It ALL makes sense, when you realize that this Trump craziness is itself an anti-American drama being stage managed by Vladimir Putin. Remember: Occam’s Razor. The simplest explanation, for all this incompetence is usually the most accurate 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Sorry

After Kamala Harris’ loss, I took a hiatus from political TV. It’s been so long since I have seen MSNBC, that, turning on the election coverage tonight…sorry @arimelber.bsky.social …but you have gone a bit gray

(In the meantime, Ari, I’ve gone bald. I feel your pain). Still a fan, though

The Chief Rabbi in NYC’s largest Reform Synagogue (a woman… do you know who that is?) is scared shitless of him. Why?

Not sure, but I’m pretty sure they have enough goons to intimidate the Republican caucus into voting their way (with violence & threats of same).

That’s how fascists operate

They have sacrificed every other prerogative thus far & kneeled before him. They will again on this

Irony is dead

The likes of @schumer.senate.gov & Kirsten Sinema slayed all those Dem candidates on the altar of the filibuster, giving them up to maintain a slavery-era relic… only to have Donald Fucking Trump be the one with more balls than them (yet again)

Let Trump eliminate the filibuster

IT IS NOTHING LESS THAN THE ROADWAY BACK TO POWER

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

Has anyone ever done a serious rigorous study (if such a thing is possible) into where the Trump’s are offshoring their (or should I say OUR) money?

Serious knowledgeable financial investigators like @fahrenthold.bsky.social or @davidcayjohnston.bsky.social

That would be the Republican members of Congress. Remember, he's been impeached by the Dems twice - the Republicans blocked him from punishment twice, creating this entire unfortunate, illegitimate second term and perhaps last free election in the history of our great Country. Pathetic.

I’m not a seriously religious guy, but to me it seems like the Tower of Babel story come to life

Stupid human pride/hubris, thinking they know God’s will better than She does, and then She zaps humanity with the sudden inability to communicate

And the Tower comes a-tumbling down. Not pretty

Jon Frank @richmondjon.bsky.social · 3d

No doubt. @kamalaharris.com cleaned that motherfucker Trump’s clock in every way…and not just at the debate. To say she is a better more qualified human being, says very little about her.

The American public just couldn’t give up their racism/sexism.

Too bad. We are now reaping the whirlwind.

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

Because a two year old kid was such a big fucking threat to the goddamn Nazis

History is repeating itself, except the two year old kids in America aren’t Jewish

Republicans are willing to starve poor children to protect rich men who raped children.

It's just another form of child abuse.

Meanwhile, my Congresswoman is stage left, Rep. McClain (MI-9)

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like a deer in the headlights?

What a killer!!

Jon Frank @richmondjon.bsky.social · 7d

How does happen without 1) Blowing Trump’s ear off his head, at minimum; AND 2) There being two gunmen out there that day?

This is grassy knoll shit. I don’t believe anything Trump/MAGA says, but I don’t buy this conspiratorial shit either

I’m willing to believe that it was a Trump put-up job, but What about the poor guy who really did get killed at the rally in Butler PA?

Mr Gerstein: You assume these people in the Trump regime give a shit. They only have to get a US District Court to weigh in on whatever they are doing.

Win or lose, plaintiff or defendant, all they have to do, is get the cases to their fellows in fellatio, aka SCOTUS… and it’s a win for them
