And preventing it from becoming the norm ever again is the duty of anybody who cares about America.

It was a comical concept from the outset—that ANY living thing, coalescing from the thin film of life on one small planet out of billions in ONE galaxy among trillions of galaxies, would even be NOTICEABLE by any being who created the entire universe—never mind being "his favorite." How arrogant!

And now? Air bases on US soil!

It's kind of adorable when a five-year-old has an imaginary friend. It's unsettling when an adult does, and alarming when they tell you their imaginary friend is angry and vengeful, and will torture you forever for not loving them.

I'll grant you that it is the America Trump wants, but I refuse to "get used to it." When this becomes normalized, America is dead.

"No one" wants a government full of corruption and bribery? Better ask the MAGAs, because they seem perfectly fine with such a government, as long as their cult leader is at the top of it, and as long as the people they despise get HURT.

Conservatism, to some, apparently means repudiating anything human and decent inside themselves.

Ponyhome @ponyhome.bsky.social · 2d

I'll believe THAT is possible when I see it happen! They keep digging deeper, trying to find the depths of depravity that MAGA will not tolerate, but they don't appear to have even gotten close, yet. The celebration over "Alligator Alcatraz" showed that MAGA will eagerly out-dig them.

"Uh, Mike? Where that comes from is direct quotes from the president."

They "reformed" Medicaid the way amputation "reforms" a manicure.

The most pernicious, vile liars are the ones who can do it with a smile on their face, and the appearance of utter sincerity. That is the aspect of a successful criminal.

Published in the New York Times. Once he left office, he no longer had to play politics.

Is he talking about the U.S. Military?

Their "plan" was "Let us destroy Obamacare NOW, and we PROMISE we'll come up with something better... someday... maybe." What they presented wasn't a health care plan. It was a health care DENIAL plan.

Is Thune this incredibly stupid and gullible, or is he just hoping that WE are?

For once, he wasn't lying. That binder DID contain every single bit of his entire healthcare plan—a big, fat NOTHING.

Ponyhome @ponyhome.bsky.social · 2d

But before they can even begin to start with the concepts of an idea of a plan, they have to absolutely destroy ALL of Obamacare—right? And then come up with something "two weeks from now?" We've seen this dog and pony show more than once. Maybe SOME people are this stupid, but most of us aren't.

Apparently, Chuck Schumer is now the Commander In Chief of Congress.

The Republican Party in Texas opposed the teaching of critical thinking skills, so I'm pretty sure they think that "Critical Thinking" is "woke."

"I hear from Hoosiers every day who want Big Government subsidies to corn and soybean farmers cancelled, countercyclical payments cut off completely, and the $25 billion in federal money Indiana gets to be slashed to the bone."

Yeah, SURE you do. Big, burly farmers, with tears in their eyes.

And the rest of the time they're straight-up lying about everything. Wrong time, wrong date, and they claim they're a microwave oven.

He's the Ron Popeil of the Executive Branch.

9/11 was not effective in harming the USA. It pissed us off, sure, but actually damaging the framework and institutions of the nation? Bin Laden sold it to his compatriots that the entire US economic system would collapse if they destroyed the World Trade Center. He HAD to have known that was a lie.

Somehow she manages to say things that I might, possibly be agreeing with her about, and yet manages to frame it in such a way that it is STILL repulsive, stupid and hateful.

The terrorists only destroyed a few buildings. Trump has been VASTLY more effective in destroying the country.
