Those little girls didn't stand a chance!

Screaming in New England. Trans rights are human rights. Shouldn't have to say it! Welcome immigrants. They make us better. Support Ukraine. The president is a lazy, addled, delusional madman. He can't be gone soon enough.
Those little girls didn't stand a chance!
I donβt think that people have really absorbed the consequences of the death of a global order.
When my colleague David Bier at a Senate hearing yesterday defended his statement that DHS has promoted ethnic cleansing, some conservatives reacted with anger. But Stephen Miller's deportation plan does indeed fit the description of ethnic cleansing, argues Kyle Varner at @theunpopulist.net. /1
Trump causes so much chaos here at home and through out the world, that--as Andrew Egger of The Bulwalk says--it's easy to lose sight of just how stupid the man is!
if i were running dem party comms, all our people would today be talking about the president having a dance party while our soldiers are being shot at while gas prices go through the roof
Mail order prescription costs have gone up 500% under the pedophile fΓΌhrer β but at least the billionaire Epstein class got the their tax cuts. π
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that donβt fit because theyβre scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
I feel like we sort of collectively under-reacted to a US state revoking the IDs of an entire class of people overnight.
That is literal nazi shit
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But Iβm not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
Borderline Personality Trump and the Uses of Press Myopia talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/borde...
In 2019 Rutger Bregman famously went to Davos and called out the Epstein Class; "Just stop talking about philanthropy and start talking about taxes, taxes, taxes. All the rest is bullshit."
He just made a video explaining why calling the Trump regime "Fascist" isn't just accurate, it's necessary.
They're spending the median annual income of an American family every 7.5 SECONDS, 24 hours a day, every day.
Just to kill Iranians and make Trump feel like a tough guy.
I bet Trump would LOVE to nuke Tehran (or someone else) just to feel manly.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didnβt applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldnβt now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβand those are the ones we know about. Itβs crazy to think about what else will come out after.
Itβs absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
When the fart breaks bad
If the Navy thinks itβs too dangerous to transit, why would unarmed tankers go for it?
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
The response isβ¦.comprehensive.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but Iβm still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning theyβd do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obamaβs name doesnβt appear in the Epstein tapes.
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβand itβs somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
I understand why Putin wants to destroy America, and I can guess why Trump is helping him do it. But I'll never figure out why Congress is letting him get away with it.
That pattern is not obscure. It is not theoretical. It has been documented for nearly a century. Mussolini did not begin with total control; he built toward it. Hitler did not start with absolute authority; he acquired it step by step while critics
