I’ll be relieved to hear that — after two years of zero congressional representation— #WA03 will vote you back to your failing auto shop.

The road to authoritarianism is lined with Marie’s who are “independents” just ignoring the world around them.

I legit thought this was Tom Hanks at first glance

Off duty cop murders civilian, will receive brief vacation (“paid administrative leave”) before returning to duty. Rinse & repeat

Enjoying the shutdown are we? Having fun with some photo ops, hmm?

Sure glad nothing relevant is happening anywhere in the country right now.

You do you, Marie!

My small business has seen stock material that sells for $100 have a $1000 “import charge” in the past several months. Domestic suppliers, if even available, are marking up their prices because they know they have no imported competition.

You could end this tariff bullshit today. But instead, this

The weird thing about blatant market manipulation is that Trump is in the Epstein Files

Did you know Congress sets tariffs and has the authority to impeach a president for constitutional violations?

Did you? I’m seriously asking because I don’t believe you understand the oath you swore when you were elected.

Wouldn’t phase them at all, they’d preach about the merits of Sharia like they were into it the whole time. Remember how quickly we went from Russia being an enemy nation to cuddling in Putin’s lap? Gotta hand it to Republicans, they sure have groomed their base to follow orders without thought

So my tax dollars won’t give children school lunches because “how would we pay for it” but they will go towards building a base for another country because “America first”. Seems legit

But those that rely on aid the most are also the ones that believe the GOP’s endless lies of “Democrats did this” without so much as fact checking. It’s why they keep voting against their own self interests; they have an enemy, and no amount of facts or evidence will ever sway their feelings

Murder is wrong! To prove that, we’re going to make every taxpayer an accessory to state-sanctioned murder…

Rob @robmakesthat.bsky.social · 3d

THIS is where you draw the line? Wow. Ok…

I don’t think either them has the cult following he does. He’s the GOP phenomenon that can do no wrong, but not even Reagan had that kind of sycophancy. The next republican will probably be in for a culture shock at the comparative lack of cult worship

You make it sound like a guy who got lost, didn’t know where he landed, committed atrocities, was arrested for them, and died penniless shouldn’t be honored with a holiday in a country he never once set foot in…

The US president is currently appearing in commercials hawking watches. While in office. During a shutdown that he caused. Yesterday he admitted on camera he “took away free speech” and played with invoking the insurrection act.

When, if ever, will you do anything about this? It’s your literal job…

Rob @robmakesthat.bsky.social · 4d

I miss having a President that could speak in complete sentences.

$75B Gestapo, $211B to tax cuts for Elon & friends, $849.8B military budget

Explain again how we “can’t afford” universal healthcare, housing the homeless, free college tuition, or school meals for K-12, I’ll wait…

Looking forward to the day #WA03 gets congressional representation.

But, while our democracy dies at least we get treated to tweets about car headlights and reminded how office workers in Vancouver aren’t important though, so it’s not a total loss…

The team that avoided tariffs by publicly bribing the King of America is also doing everything the King tells them to do? Inconceivable!

Sex worker introduced to pedophile by his sex trafficking bestie seems like the tamest of cover ups so far this year

Rob @robmakesthat.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah 1 attack totally justifies 2 years of genocide.

While you’re busy not holding the White House accountable for DECLARING WAR ON AMERICAN CITIES & CALLING ALL DEMOCRATS TERRORISTS, do you think you’ll have the time to question why Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat duly elected 2 weeks ago?

Rob @robmakesthat.bsky.social · 6d

It’s almost like giving a federal Gestapo more money than most of the world’s militaries was a bad idea 🫠

The guy trampling all your constitutional rights wants to make sure you always have the right to be gunned down by one of his supporters

Rob @robmakesthat.bsky.social · 10d

There’s nothing “bipartisan” about a congressperson ignoring the president’s unconstitutional withholding of congressionally approved funding to Democratic voting states.

You either oppose it, or you support it with your complacency.

You have chosen the latter for 256 days so far.

You are MAGA.
