As a UK follower, firstly, the best to all you resisters in the US. Second, you're about the only deity I have any faith in.

Quite a few of us are actually sane, really.

Sally Burton's avatar

I know. And I feel for you.

That's awfully nice of you, Sally. If I were in your shoes i.e. if I were an educated person in another country I would probably be thinking the worst of all Americans right now. We deserve it, for what we have unleashed on this planet, historically and in the past eight years.

"The worst of Americans"… trouble is, The Rump got too many of the worst of Americans to vote. Usually one-third don't bother voting.

If there were another election and more of the country, now angry, voted at all and voted Democrat, you'd have a good chance.

If we’d really wake up in America, we’d know the truth about votes… like 4 million thrown out…. Dip shit did not win. Precisely his con artist leaders : Heritage Foundation: sue them and ask them to move to Hungary. Impeach.

But there very well may not be another election. Voter suppression worked in the last one and they're now in a position to take it to an extreme in order to remain in power. If that fails, Trump will simply dissolve the Constitution and rule as a true dictator. Most of our military/police are rabid MAGA supporters. I don't see how--regardless of whatever happens next--this all doesn't end very badly for the U.S.

One is reminded of Trump's promise last year to fundamentalists: If enough of them went out and voted for him in November 2024 they would never have to vote again.

At the time many of us feared that we understood why: he would make himself President for life — an Emperor, a King, a dictator.

No more sissy "democratic" elections.

And probably instead of the House and the Senate he'd just have a Court of fawning obedient toadies, not elected but selected, by him. Not to mention succession also completely in the hands of the top dog.

By the way, around here we pronounce DoGE "doggy".

Goooood doggy.

Now, now, the past four years weren't completely terrible under Biden; he just had a ton of crap to deal with not seen since Hercules had to clean out the Aegean Stables. X-P

Though I do think he made some mistakes here and there, t'weren't nothin' compared to the Mango Mussolini in his first term... X-P

Hey, belated congratulations on the Labour Party wins over there! :D

(Ironically, their special elections were held on 4 July... ;-))

Question: what would happen if the tiny-brained "very stable genius" attacked Canada to annex it militarily? Considering Canada is a Commonwealth realm, would that be declaring war on the U.K. and the rest of the Commonwealth? :-/

Rise up however you are able, friends. Call your representatives until someone answers. Boycott. Resist. We cannot allow Donorrhea and his band of merry oligarchs to destroy our country.

Patty Smith's avatar

Donorrhea - I like that a lot. Fitting. Yes, we are rising.

I don't think one or 2 impeachment filings a day is too much! Didn't the GOP make congress vote to repeal ACA over 200 times when Chump was in office before??? They didn't have a chance in hell to repeal it, but they never stopped trying! I say bombard them with this 💩 every day, over and over!!! Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen!

And throw in a little 25th Amendment action, if you please.

Third time’s a charm.

Dear God: I’m taking many naps these days. In between them, I’m agitating mightily to get these motherfucking SNAKES out of my motherfucking government. 🐍

Derek Smith's avatar

Thou art correct, oh mighty one. The blasphemer McConnell and the harlot whose name is Mace shall be first in line before the golden sow.

Teri Simonds's avatar

I suggested to my Representative that he introduce article of impeachment against Treasury Secretary Bessent. Cabinets members can be impeached (if one can believe the info coming out of Google these days) but it’s rare. Maybe we need to make it less rare over the next four years.

I am more and more convinced that his evil cabal of wealthy psychopaths RIGGED the election. The FIX WAS IN. Of course it will never be proven, since the aholes are taking over ALL of our Governmental agencies. When was Musk Melon Head elected President?! Did I MISS something?! I was mildly amused by the orange POShits' antics for a couple of days.....I'm not laughing anymore. Not even smiling. He makes me GAG. And frankly, I think we're very much SCREWED.

I can't help but be reminded of that age-old favorite Republi-CON phrase, "a good guy with a gun." As you were........

Maybe someone should ask The companies that make voting tabulation systems if they had any problems on November 6th?

Corlis Robe's avatar

A plan of action. Sounds good.

Sarah3000's avatar

Dear God,

I heard today that Mitch McConnell took a fall on the Senate floor. Was that you finally smiting him for allowing Trump to avoid impeachment and wrecking havoc on Americafor a second time? If so, you have many other people to add to your Smite List. I recommend you make Musk and Trump your next targets. Otherwise, our country is screwed. Please, smite away!!!!

As a 76 year old woman, I am doing whatever I can to help: reading up on factual pieces such as Heather Cox Richardson and others here on Substack. I give money to ACLU, Human Rights, Planned Parenthood, Vote Vets, and others. At my age I really cannot go to the state capital and protest, but am spreading the word on social media. I feel that we must all stay informed and be alert. If we see something, get out the cellphone and record it! Don’t let the marginalized people get hurt in this hostile environment without doing something to help!
