What would you have them do instead? Protests don't work. Speeches in front of microphones don't work. It IS fascism and we voted it into office. The truth is there is only one answer and it's bloody and violent.

What can they do? Seriously? If he tries to stay in power, or not hold the 2026 elections, then shit gets real. Civil war, secession, it will be gnarly. But until, what do you think will work?

He's lying. We were there in June. No homeless. We shopped at the stores, ate in the crazy food court downstairs. It was safe and clean (except for the one legged pigeons everywhere, someone should look into that). They are despicable liars.

Lies. We were just there in June. We walked everywhere. Day, night. It was fine. There were no homeless anywhere. Not at the Mall. Not on the streets around the Mall. Not at the wharf. Not at Du Pont Circle. Not at Union Station. The city was clean and friendly. He's lying.

He says they saw our license plate. I tell him "we hate that f*cker". He turns around and shouts to everyone on the bus "No, they don't like him". Then he turns back, leans his elbow on the window and says "Can you believe it? How did that happen?"

We just spent a week on Vancouver Island, outside of Victoria. As we drove back into the city to catch the ferry, we ended up stuck in rush hour traffic next to a city bus. At a red light, the bus driver motions for us to roll our window down. "Hey, do you like Trump?" he asks.

They have not. They're interpreting the Constitution from a conservative position, but they haven't violated it. The entire structure of the government is based on free and fair elections. They'll uphold that.

So if a list is released, how can we even trust it? How can we know HE didn't make it up? Also, I truly believe that if there was a list, Bush and Obama would have handled that mess when it first happened.
Queen of the Castle (@rhomedford.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, is there other implicating evidence? Probably. But a list? So last week, he finally admits there's no list. There's never been a list. It blows up in his face because MAGA believed there was a list. Now we're back to vague references to a list, but it's fake. Obama made it. 🙄
Queen of the Castle (@rhomedford.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, answer me this: why do you think there's a list? Because the orangutan is the one who started that noise. He slid it in along with the q anon stuff and pizzagate from ten years ago. He ran on Dems being pedophiles. But why would E keep a list? On what planet does that make sense?

It's their business model to be proactive. Where they refuse to insure, it should be a warning to everyone who lives there that it's time to do things differently.

That's too small a view. Climate change is HERE. With one political party in complete denial and the other trying to keep too many people happy, our current stance is reactive. We have to start being proactive. Interestingly, insurance companies are the canaries in the coal mines on this one. 1/
