Trump and his clown-car cabinet will never get the unearned respect they're so desperate to receive from the outside world. They're a laughingstock at home and a joke everywhere else. What an embarrassment for the U.S.A.

The media will just talk about it as little as possible. Many people wouldn't even know it had happened. Compare and contrast with the absolute furor around Benghazi or Hunter's laptop, and it's a big part of how we got here.

I fear that these immigration raids are practice for when this administration cracks down on the general population. For now, they're refining their tactics and getting regular people used to the idea of a military occupation of their towns and cities. It's all so evil.

It was a BIG DEAL back in the 1950s when it was even suspected that Communists might have infiltrated the U.S. government. Now, it seems we have de facto Nazis who are infiltrating the highest levels of the Trump admin and wider MAGA movement. The level of alarm seems insufficient.

I always knew that some portion of Americans were soulless fuckers. But I never could’ve imagined that a major American political party — the party of Lincoln — would be made up entirely of soulless fuckers.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

Every day it amazes me that reporters who have been lied to for a decade hear something new from the liar and pretend to their audience that he might be telling the truth this time.

Remember when Melania graced the East Wing with her hideous blood red Xmas trees during Trumps first term? These people are tasteless louts who ruin everything they touch.

Is that for real, or is “she” just playing along?

I despise The NY Times. I cancelled my subscription in 2017 and it’s only gone downhill since then. It makes you wonder how they even survive despite constantly shitting on the political demographic that undoubtedly makes up the core of their subscribers.

You think so? I thought that suit was sharp and classy as heck. He looked great in it. I bet the ladies would agree, too.

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 1d

No problem at all. I figured we were on the same page.

There needs to be a video of him curling up his lip and growling while you sing that to him.

I was just being facetious. I think the tan suit looked fantastic, and I’m mocking the “both sides” attempts of some people to equate Trump’s obscene hatefulness with far more benign things that Democrats said or did.

It all started when Obama wore that tan suit. And now this. “Both sides” amirite?

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 1d

Definitely not a commie.

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 1d

I mean, those are solid choices IMHO. I would have voted for either in the general, but Warren especially would have been trounced because “Pocahontas.” That’s the level of lameness that our politics seems to operate on. Anyway, have a great day you filthy commie (just kidding).

In the primaries, I mean. Who did you support?

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 2d

No, but who *did* you vote for? Did they win?

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 2d

So who did you vote for? Did they win? No? So how are you any better than anyone else?

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 2d

If that were so, then I guess that you, being a commie, would be working to overthrow the democratic Weimar government and thereby add to the political instability that enabled the Nazis to take control. Yeah, that kind of makes sense. Again, "useful idiots."

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 2d

Tapper ought to man-up and admit that there's no "both sides" to our politics now. Clinton qualified her "deplorables" remarks right off the bat, making it clear she was referring to *some*, not all, Trump supporters (and she was right). There's no comparison with the vile things Trump has said.

But wait, it's almost an hour now and you haven't blocked me yet? What's keeping you? Did you think I was here to defend the Weimar government or something? Please, block me. I beg you.

Another Bob 🇺🇸🫶🇨🇦🫶🇲🇽🫶🇺🇦 @anotherbob.bsky.social · 2d

I’m okay with anyone who voted for Kamala Harris in the end, even if they weren’t enthusiastic about her. But I take issue with people who put their own performative ideological purity ahead of trying to beat the Nazis and the fascists and save democracy. It seemed like such an easy choice.
