A Republic If You Can Keep It @arepublicif.bsky.social · 20h

The President of the United States is a child rapist & batshit crazy malignant narcissist…

He doesn’t want to go to jail so he never wants to leave office…

He is trying to foment civil war so he can evolve a police state & forego elections…

BECAUSE. HE. IS. A. CHILD. RAPIST.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

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.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

When feudal kings talk about "Antifa" or the "radical left," these are euphemisms for Americans who kept learning after high school and developed a positive vision for how our society could be, and these kings are insecure that if this vision spreads to more people, it'll manifest into a reality.

Kegstand went in front of the nation’s generals and said “no fatties or beards” then went directly to get Botox after. I wonder when aspiring to be a Ken Doll was considered national defense.

I was just watching a YouTube video, and the ad in the middle started with, "If you skip God, God will skip you too."

I watch Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Christopher Hitchens, etc so maybe that's why the ad targeted me.

My out loud response: "Fuck You."

Don't be afraid of moralizing pricks.
