The same people who complain about Harris not going through the primaries are also perfectly fine with an unelected billionaire getting access to all our personal information through the Treasury Department.

My issue with the continued refrain: You voted for this, is that those of you refuse to acknowledge why so many people did. I voted for Kamala but I did so only because I promised my daughter I would. I am shocked and horrified about what is happening now but am equally dismayed that those on the left still don't understand. We were living under a shadow government and it had to be stopped. The corruption was undeniable. Nobody knows who was running the government, and women were being erased. The fact is, and I really believe this, the extreme trans movement is probably what tipped the scales.

Because you aren’t accepting answers. Why bother?

I dont know why they did not follow Vivek's approach of just firing every person with an even last number in their ssn. The pace needs to pick up considerably or this will be one more empty promise of cost cutting.


How have you managed to escape natural selection and continue to be alive. Geezus.

I think that is true, to a degree. I know a lot of people who voted for Trump who aren't MAGA, including myself. I find MAGAs disgusting.


You basically were a MAGA vote. Way to help usher this in …total lack of foresight.

Thank you. Let’s get back to the main thread topic. Trump’s tweet sounds like he’s getting ready to do something insanely illegal. It’s also a dogwhistle to his supporters that they can commit violence with impunity as long as it can be justified with “saving the country”.

Here are actions you can take:
https://indivisible.org/coup
5calls.org

Call EVERY SINGLE DAY. call both DC offices and local. If DC res, call Schumer and tell Norton to pass message on to peers.

Don’t fall into the cynical trap that “nothing matters”. It matters. It takes one minute per call. There’s ZERO excuse for not doing this. You don’t get to b itch and moan or curl up in a ball and cry. No one’s asking you to walk over the bridge in Selma and get clubbed by cops. I’m just asking you to pick up the GD phone.

And if you really want to have an impact, volunteer for one of the special elections in Florida or soon to be New York. And again, don’t give me “This seat is impossible to flip” Nothing is impossible, nothing..


Most of us are busy working and don’t have the time for this BS. Maybe if you did the same, you’d be in a better place.

I call on my commute. What’s your excuse?

I guess we’re all supposed to be having a big sad that a low information identity politics troll voted for Trump, but…that’s pretty much expected. In other news, water is wet.

What could possibly be different about THIS candidate????? Real head scratcher.


It’s happened 8 times where the VP did not get the nomination to be the next President. The candidate is chosen by the Primaries. Please show me what primaries she won….

If Biden dropped out and She had to do it the same way as in the past, do you think she would have wine the primary and been the candidate?

Maybe the difference about THIS candidate is the way it was done. If it MUST be Race and Sex, Mike Pence and Dan Quayle would like an explanation.

The current president has stated the law does not apply to him. This is happening now. In America. Anyone who loves America should be appalled.



Because Trumpublicans can't take responsibility for anything, ever. They are toddlers. They have no agency, they are victims of everything. 8-16 years later still blaming Obama for their oen failures.
