The Practical Expat

No patriot of America would ever vote to confirm Hegseth.

PSA to the media: you can do the news without using pictures of him.

Again, no one hates America more than Trump.

If resistance doesn’t start to get ruthless, the destruction will only get worse. You defeat him in two ways: take away the spotlight and seize the money.

"When you constantly expect lies but refuse to accept lies (a critical distinction), you become better at finding the truth. Surviving an autocracy means not only believing that the unfathomable is possible, but that it’s probably happening, so you better start planning for what comes next."

No one hates America or Americans more than Trump.

Surely his awful name is still up there. And no one seems bothered to demand proof that it isn’t. It should surprise no one that our national monuments, parks, museums and historically dedicated buildings are meaningless to a sociopath obsessed with himself. 🤷‍♀️

He is certifiable.

I'm starting to think that the cities should call their bluff and just go ahead and do it. Call it the The Miller Trump Mullin Flight Diversion. You don't have to draw up plans buddy, we did it for you. Go ahead and own the aftermath. And when they beg for the flights to resume, use the leverage.

When I constantly hear that Trump is losing support, that the voters are turning away from him, this map is why I DON’T BELIEVE YOU. Democrats have to stop buying into this narrative & be realistic. Look at this map. Look at who Republicans vote for, they will elect this POS & all the other POS’s.

“…we are intellectually unprepared for a situation in which the leader simply does not care about either the state or the nation.” “…people such as Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and Pete Hegseth…The fact that such people could be considered, let alone appointed, is a marker of superpower suicide.”

The accuracy...

Have been saying this since the beginning!! The people who confirmed all these unserious, ridiculous and intentionally dangerous people - you own the havoc we are in. With an extra badge of shame for Hegseth.

WTAF. How could there be any other news in United States other than invoking the 25th amendment or immediate impeachment. The fact that our Congress, the media and we as citizens are tolerating this is beyond the pale. There are just no words anymore.

BREAKING: Trump Fires Pam Bondi… for Not Being Corrupt Enough. Our authoritarian president wanted Bondi to prosecute his enemies. She tried – and helped cover up the Epstein scandal, too. It wasn’t enough.

Historic levels of insider trading are occurring here,,,and now.

If every top Democrat doesn’t immediately condemn this threat of war crimes and collective punishment, without any ‘process’ BS complaints, then they should be primaried instantly. They’ll be complicit in this crime if they don’t speak out. Tainted forever.

I swear, Anne Applebaum is one of the only people who gets it, even when others interview her, they have trouble grasping/accepting/understanding just how vacuous Trump is.

I’m sorry but this falls on the conscience of every Senator who voted for his confirmation. An absolute embarrassing moral failure…they knew and yet they did it anyway. Cowards. Every single one of them.

What do we even do with this. The global economy hangs in the balance and these people are criminally inept

So the “news” wants to ask the people who confirmed Noem in the first place what their opinion is of her replacement? 🙄 The charade of it all.

"Voter suppression is one of the core tools of authoritarianism. It is how you shift from democracy to autocracy. And for millions of Americans, it’s about to become the norm" www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Until Miller’s gone these are just gestural purges to sanitize and consolidate his reign of terror.

Impeach President Stephen Miller

Or talk about Miller constantly and how much power he has and not Trump. Start referring to him as the “real” President. Like with Elon.

Stephen Miller is a domestic terrorist.

There is no strategy www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Stephen Miller wants the U.S. to exist as isolated, angry, insecure, paranoid and full of grievance because that is his whole life and he knows no other existence and only wishes for everyone to suffer as much as he does from inadequacy. Entirely pathetic.

Time to stop writing articles about the "security" or "economic" reasons to capture Greenland, they are irrelevant

Please everyone stop writing articles about "defense" or "economic" reasons to occupy Greenland, that's all irrelevant

They are who they are & we all know it. But who are WE? Feeling more let down & terrified of what it says about us, that it’s tolerated & treated as legitimate. A sane population would have removed these corrupt, reprehensible & malicious criminals from the people’s house by now. What will it take?

"We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.” We are still in it, but I am taking this energy with me all the way to wherever the road leads.

We’re in a strange limbo where secret police are routinely beating, disappearing, and shooting everyday people in public, but they’ve not yet consolidated enough power to stop us from talking about it on social media. That imbalance prob can’t last. Either we roll them back or this gets rolled up .

Has anyone confirmed what happened to everything that was in the East Wing? Assuming it’s either in the rubble or it has been stolen and shoved in a bathroom in Mar-a-Lago…someone ask President Miller or the transnational crime syndicate posing as a government.

This looks like the end of every catastrophic natural disaster movie.

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons. snyder.substack.com/p/hegseth-pu...

Exactly this

All America had to do was vote for the hyper-qualified Black lady. FFS.

Once again I ask, what’s it going to take?

WTAF.

“Trump administration officials intend to remove protections and open to some development more than 58 million acres of national forests across 40 states, including 2 million acres of national forests in Oregon” apple.news/AC1r2TR7fQlG...

“In an instant, this could all explode. You could have American troops firing on American civilians in an American city in a country-defining crisis. What happens then?”

To do a complete totalitarian takeover of a country of 330+m you must incite violence. The purging of military generals and 100% dedication to a lock-step fealty of our mentally unhinged POtUS is laying ground for the military to turn against its citizens.

All of this. And Stephen Miller’s name needs to be included in this as well.
