Empathy and cooperation made America great, lust for power and greed are destroying it.

Our downfall is the result of the oligarchs dividing us with a culture war so they can enrich themselves. We will rise again when we unite with empathy and cooperation.

They don't think they need their peon supporters anymore. They are going for total dictatorial control. They are going to piss and shit on everyone that isn't a top 1%er that worships them.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. As soon as the GOP fractures into different groups, one or two factions may want to work with the democrats to at least have some power. Even evil idiots from the pits of Hell, know something is better than nothing.

I guess it depends on how many thousands they assign to the investigation. One of them, if there are enough, might accidently stumble upon the truth.

George Washington has been dead for a long time. When they discover this, they are going to be awfully disappointed that they can't arrest him and deport him.

A ballroom for ghosts.

It's just what a dying country needs.

We could do better, if we really want to, but do we have the will? Can we really stand up and defeat the evil forces destroying our country or are we weak and complacent?

Do we rise up or fall?

Psycho Pete @psychopete.bsky.social · 16h

We know who they are. So what’s stopping us from leaning so hard on the contractors that they back out— leaving the East Wing gutted, unfinished, and rotting in plain sight?

Let it stand as a monument to complicity. A visual symbol of societal decay. A ballroom for ghosts.

If Hell really does exist, it is because evil heinous creatures like the republicans exist and deserve to end up there.

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution

The White White East Wing has a big gaping hole.

He is on deaths door step and looking at the gateway to Hell. Yeah, he is insane mad, and he wants to punish all of us for his sins.

I had an epiphany, I think I know what to do. I want to sleep on it and process all the implications but it would transform the world. It's simple too and we can all easily do it.

I feel like I'm on some strange metaphysical trip. Solutions shouldn't be this easy. The overlooked seems unreal.

A general boycott of all is good but we need to destroy some. They need to know what power the people have. We need to focus, focus, focus. They respect power, we need to wield it.

The "Swamp" is just a GOP branding name for the government buracracy that made everything work for the people.

It helped them point at government as the problem so they could privatize/ monetize our government agencies under the guise of more efficiency and savings.

Release the Epstein files now.!

I miss the swamp.
The swamp got shit done.
The swamp worked for the people and protected the environment.
Draining the swamp is not healthy for democracy.

Only the most corrupt states and counties should be using these machines. Anyone with integrity should use something else. Paper ballots would be far superior.

Dominion Voting Systems is at the heart of countless 2020 election conspiracy theories. The company has now been sold, and its new owner has shared contrasting messaging about how much will change.

Does the sale of Dominion Voting Systems mean a transformation? Depends who's asking
