Democracies don't end with a bang. They are slowly chipped away at until they become something else. Don't be fooled into thinking it can't happen here.

His solution to the affordability problem is to tell everyone that it's not actually a problem. Our draining bank accounts are fake news.

Yeah they don't have a problem with all the suffering they're causing. They just don't like that it may hurt them politically.

Republicans like nothing more than creating problems and acting like they're the only ones that can fix them.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

1. Start war and tell the country it was necessary because we're under imminent threat.

2. Steer lucrative defense contracts to your rich buddies in exchange for political donations.

3. Use donations to win elections.

4. Repeat.

He just changes a few words and country names and releases the same comment every time he starts a new conflict. It's like Mad Libs for dictators.

The costs of supporting Israel’s war on Iran:

- Dead American soldiers
- Dead elementary schoolgirls
- Over $1 Billion/day for combat ops
- Soaring gas prices
- Tanking markets
- Betrayed GCC allies
- Another constitutional crisis

…and growing.

Yeah I don't think any one thing is planned to distract from another thing. They just want to overwhelm us with so much bullshit that we can't keep up with any of it. It's the firehose of autocracy.

Funny how he says "we", as if Congress hasn't abdicated all their decision making powers to one man. He has no clue what's gonna happen. His job is to support whatever does happen.

Active duty military members should take note of how poorly they treat military vets before they agree to follow any illegal orders. They'll be tossed aside, or worse, as soon as they no longer serve them any purpose.

In one month it'll cost the same as it would've cost to extend the ACA subsidies for an entire year.

Republicans are realizing that they cannot survive in a world without war because it means they're unable to give lucrative defense contracts to their rich buddies in exchange for political donations.

I think if they were actually planning to do all these things they wouldn't be telegraphing the plans 8 months in advance and giving everyone time to come up with ways to fight back. They would keep it silent and just pounce on election day.

Yep. He issued a similar executive order almost a year ago and it's been pretty much laughed out of the courts. People need to stop with their "all hope is lost" bullshit.

Good to see that young people are realizing that the entirety of their adult lives has been dominated by an attention-seeking narcissist who would gladly destroy their future if it helped him succeed today.
