Even if you thought your intentions were noble, when you lay with shit, you get shitty. And you know this—nobody pelting you here is saying anything you didn’t know & ignore. And that’s why they’re deeply disappointed in you. We’re in this mess because too many people who know better sit on their dignity as silent props for a madman as he babbles thru his lies & corruption d’jour. That this crook covered one topic you care about in exchange for your obsequiousness does not justify any go-along-to-get-along. You had a chance to say & do more, and instead you let him use you. Signaling the boundaries of your integrity was a choice. This country needs leaders in & out of government who are better than that. Always, without transactional days off.

Deleted the last post because I decided cursing didn’t make my point. It hurt it. And I rarely care about cursing.

Rep. Maria Salazar: "It's in the hands of two entities. God the Father, and Donald Trump. The Lord saved him. The Lord wanted him back in the Oval Office."

Remember that $10B lawsuit Trump filed against the IRS over his tax returns leaking? He’s 'dropping' it in exchange for a taxpayer-funded slush fund so he can pay off his political allies and friends. You're being robbed.

Welker on Iran war: Is it worth losing the midterms? Lindsey Graham: It’s worth losing my job.

The great American tragedy is in yellow. It's called ignorance and apathy.

Trump: Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States all combined. That's a pretty big statement.

What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

#BREAKING: Morning Joe: “…I’ve got to say what’s so maddening is…I had certain unnamed media people who OBSESSED for YEARS over whether Hunter Biden flew on Air Force Two with Joe Biden to China to meet a businessperson for fifteen minutes, Hunter Biden who is a piker compared to these Trump family members when you look at the BILLIONS of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars that they are making, it’s just fascinating. Again, they just do it openly, and these same people who literally obsessed for three years over what happened on that Air Force Two plane trip would say NOTHING about this.”🤦‍♀️

Rev. Willie “Bo” Barber II, Prospect AME Church: We need for Americans, regardless of your ethnicity, regardless of party, regardless of opinion, it's time for Americans to stand up and say, “I love my democracy, and I want to keep it, and whoever's getting in the way of that is the problem, not the solution.”

So the GOP/Supreme Court say that Voting Rights Act protections are no longer necessary, because racism is no longer a problem, then the GOP uses the ruling to eliminate as many Black members of congress as possible. But again, racism is no longer a problem.

not to alarm anyone but is anyone else worried about how fucking stupid everyone is ?

I’m old enough to remember when the Strait of Hormuz was open.

The guy who told us he’d fix everything on day 1 is still blaming Biden on day 470.

Notice how all the blue states that are redrawing their maps are putting it to a statewide vote while Republicans push it through without considering their constituents? We are not the same.

This is a good reminder that John Roberts is exactly who John Lewis told us he was.

TRUMP: "We need $2 billion a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz." 🇺🇸US Senator: "Wait, wasn't the Strait of Hormuz already open before the war? Then why did we start the war? You created a crisis out of thin air for no reason."

The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting is getting far more coverage than a school shooting. That is both sad and pathetic.

"Since announcing his candidacy in 2016...Trump has sent 1,339 tweets about the media that were critical, insinuating, condemning, or threatening. ... Trump has tweeted over 5,400 times to his more than 55.8 million followers; over 11 percent of these insulted or criticized journalists and outlets, or condemned and denigrated the news media.."

Rep. @Jamie_Raskin: I heard Trump talk about this demonstrating the importance of the new ballroom. That might help people visiting the White House, but what about people in shopping malls, in movie theaters, in high schools, and elementary schools across the country?

So to recap—at the mere mention that a shooter was in the building: -Erika Kirk left bawling that she wants to go home -Stephen Miller was photographed hiding behind his pregnant wife (human shield?) -The literal FBI director Kash Patel sat frozen in fear & didn't move a muscle -Trump fell down while running away, despite several agents holding him up But they expect our children to survive hundreds of school shootings annually and go on like nothing happened. The math aint mathin.
