In case you lack context for this image... It's making fun of the fact he forced these guys to wear the same shoes as him. No idea why, but that's the story, so someone put them all in clown shoes. πŸ˜‚

Oust him straight into a guillotine. Pure evil cannot be rehabilitated.

They fired anyone who had any kind of expertise in any of this in favor of zealots and yes-men, so it's gone exactly as badly as expected.

They're also blowing through the entire US weapons stockpile and panicking because they had no foresight for that. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

The rich.

That's all ANY of this is for.

But I'm sure the rich people, who have never had to even enter a grocery store or pump their own gas because they hired people to do that stuff for them, know AAAALLLLL about the real world. πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

Give them just $600 (full time @ natl min wage) and tell them it has to last two weeks.

This is so unbelievable I had to fact check it to make sure it was real. Sadly it is. More distraction from releasing the #EpsteinFiles I’m sure. I’m also sure he actually wants this and thinks he deserves it. To be clear. Americans won’t ever sit at attention when he speaks. #pinks #sheshed /1

The @cato.org institute, a libertarian think tank, is out with a major new research study showing that immigrants, both legal and illegal, contribute significantly more in taxes than they receive in public benefits.

One would think that was obvious enough to not need a study, but I'll take it anyway.

After all, non-citizens don't qualify for most fed benefits anyway, but they still pay taxes in. More taxes than the rich do, but the rich constantly get more bailouts.

That's what happens when you fire the experts in favor of ignorant, triggerhappy yes-men. I would LOVE to watch them destroy themselves, if it didn't mean so many innocent people would die for it. πŸ˜•

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

I can so relate to this.

They're putting kids in cages, so the fact that he was 10 means nothing to them. πŸ˜•

I vote we deport Randy and his entire party because of their sociopathy, xenophobia and dangerous white supremacist ideology. FAR more dangerous than Mamdani.

Sadly, Iran is built for longevity & holding out as long as possible for as cheaply as possible. The US is entirely unprepared for this b/c leadership has zero military, historical, geographical, economical or strategic experience. Bobble-headed yes-men can't strategize their way out of a paper bag.

We can afford healthcare for all
We can afford childcare for all
We can afford education for all
We can afford housing for all
We can afford living wages for all
We can afford green energy for all

We don’t have those things because a handful of evil old men spend that money waging endless war.

Hope you feel better soon. My mental health has been balancing a tightrope lately so I haven't been very active myself. Been focusing on sustainability and resilience projects offline, mostly. Oh, but I DID finally find a local protest group to join! ✊
