MAGA (at a glance)

One percent are soulless zillionaires who know better, but happily betray their country’s people and values in the pursuit of even more money.

Ninety-nine percent are unhappy and frustrated Americans who don’t know better... or anything else.

Absolutely inspired.

I keep envisioning AI losing its mind whenever it runs up against the cognitive dissonance of an ignorant bottom-feeder being elected to lead the most powerful nation on the planet.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah, I’ve been trying to figure out that very thing today. New-ish to BlueSky and learning the ropes.
Thank you.

Every once in a while the truth leaks out...

Heads will roll.

…racists, con artists and demagogues.

“All-American Halftime Show” — featuring Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and an autoharp player named Jim.

“He's as stupid as his boss” — I would have thought that impossible.
But I also thought Trump couldn’t possibly win the FIRST time.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 2d

Funny, true and pointed. Terrific post.

That’s all we need — a pissing contest between the most insecure, overcompensating males on the planet, nuclear-armed Putin and Trump.

People in the streets. The only power that will save this country.

Strange but true:

Members of the Trump Administration and Jane Goodall are of the same species.

All hail mushroom martyr Brian.

There is ONE fascist playbook— only the names change. Mussolini, Franco, Hitler, Pinochet, Trump.

The press, academia, law enforcement, the judiciary, ALL must be frightened into submission.

Cue: The people.

It is a given that ALL senior members of the Trump Administration will do more damage to his/her institution than has ever been done before.

America is in a fight for its life.

The world has become the proverbial asylum that the psychotics have taken over.

WE NEED TO BE THE ONES WEARING WHITE COATS

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 4d

A pity that many of our species are Bondi-level defensive, dishonest and miserable. A tragedy when they lead the most powerful nation on the planet.

A very high hate-to-body ratio.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 5d

The only comforting aspect of the Trump nightmare is a small bit of revenge in knowing the miserable prick has to live with himself 24/7.

The guy has no humor, no real friends — he’s a humanity-free zone.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 5d

When Mr. Trump claims he’s “ended all wars” it can only mean the world is on fire.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 5d

Toss in the facts that she’s young, female and fearless, and Ms. Thunberg is the bogeyman of bogeymen to the right.

Call it OAC Syndrome.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 6d

Mr. Trump has officially crossed over into “Out of his fucking mind” territory.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah, the “Deal Maker” strikes again: Putin gets America’s arsenal AND Ukraine.

Russ Buchanan @russbuchanan.bsky.social · 6d

If this image comes anywhere near my dreams tonight… it’s your fault.

Next time we have a chance to vote for an obviously power-mad fascist who displays every single character defect we try to keep out of our kids... let’s not.
