I want a job where I only have to put in 12 days of work in 103 days - and still receive full pay and benefits. Oh wait, maybe I should have run for House of Representatives…

In case you’re wondering what the noises are from underground, it’s not tectonic plates, it’s Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Howard K. Smith, Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, Edward R. Murrow and so many others, spinning in their graves at the appointment of Bari Weiss as Editor-in-chief of CBS news

If Trump’s rationalization for sending National Guard troops to US cities is to protect government facilities, then shouldn’t they now be protecting the White House?

How is it that Trump can claim to love America when he clearly can’t stand Americans?

It breaks my heart to think that somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is in hiding, writing in her diary 😔

This has to be one of my favorite signs from today’s No Kings protest

“No Kings” protests are not “We Hate America” rallies, they are “We Hate What America is Becoming” protests

Does anyone else feel relieved when you realize that the weird noises in your house are just the ghost that lives there and not the sounds your HVAC system makes before it has to be replaced?

Agreed that this is absolutely the most corrupt administration and congress in US history- and we’ve had some seriously bad ones!

I absolutely love that the President of FIFA just told Trump to F-off 😂

Even though I would love to point the finger at his incompetent ass, there is a
no proven connection between Trump's handling of classified documents and the CIA's warning about compromised informants in October 2021.

This is for all those who are are enabling the corruption and flagrant abuse of power by this administration either willingly or with their silence:

Any MAGAs out there remember the 2018–19 shutdown, which at 35 days was the nation’s longest—due to Trump’s tantrum over funding the border wall, a 450-mile long monument to a real-estate nepo baby’s vanity that’s mostly produced environmental damage? I thought not.

Did you know that if you conducted a mental health assessment on a large corporation that, based on their typical behaviors, they would be classified as sociopaths? Explains a lot…

Border czar Tom Homan is incredibly incompetent - he can’t even stop the illegal immigration of $50 K into his pocket 😆

What is the response of this administration to the death of Charlie Kirk, their so-called “champion of free speech”? A promise of retribution to silence anyone who dares to criticize them. Rules for thee, but not for me 😞

Trump claims “hundreds of governors” have been calling him for National Guard help. Last time i checked, there were only 50 governors. Would love to know the names and locations of all those extra states - had no idea they existed lol.

So will Trump send the National Guard into Utah to protect the public from the out of control “crime and lawlessness”? We all know that answer to that question…

I guess flags are only flown at half mast for Republicans now. Where was this MAGA outrage for the Hortmans? Political violence should be condemned regardless of political affiliation 😔

Back from 2 weeks in the UK and Ireland- number 1 reaction from everyone we met was, “What the hell is going on over there?!” They truly are concerned about Trump’s mental state. Ditto

So remind me again why it was not necessary to call out the National Guard on January 1st when Trump supporters were attacking the Capitol, but it is now?

All dictators fear laughter - authoritarian types are ego-driven and hate being mocked. So, Laugh at and Mock those working to undermine democracy. Always Question and Disobey them when you can. Protect those who cannot protect themselves when able. Fascism cannot prosper where empathy exists.
