😆 We have a winner right here for the Halloween costume with a winning message too! It goes to Mr. Clean!

So, if you're one of those people who isn't paying attention to what's going on around them, you should try un-stucking your head out of your ass. I think you would be surprised.

🤣😂😆 The entire 🦇 bat species are definitely insulted by this. But it comes as no surprise that the entire administration has gone batshit crazy! They have allowed these rabid individuals to take over the entire government!

(No need for costumes for their Great Gatsby Halloween party.)

U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the 'new model' is factory jobs for life— for you, your kids, and your grandkids BY EMMA BURLEIGH May 2, 2025 at 1:21 PM EDT "This is the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here," U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says.

Behold the future these avaricious, corrupt, rotten R-wing oligarchs have planned for you, your kids and grandkids. They’ve been upfront, some folks were just too cowardly to remove their rose tinted glasses off. Try some courage, you fools. Your world will be far from ideal, but it will be clearer.

Meanwhile, there’ll be a stark contrast if we calculated the same tax revenue from ICE thugs & that's just taxes. Businesses also thrive through their spending. But they’re too prejudiced to admit that illegal immigrants offer more value than they cost & must be convinced immigrants are human first.

This is when that moral compass, professional judgment and ethical responsibility comes into play. And unless these people participating in these extrajudicial killings have skewed or lacking in these principles or are sociopaths and psychopaths, won’t they just feel all kinds of shite when:

NDAs cannot be used to "prevent or deter someone from co-operating w/ a criminal investigation or reporting misconduct" or anything under the clauses of ILLEGAL/ ILLEGALITIES. Like executing people in international waters, signing w/o understanding/the capacity to understand their legal obligations.

They have no regrets having their intentional dishonesty discovered & exposed, they’re just being facetious. Everyone everywhere should assume that anything coming from this admin is wholly untrustworthy. Also, falsifying evidence is a legitimate reason for these DOJ lawyers to be disbarred. Do it.

@lakitukl.bsky.social said it best: "Why break into fort knox if you can digitally heist it?.. for an already deeply criminal administration," this does not need contemplation at all. It's already in motion.

Seems like it..

😏Wasted effort then, looking for a heart that doesn't beat or exists, as well as a brain that isn't working normally or can't be found. And we're left to speculate about a medical technique and result that might or might not be a lie... since it's coming out from his mouth where his heart lies.

Might be worthwhile to remind them of the warning this old phrase conveys; it appears they've forgotten because they are drunk w/ power.
They felt omnipotent now, like addicts, high on power. But what happens when individuals become so drunk on power again? History is full of examples of this kind.

Everyone participating in these boat strikes should put their thinking caps on. And they might as well ponder what their lives will be like following this administration.

Same goes for anyone who take part in these callous ICE attacks on citizens as well as their inhumane abductions & detentions.

He’s onto something here—the frustration is very real & justified. He’s calling out hypocrisy & political nonsense w/ brutal honesty that resonate w/ people who are fed up & want someone to just say the damn thing out loud!

The contrast: priority for grandeur vs. people in crisis =sharp disconnect.

It’s less charitable, more strategic investment in influencing access/policy/prestige.

When your gov. says it's focusing on non-essential luxury (ballroom) while people's livelihoods are at risk, it comes off as TONE DEAF.

For fed workers, contractors & anyone dependent on a paycheck from the gov. this sucks. They're showing up or they're locked out, bills still pile up, but no pay.

If the GOP really did erase that speech from their official record, it's a textbook case of the Streisand Effect: Attempt to hide it → make it famous.

😆 Now instead of being a one-day floor speech, it's immortalized as "the speech they didn't want you to hear."
