Now that voting is over, we must still use our voice to fight back. For those who made a mistake in your vote, it's never too late--fight for you! If we all use our voice to just fight for ourselves, we can come together to defeat what is coming our way.
Once again, this is far from presidential material. He's totally obsessed with opponents, retribution and revenge instead of the good of the Country. Paranoia is a horrible illness--they can't get the perceived wrong-doing to them out of their head. This our president. God help us. 🙏

Day 1 - one out. Keeping score. Last time, altogether it came to something like 76. A few every month to begin with. So much chaos, inevitable. More like MALA - make the administration leave again.

I keep hearing in the background how corrupt the healthcare industry on news about this recent murder. Yes they are, like so many other industries (including gov). But why are we in this mode of justifying, and normalizing outrageous behavior?

Trump starts taking credit for Biden's wins. Guess the nation is no longer failing (the election is over). He can only dream of making America as great as Biden did with all the challenges he had in house/senate. And now he's saying it might not be so easy to lower grocery prices. Shocker.

About 90% of nominations in this new incoming administration are billionaires.
Do you working-class folks who voted for them still think they are going to be better for your future than Harris? Think the "system" needs "fixing?" You'll get your fix. It's beyond stupid--voting against yourself sick.

Trump appointing industry lobbyists as well as CEOs who will now be able to regulate their own companies (or not) was utterly predictable, so much so that hardly anyone will remark upon it. Oligarchy has arrived

Fill the Swamp?
Trump’s appointments are putting lobbyists and industry leaders into positions of immense government power.

While I support anything he can do to protect these people from any danger caused by the next PRESIDENT of the USA just for doing their job or running for office,
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know Trump is planning to weaponize the DOJ against his perceived political enemies.
NOW: The Biden WH is discussing issuing pre-emptive pardons to those who will be Trump’s targets. Some names being discussed are Dr. Fauci, Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney.

So Korean people are a great example for us---they wasted no time, normalized nothing. How democracy, at its best, is supposed to work---of the people, by the people, for the people. (not of the man, by the man, for the man)
We need a better response plan now that we're done being stunned by J6.

Creep says "he wants to help Trump get revenge on his political opponents." Why. Since when does opponent mean enemy in this Country? Not in our schools, not in our politics. Let's not normalize this.

If I hear one more time how emboldened he is...because of election-I've heard it now 5 times today from MSM. We know---he wants to burn down the planet--we know. He’s been emboldened, nothing new. No landslide, no presidential mandate!

Yes, the fact that they want these things doesn't mean they will get them but the fact that he got away with every SINGLE crime he's committed while in politics (or out of) makes it hard to go there. Don't get me wrong, I'm ALL IN the fight..fight for democracy, rule of law etc. All in...

I will never, ever, for the life of me figure out how some have the power to continue to break or change laws, and WE, who are IN power RIGHT NOW and for 55d, can do nothing to stop it? It's one thing to break a law---but we don't even have the power to STOP others from breaking laws or not even to

I can't hear about one more nomination wherever I go. Don't care, just pick them, get it over with, attempt to rip our Country apart, so Senate can attempt to stop you and so we can get to the end of 4 years ASAP. Again. Already sick of it all and it hasn't even started. Meantime, tuning out. ✌️

It's been said that so many voters were too concerned with their personal issues like the price of groceries etc. to pay more attention to plans for the Country. As if they were separate.

Language is becoming even more important in this age of disinfo & gaslighting. Like overusing "woke" which I wrote about, the misuse of many terms for a rapist is growing. We need to call out misuse and misinfo as much as disinfo to slow the spread. I'm focused on both. An example--new cab picks as

How did awareness and respect for others become this bad word called "woke." Traditionally, a cultural term relating to racism--more recently, a political term turned into something bad. Being aware of other cultures is bad for whom?
