  • "No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump | Our unofficial estimate is that around 4-6 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

  • wake me up when something comes of it.

    I don’t live in the States.

    What is the point of posting that then? Are you being paid to suppress opposition to the regime by by fomenting hopelessness or apathy, or is trying to discourage people during a time of crisis in their country just for your own amusement or ego-stroking.

    Things lead to more things, and it starts with people coming together, organizing, and protesting. The Trump+Christian Nationalist regime wants us to shut up and sit down, to nip any resistance in the bud. You're helping them.

  • That's interesting, I'm in a red state, purple location, and it was the other way around. The first 2 protests I went to in April (Hands Off and another one), it seemed like over 80% were (myself included) 50+ yo white people. Then yesterday I was happy to see lots more younger people and more ethnic diversity (though still whiter compared to proportion of the population). I saw more couples with their kids there too, and there were twice as many people overall.

  • This is a bit OT from the main point of the article, but since they brought it up and used the standard "The worst ratings for any president!!!1! hype [always with qualifying statement like "at this point in their term"| "since some convenient year"]

    Trump’s approval in our polling average is 44% today, the worst for any president at this point in their term (except Trump during his first term) going back to 1935.

    It's 44% today, 44% yesterday, and 44% tomorrow. It's always in the low-mid forties (40-45%). It's steady as a rock, no matter what happens. Yet I'm continuously seeing articles titled "Trump's ratings nosedive/plummet/crash!" whenever it fluctuates down by a point or two (never "Trump's ratings skyrocket!" when it goes back up a point). It's all for feel-good propaganda.

    This is just to say, don't depend on his followers to turn their backs on him--they won't. It's up to the rest of us.

  • ICE Barbie Went on Bungled Raid Storming Pregnant Mom’s Home

  • While this transpired, Medina said that Noem remained in shouting distance outside, donning a bulletproof vest and wearing a Homeland Security cap.

    "Do they have a puppy?" Noem shouted to those searching inside. "I want to shoot it if they have one," she explained to a minion nearby. /s

  • Adding to Scardina’s annoyance, the men had valid work permits and pending asylum applications, according to their attorney Regilucia Smith. “They are legally here,” she said. “Valid work permit, not even close to expired… again, no criminal records—not here, not in Nicaragua.”

    Remember, it's not only the people who are here illegally that are being arrested/deported.

  • His cult will never turn on him, no matter what he does. He could walk up to one of them, stick a knife in their gut, and they'll humbly ask him to please stop twisting it, Mr. President, so I can vote for you again, sir.

  • Bannon Says He’s Advising Trump to DEPORT Elon Musk Immediately

    Jump

  • Yes, he was completely submissive to Musk and his little X brat! I kind of marveled at how he sat there and took shit from them in that office and I knew Musk owned him. I don't really think the Epstein thing is that important. Everyone already knows about it, and his followers won't believe it or won't care. If a crime, I think it would have to be something bigger. Like on the level of the conspiracy theory that Musk was able to rig the election in some states (though I'm not sure even that would be prosecuted). But then Musk would also be incriminated.

    I think it's more likely that there was a huge sum of money trump was going to get paid, that Musk had control of until the investigations into Musk and his companies got shut down and all the billions in government contracts to his companies were signed and delivered, then once trump finally got paid for the services rendered, he doesn't need Musk anymore, so he's out.

    The thing that was never considered by a lot of people who helped get trump in power for their own gain, both the first time and this time, is that once he's in there he has the full power of the government to go after you if you don't toe the line. He can ruin them financially and even put them in prison now. They forgot, trump never honors a deal. He'll screw you over the minute you no longer have something he needs or can no longer threaten him.

  • Yes, good point. He was in it for both of those things and probably a bunch of other less obvious stuff. I'd like to see the contracts cancelled and the investigations re-opened.

  • One good thing to come out of this is if trump cancels Musk's new billions in government contracts that were the main reason Musk bought trump in the first place. 🤞

  • Despite everything, Márquez Duany doesn’t blame Trump.

    And this is what everyone who keeps hoping magats will turn on trump once he screws them over enough needs to understand. They'll never turn on him. No matter what he does, no matter what kind of negative consequences they suffer. It will never be trump's fault in their minds. They are not capable of forming that conclusion.

    IOW, we (and especially Dem. politicians) are the ones who need to face reality and accept that what we need to win here is an all-out battle for power, not a debate, not a negotiation.

  • I want a big enough mass of freak conservative boomers to die off of old age and for the republicans to finally push everyone else hard enough that this country finally fucking snaps and swings left so hard that Reagan’s grave belches black smoke for a month.

    Look at Mike Johnson's face--he's not dying for a long long time. Get over the idea that evil people are all old and you just need to wait for them to die, it's not going to happen. New evil ones are born every day, they exist in every generation, they've been with us forever and will be with us forever.

Also got to get high on swinging his dick around a lot, and still has trump offering him more favors for more money.
