A friend in need, A friend indeed. Times they are a changing. Going solo so keep me grounded and I will do my best for y'all. Let's hold each other's hands and hearts during good times and bad. Tough times ahead so we must not all feel bad at the same time

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

90% of Republicans time, energy, thinking, speaking, defending Trump and his minions. Billions, Power, Greed. hate focused on all the Great accomplishments for a better USA, World and THE UNIVERSE! We are strongest, productive, humane, TOGETHER!

Now we know the true cost of the 4 mil 747. Mountain Home Idaho, yes, Idaho, Air Force Base. Oh, ignorance is bliss. Wake up! Smell that instant coffee. Maybe a slap in each others faces will not make you a better person. Leave that to Trump, JD, Miller, too late anyhow. Something isbetter than this

Holy Crap, Batman. The race is on! Will Trump become king before stupid Americans realize they did this to themselves, families, loved ones, friends. No food unless you bear the Mark of da Beast. Homeless, hungry, slaves. Never happen. Look at the world around you. Youre not special enough 4 Trump

When the time comes, hopefully you have lifes necessaries, food, shelter, water, emergency first aid, blankets, and so much more. When your designated leader hands you a gun, TAKE IT! Best take some time educating yourselves about guns, ammo, defense. God Bless each and every man, woman, child.

The way this Trump shit is going down, we will have to fight or surrender. Most Dems are not in a gun club. Find a leader in your surrounding vicinity of friends, family, relatives, to "LEAD" with intelligence, courage, honor, your support. Plans must be made today or tomorrow will be your end.

Oh! I forgot we think that, too, is not possible. Guess what? This today was not possible. And yet, here we are. Unprepared, weak, weaponless targets. Sitting Ducks. Hands will have to get dirty.

Will it be tomorrow or the day after? Trump/MAGA declares war on the United States of America. What then?

Any one else? Seems just a few years back, Americans were intelligent, honorable, united, and of good heart and soul. What the Hell happened? Our blessings have been turned against us. I thought being the greatest, strongest, financially stable, protected, defended with our Constitution, Democracy.

Might I suggest? Stop being shocked, mouth open, flabbergasted, when Trump/maga, bondi, play Proj 2025 as written. The lies, hate, corruption, criminal, as "Don" the Don of the Republican Mafia. Read the proj 25 book. Get a step ahead of, instead of 5 steps behind. Be the Adults in big boy pants!

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

It is most logical to blame Republicans for the Govt shutdown, Democrats presented a perfect Fed budget. Republicans simply went home and have not returned to approve the Democrats Budget. Republicans also ran home to hide in their basement avoiding the Einstein Files. #218 vote held up.FAA closed

Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen.bsky.social · 6d

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

A Ballroom? A tribute to DOGE and "Big Balls."

Leia🇨🇴🇺🇸 @theswprincess.bsky.social · 12d

Trump wrecks to economy with daily-changing tariffs.

He shuts down the gov’t to block the vote on the Epstein files.

The White House confirms: construction on the new ballroom WILL continue during the shutdown.

Trump continues his vanity project while Americans suffer.

The Trump administration has announced construction of the White House ballroom will continue during the government shutdown.

White House announced Trump’s big beautiful ballroom will continue construction while American families receive insurance notices warning that there are big increases coming for their health insurance policies. Republican priorities are clear & and they clearly aren’t with Americans budgets

This didn’t happen under Biden because he believed government should actually function on behalf of the people, not actively work against them in order to benefit the wealthy.

A screenshot of an X post by @harryjsisson
commenting on the first government shutdown in 7 years occurring under Donald Trump, noting that the last one also happened during Trump's first term. The post sarcastically mentions Trump calling himself a "master negotiator."

from Wednesday's post: the Secretary of Stupid, Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand, basically ordered our military to commit more war crimes, and then Little Donny Fuckface got up and blithered incoherently, because of course he did. please read the whole thing — link is here: bit.ly/3KOoHiU

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Those 800 military leaders are bound to duties ascribed under the US Constitution. You have to give them, on behalf of all Americans, permission to deny loyalty, respect, service to the mentally impaired Pres. Sorry, you are the heart, soul, leader of all we have become

John B @rusty21.bsky.social · 13d

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our current military leaders are in danger from the mental incompetence of Trump and the alcoholic Hegseth. Sworn Oaths to the USA, "We the People," not the pres. When the Commander in chief is a dangerous psychotic, nut. You have to defend, protect, lead. Only you can.

John B @rusty21.bsky.social · 13d

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Together, patriots that put America first, free, united, powerful, respected, loved. Evil will not leave when simply requested. Courage, intelligence, heart, soul, hope will save and return our most precious Democracy, Constitution. THE PEOPLE, Liberty and Justice for All.

John B @rusty21.bsky.social · 13d

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social The straw that broke the camels back. The great 800 disrespected, diminished, distorted. They are a force to be reckoned with. The reckonee is the enemy within. You and many more Vets can do more than duty bound men and women. Together, greatness will prevail, thrive.
