This speech/rant, as smart as it is satisfying, needs more attention. :)

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Remember when Bill Clinton assigned Hillary Clinton to a healthcare commission, and Republicans lost their minds because she was unelected and had no business poking around in government?

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

What county are you in?

2/2 So I guess I'd just work to make all of those lives easier, happier, less confrontational where possible.
But that's just me, having actually *met* any of those people in the course of a New York life *not* lived entirely in a penthouse decorated like a throne room.
And here we are.

THREAD 1/2: A couple of people I love very much have worked for ICE.
A couple of people I've loved very much were undocumented in this country.
If I were given all the power in all the world, I wouldn't pit them against one another, I would work to make one's job easier and one's life easier.

Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story. President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.

For all of his dystopian rhetoric, by many traditional metrics, the America that Trump will inherit from Biden is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since Bush came into office in 2001. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...

With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for,

NO
I don't remember
I haven't seen anyone
I don't know
Fuck off

Ok, maybe not the last one, but erase your memory

One great country moves forward, while the self-proclaimed "greatest country" takes several steps backward.

It's not rocket science.

Mayor Adams Won’t Criticize Trump. He Will Sit Down With Tucker Carlson. (Gift Article) Mayor Eric Adams of New York City, a Democrat, declined to say anything negative about Donald J. Trump’s early executive orders, saying he would bring any concerns directly to the president.

Time to kick this criminal to the curb.

Biden didn’t pardon Hunter until Trump said he would appoint Kash Patel as head of the FBI.

Kash Patel has openly admitted he would abuse the power of law enforcement to go after Trump’s enemies.

Why doesn’t anybody recognize that the person who is breaking norms and abusing power is TRUMP?

Imagine defending the site that you are actively self-censoring to be able to use.

Yep. We are only weeks into a chaos and controversy-plagued transition for a four year presidency, in which for at least the first two years, a vengeful convicted criminal who has criminal immunity from the Supreme Court controls both chambers of Congress. It’s going to be much worse than we think.

That's what I've been calling myself! :)

To be fair, a worm ate part of his brain. Making him a perfect fit for the unfolding agenda.

Buyers beware.

Quite so.
