Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
Nearly every single one of my relatives and people I grew up with (I'm in my 60s) thinks crime is the worst it's ever been, that the inner cities are literal battlegrounds of black gangsters, and that it's the Democrats fault. They refuse to listen to or look at anything that contradicts this view.
Soon… soon. You can FEEL it now.
Right there with ya, brother.
Someone let me know when the first white person is detained by ICE. I won’t be holding my breath.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Verily, there will be mirth and merriment.
We are going to be living in VERY interesting times when the old pedophile with dementia who cheats at golf is gone.
Definitely. And they have to explain WHY they are doing it, loudly, continuously, and in terms a 4 year old could understand, and they have to be willing to take the heat they will get if they do it. So yeah, it's not gonna happen. Sigh.
THIS
Soon... soon... this glorious day will be upon us. I don't care who the replacement is (well... maybe), as long as I no longer have to hear about the latest insane, batshit crazy, reality-bending thing he has spewed out or the latest ridiculously unqualified moron he has appointed.
trumpwatch is the bluesky version of buying a powerball ticket. It's not about the odds, it's about the dream
Frankly I’m surprised more comparativists aren’t saying, “Aw that’s so cute. America’s having its first little premature rumor and speculation frenzy about the autocrat’s death after his public absence for a brief period” (common in authoritarian regimes)
If only it were true, what a glorious day it would be. Ah well, patience is a virtue. That day will come soon, to the sounds of much celebration.
Art depicting “Sandwich Guy” now at the scene of the alleged misdemeanor.
Imagine... just TRY to imagine, I dare you, what Republicans in the Senate and Congress and their Faux News mouthpieces (or is that the other way around now?), the NRA, and the Supreme Court would have done if Joe Biden or Barack Obama had done this.
How did we get used to the fact that our president is the biggest idiot on earth?
If you were a foreign adversary trying to destabilize the United States, you could do a lot worse than what the Republican Party has done by putting this old, senile pedophile who cheats at golf in charge. I still want to know where all these "Fierce Constitutionalist" Republicans dissapeared to.
I'm sure their grandparents who killed Nazis in WW2 would be proud of them.
I miss the old brand #CDC
Can you imagine what Faux News and the Republican Party (or the Supreme Court, for that matter) would have done if Barack Obama or Joe Biden had said those EXACT words? I'm not sure I can.
They were only warning against DEMOCRATS doing it (or, more precisely, BLACKS). It's perfectly fine for REPUBLICANS to do it. Especially if they're doing the bidding of their Dear Leader Trump.
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
After watching that embarrassing, sycophantic, sing-Trump’s-praises cabinet meeting, I understand how North Korea got the way it is.
No one is saying this except Trump.
THANK YOU #POTUS for acknowledging Ukraine's Independence Day is what I would've written yesterday if he hadn't completely ignored it. #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦
This is 100% correct.
More like this please
Seriously, since when has flattering Trump worked for anyone? It just convinces him you have no spine, so he screws you over harder.
"I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission?"
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.
"Cutting intelligence by half" kind of sums up the second Trump administration, doesn't it?
So did Ghislane Maxwell ever say “Donald Trump” didn’t do anything inappropriate, or was it always “The President “?
This will be abolished before the end of September, when the God Emperor complains about it.
Using threats of violence to gain power. Targeting political enemies. Undermining the free press. Pumping huge sums of money into the police state. Just a few months into his second term, Donald Trump is already following the dictator's playbook to a tee.
To loud and enthusiastic cheers of the entire Republican Party. The party of “Law and Order”. The party of “Fierce Constitutionalists”. What a bunch of fascist sycophantic pedophile supporters they’ve become.
Hey! Governor DeSantus:
Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.
You k ow who doesn’t have to worry about political retribution? Merrick Garland. But, then again, no one would have had to worry about political retribution had Merrick Garland done his job.
Oooh, don’t tell them about gloves! Or night time!
I like that she was compelled to explain it wasn’t her idiotic idea, lol.
this constant pervasive sense of dread is not my favorite thing, gotta admit
I’ve literally gone back into therapy because of the events of the past 7 months.
Except for MAGAts.
I think the World Cup should seriously reconsider having their event in the USA.
Especially since the winners would likely have to hand the Cup over to Donald Trump if they don’t want to be sent to Alligator Auschwitz.
I’m sure the people making that decision got a good laugh about it. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing.
At some point, there's going to have to be reckoning about how Democratic messaging to Hispanic voters failed so badly on such an obvious case.
Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“
Remember, it's only ok if REPUBLICAN states do it. As the Supreme Court is going to remind us shortly....
Something about "sheriffs", I think?
And that's not even the worst part of his "Presidency" (It sickens me to use that word)
that the phrases “intentionally destroying the economy” and “worst economic president of our lifetimes” arent being said everywhere right now by dem politicians makes my head want to explode
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He was told there would be no fact checking.
You guys. The Lisa Cook story isn’t about her mortgages. Please please please stop being so credulous.
WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. Once the government acquires a stake in Intel, the politicians will have an incentive to keep pouring on subsidies so they wouldn’t have to admit a mistake. .. This is corporate statism, and rarely does it end well.” @wsj.com $INTC www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...
Step 1: Call everyone who disagrees with you a communist. Step 2: Adopt the exact economic policies of the Chinese Communist Party.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."
That WAS the purview of the states 6 months ago… now, who the f**k knows what the Supreme Court will say?
Democrats spend far too much time thinking and talking about how to attack Trump & his party. No one attack ever works in politics. What does work is a commitment to sustained aggression. Attack, attack, attack. How Newsom is attacking is much less important than the fact that he is attacking.
That didn’t really happen, right? RIIIGGHHTTT?????
Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying. Protest. Go to town halls. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Keep speaking out. The fight against authoritarianism will take all of us — and we can't relent.
Thank you, The Onion. I needed a really, really good laugh today that didn’t involve a certain old pedophile with dementia who cheats at golf.
IT’S WORRRRKKKEEENNNGGGG!!!
As a Republican, he prefers "alternate facts".
She is a gem, and her articles alone are worth the subscription price.
25th Amendment invocation WHEN?
And not a single peep from ANY so-called "Fierce Constitutional Republican"...
"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
A teacher isn't going to shoot an unarmed black guy in the back, so what good are they to Trump?
Jeffrey Epstein (he's not dead, you know. He's in the bunker in Mar A Lago. Trust me on this), The entire authorship of Project 2025, The staff of Faux News. It's really not hard to guess....
Here's hoping your weekend is as happy as Mabel.
Yes, yes, Hillary, but MY CHILD SAW A BLACK PERSON ONCE AND HAS BEEN FOREVER TRAUMATIZED!!!! We must not let the crime of breathing while black go unpunished!!!
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
We’d have had to nuke ‘em from orbit in that case.
The Armed Forces make their oath to protect the CONSTITUTION, NOT the President. We are swiftly approaching the time (if not already past it) where they are going to have to decide if their oaths mean anything to them at all.
Trump is reportedly creating a loyalty scorecard that rates how hard corporations work to support his agenda. His regime is apparently planning to consult the ratings when considering corporate requests. This is how things work in a dictatorship.
Protesters from the NRA when???
He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.
Case in point: bsky.app/profile/seth...
The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.
That's the entire point. It's not about crime, it's about deporting and terrorizing non-whites. Period.
They were told there would be no fact checking.
In the time when we all lived in caves, half of everyone born was dead by age 30. By 1840, half of everyone born was dead by 35. ( despite organic foods, clean air & water (etc) Today’s much long life expectancy is due to science - the meds, the vaccines etc Do not listen to RFK Jr
Hey, guys. Guess what we’re not talking about any more.
There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.
Little did we know back then just how bad a Republican Administration's picks could be. I would welcome Bork with open arms for ANY position now in the Trump admin. He could not possibly be worse than ANY of them.
There aren't enough palms in the world...
As long as they think only non-whites are affected, they approve. Drive an hour from any major city, stop at a restaurant, and just listen to the conversations (if you’re white). None of this comes as a surprise to those of us from the Midwest.
The second amendment “rise up against government tyranny” folks are also real quiet.
The Trump Administration is going after anyone not white, so it’s a-ok with them.
And the Republican Party and Faux News said "So what?"
Just remember- We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
“HaRris wOulD haVe BeeN woRsE!!!” I know people personally who have said this. It’s a cult, there is NOTHING Republicans can do that would convince them to vote for a Democrat. Nothing.
Sydney who?
Not just "No", but "Hell no".
