Trump just said out loud that he hates his opponents and doesn’t want the best for them. Think about that. The president of the United States openly declaring that his mission isn’t to unite the country or serve all Americans, but to divide, punish, and destroy anyone who doesn’t worship him. That’s not leadership, that’s authoritarianism dressed up as patriotism. No decent leader in history has ever built a nation on hate, and yet here we are, with millions applauding a man who proudly tells us he has no love for half the country. If that doesn’t terrify you, it should.
Condemning another absolutely disgraceful act of gun violence. My thoughts & prayers are w/ Charlie Kirk & his family in this terrible moment & we are all grateful for first responders who immediately jumped into action.
We must categorically reject all violence in our society.
The shooting of Charlie Kirk is an atrocity that should shock and anger all of us, everywhere on the political spectrum. This sort of violence is wicked, immoral, and un-American.
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
Trump just said "This isn't my war. This is Biden's war," when talking about the Putin attacking Ukraine.
Biden didn’t “cause” Putin to invade Ukraine. That’s a MAGA bedtime story for idiots...and there are plenty of them.
Here’s the truth that burns:
Putin’s been salivating over Ukraine since 2014. He grabbed Crimea under Obama...spent years destabilizing the east...and made it crystal clear: he wants the Soviet Union back.
Biden didn’t give him an inch. He blew the whistle early... made the invasion plans public...rallied NATO...and unleashed sanctions that strangled Russia harder than anything in history.
Biden armed Ukraine with weapons Trump tried to block. Let that sink in.
Trump...the guy who called Putin a “genius”...was the one holding back aid.
Putin didn’t invade because of “Biden weakness.” He invaded because Ukraine was slipping out of his grip and into the West’s arms. That terrified him. That’s why he rolled the tanks.
So next time some keyboard clown, or a dipshit like Donald Trump says “Biden caused the war”...you tell them this:
Putin waited; because with Trump in office...he didn’t have to invade...he was getting the West gutted and NATO undermined for free.
Putin didn’t fear Trump. He owned him.
And that’s the ugly...G’damn truth.
@TheMaineWonk@realKyleKeegan I bought the same steaks last Friday to grill same pricing. I love steak, but… I may have to cut back. I was in shock when I saw the price.
@CNviolations@pariagoto That’s the way I plan on doing it. Not going to give my hard earned money to a broken medical system. If I get seriously ill I will choose my own path.
@realTuckFrumper Couldn’t agree more. America should be ruled from the middle, somewhere between right and left wing extremism. No more giving from the poor to give to the rich. There are some that take advantage. I say the rich always win. I am an average middle class American.
@RpsAgainstTrump I was 11 years old when this happened. I will never forget my Mom’s anxiety and total focus on the news. No Brady Bunch for us. Of course this is when we had real news, not the spin masters of right and left news media. I want news not opinions. Thank you for your attention….
🚨So let me get this straight…
Donald Trump can:
🔹Order the Smithsonian to scrub his name from an impeachment exhibit—even though he was impeached twice
🔹Order the FBI to redact his name from the Jeffrey Epstein files—covering up his ties to a known child sex trafficker
🔹Order Texas to redraw congressional maps—illegally—just to secure five new Republican seats before the midterms
…and nobody’s stopping him?
Not the courts.
Not Congress.
Not the Justice Department.
Not the so-called “free press.”
This isn’t democracy.
This isn’t oversight.
This is dictatorship in broad daylight.
The man lost the popular vote twice, tried to overthrow the government, and is now literally rewriting history, rigging elections, and burying his criminal connections—and America is just letting it happen.
Y’all impeached Bill Clinton for lying about sex.
But Trump is out here running a full-blown fascist operation with the FBI, state governments, and national museums bending to his will.
At what point do we stop pretending this is normal?
At what point do we call this what it is: a white supremacist autocracy propped up by cowards, collaborators, and a complicit media?
