How to get rid of Citizens United?
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.

Monsters don’t need reasons.
I’m thinking 7th circle punishments for this atrocity’s architects, managers & worker bees are appropriate:
•being immersed in boiling blood,
• tormented by burning sand,
• becoming twisted trees (my embellishment – lastly chopped to splinters with a dull ax).

Humanity has an existential need to comprehend violence, the use of force to dominate (physical, mental, emotional, social, political).
And comprehend ponerology, the study of evil.
Good resource to understand cultural/social violence is this.

The only answer that makes any sense to me is: with as much compassion, empathy, and conscience possible.

A great 🧵. It’s vital for people to understand that the Cantaloupe Caligula HAS no belief system. None. He mimics being human. His whole existence is about filling up a gaping maw of narcissistic need, and defending his hollow core. That’s it. He’s wholly owned by his multiple pathologies.
The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

I’ve said this for a decade. When you can satisfactorily define and distinguish between Marxism, Communism, and Socialism, then you can use them as a slur. If you can’t, you need to shut the hell up.
would really love it if our elected officials had to publicly define socialism and then explain why they voted against it

Weird. 🧐 You don’t suppose the House vote to “oppose socialism” is connected to this “theater” of the absurd, do you?
I think the predatory regime needs to refill its stockpile of villains. Anything or person connected to that scary word fits the bill. Any villainous other will suffice.

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?
