Dear Leader’s choice to run justice is innocent of any crazy charges and allegations about 17 years olds. These accusations are being made by enemies of the people to undermine our efforts. #democracy

If our Dear Leader is to be successful
In making our nation great, it is important that people
Close to him are selected to help rule
Over us. #democracy

So the brain worm serial cheater who decapitated a whale & dumped a dead bear is gonna be in charge of our nation’s health and the chick who shot her dog and her goat and lied about meeting with Kim Jong Un is gonna be in charge of our homeland security.

We are living The Onion.

Our Dear Leader’s return to power. His glory will be magnified when all citizens prosper. #democracy

We must carefully control what literature is available to our children, and indeed all of our brave citizens, if we want to make our nation great again under the always great leadership of our Dear Leader

We cannot afford the vile
Weakness of academic freedom and free speech if we want the Dear Leader to be successful.

I’m so old that I can remember when America had presidents and attorneys general who didn’t have mugshots.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

I understand the sentiment to want to disengage, but experts on authoritarian goverenments remind us that it’s at the beginning of these regimes where the people have the best chance to fight back. That’s us and that’s now.

A guy who funneled thousands of dollars to teenage prostitutes through Venmo is Trump's pick for AG.

I wrote in "It Was All A Lie" that for so many Trump-supporting white evangelicals, it was about their prejudices and fears, not faith. They supported a man who was found liable for sexual assault for president, and now they get Matt Gaetz.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Donald Trump announces his 10-point plan to rebuild America's school system:

Among his promises is teach patriotism, bring back 'school prayer, and fire teachers who disagree.

This is how our freedom ends.

They poison the blood of your country. Thea’s are eating cats and dogs. He says we need camps and mass deportations. Sound like anyone in history?

Trump will begin operations to deport millions of undocumented immigrants when he starts his term, campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The goal set by the Trump campaign is to detain and remove 13 to 25 million people, they plan to indefinitely detain them across various camps.

The operation is being called "the largest deportation in history" and it is estimated that it will cost around 88 billion tax dollars to complete. The current US prison population is only 1.8 million. It is estimated that they could remove 1 million people per year. Experts estimate families may be rounded up together, including individuals who are not illegal, including green card holders or citizens born to illegal migrants. Future Trump proposals also include backtracking on green cards that have already been granted and exploring legislation to remove the citizenship of those born to parents not born in the US.

Economist state that the mass deportation plan, if carried out as described by the Trump administration, will worsen the housing crisis and create an economic crisis in the long run.

1/13 Trump's Secret Administration: south african billionaire oligarchs, with backing from russia and china, have succeeded in seizing control over the United States, and the majority of Americans are totally indifferent! How dumb can they be?

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

Holding back tears: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this country great, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech, for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth, for democracy, for decency, for everyone who voted again him, and guess what—it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too, you just don’t realize it yet” @jimmykimmel @JimmyKimmelLive
