Because millions of Americans voted for a grifter government.

Clearly many people in the opposition to Trump/GOP find it easy to criticize Trump, his admin staff, elected Republicans, but they can't directly criticize Trump voters. Perhaps, their family, friends, neighbors, people in their community, who are the backbone of (CHOSE) all this evil.

The killer's stalking, bullying, narcissist misogyny, broadcasting with the same smarmy smugness as Charlie Kirk, no surprise he's a fan or that he likely got validation for his misogyny from Kirk. He too was convinced he was a "good guy."

That’s where Hitler/Nazis got ideas and tactics.

Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf about admiring the U.S. treatment of Native and Black people. Nazis lawyers were sent to learn how to codify inequality based on racism. The U.S. existed this way before and after Nazi Germany existed.

It's the new highways through Black neighborhoods: Data centers

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 1d

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Listening to Josh Hawley whine today about how his phones were tapped (they were not), it's clear that so many of these Republican shitheels think they have the right not to be investigated. There's no such right. If a legal question arises, we are all a subpeona away from records being reviewed.

Josh Hawley: the Biden department weaponized the FBI and tapped our phones!

Ummmm, yeah. You were actually causing an insurrection at the time and probably in communication with oath keepers and proud boys, you treasonous, feminine, fascist cocksnot.

Bondi got her job because she's Trump's lawyer—and he made her his lawyer because she was willing to take a bribe to drop the Trump University case. The only reason this person is on TV today is because she is corrupt, willing to commit federal crimes, and will lie for Trump. All America knows this.

Kristi Noem's goons raided a car wash in August and shattered a guy's leg. They then held him in custody under 24/7 supervision in a California hospital, hiding him using various fake names. They interrogated him but did not charge him. It took a judge's order to make ICE let him go.

We know he doesn’t believe in God - surely his life proves that - and likely never seriously considered being “good” except for a few years in childhood (maybe). This sounds like narcissism and mockery at the idea of being good, ethical.
