the Federal Court System and he meh about it. What a treasonous shit weasel.
Ratfucking at it's most egregious.

...assuming there are any nursing homes patients left, since ~65% of NH residents are on Medicaid. God knows what will happen to them after the Big Bullshit Bill's Medicaid cuts go into effect in 2027. #ProLifePartyMyAss
The party of faMiLy vALuEs, wherein Republican standard-bearers trump, Giuliani, Gingrich, and Limbaugh have 13 wives between them🙄.
This is a good read, elaborating on the many ways the Big Bullshit Bill sabotages the ACA, thus ins. premiums/costs will substantially increase. So even more people - above and beyond those on ACA's expanded Medicaid - will lose health care coverage. #ProLifePartyMyAss🤬 www.cnn.com/2025/08/12/p...
*fringes
You summed it up perfectly. I saw it coming: GOP losing their shit when Bill Clinton ended their 12 yrs in the WH, + the rising militia mvmnt; the horror of the W.Admin; and the despicable treatment twd Obama becoming mainstream from the frimges. And still I'm shocked by the abhorrence of magaland.
Pirro also launched a campaign to run in the 2006 NY Senate election against incumbent Hillary Clinton. Her entry into the Repub Primary was disastrous, and the NY Repub party forced her to drop out.
I can't argue with that☹.
😄😄😄
Don't take it out on Mario!
RFK is a survival-of-the-fittest eugenicist. Vaccines to him merely help the weak survive.
Hey, just like Mike Pence did in Indiana!
It's also so they can keep pretending the big cities are dystopian nightmares, and foment more hatred among Americans. Also also, crime was down to record lows until 2020, when crime rates rose drastically during DT's catastrophic handling of Covid. He has to pretend it wasn't his responsibility.
It's not hyperbole, they actively want to kill us. Democide: a feature of every tyrannical leader. nysfocus.com/2025/08/06/t...
Good call!
10 years later, and I *still* can't understand the people who blow off him being a lifelong deadbeat, and worse, the people who somehow believe he's defending the needs of the "little guy."
🔁 If you believe science should guide health policy — not conspiracy or ideology — speak up. Tell your reps: restore funding for mRNA vaccine research. These vaccines saved millions and are vital for future pandemic defense and biosecurity. #ProtectScience #mRNA #Biosecurity (12/12)
Dr. Katalin Karikó who won a Nobel Prize for developing mRNA vaccines responds to RFK Jr: "When you are sick, you wouldn't ask for advice from a lawyer like Kennedy. You ask experts, your physician, for advice."
As Governor, Palin funded a program to force wolves to run to exhaustion, + then shoot them from planes and helicopters, supposedly in the name of population control. I also remember a campaign tv interview she did where we could see that behind her, a machine was slaughtering+grinding up turkeys.
During his 1st term he also stiffed many U.S. cities for costs incurred when he would hold campaign rallies there. American First!
Huckabee also stayed close to Josh Duggar and elevated him to leadership positions, even after it was revealed that Duggar sexually assaulted his sisters (and, it turns out, reportedly others as well). This was years before his prosecution for possessing and sharing CSAM.
Thank you! I came here to say the same.
Medicare & Medicaid turn 60 today. Instead of protecting the care that so many Americans rely on, Trump’s Big Ugly law rips health care away from 15 MILLION people. The same folks screaming “America First” stay busy putting Americans dead last.
No to the person tonight who just said "both sides." No, they gd don't.
Roy Cooper raised $3.4 million in the first 24 hours of his Senate campaign — a record-breaking sum for the former North Carolina governor in one of the most competitive upcoming Senate races. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...
This is desperate and pathetic. Trump is absolutely scrambling to change the subject from Epstein, while simultaneously being unable to stop talking about Epstein.
Since the firm (or possibly not firm, depending on who is speaking) August 1 deadline is a little over a week away, I just thought I would remind you of this: In May, $23B in tariffs were collected from American importers. This represents the largest tax hike on Americans in over 30 years.
Small comfort, that we know that Cohn suffered the end that he deserved...Including that Roy's protege donald notoriously never spoke to Cohn again after he was admitted to end-stage care for AIDS.
Trump is now posting private mortgage documents from Adam Schiff, and I URGE people who have less self-control than Pavlov's dogs to EMPHASIZE that it is likely a crime for him to have accessed these docs, if you do post them.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
I fully believe Bush v Gore is what solidified our descent to Earth 2. SCOTUS's decision was lawless + craven. FL Gov Brother Jeb! played a part too. He was an OG of baselessly throwing majority-Dem + majority-Black counties' voters off the rolls, + permitted SOS Harris to rig the system to favor W.
Damn. I fell for it too, because I believed her when she expressed her awareness of the fear donald is creating, and the awfulness of the Big Bullshit Bill, remembering that she voted in 2017 against overturning the ACA. I thought she was one of the last Repubs with a conscience. I was dead wrong.
Yup. I get furious any time I see #TortureMemoJohnYoo on any news show as a talking head. His opinion that any physical abuse is not torture as long as it doesn't result in organ damage or death is sick and sadistic. That he's regarded as just another law professor is repulsive.
9/11 was also the Gulf of Tonkin moment paving the way for the Cheney Neocon Cabal to invade Iraq (and blow up the Middle East), as they'd been salivating to do since 1991 - They were furious that GHWB didn't depose Saddam, but rather adhered to the limited mission of getting Iraq out of Kuwait.
*appalling
Even more apalling is his daughter - about whom he's publicly fantasized on national tv - laughing with him.
Me too.
Canada struck major DEALS at the G7 Hell Canada even scored the Greenland mining contracts
Or the Ringmaster of an evil traveling circus.
No problem😄😄
Well done!
*Reeve. George Reeves played Superman in the tv show. And not for nothing, I would LOVE a Christopher Reeve presidency. He was a genuinely kind, generous man, who after tragedy also showed his immense resilience and grace.
He knows his naughty language gives a little thrill to his maga groupies. They'll praise him for "telling like it is," instead of admitting that his cEaSeFiRe was all made up.
I remember that the only publication at the time getting it right was Knight-Ridder (later McClatchy). And the only one on tv reporting reality was Phil Donahue on MSNBC, then the only MSNBC show getting high ratings. So MSNBC...fired Phil for calling out the Admin's lies.
Someone besides me remembers Chalabi! Do you also remember "Curveball," one of their Iraqi "intel" sources who turned out to be a schizophrenic fantasist?
*Ah, good old Judith Miller *And Jeff Gannon, a hired plant in the WH pressroom to ask complimentary q's, who turned out to be a porn star *And Bob Novack who cooperated with outing Valerie Plame to punish her husband's debunking WMD "intel" *And Ari Fleischer who warned us, be careful what we say.
Plus we have no idea if the bombing actually accomplished anything, nor do we know whether there will be further aggression from DT, or retaliation strikes/terror attacks from Iran.
Don't worry - they'll be going after EMTALA next. I'm expecting that soon. #ProLifePartyMyAss
And the adults caring for their parents will have to leave jobs, so they'll be less able to afford anything and will be less of a tax base.
Monday through Thursday, join a phone bank to call Medicaid recipients and get them to flood their Senators with calls demanding they vote no. www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...
We can stop the #MAGAMurderBill but it's going to take an all out effort like our lives and our loved ones depend on it. Cause they do. How? You - yes you - and all of your friends, families and followers can do any and all of the following organized actions. 🧵
While Republicans are trying to destroy Medicaid and deprive 11 million Americans of healthcare By cutting $600 billion from the program so guys like Elon Musk can get more tax breaks They’re also giving SpaceX $22 billion Literally setting our money on fire www.nytimes.com/video/scienc...
And paying lawless, unaccountable Blackwater mercenaries 5 times the salary we paid to U.S. servicemembers.
Yeah, it is. Sighhh.
It's amazing - we tend to look at DT as sui generis, but most of the nonsensical, destructive actions he takes are consistent with W./normie Repub awfulness: ideological governing replacing facts + data, removing terminology + policy they hate, + destruction of effective gov't + institutions.
Right?! Also I was so demoralized that so many American believed such obvious bullshit. I thought, if I could just show people the facts, they'd understand the lies being told. Well, they sure showed me!
Sick. Rumsfeld also was set on proving he could fight a war on the cheap...hence our service members writing to their parents asking them to send bullet-proof vests. He also didn't fund the VA for returning wounded. The sociopath explained that he didn't anticipate we'd save so many lives in Iraq🤬.
And they raised the threat level every time W. said or did something that brought down his polling, put on steroids during the 2004 election. Tom Ridge later admitted that that's exactly what they were doing.
Imho, it was also that that neocon cabal never got over that GHWB withdrew from Iraq when they got them out of Kuwait, without also taking out Saddam. They spent they 90s trying to get Clinton to re-invade (which he refused), and licked their chops when 9/11 gave them their excuse. (See also PNAC)
Same. The one I got was "WHAT ABOUT 9/11?" The first time I heard that rebuttal was when I realized wirh a sinking heart that people actually believed all the lies being told, and that at the end of the day W./Cheney would invade Iraq no matter what.
My favorite was when Rumsfeld was asked how long we'd be in Iraq, and he said, "Six days, six weeks, six months...definitely not longer than six months." Also when they fired General Shinseki for telling the truth to Congress about amount of armed forces, + its cost, that we'd need to be successful.
At the time, MSNBC had a down-the-middle bent + their ratings were crap. Only 1 show-in 9pm PrimeTime-won its timeslot: Phil Donahue, the only one on tv calling out W. Admin+their (to me) obvious lies. So MSNBC...fired him! NB: It's also why Jon Stewart rose up: he was allowed to speak freely on CC.
Yeah, the War on Terror was an era full of unspeakable stupidity. And yet somehow this president makes that lying, criminal nepo baby doofus Dubya Bush look like John Frigging Adams
Sorry to be shallow, but what's with Josh Hawley's face? Is that supposed to be a smile??
"Pro-Life" TX Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said almost those exact words in 2020 during the Covid shutdown. He said older ppl should give up their own lives, to prevent an economic downturn during the pandemic. So I wish your use of that phrase were satirical! But the GOP has been going there for a while.
The Soviet State of trump strikes again. #ProLifePartyMyAss apnews.com/article/medi...
Seth gets it
The Obama and Biden administrations focused immigration enforcement on threats to national security and public safety, utilizing a system of legal review and judicial orders for deportations. It was about smart, lawful enforcement, not sweeping, indiscriminate removals that bypass the courts.
He also created a nonprofit in 2018 ostensibly to help ppl addicted to opioids. The problem is that the modest amount of $ raised didn't seem to get spent on very many identifiable services for ppl addicted to opioids. After a few years, he ran for Senate, + that was the end of the nonprofit.
Reminds me of when police did the same to @velshi.com during the 2020 protests. He was very clearly doing his job of reporting, from - I think - Minnesota, and they shot him in the leg with a "rubber" bullet.
Dear God🥺
She means (((They))), of course.
With maybe a house or 2 landing on all the witches present at the parade.
I remember how good and blessed this felt after Election Day 2020. Sighhhh😥
