If you can't yet see the 1933
Germany parallels, you either skipped history, or you're disturbingly comfortable repeating it.

What the AMERICAN President said!

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 59m

May this peace hold.

Tweet from Barack Obama: “After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight…”
The tweet continues expressing hope for peace, aid to Gaza, and rebuilding efforts.

Trump lost the Nobel Peace Prize to a Latina woman and now he’s throwing a full-blown tantrum! Dean Withers at his best here! The Chairman of the Committee said they only give the award to people with courage and integrity. Let’s use some sense, Trump has neither!

Yup. The Supreme Court of the only true deep state, The Heritage Foundation, gave Felon 47 power to commit ANY crime he can imagine while in office. Those he appointed to positions of power because of their willingness to commit crimes for him? Not so much. They have to hope for pardons.

Did you know Nixon never served a day in prison because he was pardoned?
But his Attorney General did.
His Chief of Staff did.
His Domestic Affairs Adviser did.
His Special Counsel did.
His campaign chairman did.
Even members of his re-election committee did time.

Journalists are the ones exposing the criminal actions of ICE. Yup. So, Felon 47 wants them assaulted and locked up. Hitler, Stalin, Putin, etc and now Trump.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

And, FOX Faux News fans believe this hate fiction. And, of course, Brietbart.bs, Newsmax, and all the alternative-fact-based hate fiction pretending to be responsible sources of journalism HAVE TO PRETEND THIS CRAP IS TRUE, ALSO. Or, they will lose the audiences they have groomed to believe lies.

Trump's pretense that the billionaire humanitarian funded "crisis actors,"s massive protests, and terrorist was never going to be proven. Felon 47 made up the lie and ordered the investigation so his gullible fans would think he believed it, at least until it was proven false.

The once honorable combat vet sold his soul for a big salary at FOX. FOX IS where nondisclosure agreements over million-dollar pay-outs for sexual assault and rape have been the norm since Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly were fired after payouts to cover their crimes went past $35 million apiece.

This sounds like something Felon 4 7 would do!

Just kidding. I have no idea if this is a factual claim; only that it is the sort of the thing a great American like Colbert would actually do.

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson,

We the PEOPLE think Congress, especially those of us you TARGET, should have WORK REQUIREMENTS. Since you have sent everyone home since 9/19 (last time House was in session) it should be retroactive for any member NOT in the chamber.

Fondly,
AMERICA

PS YOU WORK FOR US!😡

The machinery or skeleton of what makes America AMERICA is still in place. Felon 47, "our" unrepentant, self-confessed Christian and serial sex offender, even with the help of a corrupt SCOTUS, hasn't removed it all, yet.

Upon arriving in Portland, National Guardsmen and armed, masked ICE agents found no "war ravaged city." So, Felon 47 ordered them to "make it look war ravaged." ALL, to please America's racists who vote for him.
