Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

I have a renewed respect for the ancients who were able to live full, productive and creative lives before the advent of electricity. After 18-hours in the dark across the entire Iberian Peninsula, modernity has returned...and with it, sanity, connectivity and hot coffee. #apagΓ³n #spainblackout2025

It's easy to compare 47, who went golfing on our dime while the country tanked to Nero who fiddled while Rome burned. Nero actually was at his villa and returned to help Rome by setting up relief efforts - and the fiddle wasn't even invented yet. So 47 'trumps' Nero, and that's pretty bad.

One J6 Rioter Says Trumpers Are In A Cult. She’s Right ― Here’s How I Know. "After college, when I began to tell new friends about my upbringing, I realized it wasn’t just a 'strange community,' it was what I now believe to be a cult."

MAGA is the biggest cult of personality since Islam and Christianity. Ever try to reason with a zealot about science, free will or diversity? Remember it was a 30-30-30 divide: him, her or didn't vote at all. Read your history...before they ban those books too.

80K+ JFK classified/unredacted documents being released but the orange cult leader will still likely and incoherently tie in the JFK assassination to Obama...or vaccines...or immigrants...or drag queens, and his idiot MAGA cult followers will support it.

Mysterious Ides of March: Crazy Historical Parallels and Emperor Trump
YouTube video by Fringe Field Notes Mysterious Ides of March: Crazy Historical Parallels and Emperor Trump

Beware the Ides of March! The parallels to today are pretty uncanny...more than just the anniversary of the assassination of Julius Caesar, or how I commonly refer to him, my husband's direct ancestor (67 generations)'s wife's uncle. #idesofmarch

True, neither are the central African countries. Nicaragua? So much is happening behind closed doors and the sad part, they’ve conditioned so much of the public to distrust anything reported. Right out of the playbook of β€œHow to Succeed in Tyranny Without Really Trying.”

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

This is horribly disturbing but I guess Donald J. Krasnov under the stern leadership of Presidents Putin and Musk, shouldn’t surprise anyone. If you think a video of a golden shower was bad, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Partichik since 1987.

Jane Fonda defends 'woke' in speech criticizing Trump Jane Fonda called Donald Trump a 'traumatized person'Β in a speech that did everything but mention him by name while accepting the SAG Awards' Life Achievement prize.

"Practicing empathy is not weak or woke....woke just means you give a damn about other people."

Republican addresses transgender congresswoman as 'the gentleman' Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller said she 'refused to deny biological reality' by addressing Sarah McBride as 'the gentleman from Delaware' on the floor of the House Thursday.

This is just another example of why the MAGA party is just filled with mean, nasty and just shitty people. #youmadeyourbed

FEMA Seizes $80 Million in Approved Funding for N.Y.C. Migrant Shelters The comptroller’s office, which first noticed the missing money, said that the federal agency had unilaterally taken the funds from the city’s accounts.

Elon Musk stole $80.5 million in FEMA funds from New Yorkers, but Mayor Adams won't fight back because he's beholden to Trump.

I'm already fighting backβ€”and when I'm Mayor, you can count on me to stand up to Trump and Musk every single day.

I can’t pretend to be a fan of Kendrick Lamar, but the halftime show was brilliant. The outpouring of hate only spotlights a racist society but now, hate is supported and rewarded by the regime.

YouTube video by Ty Turner existing as a trans american right now & the impact it's having on my life

Heartbreaking that trans people's passports cannot be renewed - or maybe used in some places. 20 million Americans DIDN'T vote at all and who knows how many votes weren't counted because Starlink crunched numbers. The difference would've made a difference.

Show me your friends and associates and I’ll tell you what you are. If the US is so far gone to not even recognize their own path to destruction, ya know…maybe whatever happens is deserved.

"On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder is something everyone should read...especially now. Written in 2017, it is even more relevant now. If you take away anything..."the biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights," Investigate, stay aware, and keep cool.

You've got a lot to learn but looking at your profile, if it doesn't come from a felon president's mouth...or his sycophants, it's fake, untrue, liberal, snowflake...whatever. You wear troll very well though.
