Proof positive that having a brain is not a prerequisite for being an evil piece of shit.

Where was Reggie Jackson when we really needed him?

Someone needs to recruit extremely talented hackers to drain the investment accounts of anyone associated with the Trump crime family. And then distribute the funds anonymously to food banks, homeless shelters and clinics nationwide.

It was pretty obvious just from the way that message was worded that Trump thought he was sending a direct message. If foreign intelligence services didn't previously know he was doing that using Truth Social, you can bet they hacked that site immediately after they found out.

Yeah, but only 58 Democrats voted nay to honoring that miserable piece of shit Charlie Kirk. This country needs an immediate reset.

He was a DINO from the start, but realized his only shot to be a Senator was to pretend to be a Democrat and run against a horrible Republican candidate. He should be recalled by the citizens of Pennsylvania. Maybe when he loses his federal health insurance, he'll come to his senses.

He's worse than Manchin. Even that old West Virginia fraud would have voted with the Democrats on this issue.

Fetterman needs to go on the list for the treason trials that will hopefully come when this Trump/GOP/tech-billionaire coup is crushed. And honestly, I hope Fetterman gets the harshest sentence of them all.

You're a fucking disgrace! Put on a suit and resign your unearned Senate seat. You'll be tried with all the Republicans for treason once the actual patriots regain control of the federal government

Also, you have no idea that Trump was given info on the Gaza deal by Rubio. You actually credited Trump with "announcing" the deal. Were you not aware of this?

Without also impeaching, at a minimum, Vance and Johnson, getting rid of Trump won't change a damn thing. Even then, Thune and Rubio would be next in line. Not the tech oligarchs' choices, but does anyone think they won't fall in line?

So what happens then? Maybe Trump is impeached. Maybe the 25th Amendment is utilized. Then Vance is president and, with all the money and influence his tech-billionaire handlers can muster, makes sure to do whatever he can to prevent the midterms.

Then why are they allowing the state police to conspire with ICE? They have law enforcement priority over the state police in Chicago, but they're not doing anything to prevent their helping ICE on their raids.

We can hope that will happen, but nothing I've seen in the last nearly nine months gives me any confidence it will.

Mike O @mikeo331.bsky.social · 4d

Plenty of Democrats get money from police unions. Not as much as Republicans, of course, but Dems have proven again and again they won't bite any hand that feeds them.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Trump's crime family is full of faces like that: Miller, Vance, Hegseth, Musk, Noem, Leavitt, Patel, Bongino, Vought, Carr, Bessent ... I could go on and on.

Trump and his crime family know police in the U.S. are on their side. Put police together with Trump's ICE army and whatever National Guard troops he can force into action and his regime can continue ignoring court orders, kidnapping and killing innocents, and cementing their chokehold over America.

Look at Illinois. Gov. Pritzker has been one of the most vocal against Trump, but his state police are aiding ICE in their illegal raids. In Los Angeles, police assisted federal agents in attacking peaceful protestors on June 14.

One of the problems for politicians trying to counter Trump's illegal schemes is that he has brought the military, specifically the National Guard, into it. To combat armed troops, mayors and governors must have their own armed agents. And police, local and state, have shown an affinity for Trump.
