I think about this a lot! I would say: almost everything has gotten a lot better, except for the number of people trying to make everything worse.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I do not comprehend how that orange fuck still has any approval rating over 2% … he was right about one thing. I now believe he could shoot someone on the street and his cult would still support him. I fear for this country 🤬

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

I am so so happy to note. Only one legacy tv network is broadcasting Trumps speech tonight live (CBS of course). ABC, NBC, FOX are not! They’re all saying “check our streaming if you want to see it.” I so love this for DJT. Expecting “they’re mean to me” posts from the most victimized bully ever.

I find it odd that the media only counts *fatal* shootings as ICE shootings. There were two ICE murders in the last month. I’m pretty sure ICE doesn’t kill *only* the people they intend to. (They’ve said they don’t) How many non-fatal shootings have been going on over the last week/month/year??? 🤔

I cannot express my level of disgust and contempt for the US DOJ going after E. Jean Carroll for the sin of beating Trump in court over and over and over again. What in the actual fuck? Will the corruption never end?

Prediction: Trump declares the war with Iran over (Iran maintains their nuclear materials & apply tolls on Hormuz). Because he knows the next time congress is in session, congress will finally approve a war powers resolution. That’s the only reason he hints a war end on a non trading day!

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Could someone please tell me why the judge restricting mifepristone isn’t the lead story every where? They are escalating their assault on control of women’s bodies! www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

nbcnews.comAppeals court blocks access to abortion pills via telehealth and mail nationwideThe ruling is a blow for abortion rights advocates, since it reinstates a requirement that mifepristone — one of the two pills used in medication abortions — be distributed in person.

I totally agree and not at all Humorously… this is dead serious. I would add a funding test and potential blackmail test.

I agree that Presidents should have to pass some tests to qualify for president: - Lie detector test - Constitution/citizenship test - Background check - Mental health test - Loyalty test (to country) - Cognitive test

Trump lies and gaslights us constantly, so it’s understandable that many react to yet another attempt on his life with skepticism. These doubts are being exploited, however, and there’s a troubling truth we need to grapple with. My write-up in the replies.

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

Know what makes me sad (among so many other things) …. No matter what the President of the United States of America says. I know it’s highly likely to re-reversed, changed, extended, retracted, redacted or doubled downed before whatever deadline has passed. Often within the hour. So so sad.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Just another way to be extraordinarily cruel to children of immigrants - who will become stateless - potentially not citizens of anywhere. Makes me wonder if this is a new way to make a new slave class? If you’re a citizen of nowhere… where can you turn for justice? Not the USA, that’s for sure.

The mere fact that the leadership of the Congress are complicit in their inactions is cause for concern, impeachment, arrest, removal, and a whole lot more. Why are the watchdogs asleep? Why is no one taking action against the silent coup taking place?
