The circular firing squad must be maintained at all times and at all costs. Step 1: Bitch incessantly that the Dems are not doing X. Step 2: Watch the Dems finally start trying to do X. Step 3: Undermine and ridicule it mercilessly so it flops and can't get off the ground. Step 4: Return to Step 1.

Be mad about the budget deal but don’t get misdirected. These are no win situations for Dems. They are not causing the chaos and can’t stop it. They would also get the total blame for the shutdown. Rules are different for Dems. If the country gave them more power there would have been more options.

This was always the plan. In many ways they are more dangerous but they don’t have the will of the people behind them. They will fail, hopefully.

As diligently as Trump is implementing every facet of Project 2025, there's some fine print he might have glossed over. Once it's all in place, they don't need him anymore. A compliant Vance waits in the wings, prepped by Musk/Thiel and ready to complete the transition to an oligarchy.

Obama was against gay marriage in 2008 and I still voted for him! Should we have not elected Obama bc of his conservative views on marriage? He ended being great for the LGBTQ community even before coming around on marriage. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good 💙💙💙

30 years ago, America promised to defend Ukraine -- in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nukes and its Black Sea fleet America is now breaking those promises So for every nuke and ship Ukraine gave up, the US should be forced to compensate them with a new one Fair is fair

The American people did not vote to make Putin our leader.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

The Media and everyone really should be forcing Trump to justify Putin’s killing of civilians. Constantly juxtapose Trump’s words with the murder of civilians by Putin. These Trump and Putin actions will no doubt overlap and they need to be reported on contemporaneously.

Nobody can save us, but us. That's the hard truth people don't want to hear. "The Democrats" can't swoop in with magic powers.They don't have magic powers. If you're relying on someone else to save the country, you're fucked.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

Biden: "Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power ... the truth is smothered by lies."

Where are the WWIII concern trolls now?

Dear Joe, I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act. So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now. ~ Everyone

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

We must remember that Trump enters office as a lame duck. He’ll have a 1 vote margin in the House to play with for a time and his cabinet picks are so awful their nominations are in doubt despite a good majority in the Senate. Let’s mock him and avoid making him seem like an invincible boogeyman.

And many of those voting for Trump support the #metoo movement which took such a setback with this election. Why?

I get that women aren't a monolith. And that 53% of white women chose the rapist, which will confound me until the day I die. But ladies, if you don't organize and hold the line they'll roll back everything you've fought for...and even the things you've taken for granted.

Oh my. Steven Symes wants to know “…what will happen to the vehicles now that the man has fled to Moscow? Will they be returned to him, sold, or kept by the rebel forces?” Cars he stole and could never ride down the street. Yeah let’s ship them to him ASAP. Sheesh www.yahoo.com/autos/video-...

It’s official. Homs is taken. The statue of Hafez al-Assad, the father and predecessor to Assad, is toppled. The crowd shout “FREEDOM, FOREVER!” Assad is finished. #Syria 🇸🇾

Nate Silver is certainly nailing his colours to the mast. He’s calling on people not to vote for any Democrats in 2028 who don’t repudiate Biden’s pardon “within 48 hours”. Previously: don’t vote for any candidate who’s a felon? Nope. Don’t vote for anyone who facilitated an insurrection? Still no.
