Doctor: "I'm sorry, you have cancer and only 6 months to live. But some good news, you've lost 10 pounds so I'm taking you off of the blood pressure medication"
He should have never been confirmed, but here we are and there’s no way off this ride. Trump won’t fire him unless MAGA turns on him
Even if there were any adults left in the building, Trump is the only one that can fire him and unless RFK does something to piss Trump off or make him look bad to MAGA, that’s never happening
You're gonna have to remind me... Who owns the Post again? I feel like that might mean something
You believe what now? Come on.. she wants a pardon.
We've been saying for a long time that the US has a mental illness problem. Now we've decided to let those mentally ill people lead us and it's going how you would expect
Was your account hacked?
If they aren't going to release three Epstein list, every one of the victims should start naming names.
Alaska is a Trump state so pretty sure they're not just trolling Russia. Surprised the governor hasn't asked Alaskans to take the reporters in as guests
What do you call something that’s more insane than insane? We’ve reached the point where language isn’t enough to express how bad this timeline is
Anybody with a medical license who advocates for Americans paying higher healthcare costs should lose their license
Also, we already know, but it would be good to see it in writing
This is the sharpie on the weather map all over again
Entertainment space for the wealthy and well connected paid for by the American taxpayer. Completely tone deaf thing to spend $200 million on right now. DOGE cuts everywhere and this gets done
The fact that it’s taken this long, with everything that’s already happened, for Jeffries to be making this statement now speaks volumes to how badly we need a wholesale change of leadership
Republicans don’t care and Democrats don’t know how to handle anything that’s going on right now. So it becomes just another crazy thing that happened in a sea of insanity
Comments did not disappoint
She wants to be released from jail. She’ll do anything and say anything Trump wants to get that to happen
People said the same every time Beto ran in Texas too, but nothing changed. Is anything different this time?
You maybe could have worded that better. Sounded like you were saying Daniels was wrong
Pretty sure “social media blogger” is all the experience required to write for the NYT now
First off, why was he wearing a 20 pound chain? Second, what tech would have allowed him to get into the MRI machine with it on? #1 I guess I can see because people make weird choices, but #2? Doubt it
We could spend a lot of time doing that or we could spend that time figuring out what drove people to make the stupid choice when they were warned of the consequences. This might all be irrelevant though if we’re never able to vote again
It wasn’t vote rigging that got him elected. It was stupidity. Rigging on a national scale would be almost completely impossible and would have been detected. People just didn’t made a very stupid choice.. maybe because of the economy.. maybe because Harris is a woman.. we need to fix stupidity
How did they think this would be a good idea from the beginning?
Hairspray meets Wicked meets Starlight Express
The right wing take would probably be that this is another Biden DEI failure and McDonald's needs to go back to hiring competent white people to make sure everyone gets their hash browns
Nobody should ever wonder how Trump was able to bankrupt a casino
It could be 9 thousand. It won't matter. The GOP can't upset Orange Jesus
If a snowball is going to survive in hell, it needs to pretend to be a hot coal
The Republican candidate could have literally been a convicted serial killer and up against a female democrat in KY, the results would have been the same
If I know that it should be "a US family" not "an US family" do I get extra credit?
So basically, "Stop! or I'll say Stop again!"
So what's to stop any political group of designating itself a church in order to avoid having to pay taxes now?
Protesting is good. Keep protesting. But judges don't make decisions based on protests. Get it into the constitution. That's the only way it can't easily be taken away again
What's the point in asking questions when you're just going to get lies for answers? So that we can say "that's a lie!"? Yes, we already know
White House press conferences under Trump are a joke. It's all lies and propaganda. They don't serve and kind of legitimate purpose
There is one person that really wants the bill to pass and that's all Johnson cares about.
Unfortunately these are the vast majority of "hate" posts. Between the trolls and the people that just need to feel validated in their opinion, it gets overwhelming
He produced a report with citations to sources that don't exist. These aren't gotcha questions. They're legitimate. And no amount of pre-guidance would make any justification he provided stand up
Then why is Trump giving exception to farms and hotels? If Americans are so in favor of deportation, everyone should have to suffer the consequences together
So at what point do we admit that we're basically in another civil war?
If Mark wants to fight with right wing bots, trolls, and MAGA zealots, Twitter and Facebook are where he should be. And that's ok. Keep the crazy off of this platform
You do you.
You have a really weird definition of racism
If they highlight the freedom of assembly part, they lose out on the outrage coverage they need for their freedom of the press claim
And we're back to nothing really matters, so fuck it
More productive would be giving them something they'll have a hard time spinning - US and CA flags on all of the protesters. Show the country that this is an attack on America, not some legitimate US government action against a Mexican invasion like they're trying to make it
If your point is nothing matters anyway so fuck it, then.. 👍
If you look at the video of a spray painted vehicle flying the flag of a different country - doesn't matter what county - doing donuts in the middle of a crowd of people as being "in control" and somehow productive to the goal then we live in different worlds
Republicans are a messaging machine thanks to Fox News and it's clones. Democrats are absolute dog crap at it
It can. And if you think it can't happen to you then I guess we're done here
I guess maybe tell that to the people being snatched off the street. Pretty sure they want someone to fight by their side.
When I watch mainstream news it's typically BBC.. so I'm aware of the spin that most US based media puts on things. And I still stand by my original post
You want people to fight with you, they have to believe in your cause. It's 100% optics
Then help me understand the kind of media you think I should be consuming. Be specific
So you're framing this as a fight to have Mexico reclaim California?
Again, I'm a few hundred miles away. I don't meet people that were there on the street. I experience this like most of the country - through social media or what's on television. So, respectfully, Jesus Christ what do you expect?
Then show them. Every post I've seen, every TikTok video.. even the one that started this thread.. shows Mexican flags. That's what I'm seeing and I'm in the same state. Imagine how this looks across the country. It's not a Mexuco vs US fight but it looks like it
Thanks for understanding, but it sounds like you're saying the American flag, or even the California flag, doesn't represent non-white people? Only the Mexican flag can represent Hispanic people?
Doesn't bother me at all. In a May Day celebration? Great. In a fight protecting people in the US against the government, it's the wrong messaging. But fight the fight you think you're having
c:/Calify/California
I live in Northern California and I know Calify loves is proud of its Mexican heritage, but right now it's about American citizens AND residents standing up to the American government. Let them show that on Fox News. Don't make it an America vs Mexico thing. That's not what this is
Did you even read what I wrote? Nothing is wrong with the Mexican flag, but this isn't Mexico. We're talking about defending a US state against the US government. Use the US flag or the California flag unless you don't think those should represent everyone that's here?
What part of that is racist? Please
This is the stuff that ends up on Fox News as propaganda. A spray painted cybertruck with a Mexican flag. I love Mexico. Mexico is great. But we need to be using the California flag and maybe not making it look like we're out of control. In a war of images, this doesn't help
Wouldn't this mean American forces would potentially be on opposing sides? Not sure if that would be a good idea optically
It's great to know your rights, but that won't stop them from being completely disregarded
He'll fix the weather maps with a sharpie and claim all of the damage is fake news. We've seen this show before
Pretty sure England didn't like the violence and vandalism of the colonists either, but there's a legitimate time and fighting back against a fascist group calling itself the US Government fells like that time
Vote on your phone? This isn’t American Idol. I thought this guy was supposed to be smart
Pride didn’t start as a celebration. It started as a protest. We have nothing to celebrate and everything to protest
We clearly aren’t doing anything about it
I would honestly be more shocked if he knew anything at all about natural disasters
Masked goon squads were a feature of his first term. Not sure why it’s surprising that they’re back again
The GOP is setting the house on fire and Schumer is acting like they just burned some toast. He’s not fit for this moment
He always talks and tweets using extremely vague language and I’ve never heard one reporter ask him to clarify. We just accept it like it has meaning. It’s insane
So embarrassed to be an American right now
If they’re looking for the Dem Joe Rogan, they aren’t looking for a journalist. Joe Rogan isn’t a journalist. They’re looking for a propagandist
It would be sweetly ironic if he ends up paying the price for the devastation that he caused at the hands of the fascist state that he enabled
It’s amazing to see how much we will put up with. I keep wondering if there will be a tipping point
Trump’s golf outings are expensive
Why was there a giant wasp alive in your house.. for an hour?
His salary is paid by US taxes and he’s a “billionaire”. He thinks kids get 30 dolls for Christmas. Pretty sure he doesn’t care
It’s a movie themed posts day for him. He’s also putting a 100% tariff on non-US made movies, so…
If the Democrats win the midterms and take both houses of congress.. and if all of them hold together and vote as a block, then yeah.. but with Democrats like Fetterman, that’s not a given
The 25th would require people in his cabinet who had a spine and weren’t part of his cult
Stumbles is carrying a heavy load here
So what you’re saying is, he’s a garbage human being from every angle?
Fun fact though, Sean is married to a former reality tv and current Fox News personality. So there’s your Hegseth tie-in
In this case, it’s actually former reality tv celebrity and Wisconsin congressman Sean Duffy
His religious supporters aren’t catholic, they’re Christian nationalists. They’ll love this
Everyone trashed Moffat during his run. Now he’s a god by comparison.
Honestly, every carrier should suspend operations at Reagan until the military is restricted from flying anywhere near there
Warning from your future.. 55 is so much worse than 44
This means nothing without a conviction in the Senate though. Trump was impeached twice, finished his term and came back cause even more destruction
@schumer.senate.gov - if you’re incapable of quickly and easily being able to demonstrate the difference between Trump and the Democrats with the worst performance of a President in modern history, you’re the wrong person for the job
So, hypothetically, what should we be looking to stock up on now?
