Anxiety is worrying about the future, depression is worrying about the past. My grandfathers fought fascism in their time, and we must fight it in our time because democracy is worth fighting for. #DoNotObeyInAdvance

Tapper would talk about how Trump hasn't been seen in public for days and why that's bad for not only Biden but the Democratic party as a whole. Journalists have not allowed our democracy to die in darkness, but right out in front of us with the light of a thousand suns.
Followed you for that brilliant comment!
America, built on stolen land by stolen people.
Yea, the leaders of the Confederacy weren't tried for treason and hung as traitors to the United States of America. Many served in Congress from the states that made up the Confederacy, enacted Jim Crow laws to keep now free black citizens in check so they couldn't fully participate in society.
Is it really shitposting when a collective majority of people not only in the US but around the world will joyfully celebrate that day? I'd call it relief posting, if only for a short period of time, bc what has happened to our institutions, in the last 8 months, will take decades to rebuild.
He wants every states voter rolls to see who voted for whom & eventually take his revenge & retribution 2nd administration tour to punish people for who they voted for. From governors all the way down to the working poor, formerly known as the middle class, and just get rid of all opposition to him.
What about the Mariupol theater with the words "children" written in huge letters that Russia destroyed. Human lives have meant nothing to the Russian government. They use their own soldiers as cannon fodder and deliberately attack Ukrainian civilians. We've seen the videos. From Mariupol to Bucha.
Right. Do none of them have the aspirations of becoming POTUS one day? They just bow down to their God King and kiss the ring. Another scenario is that Trump has acquired kompromat on Republican members of Congress, so they just go along with whatever he says, like, "Let's annex Greenland." 🤦
The Original Sin of the US, along with the sin of displacing millions of Native Americans from THEIR land that they lived on for generations & forced marched them west, & said "you can have this land." Why didn't the Founders just abolish slavery from the start? Built on stolen land by stolen ppl.
George W. Bush was a male cheerleader, Reagan was as well.
These "small government conservatives" as they like to call themselves, do not get the abject hypocrisy they're using when they want the federal government out of people's lives except when it benefits them like calling the FBI to arrest Texas Democrat legislators. The GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds.
There are many things I hate about the MAGA cult in Congress, their blind allegiance to a convicted felon, they claim "Christian" values when they're the exact opposite, but it's their abject hypocrisy that bothers me the most. Mace voted against the infrastructure bill yet takes credit for it.
It's not Biden's war or Trump's war. It's Putin's war of Russian aggression against the sovereign nation of Ukraine. Putin and his ridiculous idea of reconstituting the Russian empire from the 1870s is his rationale. The Ukrainian armed forces have shown the world how fragile the RU military is.
The important question is, "Will he wear a tie?"
And we all could've been accidentally added to the text chain.
Anyone who didn't see this coming is not paying attention. Trump gives Alaskan mineral resources or the entire state of Alaska to Putin in exchange for all the blackmail Putin has on Trump.
Yea, it's called abject hypocrisy
If you leave a little uncooked ramen and then sprinkle it on top, it gives it a nice little crunchy surprise. Credit to Jake Peralta on Brooklyn 99
"Future administrations?" This mfer isn't going anywhere. Congressional Republicans will craft an amendment that allows Trump to run for a 3rd term or an amendment that makes Trump king for life.
If you spent $1 every second, it would take 11 DAYS to reach $1 million, & it would take 33 YEARS to reach $1 billion. The billionaire class has been pulling a reverse Robin Hood since Reagans "trickle down economics." 40 plus years of GOP policies has led to a class of ppl known as the working poor
I don't know, I buy my wine by the boxful.
I mean, they still have their abject hypocrisy.
Ryan Walter's isn't gay. His boyfriend is.
America, built on stolen land by stolen people. We need to teach ALL of US history, the good, the bad, and the morally reprehensible, ie. slavery which ripped families apart, the stealing of land belonging to Native peoples, and forcibly removing them from the only land their people had ever known.
Totally agree. I don't care if a person who did the things Epstein did have a D or an R in front of their name. These women who were children at the time deserve justice. We have a justice system for poor people, a justice system for the wealthy, & a justice system for the political class. Hypocrisy
Also, this administration fired thousands of National Parks employees. The National Parks budget is $3.6 billion, & the National Parks generate $55.6 billion in revenue. So, the National Parks make the federal government $52 billion per year and provide a great service for all Americans to see them.
So we can all assume like the day before she's set to testify, the video monitors in the prison will go haywire and she'll "suicide" herself, or she'll stand too close to a window right?
The "im a fiscal conservative" crowd from 2015 are now all for the government to police our bedrooms, women's bodies, & adding to the debt by gutting programs that helped millions upon millions of their fellow citizens & giving tax cuts to those who don't even pay their fair share in the 1st place.
And I'd bet every single one of those teachers would use that extra money to buy school supplies for all the kids in their classes without hesitation.
Brilliant!
I was going to fucking follow you for that, b*t I alr*ady d*.
Because we atheists tend to have more empathy than these hypocritical, fake Christians. If people want to believe in a higher power, I'm fine with that, but don't shove it down my throat.
I remember when Fox "News" and Hannity went on and on about the ACA and how it will create "death panels." Now, it seems these Republican hypocrites are just fine with actual death panels.
Golf is not a sport. It's a good walk ruined.
He does realize he can't actually run for POTUS being foreign born and all right?
And he spends all that time playing golf, and he is still terrible at the game. He has to cheat to win his club championship every year for 30 years in a row. He'll hit 5 shots from the same position and choose the best ball in order to make his round look acceptable. 🤦
I busted out my leafblower at 3 am. just to get back at them. We live on a street with 30 houses, and every one of them except a few, shot fireworks ALL NIGHT! We finally found our two missing cats this am, and they always come to us when we call them, but they didn't last night.
His MAGA cult base hangs on every word he says, like it's a message from God. 35,000 provable lies he's told, & the MAGA cult blames the "liberal media" for using his own words against him. Also, they're racist & misogynistic af. That's why we're here. Bc 30% of the electorate want to see ppl suffer
Mitch McConnell will be looked back on in history books as the one person who fucked our Republic. From not convicting Trump in his 2ND impeachment trial to his abject hypocrisy by not allowing Obama a SCOTUS pick 1 yr from an election, but rammed through ACB in 30 days before an election. Hypocrite
The person who ruined American democracy begins and ends with Mitch McConnell. From his abject hypocrisy in letting the next POTUS pick a SCOTUS justice in Obamas case, a yr out from an election to ramming through ACB 30 days before an election. Also not convicting Trump in his 2nd impeachment trial
There's plenty of people that can bend over all day every day. They're called Republican Congresspeople. They bend over and either kiss Trumps ring or his ass. Ask Kevin McCarthy how that worked out for him. Speaking of which, what happened to Matty Fivehead Gaetz, he's been quiet lately.
If we are to delude ourselves into thinking Trump will ever leave the White House again, we're in more trouble than I thought. He incited an insurrection to attempt to stay in power in 2021. He has no intentions of giving up the presidency in 2028.
We can still vote for now. Trump will cancel elections in 2026 bc he knows his party will get destroyed. There will be a false flag operation like the Reichstag fire, Trump will declare martial law & start sending us to camps. Enjoy every min of your life until that time comes, then hope it will end
When the ACA was passed, Hannity & all the Fox "News" people screamed every day about how the ACA will have death panels deciding who lives or not. Now they're for death panels. Medicaid saved my life. If I did not have Medicaid when I was in a medically induced coma for 3 weeks, I'd be dead
Nancy Mace can't let Kristi Noem out cosplay her.
The CEO's explanation: "You have a job because of me, you can pay rent, food, & healthcare bc I gave you a job." Employee: "I make $7.25/hr, I'm paid so little for my work that I qualify for SNAP, HUD, & Medicaid. If you paid us a living wage, you could stop leeching off the govt w corporate welfare
I think to consider it to be a "rocket launch," the rocket can't blow up on the launchpad.
For as much as this mfer golfs, you'd think he'd be better. I golf about twice a month, and my scores are consistently in the mid to high 70s for 18 holes. He plays the same courses over and over again, and people have to let him "win" his club championship for 25 years running.
This Heritage Foundation amalgamation of a Supreme Court all said that Roe v wade was settled law, then they proceeded to kick it back to the states where women are dying bc they can't get the treatment they need. The next step is overturning Obergefell v. Hodges. Unfortunately, it's going to happen
They say "radical socialist" like it's a bad thing. Look at the Scandinavian nations, all of which have adopted democratic socialism. Their citizens are happier. They don't go bankrupt if they have to spend time in a hospital. People are done with capitalism that only works for the wealthiest 1%.
Why can't all of these hypocrite Evangelical Christian white supremacists just get raptured already and leave us sane people to rebuild from the damage they've inflicted?
And bring back the top marginal tax rate to Eisenhower era rates, same with corporate tax rates.
Of all the things that the MAGA cult fails to realize, and there are plenty of them, is the fact that Democrats own guns too, we just don't feel so insecure with our manhood that we feel the need to carry every gun we own while grocery shopping or getting a sandwich at Subway.
All of these tacky decorations tell me one thing, Trump has zero intentions of leaving the White House. Republicans in Congress will introduce a bill to repeal the 22nd amendment, and Trump will be a forever dictator. They'll embalm him when he dies like Russia did with Lenin.
And spray tans. He really doesn't understand spray tans.
Giving Trump the Nobel Peace Prize is the equivalent of giving "The Husband of the Year" award to an unemployed guy laying on the couch drinking Natty Light tall boys while watching Fox 'News' because he beats his wife and children.
Trump had to do something just crazy enough because his little toddler birthday party with tanks was a complete failure. All this time, we were worried that Putin would use nukes. Now I think Trump wants to use them just to say, "yea I'm the first POTUS to use nuclear weapons since Truman.
Of course, he can't plan a bowel movement. That's why he wears Depends, so when his Adderall kicks in, he can just crap himself.
I think this regime canceling the midterm elections is a forgone conclusion. Trump has zero intention of ever leaving the White House this time.
Well, as he always says if Democrats didn't steal the 2020 election, or if his insurrection worked, he would've been Potus and Russia wouldn't have attacked Ukraine, and Israel wouldn't have bombed Gaza into ruins. But I'm sure he'll have a solution to all of these issues in about 2 weeks.
He has a Konami code for his actual life.
Hey, it takes a lot of work to suck that hard at golf.
What ever happened to his promise of no taxes on tips and no taxes on overtime? I guess we'll have to wait 2 weeks just like everything else.
Lankford still doesn't realize that the Republican party that he grew up with ceased to exist the day the Senate did not vote to convict Trump in his SECOND impeachment trial for his insurrection. Today's Republican party is just a cult of personality & they chose the dumbest mfer to lead their cult
"Followers?" You mean cult members
We can also blame Mitch McConnell for not having the stones to convict Trump at his SECOND impeachment trial and for his abject hypocrisy in regards to SCOTUS picks.
Democrats have tried to compromise with Trump and his MAGA cult in Congress. What did Einstein say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? There is no compromise with the MAGA cult. It's their way or nothing else. Fuck that.
"Concepts" of great deals in 2 weeks. He always pushes it 2 weeks further because he always does something even crazier every 2 weeks, so the media focuses on the new crazy every 2 weeks.
He is absolutely OK with Democrat members of Congress being arrested and jailed indefinitely.
You forgot the biggest badge which is using the office of the presidency to gain an obscene amount of wealth by selling everything from shoes to "gold citizenship cards" at $5 million each.
So apparently, being a "socialist" is a crime now?
Every day, Democrats need to go on camera and hammer home the abject hypocrisy of these Republican "states rights absolutists." They are attempting to re-litigate the American Civil War. History repeats, and when dictators come to absolute power, citizens crush their power eventually and absolutely.
Nah, probably BlackJack or Clove. I mean the dudes 96.
Add Lil Jemmy Jordan in Ohio to that list. It's probably one of the most gerrymandered districts in the nation.
Brilliant!😂
It's almost like the only amendment in the Constitution they care about is the 2nd when it took 10 minutes to reload a musket. They go ahead and skip the 1st amendment and the Establishment Clause.
No, he was born on third base, stole home, and says he hit a home run.
He's playing checkers with himself, and the mfer still loses.
Many Russian government planes are heading east this morning. Putin is going to pull a false flag operation against his own people, blame Ukraine and the west for arming Ukraine, and nuclear weapons will be used for the first time since 1945.
It's Putins war of aggression against the sovereign nation of Ukraine. It's not Zelenskys war either. He didn't fire the 1st shots & try to take Moscow in 3 days, & it certainly is not Biden's fault. All of those Russian planes heading east today signals that Putin is going to pull a false flag op.
The Founders specifically put "separation of church and state" in the Constitution because of all of the wars that had ravaged the European continent that were essentially wars of one religion against another religion. They did not want that happening in the US, hence the Establishment Clause.
Man, I wish we had more governors like Governor Walz. Democrats go into public service to actually help people, while Republicans go into public service to enrich themselves and their donors.
And it looks exactly like that in red districts across the nation.
The MAGA cult are not smart enough to understand that Trumps policies will hurt them, too. They just voted for him so he would hurt other people, not them. They think bc they buy his NFTs, watches, shoes, and meme coins, he wouldn't dare do anything to harm them. That's the problem with cults.
Yes, it happened in the 1950s when corporate tax rates were 50% and tax rates on the top 1% were 50.6%. We built bridges, interstate roads, airports, etc. and corporations, and the wealthy still made plenty of money. Maybe only 1 mansion or 1 yacht, not like now where they have 5 mansions & 5 yachts
Thank you, Rep. Raskin. Millions of Americans will be kicked off of Medicaid unless Democrats like you stand up for ALL Americans Democrat or Republican because this bill will affect people who voted for the felon thinking his policies would only hurt others, not them and their families.
I'm pretty sure Trumps Sec of State Mike Pompeo had negotiations with the Taliban about the withdrawal date. He had those discussions without the actual Afghan government at the negotiating table. Trump & Pompeo agreed with the Taliban on a withdrawal date & Trump also released 5000 Taliban fighters
Without hypocrisy, tax cuts for the 1%, and abject cruelty, vengeance, and retribution Republicans would have no policies at all.
In Don Jr's case, it's probably really hard to meditate after you've snorted a few grams of cocaine.
It's all of the Adderall he takes. It's that simple. He's probably on 60 MG a day easily. That's why he's up at 1am or 3am ALL CAPS rage tweeting about nonsense.
How about drug screenings, too?
And his daily dose of Adderall hasn't worn off yet.
"It's not legal" says the 34 time convicted felon. WTF are we doing here?
They literally paid $787 million for admitting to lying about the 2020 election. Their FCC license should've been canceled because of that admission in court.
He has the syphilitic brain of a 3 yr old. In his demented mind, he can do no wrong. Everything is "the best, biggest, most beautiful" thing the world has ever seen. Not 1 single Republican with a spine will call out his BS. We're about to have 79 million ppl kicked off Medicaid & he's loving it.
He wants to skip ahead to the concentration camps and gas chambers as soon as possible. The longer he waits, the harder it will be to murder 100 million Americans.
Oh, he's not feeling miserable, his brain lacks the capacity for shame, regret, empathy etc. He's a psychopath and his plan is to lock us all in the US and start rounding up people who aren't loyal to him. People thinking midterm elections in 2026 are happening are deluding themselves.
An old $400 million plane that US taxpayers are going to have to spend $1 billion upgrading.
Netanhatyu and Trump are going to build Trump Tower Gaza. That's the plan. That's why Israel is not allowing food and medicine into Gaza to kill off the people that live there, so they can build a luxury resort on the Mediterranean with Trumps name on it. Trump Med-a-Lago or Trump Gaz-A-Lago.
One day, ICE agents are going to break down someone's door at 6 am, and that person will be a card-carrying NRA member with firearms hidden throughout their home, and people are going to get killed bc ICE went to the wrong address. They are the American Gestapo, and they need to be reined in.
