Donald Trump wants a drone port and a bunker fortress and a snipers nest because he doesn’t plan on leaving and wants to use military weapons on Democratic protestors.

β€œSo many people came out to see me in Alabama last night. The Fire Marshall threatened to shut the rally down because we were so bigly over capacity. And I was told that there were over 300,000 outside, crying because they couldn’t get in to hear me. We could hear them all crying from inside. Sad.”

Overheard Trump's voice (as I clicked to make it go away) saying that where he goes to campaign they win and where he doesn't they don't, and I realized that's part of why he's campaigning in safe red districts. He wants credit for the wins and no blame for losses. It's about his ego, not the party.

Agreed, but I'd like to add that he's also a bloated, rotting, brain-dead, walking corpse with the emotional maturity of a toddler and the intelligence of a rock.

Since apparently we’re not doing Guillotines For A Better America, will you please just vote out those who deserve the guillotine and leave their donors, who also deserve the guillotine, with nowhere to spend their money except paying their taxes and their employees a living wage?

If the UAE is really threatening billions over Manchester City, that’s exactly the kind of political influence that demands scrutiny. When wealth and power get special access, ordinary people deserve accountability.

In addition, neither Clinton nor Obama ever tweeted with a picture of themselves in military uniform. Trump cheating to get a deferment is one thing; Trump pretending to have served is even worse.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democra.... #USpol #USA In Australia we can eat and drink whilst in line on election day. In fact because our elections are compulsory and held on a Saturday, School halls are used as polling Stations. Schools fundraise by selling food and drink. We celebrate our Democracy.

Holy shit, I can’t even imagine the fury if PM Carney wins TIME’s Person of the Year & a Nobel Peace Prize. The Wrath of Con will be felt around the world. #FuckTheFelon

all trump had to do is sit back and relax and pretend like the recovery he inherited from biden was all his doing. instead he did tariffs and war and like reagan and bush before him, he fucked over the economy. it is the republican way.

The reason that all this happened is because too many Americans thinks it’s cool and funny to be ignorant assholes. It’s not funny.

Republicans being Republicans. [Spoiler Alert]: Nixon did NOT get a raw deal. He got off Scot free with a pardon while his cronies took the fall and went to prison. I'm old enough to remember Watergate.

This was such a great book! My favorite quote is β€œWe can have billionaires, or we can have democracy. We cannot have both.” It’s the call to action.
