Mike Johnson bleats about upcoming protest march. Whines that protest is bad. Another dodge by Republicans to obscure the obscene truth of this trump regime. Trump lives to lie, to grab as much $$ as he can. America can go bankrupt for all he cares, as long as he makes money off democracy's carcass.

Trump says Portland is burning. No challenges. RFK says fetuses are in the placenta, circumcision causes autism. Noem says elected officials in Oregon are pansies. And Bondi hurls canned insults at senators. Republicans remain silent. What a disgusting, dispiriting week watching this shit show.

Maria Collett is a heroine in Pennsylvania. Everything she does, every issue she champions, every day in Harrisburg, she is riveted to the needs of her constituents. Thank you, Maria!

Sadly, Mr. Lee is so desperate for attention, and to demonstrate his unthinking fealty to trump, that he'll say anything. I could be wrong, but I remember a time when elected officials were actual leaders, who, in a crisis, sought facts and truth, and cautioned people to rise above vengeful acts.

Let's check the facts about mass shootings, shall we? The Rockefeller Institute of Government compiled statistics, which show that more than 50% of mass shooters are white and more than 90% are males. So, perhaps we should prohibit white males from purchasing and owning guns? Just saying.

Well let's not get too jazzed up about Milton Friedman's "thoughts." Thanks to him and his efforts, corporations are focused solely on their returns to investors, not to any accountability or responsibility for the effects their policies, production, etc. have on the environment or the communities.

Remember who did this to our community. Republicans. If they think people will forget this before the next election, they are seriously deluded--just like their orange fascist leader trump.

It's always "afraid for my daughter," until said daughter wants equal rights or--heaven forbid--control over her own body. The crap these people spew so effortlessly is beyond disgusting.

And we all know how these devout Christians view vagrants. As Christ himself said "get their sorry asses away from me!" or something like that.

Wow! Stupid white hippies! Goebbles...um...Miller on a tear protecting his fuhrer...um...president. Added bonus footage of the secdef heehawing in the background. This is still America, right? First Amendment? What a disgusting display of arrogance. These trump-fluffers should be embarrassed.

Will Comer's blue-ribbon panel invite Epstein's victims to testify? Hah! This is not about a criminal. It's about finding ways to publicly shame Dems. Another reminder of the cult-like adoration of the orange julius caesar, for whom Comer and his ilk will sell their souls at the altar of trump.

Not free! We pay these so-called legislators a salary, pay for their outstanding health care, a defined pension, along with other perks like advance intel on how certain legislation might affect certain stocks, so they can buy or sell before the rest of us. putin's puppets work well for him too!

So sorry for Elise, she was so...what's the word...stingy with her compassion when interrogating the college presidents about antisemitism. She planted her flag with the amoral, uncurious, unserious, idiotic, puerile, narcissistic ignoramus orange julius caesar. Instead of the Constitution. Sad.

how many thugs has the military evicted from D.C. so far? Will anyone ask anyone in this administration for facts? for the evidence that the bile they spew every day has any relationship to truth? it's disgusting to watch the press corps as supine and gullible as the congress. pathetic.

netanyahu will keep this up just to keep himself out of jail. Project 2025's Esther Project told MAGA world to consider any criticism of netanyahu as equivalent to anti-semitism. So protesting starvation in Gaza is now antisemitism. Student activism is now antisemitism. Go figure.

Take any of the goons now working for ICE and show them the Constitution, the part that guarantees protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. It's the 4th Amendment, you know, so you don't have to get too far into the weeds to see how trump is profoundly abusing our rights every day.

Suzanne @bushkins.bsky.social · Aug 13

Maria Collett is one of the most courageous, clear-thinking people in government. It's sad there are not more people like her who put constituents first and political theater in the dumpster where it belongs. Thank you, Maria!

Just the beginning? Maybe they'll find the Epstein files somewhere in the mean streets of D.C. These people turn my stomach, and their arrogance--along with their ignorance of our Constitution--a breathless reminder of trump's banality of evil.

Well, homicide rate in LR, mr. cotton's big city, are up 36% vs. last year. Rapes are down, though, so that's something, right?

Suzanne @bushkins.bsky.social · Aug 11

Who will explain to mr. cotton that trump's goons tried to overthrow the government on 1/6; his goons in ICE are stealing our civil liberties. He should than god he is white, male and without any self-awareness; otherwise he would be pooping his pants at the thought of what he is supporting.

Tom Cotton pissed himself on Jan. 6. He should thank the cops who saved his sorry ass.

The pictures were likely not framed in gold, so they clashed with trump's vulgar standards.

Actually, Congress has been neutered by trump like a horny dog. In that vein, the analogy is quite apt, since this is also the administration that protects and rewards pedophiles. Even spectators notice bad calls, so calling them spectators is like calling the moon a peeping tom.

It's prob. my imagination, but didn't Americans once agree that torturing people is a bad thing? That a bully who called people cheesy names was considered an ignoramus? That being President meant that you could not also be a money-grubbing, genital-grabbing, arrogant, pedophile-supporting, liar?

Everyone, have babies! Just don't let them get sick--esp. if you're poor. Don't let your babies get shot at school. Don't let your babies meet pedophiles and the people who protect them. Don't let your babies learn about our country's actual history of slavery and theft of land from first people.
