They don't have to. We're accepting everything without pushback.

Hegseth will make sure they get testosterone injections but not actual medical help when they need it.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 1h ago

Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

Congress under Republican control isn't going to do anything to stop Trump. They've proven that over and over again. It's up to us, the American people, either at the ballot box or in the streets.

Miaganga@miaganga.bsky.social · 6h ago

Stop, please. Republicans are not going to do this and we all know that. It is up to us, the American people, to end this madness. Maybe we can do it at the ballot box, but if we can't, we need to be prepared to act.

This is the people's country, not Trump's. What does Trump need to do before we rise up and take it back?

Christine@buphphie.bsky.social · 7h ago

This damned fool needs to be got rid of asap. Whilst we still have a country left. Did he just give permission for these two cities to be blown up?

I disagree. Trump named two major cities in his arch rival Newsom's bluest of blue state. Trump was probably supposed to say one thing, but said what he actually wanted to say. Claiming he meant to say something else is bullshit.

Steve Peers@stevepeers.bsky.social · 4h ago

I had assumed that's what he meant, but it's obviously not what he said. The press should not be condemned for reporting what he said; and no one with this much difficulty expressing his thoughts is fit to be president.

If the president of another major democracy said and did the things Trump has said and done, they would be storming their capital in the millions. Americans, not so much.

Sam🏳️‍🌈🌊🏳️‍⚧️@separker.bsky.social · 5h ago

www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... Any other president would be impeached for such comments, but we don't have an actual Congress at this point. #USDemocracy

The upcoming No Kings protest should be an ongoing protest that doesn't end the same day. Trump is a madman, yet he can ask an enemy to bomb two major U.S. cities and we still won't get up and fight to take our country back. What is wrong with us?

What is the line that Trump can't cross? Asking our enemy to bomb two major U.S. cities isn't enough. What is? We are not helpless. There are 341,000 of us.

Absolutely 👇

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

ProPublica@propublica.org · 8h ago

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

This didn't happen in a vacuum. Long before Trump the wealthy and powerful controlled the messages Americans heard and controlled the politicians who won office through campaign contributions. Money corrupted democracy and controlled the populace through propaganda.

@darren32359.bsky.social · 8h ago

It is unbelievable that Trump can encourage an enemy to obliterate two of this country's major cities and we are not in Washington, D.C. right now shutting the city down and demanding an end to this. Do we actually need it to happen before we act?

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 4h ago

This is such a sick, evil thing to say. Especially because he’s not saying this as a joke. Just as sick that his supporters are laughing at it

The President of the United States is insane, yet we do nothing. Why do we not care about our country enough to fight for it? What is wrong with us?

The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us · 6h ago

The President of the United States just offered to sacrifice American lives.

The media has failed for decades to connect the dots for the American people and we ended up with Trump. When they have tried, they've been accused of having a liberal bias (the truth has a liberal bias) or fake news. Now they are right wing shills.

@billkittle.bsky.social · 2d ago

Republicans really should change their name to the GHP, the Grand Hypocrisy Party.

UtahCruz@utahcruz.bsky.social · yesterday

that special place in hell is waiting...

Hegseth is promoting war and violence as the first solution to global issues, not as a last resort. He is power mad and extremely dangerous.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · yesterday

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

Benevolent dictator is an oxymoron. Someone like you? Like Musk? Trump? We created democracy because there is not such thing as a benevolent dictator. Totalitarianism is stepping backwards, not forwards.

"rich felon, freed by fellow rich felon, thinks law based on popular legitimacy is bullshit." waow

Fitzgerald wrote "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me." Yes. Billionaires are ruthless, lack empathy and compassion, feel they deserve what they have, and have an insatiable desire for more money than they can spend in 100 lifetimes. They only take.

Psaki's Apprentice@sleepycongressman.bsky.social · yesterday

If you were to get $1 billion You cleared your debts You buy home You buy a vacation home or two You get some cars Kids education And at some point, you realize you have to keep it all running So you need more And you need that which you have to last longer you get stingy & creative

Join the group, TechFascists. Fossil fuel companies are already destroying our world, and like idiots we keep electing people who work for them.

David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social · yesterday

Pretty much

POTUS issuing threat and bribes all out in the open. The panic and desperation is apparent.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 2d ago

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

This always happens when we find out the details a few days later on Trump and Nutlick’s Big Announcements. Art of the Deal.

All Republicans can do is lie about everything because they have nothing to show for their time in office except problems that they then claim they can fix. Republican voters have been bamboozled for decades.

Larry Colvin@larrycolvin.bsky.social · yesterday

Absolutely hilarious watching Chris Wright try to pin energy crises on Gavin Newsom and 15 years of Democrat policies. It is always easier to blame a political opponent than to address actual global supply chain realities. #Blues

No. More. Billionaires.

HANSSOLO@hanssolo4love.bsky.social · 2d ago

Take his assets and put him in prison.

Yes. When will we make politicians pay for lying to us? As long as money determines the outcome of our elections, we won't. We will only replace one grifter with another.

M Meerkat@kackbro.bsky.social · 2d ago

Absofreakinlutely They Should......

Seventy-seven million Americans voted for a convicted felon, pedophile, racist and pathological liar less than two years ago. There way too many Americans who believe Tuberville's insane lies.

@randy39.bsky.social · 2d ago

Why are we allowing it to happen? Everyone on the planet would like to know why we are allowing this insanity to go on without fighting back.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2d ago

Wolfers: Imagine we had a female president who was so idiosyncratic and so moody and whose policy decisions were up and down like crazy... Could you just imagine the coverage? It’s utterly bizarre what we allow to happen.

When there's no legal channel left to stop fascism it is up to the people to stop it. Us. Are we just going to sit on our thumbs for the next two years (if he lives that long)? What is wrong with us???

Paul Marvin@paulmarvin.bsky.social · 2d ago

Why do we let this moron go on lying like this FOR YEARS? Are we just going to sit around and let this faux human go on lying with no push back for the next two years? No continuous protests? WHY ARE WE TOLERATING THIS?
