Trump’s crimes include (but aren’t limited to):
Sexual assault (Epstein), Racketeering/fraud (Crypto), mishandling of classified documents, lying under oath, and so many more

This doesn’t even include the additional 34 felony counts. He belongs behind bars for the rest of his life, full stop.

So one Trump shill endorses another?

One sycophant too afraid to say no for fear of his political career endorsing another?

These cowards have no place in American politics. Let’s make sure they know we don’t accept that behavior.

Vote Zohran!

Mike Johnson seems to use the same cue cards for every interview:
β€œSorry, I don’t know anything about that.”
β€œThe president likes to use humor…we have a good time.”

There. Saved you hours of watching Mike Johnson’s responses on items.

Trump remembered the saying β€œThe House always wins” and stole the house.

The problem is it isn’t the first time, and Trump Casinos didn’t exactly flourish…

Sadly, as president he feels he has the authority to do all these things consequence free. I would love to get a rap sheet of all his offenses, have him tried, and face criminal charges.

Vance is consistent in only a few things:
- Denying the truth
- Getting angry when the big evil plot doesn’t work
- Calling liberal memes a danger while conservative memes are just joking around
- Being Trump’s on-demand sycophant

β€œAnd any money I get I would give to charity” is an awfully deceptive way to say β€œI’m donating it to a Trump-owned charity and funneling it into my own profits indirectly.”

Because the GOP owns the media: they’re afraid if they call out Trump for the especially egregious stuff, the voters will realize that the more hidden egregious stuff that they’ve been up to is also wrong.

So, like Icarus, they’ll fly too close to the sun and soon find they are a dead party.

I dream of a world where this is just some fever dream of some retiree in a nursing home.
β€œWHY IF I WAS PRESIDENT I’D JUST ARREST THEM ALL!”
β€œShut up and take your meds, Donald! You’re cranky when you don’t nap!”

But frankly a prison cell suits him better.

On the one hand, I agree.

On the other hand, converting it into an exhibit on fighting fascism, racism, and America’s history of internment camps may hit the point home a little better.

This is awful, and should be noted.

However, it’s also a very expensive distraction from something specific…something that he feels is worth the price of a ballroom and the cost of history…

But what?

When he posted a photo of himself with a red lightsaber, I assumed he just didn’t understand the source material.

Now that he’s cheering on someone he’s calling β€œDarth Vader,” I’m pretty sure he just thought the Empire were the good guys.

So I guess we’ll just have to show him what Rebels do best.

If it would drive the point home, I would gladly say I am Anti-Anti-Antifa. But the fact is that these morons just want an excuse to be Nazis and not be called out on it.

The problem is, if it smells like one, it sounds like one, and it acts like one…well it just might be one.

As I observe these politicians spinning the news to fit propaganda, I am reminded that fascist regimes are usually short-lived, but always temporary, regardless.

True that living through it is challenging, but those sycophants will be remembered when it’s all done.

It’s almost as though anything associated with siding with Trump requires a barrage of lies. And the right calls us the delusional ones…

This is why Unions are needed.

The billionaires see us as labor to achieve their dreams without lifting a finger. But all we are asking for is a fair shot.

Our voices collectively provide that. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

The 40-hr work week was conceived as having 8 hrs work, 8 hrs leisure, and 8 hrs rest 5 days a week.
In the modern American model, most businesses do not pay for (and require) lunch, meaning you are at work for 9 hrs per day (minimum), plus commuting times.

Yet Capitalism asks us to give even more.

I admit that the one upside of having the ballroom is if Trump passes away there, then people can literally dance on his grave.

Not worth the waste, but a silver lining.

On July 16, 2018 in Helsinki, Trump claimed, contrary to the FBI findings, that Russia had not meddled in the 2016 Election.

At the time, it was a huge scandal. Compared to everything Trump has done recently, it pales in comparison. Do not forget, these grievances are not small.

I’m not sure if he got invited to one with Mike Johnson & Co, or if he’s just hoping to get invited to one.

And to be fair, I have no problem with them having orgies, as it’s not my business. I have a problem with them trying to judge the rest of us for literally anything done in the bedroom.

Robert Reich nails it as usual. This isn’t a wild wishlist. This is a list desiring basic human decency and opportunity.

And for the standard Republican response, no one is getting β€œhandouts” here, this just guarantees a reasonable starting line so everyone gets a fair shot.

Trump released an AI meme of him flying over protests and s****ing on them.

Almost like clockwork, the left asks why the hypocrisy, and the right claims it was a joke/freedom of speech.

It isn’t like the pattern is changing, everyone. It’s the same thing again and again.

Investments in early learning and affordable child care.

Largest investment in public schools in state history.

Free school meals.

Nation-leading Child Tax Credit.

Paid leave.

Our mission from day one has been clear. Today we rank as a top state for children.

That’s not irony. That’s the point.

No Kings was astoundingly successful, and to discount that would be folly.

My understanding is that it was 2% of the voting population.

Studies have shown that a successful nonviolent resistance needs 3.5% to turn the tide.

That’s not discouragement. That’s saying we are almost there. NO KINGS!

Trump is on his last legs

He is doing his best to spin his giveaway to Argentina and distract from Epstein, while fighting off health crisis after health crisis, both physical and mental.

No matter how I look at it, he’s not got long left. The only question is if he’ll finish out his term.

The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular!

So were the signs...
