He can write all the worthless Executive Orders he wants, legally, but only Congress can make laws.
Trump's EOs are too contradictory to law to be at all effective.

"stay tuned"
As if we could shut that idiot up turning the dial.

"thank you for your attention to this matter"

How much you wanna bet he learned that part from a human?

She's a Republican in Congress who is standing up to her party's criminal behavior.
No other Republican has enough spine to even hint at disagreement with the cult, let alone a MAGA Republican.

Retribution is proving to be really bad policy.

We will need immeasurable grace to rebuild the USA.

That's awesome, really.
I'm not disabled, but my e-bike makes me feel alive and free, so I think I get it a little bit.
It took a long time to start using electric motors for the good stuff, because we didn't have the batteries for it.
Thankfully, those came in time to make your life better & mine.

I sent money to a relative and to a friend, both hard working snap recipients. I fear things are going to get worse for all of us, so I'm thinking I may have to continue helping both of them for a while.
I'm grateful somebody is helping people who don't have anybody close to help them scrape by.

haha....I try to find songs on the net to play on the guitar, and half of the pop songs I find, I've never heard of.

It's not a bad thing - my playing sucks, so it's nice to not know what it's supposed to sound like.

I'd like to see anybody fake my signature. I had to provide it when I lived in NY. Now I live in Pa, which has passed passed a voter ID law.
So this morning I took my ID, but the license scanners weren't working....So even though they looked at the ID, they were relying on my signature anyway.

I tried to go check what maga is saying.....I got followed by pages and pages of people named elon.

So I blocked a whole bunch of elons, which got my account suspended.

It's still a sewer of anti-American propaganda.

100% agree. They aren't even ashamed of lying. They don't even try to come up with believable lies, or try to hide their lies, they just lie openly and absurdly as if it were normal human behavior.

Trump thinks feeding starving children is just a "democrat priority program" and feels perfectly justified starving those babies who did not vote for him.

I respect Liz too much to speak ill of her family.

He let us call him Darth Vader.

Seems like the good old days now.

My (now deceased) mother always left a cabinet full of food on her porch and insisted that the porch be unlocked "in case somebody is so desperate they have to steal to eat".
She was a Republican, too.
She stopped after Obama's 1st term .. mega-church propaganda embittered her towards others.

They regret voting for him because it hurts them, but they knowingly voted for retribution against fellow citizens.

I know I have to forgive those who elected a man after he had forged election slates delivered to Congress, but it won't come easy to me. They're regretful now, not remorseful.

If we let him redirect the tax money our reps have voted on and appropriated on our behalf, we lose pretty much all power of the people.

How can 37% of Americans not see that?

Has anybody had any success talking to a trump supporter?

I wouldn't have voted Cuomo for mayor, but he was once a halfway a decent governor, and I feel really bad for him for the instant permanent smear of being associated with trump in any way.

DDay Pragmatist @ddaydemocrat.bsky.social · 22h

hahaha You mean Stephen Miller assists Cuomo’s opponent

General Strike, too.

Besides, I've been calling for a general strike all day.

I didn't because he's not one I get a steady stream of fundraising stuff from...(but maybe he just doesn't have my email address - everybody else fills my text and email up every day.
Wouldn't it be cool if one text was helpful information or a plan to follow instead of a plea for money?

I almost said the exact same in response to a Senator Murphy post, suggesting he tell the Dems/DNC not every email and text has to be begging us for money - what they need is our votes, and we can't compete with oligarchs. What we need is leadership and strategy. That would get votes. 1/2

Trump is not recognizing any law, friend, not even those he swore an oath to defend and protect.
Most people do not realize the magnitude of change that already happened in the US govt. The old USA may recognize the treaties, but maga gave our power away along with their own. Talk to our dictator.

Plus ask how he can act as a Speaker if he wont come to work.
