I'm hoping he will decide to take a tour of the bunker and lock himself inside.

We should all start sending 'keys to the bunker' to POTUS

Eventually, Republicans will begin eating each other. It would be better for the rest of us if we could ensure that was sooner rather than later.

How possible is it that a sitting U.S. President will use nuclear devices on U.S. States' cities?
How far gone are we that this is a reasonable question to ask?

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

I also think that we should be at war .. a full-fledged civil war .. with the MAGAts.
Am I that certain that progressives are right and MAGAts are wrong?
No, I'm not.
But I'm certain I know which political system I want me and my loved ones to survive in.

I have no sympathy nor regret for today's action at the Utah rally.
He has said it himself - live by the sword, die by the sword (in so many words).
I still think that murder is wrong - even in our current situation.

I think that Drumpf is fascist by action but largely unintentionally. Vance is fascist intentionally. If Vance becomes POTUS and Drumpf cronies support him, he will overreach and the military will have to remove him for cause. If the cronies don't support him, then it all dissolves into infighting.

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks

average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Washington state from enforcing a law that would have required priests to report evidence of child abuse learned during confession.

The Trump administration had intervened on the side of the Catholic clergy.

You can't "fix" a government that believes that people shouldn't self-govern.

I donโ€™t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make whatโ€™s happening now look like childโ€™s play. And people are disappearing.

This is amazing, letโ€™s go! Blue states are fighting back against Trumpโ€™s threats to withhold funding by introducing bills that give the federal government a taste of its own medicine.

Basically, Americans agree that Trump's secret police organized as ICE are essentially like the German Geheime Staatspolizei or Gestapo. But for Republicans, this is something positive.

I endorse this approach. Indeed, it's obvious. Start just by playing Noem's remarks before her security goons punched out Sen Padilla.
