Congressional Republicans and some Supreme Court members may have capitulated their power to Trump, but at least some judges are holding the line to try and stop our slide into a banana republic ruled by criminals and the craven.

Don’t know him at all. But I agree 100% with what he says in this message.
Dems should be introducing articles of impeachment EVERY SINGLE DAY to force the Republicans to reject them.
Because when the GOP falls - and it will - the stake of complicity needs to be driven through its heart.

So let me get this straight… now the Republicans that enabled Trump in 2016 and now have buyer’s remorse about it are trying to ret-con Dick Cheney into being some kind of decent, moral, upstanding American?
He was a monster that lied America into war.
Enough of this shit. Good riddance.

A very effective and succinct breakdown of the cognitive dissonance that “Republicans” and “Conservatives” have when it comes to Donald Trump.
I grew up in an actual Republican family to parents that were actually Conservatives. Donald Trump is neither of those things. Neither are his supporters.

Watching two Millennials talk about Bitcoin like it’s a rational and sensible investment vehicle is so cringey.
In this interview, Luke Kawa spews a word salad that boils down to: people panic and sell when things go down, and speculation and hype makes it go up.
Well, duh. 🤦

It’s my sentiment that a lot of Americans that voted for Trump never really understood how American government or macroeconomics worked, or why the global system was a massive asset to America.
So when Trump and the GOP decided to break it all, the couldn’t tell the difference.

100%. Stop hoping for a miracle or the fever to break. It’ll never happen. Ever.
When are folks going to learn that nothing will ever shake some peoples’ support for this man? Like, stop asking what the breaking point is—there isn’t one.
Not 34 felonies, 40,000 lies, an attempted coup, a jury finding him liable for sex abuse-nothing.
Because to admit any of it means 1/2

I’m sorry for the generation that has to grow up and only know this fucked up, twisted and disgusting version of America that Republicans are forging.
It’s America in name only. They never understood or gave a shit about the America that actually stood for good things that mattered.

This is how America will lose the next war. And it will more than likely be with China. Why? Because Trump is an idiot that doesn’t understand how things work, and Hegseth is completely out of his depth and making decisions based solely on arrogance and personal ideology.
