Left AZ after retirement. In nice blue MA on a secluded pond. I believe in separation of church and state, Medicare and equal rights for all, all humans are precious and flummoxed that so many Americans voted for a con man that will strip their rights.
Recipe please!

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
If this nation had moral standards, a pedophile would not be allowed to host a murderer in the Oval Office.

Yes, this is a real post made by the Department of Homeland Security.
None of this is normal.
No other president would make ugly, partisan political attacks while speaking to our troops. No other president would force our military to listen to such ugly partisanship. Our military is not partisan. Itβs above all that. Shameful. Despicable. Un-American. That is Trump.π

But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.
9 months back in power, and every branch of government now merged into one corrupt man. The House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, all nothing but autopens for a crook whoβs doubled his fortune while Americans starve.
...
Itβs painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnsonβs covering up Jeffrey Epsteinβs global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.
Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.
This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude
Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.
