Exactly. John Thune is escaping blame so far, but he's just as guilty.

And the checks and balances of our Senate, Congress and Supreme Court are actively allowing his fascism to destroy America. He cannot do this on his own! He did not take down America on his own! The GOP planned and executed the destruction and trump is the face of it.
So how many brought up that occupying American cities with military is illegal and against the Constitution?
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Just saw a clip on ABC news that showed a small Guatemalan child being led to a plane for deportation with her ankles shackled. This country has lost its soul.

JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
*Anti-human
No one was anti-vaccines until the right wing started lying about them.
Corporations need to understand civil war isn't good for business.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Our democracy is under attack across our nation, and we cannot continue down this path towards authoritarianism. Thank you Congressman Jamie Raskin for highlighting the severe threats to democracy at our tele-town hall.

Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
Worst part about this is the betrayal of trust. We put trust in our elected representatives not to harm us. And what have they done? They've breached our social security information, they've breached our medical information, they have stolen our tax dollars, they have turned our own military on us.
Okay Fuck Traitor Trump
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order to prepare the city for a possible deployment of the National Guard, as President Donald Trump has threatened. "We have not called for this. Our people have not asked for this," Johnson said.
That's why he is invading major American cities. He needs to control elections.
Seceding just means civil war though. You think trump is going to lose the 4th greatest economy on the planet? All this to protect a sexual abuser, thief, liar, traitor, conman. Republicans are as guilty as trump is.
He's telling us how he'll cheat.
My dear friend was visiting from the US. I mentioned how many people I know in our area with Covid this summer and she gasped. "You have Covid here still? I can't believe you still have Covid!" I checked her city wastewater report. They definitely still have Covid. They just don't know it. 😬
Trump is obviously trying to destroy the middle class. They are returning us to serfdom.

there’s a story to be written about how murdoch has been slowly merging fox news into fox’s wildly popular sports offerings. they are injecting fascist propaganda into less politically engaged households — this year, they’ve even moved the big games off fox sports & onto their new news/sports app
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
He already gave Putin back door access to our digital infrastructure, he is weakening and harming Americans. Trump is gearing up for invading his own country.
They are all traitors. Not even a handful of Republicans are defending the Constitution.
How do you mean?
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Reminder: Republicans are invading our own cities with our own military to protect sexual abusers of minors.
Republican BIG LIE no. 612: that they ever cared about states rights
Mind you murder rates are higher in Memphis and Dayton than in Chicago. But no troops there because those cities (a) do not determine election outcomes and (b) are not at the center of a Fox News culture war.
If this were about crime he'd invade even higher crime red states. He needs to occupy cities to get control of elections. Our military is being used to keep a fraudster, sexual abuser, seditionist out of prison.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
States have to jump on solar and wind independently. I am betting trump will disrupt state electricity sources this winter in order to control them.
Congressional Republicans could stop this in a second. They are the biggest traitors in our history.

WE are funding THAT
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family’s ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.

Okay, my 101-year-old grandfather is really enjoying the responses he’s gotten here, so I’ve finally convinced him to let me share something he’s been working on for years; a series of sculptures he calls “Trumpinnochios.” Here’s one of his best. I’ll share a few more in this thread.

Let's not pretend we are in normal times anymore. We need to fucking rally. All I see Democrats do is play some self righteous game and divide the party.
Well, your tunnel vision got us trump, happy?? Jesus Christ.
Keep spouting that bullshit. You are the one hurting the trans community.
When these studies are stopped suddenly you can't just restart them. Trump is literally wasting BILLIONS of our tax dollars on stopped research studies.He should just have a bonfire on the White House lawn and throw our tax dollars on it. What a horrible steward of our hard earned money.

Notice how the anti-immigrant GOP is fine with a German, a South African, and an Australian destroying the country. It's right in line with their hypocrisy.
Trump is intentionally harming Americans in every way possible.
When will it ever end? How many ways can he show a blatant disregard for his citizens and still hold power?
CDC's Daskalakis provides important context for his resignation. RFK Jr has shut the CDC out of health policy decisions-- not consulting nor even informing them. "The American people should now be wary of advice from the agency tasked with keeping them safe." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/p...

How about the alligator moats. All this blood shed is on Republican hands.
Isn't a 22 year old with zero experience....in charge of terrorism? Trump did that because he wants terrorist activities. My god, how many American lives will have to be lost to keep trump out of prison. Congressional Republicans have blood on their hands.

Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.

States need to jump on independent energy sources like wind and solar. I think trump is going to use energy cut offs to states for leverage this winter.
Canceling clean energy programs means fewer projects, higher costs, and more burden on working families. That’s the wrong direction. Clean energy creates jobs, lowers bills, and builds the infrastructure we need.
Indeed! 1) Every Republican accusation is a confession of guilt. 2) Take the direct opposite of every claim, e.g., freedom=no freedom, care about children=couldn't care less about children, states rights=fuck states rights, etc
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
OR make it a blue state network...
Trump is clearly trying to harm and weaken Americans. Why would someone want to weaken their own population...?
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
Love Neil Young!! And he just came out with an awesome new song, “Big Crime,” : It does not mention Trump but includes lines such as, “There’s big crime in D.C. at the White House.” Click on link m.neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/Viewp...

All of this initially stems from bullshit lies coming from Putin's troll army whose one goal is to destroy Americans. And idiot Americans fell for it. What Kennedy is doing is intentionally harming Americans.
