Retired PNW pickleballer determined to resist the fascist movement that has wormed its way into our country.

We can do it if we stick together and remain strong. Media backsliding is capitulation.
You stole my idea. I wasn’t sure if HC only allowed the feds to ignore laws of if that applies to states as well.

If they land in a blue state, we could round up Trump, Musk and that Miller guy, put them on Trump’s new plane and fly them to hell.

Has anyone else had this happen? A few days ago I noticed our neighbors had plastic bags over the side mirrors of their cars. Had no idea why until I saw the bird shit on both of our car’s mirrors. Do they sit on the mirrors, admiring themselves, as they take a dump? WTF is going on?

I see what you did there. Trying to trick us with logic. Diabolical.
Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

You mean the staged shooting that cost two people their lives? The one with the exact camera angle to match the Hitler photo? Someday we’ll learn the truth.
Pathetically needy Donald has replaced President Obama's portrait with a tacky fan-produced painting of the time Trump faked taking a bullet to the ear.

Not only does this show how thirsty Donald is, it also shows how inept his administration is. The new pic doesn't line up with the molding.

Why is anyone still on X?
The irony of Elon accusing everyone under the sun of profiting from some nebulous slush fund is that he himself is the recipient of $38 billion in government handouts.

This should be a 9-0 decision in favor of due process. If the Roberts court doesn’t reject the illegal seizure of an innocent man, we are all screwed. Next, Trump’s enemies would be targeted for disappearing.
Sotomayor: "The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal."

They are wrecking our country, Putin style. Their goal is to piss us off so we protest, leading to violence, perpetrated by his goons. This is what happened in Portland. He’ll declare martial law, suspend the Constitution and jail dems. Question is, will the military follow him or the constitution?

It’s 11:00pm and this 80yo veteran is heading to bed. I’m going to dream that Lawrence Tribe is arguing before SCOTUS that purges must stop, workers returned to their jobs, Musk’s bullies barred from agencies, stolen data must be destroyed & only congress can break treaties.

One can dream.

Caught a few moments of Trump’s televised cabinet meeting. Trump was droning a version of his grievances. Saw Musk there, in his power stance, lecturing, as he does.

Trump’s cabinet meeting was not focused on making the lives of Americans better. It was a media event for the king and his jester.

Donny, I get you want to play mailman. Growing up I thought it was the best job. They wear shorts & drive from the wrong side.

But, postal peps work 6 days a week. They work in bad weather and rain head is not you. Folks need mail & packages, like meds, on time.

KEEP YOUR F’ING HANDS OFF THE USPS!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Note to Cliff Bentz (R-OR):

“As a fellow Oregonian I’m urging you to stand up against Trump’s attempt to take over the USPS. You won your election via vote by mail. The USPS is crucial to your constituent’s welfare. And, it is specified in the Constitution. Pls save the USPS from this power grab.”

Hearing Speaker Johnson gush that Netanyahu “has done do much for peace” is vile and disgusting propaganda. Bibi is responsible for the killing of over 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. Clearing out Gaza for real estate speculators is not the peaceful solution they think it is.

Let’s put a pin is this:

“They all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too. You can’t have a security detail for the rest of your life because you worked for the government.”
Trump’s decision to take away Dr. Fauci’s security detail is insane. Fauci is an American hero who’s received multiple death threats, and by god this man deserves to be protected!

I want to apologize profusely to the attendees of the annual Davos Economic Conference that had to listen to some idiot drone on about how great he is.

Collaborators, they’re called collaborators.
Here are the accomplices responsible for Trump stealing the election— each billionaire made billions more — and communities most in need get even poorer. Big Tech bought the election — inauguration PIGS!!!

Gettysburg is remembered for the words spoken. MLK’s Dream speech at the Lincoln Memorial lead to this day of remembrance of a great man and leader.

We have work to do to hold onto the dream and promise of America and not let it fade away.

I’m sorry to see Bill join the list of collaborators.
Another billionaire chooses Trump. This time, it’s the historically liberal Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

Gates told The Wall Street Journal that he was “impressed” by the president-elect.

I just can't even. Does anyone care about justice, truth or democracy?

Donald Trump’s filling his cabinet with billionaires and industry insiders.

If he wants to show that they’re not just working to line their own pockets, he should start with a strong ethics pledge.

I was hoping that when Obama was sitting next to TFG he’d ask to see the scar from the bullet.
🤔 I certainly think so.
I still have so many questions about the entire ‘episode’. Just me?

Yes, yes, yes!!
Since we’re all talking about Greenland and Canada now would be a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico and Washington, DC actually should be added as the 51st and 52nd states.
January 8, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Don’t think he’s thought this through. Annexing the ten Canadian provinces as states would mean 20 more senators and 5-15 congressmen. Cool.
So Trump is going to annex Canada and start WW3 the soft way?
January 7, 2025 at 6:31 PM
Brilliant, the US would be obligated to defend Canada from an attack from the US.

Another reason he wants us out of NATO, as directed by Putin. Also, it’s not an attack. It’s an “integration of Canada”. It would be stupid if it weren’t so dangerous.
Canada is a NATO country and 45 will be inviting war if he attempts to invade Canada in any way. We may be nice people but we are not stupid.
