Politically Independent, Humanist. Hobby photography. Beside myself with grief, worry, and anger about this far-right takeover of the US.

Did you know Nixon never served a day in prison because he was pardoned?
But his Attorney General did.
His Chief of Staff did.
His Domestic Affairs Adviser did.
His Special Counsel did.
His campaign chairman did.
Even members of his re-election committee did time.

Look at them all sitting there like this is just another day of business. They have no idea how crazy they are acting, do they?

That America was founded during the reign of a mad king explains so much, doesn't it?

Jo Smith-Dromey @jsmithdromey.bsky.social · 1d

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Hillary Clinton is or at least was Methodist. Explains a lot, doesn't it?

It's no accident that this country was founded during the reign of a mad king. Explains a lot.

He lacks the authority and the whole MAGA movement is built on sand. Their 'founding' principles are proven false time and time again. Impeach. Start over.

Yet another fiction. I'm very concerned that ordinary, walk-of-life people are so detached from reality. People I know. People I'm related to. Gad.

If Trump were to die, I'm not sure MAGA would believe it.

Maybe she's thinking of the group "Anonymous"? I mean, they both start with A. Maybe she isn't thinking.

He meant to say he wants to "meet the virgin of Governor's Island'. lol.

Are there any republicans with good aim? Anywhere?

Jo Smith-Dromey @jsmithdromey.bsky.social · 2d

They're milling around and unarmed. Atrocious.

Jo Smith-Dromey @jsmithdromey.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah.

Jo Smith-Dromey @jsmithdromey.bsky.social · 2d

It's bad.

Jo Smith-Dromey @jsmithdromey.bsky.social · 2d

I don't know if we'll be 'finished', but it will definitely protract proceedings against this horrific regime.

WV resident: If the ACA's tax credits go away, I’ll simply go without. I won’t have health insurance, and I won’t go to the doctor because I can’t afford to.

That’s what this fight means—life or death for real people.

Someone shoot her in the eye with a pepper ball, then, if "antifa's" invisible force is real.

I have yet to see a viable or even a not viable health care plan from any Republican. Ever.

I can't tell you how dangerous a 110-year-old, blind nun is, but I'll bet she can't run that fast.
