May the "puppet master" burn in he11!! He should be the 1st immigrant put on a plane back to South Africa. If they don't do this, no one else should be deported. He can take his multitude of illegitimate kids with him. Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen!
Just read this. I think the resistance needs a flag, too. It could be a flag we could make with a sign attached to a stick. It would have to be a design set in advanced and then we could all whip it out at a set day and time.
Yes, now how to ungaslight millions of Americans. Any ideas? They won’t even believe it when it affects them they’ll just say it’s the woke left’s fault. They will deny all evidence. It’s bizarre!
Their mentality is pretty much bullet-proof. They start from "it's their fault" and backfill from there. I don't know if even waving it in their faces can make a difference, but it will at least feel good.
Is anyone here connected to Represent.US? They have the only rational way out of this that I've seen. The parties have been playing us for decades, with the US vs THEM mentality. The Democrats have been fighting a rear action, putting up just enough of a fight that we don't get off of our keisters and find a real party. We need to change our tactics.
If we can't make ends meet and Republicans go along with this freaking nonsense, is it not dereliction of Duty so to speak? We hired them to do a job. Why can't we fire them?
I would have thought they could call dereliction of duty on McConnell when he stalled appointing supreme court justices until Obama's time ran out. No, we have no accountability here.
Absolutely!!!!!! If I had done my job like some of these shysters in Congress I would have been fired. This is our tax dollar being burned! Yesterday they passed a “raise” for themselves.
I think the only thing that will demonstrate exactly how we all feel is if everybody at the same time took a mental health day off work. Our society would stop dead in its tracks. Remember when Facebook was offline for 24 hours and everybody almost died?
tRump did not run a political campaign; he ran a marketing campaign to sway people's opinion just enough to get elected. The same kind of campaign that was ran against the people of Great Briton to get them to vote to exit the union, against their own interests. He lied and danced his way through the whole spectacle targeting the uninformed and lower educated voters.
and it worked (maybe, (still not sure it was legit). The fact that he is a convicted felon has been ignored, maybe it is not explicitly spelled out by law, but it should be, this has to be fixed.
It is hard to tell where anti-democratic ideologies end and where the corruption of combined money and power starts. Trump threatens candidates (primary etc.) and Musk agrees to bankroll it. That is Trump warming up his authoritarian impulses. Or... is that Trump being a front man shill on Musk's de facto payroll as Musk seeks power and influence (policies to crush any hint of EV competitors and take over the satellite and rocket world from the big aero-def names including Boeing).
Or is it more a simple case of Musk with a new ball of yarn to play with and exercise his titanic ego. Trump may just be happy to oblige for a while since he knows he can cut this guy out any time he wants? One way or the other, it all ends badly for the country. Just ask the German conservatives who had some clever ideas in the 1920s.
I just want an end to the insanity. Space Karen has been failing upward since day one, I can't even begin to think what will happen if this goes through.
Apparently the Rump wants to add the word "consecutively" to the 22nd amendment so that it reads: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice consecutively." Then in 2028 he can bully the US into giving him another four years.
Of course with increase in power to dictator status he'll chuck the whole amendment and declare himself Resident President for life, with the position to be hereditary.
He doesn't realise, of course, that Obama could also stand for President again…
I'm sorry to tell you that we're a little late for that. They definitely control the world now. We'd have to take it back, and that hasn't been done since the early 1800's.

we can always take his citizenship away. you KNOW he is not paying taxes he absolutely owes.
“Extremely divorced guy”! Snort!!
The first time I was aware of Musk was when he was complaining online about his first ex-wife making him look bad. I’d never heard of him before that.
It's time for all of us to begin the work for resistance. January 20th is National Day of Resistance. Check out Malcolm Nance's substance for concrete actions we can all take. https://open.substack.com/pub/malcolmnance/p/forming-the-new-american-resistance?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Probably, yea, but not one that looks like the Mastercard logo.
I bought one from BannerFi.
substack not substance

When we will ALL wake up??? Hopefully it will not be too late!

That was McConnell
You right. Thanks.

Are we simple idiots?

Good idea!!!!! Strike …. Let them look for help… none… like we ask for purpose and action… we get zip!!

We really need to start using the word plutocracy more.

Seizing the reins and hanging on…

I’d never heard that Charlie Chaplin bit before. How powerful it is and how relevant. Thank you for that…it is going on my FB page. Again, thank you.
That is a great movie.
The times they sure are a-changin...
10,000+ Amens!
