Mad King Donny's dementia controls his every word, thought and deed. It tells him the presidency is his magical superpower. As long as he has it, it will protect him from dying the same way it protects him from prison.

Bessent says the only way for people to have paychecks is for Trump to be king. His BS about a government is empty because if Trump is king, there is no government, just minions fulfilling whatever wish comes into King Donny I's addled head. Americans will not tolerate a tyrant.

Fuck you Bessent. We antifa will not live under your tyranny.

No kings. No crown. No facists.

Bessent: "No Kings means no paychecks. No paychecks and no government."

Those two should get a room instead of making out in public like that.

Yes, that may have been the thinking. Or he sat on the umbrella in the car and broke it himself with his fat ass.

We should all be carrying whistles and blow them whenever we see ICE gangs going after someone, or even just looking for people to attack and kidnap, so alert everyone nearby.

I love this idea of the whistles, which have typically been the tool of police going after criminals. The whistle flips the script on ICE and makes them feel like the authorities are coming for THEM, so they scatter.

Trump has unleashed armed gangs in our cities to terrorize and attack whoever they think they can kidnap and - be paid a bonus for dragging in? This nullifies the Trump regime's bullshit about criminal immigrants being a threat. THEY are lawless and unchecked and must be stopped.

I love that his handlers gave Donny a broke-ass umbrella with one side collapsing and a rib sticking out. It complemented his cheap baggy suit.

Mike Johnson doesn't have a job. He shuttered his own workplace indefinitely and laid himself off, as well as all of his co-workers. He should not get a paycheck, just like any other laid-off federal worker whose services were deemed nonessential, as he declared the House's by closing it.

Why the fuck can't Trump or his flunky work an umbrella? Don't they have the kind with a button to open AND close it? I expected to see it immediately pop shut when the flunky took it, but he pulled it into the plane still open.

Trump needs a dentist as much as he needs a doctor. The spaces between his bottom teeth are black.

When Trump croaks and JD's president, do you think he'll remove all that cheap plastic gold shit Trump's stuck all over the walls and woodwork, but then cram the Oval Office with couches until it looks like a furniture store showroom?

The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 1d

Keep an eye on JD Vance - the least genuine person in the world. He knows truth about Trump's health and Walter Reed. After Kirk was killed, he extolled their friendship, skipped 9/11 ceremony to bring his body home. Today on Sunday shows, he spoke to the Insurrection Act.
He's preparing to ascend.

When you think about it, that IS his entire job. Trump ignores him and consults him on nothing. Other than breaking the occasional Senate tie, he's useless, worthless, friendless, and witless. When he's not pleasuring himself with the furniture, he seeks companionship with interviewers.

Lying once was Trump's superpower. Lies are instinctive every time he opens his mouth, but now he's untethered from reality. He lives in some La-La-Land where Portland is boarded up and in flames and DC restaurants are always full because that's all people ever wanted to do but were too afraid.

The resemblance is uncanny!

Cats Working @catsworking.bsky.social · 1d

Happened to me yesterday. Orange tabby Tater Tot settled into my clean laundry on the bed. I pulled away as many pieces as I could without disturbing her, playing some weird cat Jenga. She ended up napping on a week's worth of undies and socks.

Red is slightly out of our usual palette of pink and purple, but we haven't gathered any flowers for our feed bouquet in a while, so we'll happily add this perfect beauty. Thank you, @bookish33.bsky.social!

luscious bright red rose,
eyes closed, I inhale its scent,
narrowed eyes watch me

A vibrant red rose in full bloom takes center stage, surrounded by green leaves in a beautiful garden. In the background, a kitten peers curiously from behind the foliage.

Vance is a puppet for whoever pays him to be. Today it's Christo Fascists. When Trump is dead, he's president, Dems regain Congress (they will) and come for him, JD'll revert to baby-faced clean-shaven innocent who never meant nobody no harm 'cause he's just a dumb hillbilly like his book said.

I have yet to see any MAGA fuckwit offer a rationale for WHY Qatar suddenly needs an air base on this continent. No American country or Canada is threatening the Middle East, and Qatar isn't backing any war here because there aren't any.

The quid pro quo for the jet is so obvious, it reeks.

Nobody should post this pic. Epstein has no legs in it, so it's obviously a fake. There are plenty of real photos of Epstein and Trump being disgusting pigs around young girls.

Love it!

Cats Working @catsworking.bsky.social · 1d

If Coney-Barrett says the court isn't into "finally resolving issues," then what the fuck is the point? If all SCOTUS is good for is kicking cans down the road and perpetuating injustice to keep their own skirts clean, then let's get rid of them. They're the ultimate arbiters of nothing.

Cats Working @catsworking.bsky.social · 1d

Not excusing Trump the probable incestuous pedo, but this photo has been faked so many different ways, it's worthless. If the arm on the right is Epstein's, it means both Trump and the girl are sitting on Epstein's lap. I know Donny and Jeffy were BFFs, but I don't think they went that far.

Cats Working @catsworking.bsky.social · 1d

I've said all along that we need to make those fat-cat bastards in Congress far more afraid of the voters than they are of Trump. That's the only way we'll ever get them to do the right thing and purge Trump and his corrupt regime.

That, or Trump drops dead and his MAGA regime falls apart.

Cats Working @catsworking.bsky.social · 1d

Are you as tired as I am of all these well-meaning independent journalists using the word "BOMBSHELL" in nearly every headline? If I see that word now, I don't read or watch. It's bullshit. Had it been true - even ONCE - we'd be emerging from this nightmare, but we're not even close.

Cats Working @catsworking.bsky.social · 1d

I wish everyone would stop grasping for the slightest bit of sense in this batshit little tweet. Yes, it begins with a lie we recognize, then devolves into "very good people" owed "big apologies" (by whom, for what?) a "scam" (how?) and DO SOMETHING (who? 4 years later?). Trump's mind is GONE.

Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 1d

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?
