J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.

Don Moynihan (@donmoyn.bsky.social) reposted
New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

Oh no, PIP? I thought that corporate BS died off 20yrs ago. This also has to be satire. Who could be this tone deaf?

Noem et al will have to explain their support of this fool - for foistering an obviously ignorant Narcissist onto the country. Let's hope Dems can take back ground in 2026.

He's a war(lord) hero for MAGA. History will be brutal on this hollow man.
Norm Cook (@normcook.bsky.social) reply parent
I guess that's a real quote? He fears God because he thinks he's also aggressive and unloving like his father. If there's a heaven, he'll run away like the White witch in Narnia.

It never stops being odd that nobody calls him out for fawning over a brutal dictator.

Damn fool, stunningly tone deaf or mentally unraveled.

Everyone should stop and give this man a beating for asking a stupid fucking question. We're far too tolerant and not enough consequences for bad behaviour.

$67M is beer money - aka cost of doing business. It needed to be closer to Fox's $700 million to make an impact.

Americans need a prize for enduring this rambling fool. He's a chronic embarrassment.

Is ignominy too strong of a word, because it seems like ignominy for America. He's an embarrassing simpleton and ignorant fool.

Distraction theater again.
Norm Ornstein (@normornstein.bsky.social) reposted
All true, but let’s add that he has a long history of being bailed out by Russian mobsters, engaging in money laundering with Russian oligarchs and had every minute of time in Moscow for the Miss Universe quest followed or taped. It’s not wacky to wonder about all of that.

What are the chances of Vance's backers will oust trump before 2028.

I'm Canadian and embarrassed for your country ... useful idiot and resident fool using right-wing propaganda machine for Russian talking points.

Good reminder.
Norm Cook (@normcook.bsky.social) reply parent
Run the Russian propaganda, Fox. Sow doubt and division of free and fair elections—just like Vlad wants. Where's Congress?
Norm Cook (@normcook.bsky.social) reply parent
The Russians must be laughing hysterically at how easy it was to fool the Americans. I think it was 2015, but Trump accurately predicted that Republicans would roll over to his whims.

If they display the level of ineptitude in public then certainly this assessment is correct. What level of professionalism does Noem, Hegseth and Gabbard bring?
Norm Cook (@normcook.bsky.social) reply parent
A hollow pathological Narcissist, ignorant and self-serving; using the presidency to enrich him and his family. And Congress rubber stamps the worst impulses of America.

How are Americans going to defend this part of history? The embarrassment will be El Grande

"Trump's interpretation of American history" Impressive ring-kissing, and should be a Onion headline. The dullest and most ignorant president in American politics wants to stamp his interpretation of history. 😅🙄🤡

She's riding a high horse with her accusations - maybe a Christian wouldn't support a convicted felon or sexual abuser ... Or a man that has an extensive history with Epstein.

No surprise it was a red herring by the gov't.
Norm Cook (@normcook.bsky.social) reply parent
Aye - MAGA 😬
Norm Cook (@normcook.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't even think they need that information from Trump's team ... he's a simpleton and easily manipulated with faux praise. They know the game.

Brash criminals are confident no one will leak any information, and they'll manage to cover and carry on? More from the Upside Down World.

Would like to see media calling out lies, and how liars are eroding society. Call them out as corrosive and damaging.

Not at all - but I think we'd be closer to having a fair election in 2028 with Vance as president. And he's not cognitively impaired and mentally unraveling.

Vance backers will need to coordinate an effort to get rid of him.

Scott Bessent tells us it's idiosyncratic and Jesse Watters would say high inflation is masculine.

He can't have what universities have—knowledge, intelligence, hard work and respect—so he attempts to wreck it. A petty and small man.
