Trump/RFK jr/Hegseth:
"We are proud to announce final victory in our fight to kill democracy, restore white privilege, repeal human rights, subvert education, crash the economy, abolish medical science, alienate our allies, imprison our opponents, and turn the Constitution into toilet paper. MAGA!"

Too many Dem politicians and voters are still talking about impeachment and the 2026/2028 elections. Those would be remedies if COTUS and the rule of law still applied. They don't. The system that prevented tyranny in America has undergone a malignant transformation to a system that serves tyranny.

Unfortunately, the rightwing bloc on SCOTUS has no fealty to the Constitution.

Pam Keith @pamkeithdc.bsky.social · 23h

Fun Fact: no President of the United States has “plenary authority.”

The Constitution was written and structured to avoid EXACTLY THAT!!

People who publicly state otherwise violate the oath of office and should be removed.

They are incompatible with the idea of fealty to the Constitution.

Mike Johnson is America's loudest and phoniest Christian.
Serious Christians give consent-by-silence to his desecration of the Christian faith if they do not denounce him as one of those to whom Jesus referred at Matthew 7:21-23.

Watching the Speaker of the House spread wild conspiracies is beyond disappointing— it's clear he's getting desperate.

He knows that everyday Americans see that the REAL reason we're in this shutdown is his refusal to call House Republicans back to do their job.

Schools around our area are creating parent patrols - response teams to raise alerts if ICE tries to snatch teachers.

THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

So the Nobel Peace Prize was given to someone who fights authoritarianism and was not given to an actual authoritarian.

Makes sense to me.

If I were a cynic, I might suspect that there is a link between Qatar giving Trump a $400 million jet as a gift and Trump approving a Qatar military base in Idaho.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Remember all those 2A-fanatics who swore they would use their guns to fight government tyranny? Yet now that government tyranny is upon us, they are delighted.
Similar to all those self-styled "constitutional conservatives" who now cheer as Trump turns COTUS into toilet paper.
