So many members of my family voted for Trump in 2016.

I have no idea if they ever voted for him again because they’ve been dead to me ever since.

Whatever that is, it was made in Photoshop.

That’s not even a real ornament … or anything.

Looks like it could turn out to be an NFT.

If what this meme said were true, Christianity wouldn’t have survived the 3rd century CE.

This is wrong - the VP is not removed if the President is impeached. Reading it that way would mean that the President & VP would be removed if the Sec of Agriculture is impeached, and we know that isn‘t going to happen.

It‘s simply saying that all these offices are subject to impeachment.

I don’t think it would be very productive for us to count on JD Vance and Trump’s cabinet to remove him from office.

Stupid cunts like this make us look worse than MAGA.

Getting angry about these things is good, as long as you stay rational‎ about it. Wanting something to be different than it is doesn’t make it so. Saying obviously foolish things just blows your credibility and make us all look stupid.

Why are you bitching at me about it? I’m not deciding that nothing else can be done, I’m simply pointing it out as fact. I’m saying there‘s nothing else that can be done because there isn’t. And there doesn’t need to be - in a few weeks (at most), a judge will order these people their jobs back.

Paul Gino @paulgino.bsky.social · 1d

I’m saying the means we have to prevent those things is by going to court, and that’s what is already happening. You complained that no one was doing anything, and I explained that someone IS doing something - and so you accuse me of saying there is nothing we can do?

Try to make sense, please.

The only people empowered to do anything about it are the leaders of the AFGE union that represents them, and they are taking this to court.

Paul Gino @paulgino.bsky.social · 1d

I missed that part, but ok.

Paul Gino @paulgino.bsky.social · 1d

yeah, that'll teach us.

Paul Gino @paulgino.bsky.social · 1d

That's terrific ... now do the other 19,992.

She’s just stroking his ego like every other politician does.

For the first time in history, there’s a Nobel Peace Prize Loser.

Paul Gino @paulgino.bsky.social · 2d

Thats pretty much what they did.

Comfortably Numb @numb.comfortab.ly · 2d

They should give the Nobel Peace Prize to antifa.

Yep, thats the guy.

Wondering how much longer America will have any say over who’s in NATO.

And the Nobel Prize for the number of meaningless clichés one can string together in a single sentence goes to:

Scalise: "When a good day for you is defined by how much suffering you can impose on other people, maybe you need to look in the mirror and check yourself at the door and wonder what it is you're up here trying to accomplish."

No one - he makes it all up on his own.

… and just consider how much beer it would take to wash it down!
