Who is going to be surprised when Trump/Hegseth order the US military to conduct a nuclear strike on Iran and what will the republican congress and senate do about it?

Only in the US among first-world democracies would the mass killing of 8 Children not be the lead story in a country's mainstream media #massshooting

It’s worth saying, in the wake of Trump’s bizarre and vicious Easter morning tweet, that the Republican Party could have him out of office by the end of the day. This is on his cabinet and every Republican member of Congress.

For those who had any doubt about Trumps fascist ambitions.

And while Trump is formenting domestic and international chaos to take the epstein files out of the news cycle.. Canada’s Carney hails improving ties with China. #Trump #epstein #Canada

When Trump was elected to his first term I expected his narcissism and amorality would burn the GOP to the ground. I did not forsee him burning America to the ground, the destruction of NATO, AUKUS, and relations with Europe, Canada and Mexico.

Is Trump not taking America to a place that the gun lobby has used to rationalize an individuals 2nd amendment rights as protection against a tyrannical government? #trump

Mike Johnson and John Thune are now too late to mitigate the damage Trump has done to America. Like Nero, they have stood aside and allowed the catastrophic policies and lawless actions of Trump to go forward with impunity while they stand dumbstruck like the impotent men they are. #Greenland

My late 20s son suffered a debilitating brain injury 5 years ago leaving him a vision impared and tetraplegic. In rehehab he set himself 3 big goals. To walk, to finish university and to get a job. He has acheived all 3 as of this week. I marvel at his courage, and could not be more proud of him.

😁

In 1945 and America played a leading role in executing Germans who "were just following orders". O How America has changed

Where was the NAGA outrage at political violence when Melissa Hortman and her Husband were assassinated?

Does anyone else notice how the Kirk killing took the Epstein files off the front pages?

7 months in and the Trump regime is chaos. The only question is whether the chaos is deliberate.

The extraordinary lengths the Trump DOJ is going to cover up for Trump over Epstein suggests that not only is Trump mentioned (in its self unsurprising given the photos of the 2 together) but that the information and context is extremely damaging to Trump.

There’s a reason 47 once said he loves the “poorly educated!” Exhibit A!

Of Trumps 12 banned countries. Iran has qualified for the FIFA world cup. Creates a conundrum for FIFA and the US especially given the possible state of war that the counties may be in.

This appears to be a deliberate act of shooting a foreign reporter with a rubber bullet. www.youtube.com/shorts/Rw3b4...

What type of depravity does it take to deploy Homeland security agents against elementary school children. What sickens me to my core is these decision makers claim to be Christian while they attack and scare these little kids. Think for a moment how your 6 -10 year old may react.

Ernst needs to resign. That she is happy for her low income constituents to die to secure tax cuts for the rich is mind-numbingly evil.

There are reasons why America has lower life expectancy, higher maternal and infant mortality rates than other developed countries. Politicians like Dan Crenshaw actively promoting the denial of health care for the poor is one of them. Employment should not be a pre condition to seeing a doctor.

5 NATO Partners have issues travel advisories warning travel to the USA is unsafe because of what the Trump administration is doing.

If the average net HH income is $66,622 pa. A 4,700 tariff tax is a 7% reduction in average HH Income without factoring job losses, business closures and the impact on Tourism and agriciulture. MAGAnomics at work

Trump puts tariffs on, the markets crash, pauses tariffs the markets go up. Yet he is too fucking stupid to to figure out tariffs are the problem

When you elect a President with a pathological inability to admit he is wrong, who makes a monumental fuck up destroying the economy, retirement savings and jobs, we look to a republican led Senate and House who have been emasculated by fear of being primaried, the outcome is simple. We're fucked.

Trump's principal 2 April achievement is to unite the rest of the world with the common goal or working on trade partnerships that exclude the United States

Auto tariffs are devastating for the US car industry. As US cars price thenselves out of export markets and face devastating domestic price rises, Japan S Korea china and europe will quickly fill the US export markets which the US may never get back

So far Trump has threatened to annex Canada, invade Greenland, commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza. His sidekick Musk has insulted world leaders, comitted illegal purges of government agencies. His idiot VP has managed to piss off the entire European union. And Chuck Schumer thinks he has a plan

To the rich donors that backed Trump because of lower taxes and the economy. How's that working out for you?

@loadie.bsky.social is right. This song by Marlon Williams and Lorde is "fucking gorgeous". Well worth 5 minutes of your day

apnews.com/article/gove... Democrats should call their bluff. They cannot do any more damage than Trump and Musk. In doing do they need to run a campaign on the Trump scams and economic damage being done.

Trump has sold himself as the great negotiator. He is not a negotiator and never has been. He is a bully and when bullying does not work, chaos ensues. You saw the perfect example in the Whitehouse when Zelensky refused to bend the knee.

Rubio had presidential ambitions, was humiliated, belittled, and abused by Trump, eventually withdrawing from the race. Only Rubio knows what motivated him to take on the hospital pass of being Trump's secretary of state, but he sat in that room looking remarkably like a victim of long-term abuse.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Ronald Reagan sucessfully broke down the Soviet Union Bloc culminating with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In recent times the only world leader that wants to reconstitute the Soviet Union Bloc has been Putin. Now he appears to have the unwavering support of Trump Vance and Rubio to do so.

Can we now acknowledge that this Trump administration in a complete cluster ........ that may take decades to recover from.

Hard to argue with the premis.

The implications of Trump@ cosying up to Russia while attacking NATO should scare every american when the implications are thought through. The US and Russia form a frightening alliance against European nations and the west. They are discussing the division of Ukraine. Which Euro nation is next?

Is Musk syphoning money from the Treasury payments system. If he says he is not, how would you know?

Why are republicans so irrationally affraid of women and people of color?

The gov spends $B's on cyber security to stop hackers. To save time Trump lets Musk's team of computer kids in the front door with the access codes. They now have complete access to your personal data, social security number and bank account number. Un fucking believable breach of trust.

Question for Marco Rubio, what countries are safe from Trumps imperialist ambitions. Panama, Greenland, Canada. What happens when Trumps reds under the bed mentality starts knocking on the door of the Philipines, Australia, New Zealand etc.

Trump's handling of his first post inauguration tragedy has been a predictable mix of outright lies, false accusations and utter absence of empathy. His narcissism on full volume.
