I don't think Putin could handle Trump being the exclusive Grand Poobah For Life 🤣🤣🤣

I find it really interesting that he invited Russia's Putin to this so-called "Board of Peace" but we haven't heard whether or not he accepted, he certainly wasn't at the meeting.

Guessing two malignant narcissists of their magnitude in the same room would be a recipe for disaster.

... Neither of my married daughters had the spare funds to get a passport, so we sent them the money. They've got to be able to vote!!

Real ID doesn't cut it for nearly all states--there's 5 states that qualify under the "documentary proof of citizenship" in the so-called SAVE act. (Most states don't list citizenship, which is the requirement.) Most married women, & legal name changed people need a passport...

Cuz if that all comes out into the light, Putin's kompromat loses all value, and he loses his insane level of influence on foreign governments, including my own American one.

Dunno actually, if what the Polish government (among others) are saying about the whole Epstein thing is true, that it was a massive Russkie honey pot trap, the dominoes may be starting to fall with the arrest of Andrew. He's royal, so can probably testify and stay alive. Security and all.

Same exact problem here in Oklahoma. Over a decade and a half of R supermajority, and we're 50th in education and bottom 10 in pretty much every other metric that matters.

Anyone still claiming to believe him either lives under a rock, or they have an ulterior motive.

Never stop resisting!

In the end, love WILL win!

Yes! Loving our neighbor is what is putting the cracks in the darkness they're trying to surround us with! But they can't, no matter how hard they try. Every outrage brings more school room mothers in bathrobes with whistles and phones out to document!

There's also the perspective that the Polish government (among others) is promoting, that the entire Epstein thing was a Russkie honey pot trap.

If that's true, & it all comes out into the light, Putin won't have such insane sway over foreign governments any longer, incl. our own American one.

The dominoes are starting to fall 😊

Here's the important thing about this arrest, tho. The known body count re: the Epstein scandal was over 2 dozen, last I checked. Random "suicides," accidents, etc. As a royal, Andrew will have better protection. He could name names, tell the story, & stay alive.

Yep, 💯. They enjoy it, for one, and for two they figure it's a deterrent. If brown people know they're going to be gulaged in a miserable concentration camp, they'll think twice about staying in the US.

Which that second point they probably figure will apply to us in the Resistance as well.

In Florida, I'm guessing they do have year round farm labor, but yeah they're delusional if they think we're gonna send our kids to do farm labor instead of to college or trade school or whatever hahaha!

Interesting the difference between how red FL & blue CA have handled the same problem.

We will. Just like we have laws that allow us to seize mafia, gang, and cartel ill-gotten gains when they're convicted under RICO and similar statutes, we'll do the same with this corrupt clown car of incompetents.

I'm not sure the Founders expected us to be *quite* so foolish as to elect a 34x convicted felon (with more on the way,) adjudicated sexual assault perpetrator, corrupt to the core, lying, cheating, philandering, malignant narcissist White "Christian" Nationalist, lol.

To be fair, White "Christian" Nationalism is about as far from the actual teachings of Jesus as one could get.

I love what Talarico said about it on Colbert, essentially that when you mix religion and politics it poisons both.

Thank you for keeping us informed in this...unsettled...period.

Please stay safe. We need you. 🙏

Constitutional revamp is necessary to put more guardrails in place. Clearly our Founding Fathers never envisioned a possibility where we'd be so foolish as to elect a 34x felon and adjudicated sexual assault perpetrator to the presidency, but here we are.

And it must stop.

It'll take a **lot** to get the Senate, given that there just aren't that many seats up for election in the midterms, and most of them are "safe," (like the one in my cherry red state 🙄) but we should be able to get the House and that should at least limit the damage going forward.

We'll fight this. We'll win. And we'll rebuild. This country has survived conflict and tumults and a civil war that ripped her in half and killed hundreds of thousands.

We're not going to let it happen this time. It's gonna take work, faith, determination. But the American Dream is worth it. ✊✊✊

Incredible. ✊✊✊ Art is resistance, too. ✊✊✊

Hey Estonia, can we please borrow Kallas? Please? 🥺 Just for a few years, to fix the disaster that we've managed to elect here in the US. She's exactly the type of leader we need. Strong, articulate, intelligent, progressive, forward thinking, informed, educated... In short, the opposite of 🍊🤡.

Yep. The overgrown orange toddler has done more in just the last year to undermine America, our allies, our currency, our global standing, our trade, our economy, our people (etc etc., list too long to fit) than even we who predicted this could have imagined.

More than one, certainly. Putin has either bought or compromised people in the highest levels of many governments. (Looking sadly at my own American government, compromised from the top down.)

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth orders a halt to offensive cyber operations against Russia Russia has intensified cyber operations against Ukraine and NATO countries, according to previous U.S. intelligence and private sector reports.

It's incredible to me how effective Putin's psychological warfare and propaganda machines are. We were never ready for this, and even less so since ol' Whiskey Pete Kegsbreath told that cyber unit to stand down. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

I named my childhood teddy bear "Rusty Theodore Roosevelt" after this man. At the time I only knew him as the champion of our national parks and wild spaces, but that was enough for little me to recognize him as a role model. Now that I've learned so much more, that admiration has only grown.

Yep, it'll be Jan6 all over again, but this time we'll be ready.

Not to mention that huge percentages of those "arrests" were protesters later released without charges, brown and black people who turned out to be legal, etc. I'd be interested to hear just how many actual undocumented folks and actual felons they arrested.

Yep, it's by design. Women tend to vote Democrat, particularly women of color and working class women.

This is absolutely deliberate.

And we won't let it happen.
