Not doing their homework is a hallmark of this Administration.

It's easier for the AI billionaires to steal from content creators than ask permission. They feel only they have worth, only their work has worth. The artists, photographers, thinkers and content creators -- they think you should be considered roadkill and your property - free for the taking.

Trump would consider all the items on the GOP list to be good things: because anytime you can get away with those kinds of things and not be the one going to jail -- that's good thing.

Civil War is the Trump goal.

It is. Their combined ages equal 197.

I'm guessing they are working on finding a useable scenario and a scapegoat to explain how one person could destroy hundreds of thousands of documents and video in the Epstein file. When they find a useable explanation, that can be the game plan. It's the Republican way.

Eventually, they will swarm over the Chicago schools, zip-tieing those whose skin does't match the Republican color chart, and hold them hostage until their parents show up to be arrested. That's Donnie Dementia's vision for America.

Donnie's Little Johnson will offer up that the government is saving millions by not seating her any time soon. Of course, the Republican's shutdown is costing millions and Johnson feels House members do not need to come work -- they are non-essential employees.

If lies rotten your teeth, all we'd see is her gums.

Every day, she proves even further that she does not in any way work for the American people. She is only beholding to one felon. When it becomes necessary, she will gladly support the idea that no laws apply to the President. Pretty sure her orange jumpsuit days are ahead of her.

The Republicans in Congress own this. They shut down the government and sent home the non-essential employees (Congress). Usual MO -- Make things shitty, then blame the Democrats. The shutdown will cost millions, but that will pale in comparison to the healthcare costs average families will face.

Face it. Donnie told him to take another vacation (one of many this year when there's not much legislation of concern to the GOP (Grab Our Profits, Grift Other People, Give Others Poverty). It's as if Mike Johnson declared House members are "non-essential employees." Trump would agree.

The reason we have that law is because it was enacted back in 1807 and up until this year, no one's worst nightmare included a president who is 40 shades of horrible.

nsightful.bsky.social @nsightful.bsky.social · 2d

I'm sure the Congress that passed the Insurrection Act back in 1807 never in their worst nightmare imagined there would someday be a president who's 40 shades of stupid.

nsightful.bsky.social @nsightful.bsky.social · 2d

That will probably hurt Donnie's feelings enough that he'll either change the name of the Kennedy Center or burn it down. Right now, he's just concentrating on putting it out of business.

nsightful.bsky.social @nsightful.bsky.social · 2d

At this point, most of what the GOP (Grease Our Palms, Grab Others Pussies) does is an affront to God. Like posting the Ten Commandments in schools so kids can keep track of how many commandments the President has violated.

Just so you understand, we’ve also quit doing things legally.

nsightful.bsky.social @nsightful.bsky.social · 2d

Members of Congress not working, but getting paid. Essential government employees working, but NOT getting paid. It’s the Republican way.

Billionaires generally sit on their money and do very little that is positive for the nation. We should offer them a deal -- Eisenhower era tax rates (up to 92 percent) or a RMD (annual required minimum distribution) of their net worth. It would hardly diminish the wealth that they'll never spend.

If it's true that he and his son view porn, then it's likely he wears an asshat, thinking it makes him invisible.

ICE only hires guys who find that abuse gives them a hard on. They get bonus points for having failed an anger management class.
Every other government employee in the nation would be fired for doling out the abuse they do.
