The more Republicans sream and wail about Democratic Socialists, the better Democratic Socialists sound.
They think they can win by wearing us down, tiring us out. But we’re the ones who get up day after day, week after week, month after month because we have people to take care of and mouths to feed. We are the grindstone and they are the grain to be ground.
Those who tolerate, encourage, facilitate, and enable Trump’s arbitrary exercise of power show themselves to be enemies of the American people.
If US trading partners are smart, they'll hit the US with tarriffs equal or greater than the tarriffs Trump imposed. Trump wants a trade war because he can't win a military war. He's weak and his cabinet secretaries are imbeciles.
No more fretting about "standards and norms". If they are lying, call them liars, to their face. Not "mistaken", not "inaccurate". Liars. Not for their benefit, they have no shame. For ours, so we know you get it and you recognize it. Let's stop the gaslighting where it stands.
I want the next Democratic AG to be f*cking ruthless in prosecuting Trump and his Flying Monkeys and various enablers. No Merrick Garlands!!! Heads need to spin at the speed of the prosecutions.
The clock is ticking on the Republicans and they know it. They are going to get very aggressive with their legislative actions from now until the midterms in the hopes of establishing a MAGA last-stand bulwark against the hoped for blue wave.
Tech Oligarchy mocks classic Capitalism. They have leveraged and exploited limitless and unending resources and selling those to a universal consumer pool. Prices are not determined by traditional competitive forces of limited supply and market demand, but by their pathological desires.
As Trump's Government is actively supressing evidence, committing atrocities, and ignoring court orders, the burden of proof must be flipped in favor of the people. ICE and its agents should be presumed guilty and they must prove their innocence of charges leveled against them.
They don’t revel in cruelty because they have mean streak in their character; they revel in cruelty because that is their character and they believe it to be socially acceptable. They are no longer hiding it; this who they were the whole time.
Trump has no end game for Iran. His end game has always been chaos and the anxiety it brings. He feeds off the emotional state of the world now. It’s his drug and he is addicted. It will not end until he is removed from office.
Narcissists create chaos for the uncertainty and anxiety it causes and the resulting emotional energy which they need to feed off. Stability is an anathema to narcissists like Trump. The Iran war will contibue for as long as he is in office.
As a counter to the conservative/MAGA mantra to "own the libs", I suggest "LIBerate the CONS". It works on so many levels.
The new Trump dollar coin announced by Treasury would make a great target for targetshooting practice. What a great way to hone those 2nd Amend skills. /s
Leadership starts with knowing what others need to succeed without them having to tell you what they think they need to succeed.
I’ve had it with Democratic politicians (Newsom) who try to play both sides of the aisle. Pick a side. Be civil, not subservient.
The Democratic establishment office holders are only reactive. A younger Democratic socialist generation shows the promise of being proactive. Time to give the MAGA Republicans some sleepless nights.
250 years ago, Congress put its life on the line, as a group and individually, to stand up to tyranny of a king. Our modern Congress lacks the courage to stand up to a big baby wanna-be king.
Prediction: JD Vance will leave the Catholic Church and join SSPX within the next 12 months.
With 2 consequential SCOTUS losses this week, what if Trump declares the SCOTUS abolished and disbanded? Would anyone with the ability to stand against him do anything about it? Or would there just be protests but we’d all just go along with it anyway?
Time for the Democratic Establishment to renounce goals seeking to re-establish "stability" and announce goals to erase Republican/MAGA/Trump rule. Bipartisanship only if absolutely necessary. Even then, grudgingly. ALL Trump appointees must be fired on Day 1. ALL of them. No exceptions.
With the Slaughter Decision, the SCOTUS has just given the next Democratic president the OK to fire every single Trump appointeee on Day 1. Every. Single. One. And they had better do that.
Trump never had any intention of stopping his war with Iran. His narcissistic rage compels him to sow chaos so he remains the center of the world’s attention.He will keep ordering attacks until it bores him.
Show me a Trump supporter/MAGAt who isn't a racist.
Of course Trump is lying. That's his normal. The news flash should be when he tells the truth. <cricket chirps>
MAGAts use the words “Woke” and “Woke-ism” with the same venom and vitriol that Segregationists have when they say “N***** Lover”.
