Now that the midterms are upon us, it's tempting to imagine the sweet scent of Freedom once again. But, friends, better people than I have cautioned the project to free America from extreme maga-ism is just getting started.
I suppose I am not the only one who has a severe case of cognitive dissonance when trump gets up in front of a microphone to tell people that the United States observes freedom of speech, assembly, and religion. Those are the very things he is trying to destroy!
trump emphatically does NOT support the ideals of free speech and assembly, the right to protest, the freedom of religion. We know that. For him to stand at a lectern, parroting someone else's words, claiming he is proud of our rights is revolting. He's the one destroying all rights and freedoms.
The persecution of the Olympian charged with ripping up a section of the reflecting pool is another humiliating outrage - humiliating to trump for its deranged middle-school pettiness, as recognizable as his signature on Epstein's 50th birthday card. Pirro is as bad. This president:
trump's desperate use of the Big Lie that he won the 2020 election is a sickening, well debunked testimonial to how sick the old geezer is, physically, morally, intellectually, and spiritually. Bankrupt to the core. *Podrido* 8647
I can't get over how...(lying?) (pretending?) (hypocritical) trump is as he treated us to vitriolic diatribes laced with lies about how the US guarantees, or even has, values such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion...he's the one crushing all those freedoms. It is pure hypocrisy, performance.
When we first were exposed to Steven Miller, one of the puppet-masters of trump and MAGA, he was like a new disease. We hadn't been exposed to it, and it made us very ill (or worse). Now we have resistance and are determined to build a better America on the ashes of his toxic ideology. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
As the K-shaped economy continues to show wider and wider disparity between the "few" (haves) and the "many" (have-nots), democratic socialism will seem more and more of an antidote to corporate fascism.
Not only is trump an imbecile all his advisers are guilty of telling the emperor that his new clothes look beautiful, although anybody can see he's naked and disgusting.
I am Antifa. So were our grandparents and great-grandparents, who saved the world from fascism in WWII. If they were alive today, they would be rolling over in their graves. Why am I antifa? Because I love my country, the United States of America. DUMP TRUMP
I don't know how they will try to do this, but this DOJ is apparently serious abo0ut fighting "Antifa." If they understood what they are saying, they are calling themselves, accurately, FASCISTS. and corrupt from trump on down.
Leave your Microsoft problems aside and join us in the freedom of Linux. It's free, flexible, fun, and easy to use. It has everything Microsoft has, only it's better written and maintained. Updates are near daily and can be turned on or off according to your preference. Security situation, better.
Therefore, it all has to be discarded, not as lies, but as garbage, worth *nothing*. This applies to everything they say. trump is a perfect exemplar of this behavior. Nothing can be taken as true. It's ALL garbage. Don't even waste your time listening or trying to decipher his mendacity.
Shout out to @TaylorIndiana on X.com, who posted this photo of new DHS/ICE boss, cowering on January 6 as MAGA rioters try to hang the Vice President, injure and kill police officers and overthrow the US Government.
I wonder what repuglicans mean when they say they are about less government spending and rail against state-sponsored charity projects.
I coudn't go to bed tonight without expressing my gratitude to the righteous, upstanding folks who will be protesting against trump's concentration camps. Rachel Maddow of MS NOW reports tonight that the protests are primarily to be held in the locations of these camps. Mazel tov and thank you.
I've been a Linux guy for years. My sign-in ends with a fortune cookie. Today's was this: "Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation." -- Johnny Hart"
In the Soviet era, the two big Russian newspapers were called "The Truth" ("Pravda"), and "The News" ("Izvestia"). That gave rise to a Russian saying, true then as now, including now in the US: "There is no truth in the news, and no news in the truth." A utopia for the New Right:
Those culpable for not removing trump from the presidency ought to consider what is to prevent trump from flipping out and ordering a nuclear strike against Teheran, or Kiev, or Brussels, or Minneapolis. He's slipping so fast, no one can honestly deny the possibility.
trump has proposed a $1.5 TRILLION Budget for next fiscal year (2027), that increases military spending by 42% while further slashing programs designed to help regular people. He and Vought, architect of Project ("I know nothing about it") 2025. Full Article: www.commondreams.org/news/trump-2...
Iran's mullahs are a curse on the world. The Iranian people must be empowered. But trump isn't interested in people, Iranian or American. Agent Krasnov and his Special Military Operation in Iran are being conducted in imitation of his idol Putin, brutalizing civilians. Threatening infrastructure now
Good morning. In times like these, it is well to remember where the current chaos had its genesis. Also, a reminder from the US Constitution, Amendment 14, Section 3.
It is time to recall that tens of thousands of our neighbors and fellow human beings are being held in concentration camps in the US. It was shocking when we first learned about the horrific, inhumane conditions that these people are facing. It's getting worse. OPPOSE TRUMPS CONCENTRATION CAMPS!
Let's not forget, this "person" is a proven mass murderer, having taken the lives of over 100 human beings in the Caribbean, near Venezuela. And yes, I have one F*CK of a case of trump Derangement Syndrome.
It's not-my-president-s-day. Remember how he "won" the election in 2020? Who could fail to love these happy-go-lucky violent criminals? They just want to be how trump is, and in that they were successful.
Marco Rubio says European countries should reassert national sovereignty. If they do, they will have to reject Rubio's interference in their national affairs. The US (currently) has no respect for their sovereignty. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇦
The clip below is from Alternet, January 22, 2026. Die-hard MAGA cultists, thirsty for blood and revenge for imagined, made-up slights, will get their worthy reward for their worship of their false messiah, trump and his Repug a**-lickers. They'll receive what his policies are worth: NOTHING
I am not at all surprised that the orange psycho says that Ukraine is the obstacle to peace. According to Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, the Hon. Karin Immergut, insightfully noted that his ideas are "UNTETHERED TO REALITY." She was being polite.
