I started off with cat pics and it's gone rapidly down hill from there.

In retrospect we should have reacted much more strongly to people being like β€œyou’re just virtue signaling, you’re just saying you have virtue, you’re just treating virtue like it’s a good thing for an adult human being to have, you just want to run around everywhere having morality and being good”

Before November 2024 I couldn't bring myself to contemplate & publicly articulate what a Trump win would mean. Every scenario that came to mind seemed so outrageously extreme that I worried I'd sound like a hysteric if I said it publicly. Turns out my wildest future tripping underestimated him.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Trump constantly took credit for Biden's record-breaking stock market, yet blames Biden now that his stock market is in free fall.

The really striking thing here is that any normally reasonable person would stop for a reality check here. Is there probably waste and fraud in SS claims? Sure. Is it even remotely plausible that A THIRD of claims are fraudulent, and no internal audit, no OIG review, no GAO analysis noticed?

New Trump party line: Joe Biden got the stock market too high.

Jessie Mahaffey, Survivor of Pearl Harbor Attack, Dies at 102 He was cleaning the deck of the U.S.S. Oklahoma when it capsized under Japanese torpedo fire. Less than a year later, he survived the sinking of another Navy ship in the Pacific.

Jessie Mahaffey, who was scrubbing the deck of the U.S.S. Oklahoma when it was hit by Japanese torpedoes at Pearl Harbor in 1941, and who was among the last living service members who survived the surprise attack, died on March 1 at 102.

This country’s founders knew that β€œtreason” was a claim so vulnerable to abuse that they took the trouble to define it narrowly in the constitution: β€œTreason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” /1

I was sort of willing to let the Dem Senators slide on the cabinet picks early on, but if after the past month and a half they can't behave like a proper opposition in the face of what is a totally corrupt & lawless administration, there's at least 32 who are worse than useless.

Musk's latest is outrageous and clearly false. The whole Social Security program is 21% of the federal budget!

Terrifying to see him lie like this while his DOGE team calls the shots at the Social Security Administration--according to the acting commissioner himself.

The recession is coming, and it will be deep, brutal and long. The GOP is coordinating messaging to distract everyday Americans from the reality that the GOP is creating.
