@EdforBoston I wonder if you had held BCC Pres. LB accountable when i went before the council TWICE regarding her "secret meetings" with city officials that we were documented to be a part of but were excluded from, maybe things would have turned out differently for you. ?
@elonmusk Trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist....but what it does do is disenfranchise millions of non-white voters....which is exactly what Elon wants.
@peacenikjohn@archeohistories He never flew anywhere because his manager had a phony passport and didn’t want to leave the country because he had warrants for his arrest under his real name, so he manipulated Elvis to be afraid that people are gonna try and kill him if he left the country
Donald Trump is weaponizing the shutdown against our schools.
Firing educators means kids will lose the mental health care, tutoring, and special education they need.
The White House needs to end this shut down and reverse this decision immediately. https://t.co/5K1Uutg4XJ
You’re all brainwashed . He did this to get political brownie points. Why don’t you ask him where that GoFundMe money that his campaign manager has been collecting is actually going seeing as it’s not designated for any particular charity his campaign is literally the owner of all those millions of dollars people are donating to the victims of the flood. Let’s watch and see how much of that money money actually goes to victims.
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

65% of the voters in the SC Republican primary think President Biden did NOT legitimately win the 2020 election, according to a CNN exit poll.
Only 32% said he won legitimately.
We’re so screwed
Illinois judge, Robert Adrian, who said the left tried to cancel him after he reversed his own rape conviction to help a man avoid prison time, has been removed from the bench, after a judicial oversight body found he circumvented the law and engaged in misconduct.
Donald Trump took out a full-page ad calling for the execution of the now exonerated Central Park 5, called African countries “shit holes”, questioned the birthplace of our first Black President & said that Black Americans relate to him because he has been indicted.
He’s an unrepentant, unapologetic, blatantly bigoted racist
The fact that two Black women, a Black man and a Black female Judge are helping to seal his doom is absolutely fucking glorious.
On Friday, Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Woods, while commenting on the death of 16 year old non-binary student Nex Benedict, said, “I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma.” (Gender fluidity)
