Trump illegally fired 17 independent public servants whose job is to expose corruption.
One was investigating Trump’s newest billionaire buddy, Elon Musk.
Republican officials & billionaires are colluding to break the law & create the most corrupt administration in history.
There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller.
There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president.
And we call that Donald Trump.
If you think this is ok, something is wrong with you. Explain an unelected, unvetted, unconfirmed, individual who hasn’t been subjected to the same security clearances or higher as these civil servants has the authority to do this?!
This feels as if we are being attacked from within, FULL FUCKING STOP!
In a minute, I think they are going to continuously ignore court orders that are granted against them. You see what happens, America, when you put a conman convicted felon into the White House… HE DOES NOT ABIDE BY THE LAW.
It feels like y’all literally told the robber to come on in and rob us blind. 😡
Courage is not where you stand in times of comfort, but where you stand in times of discomfort… I’m ready to see some Republicans find their spines! We have to do what’s right, TOGETHER!
I am a private pilot.
You cannot stop a helicopter "very quickly" and listening to this talk about what pilots can or cannot do is disconcerting to say the least.
He knows nothing about altitude discipline, landing approaches or air traffic.
Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
I have a question for you, one I very much doubt you’ll answer even if you do manage to read this post all the way through. And yes, I understand that facts are about as useful to you as a cousin-less dating pool and a case of woke beer you can’t shoot, but for now at least, they are still facts, regardless of how you feel about them.
So, here goes… what I want to know is this - what has Donald Trump done since he returned to office that has benefitted you or your life in some tangible, measurable way? How has he made your life better?
Did pardoning or releasing the most violent January 6th insurrectionists make you safer in your home? Did shutting down the Office of Gun Violence Prevention make your kids safer at school?
What about the freeze on cancer research? Halting the operations and external communications from federal agencies like the FDA & CDC? Did you get a job you otherwise would not have gotten thanks to the dismantling of DEI?
Did ending protection from discrimination at work make your daughter’s professional path easier? Did stopping the aid we were sending to Ukraine and Taiwan put more food on your plate?
Did raising prices on your prescriptions make it easier for you to manage whatever medical condition you have which requires treatment? Does shutting FEMA down make you worry less because you live in a state recently ravaged by hurricanes or wildfires? Do you sleep better at night knowing that ICE is raiding offices and citrus groves in some blue state nowhere near you?
Because here’s the thing — eggs are now more expensive than they were a few weeks ago and in short supply due the Bird Flu we can’t get any official government health or food safety information about, gas and groceries are more expensive, school shootings are still happening, you’re still not going to get a job you were never qualified for, your daughter can now get fired for being a woman, the hurricanes the government won’t help you with aren’t going to stop coming, the immigrants who picked your citrus fruit aren’t showing up for work, the crime rate which was already lowering hasn’t decreased in the least and isn’t going to, and the bridge repair project your town has been counting on, is indefinitely on hold.
“Re-taking” the Panama Canal isn’t going to change any of those facts, neither is “annexing” Canada or “taking” Greenland.
Your taxes aren’t going down, prices are going up, your towns are no safer, you aren’t suddenly more qualified at your job, your daughter can be discriminated against, you don’t know and won’t know if there’s a public health emergency or if your food is safe, your roads aren’t getting repaired, your produce isn’t getting picked, and your government won’t be coming to help you in the middle of a natural disaster.
So, what have you gained? What will you get? Nothing he has done has improved your life. None of it is designed to. Is this what you voted for?
Is it enough that he hates the people you hate? Is that all you think you need?
Because from where I’m sitting, given the fact that he’s actually made your lives a heck of a lot harder, it sure as shit does look that way.
If ONE white woman accused a Black man of rape his career would be RUINED. If a Black man was convicted of one felony, his political career would be OVER.
A white man accused of rape by TWENTY SIX women and convicted of THIRTY FOUR felonies being elected POTUS is all you need to know about racism, white male patriarchy, and white supremacy.
This is Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post. She resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Donald Trump and billionaires supporting him from being published.
RETWEET if you stand with @AnnTelnaes!
This is Bruce Fischer, husband of GOP Senator Deb Fischer. He refused to shake Vice President Harris's hand while his wife was being sworn in for another term.
RETWEET if you think Bruce Fischer is a weak coward!
