Trump hanging his supporters in DC out to dry in favor of an exclusive inauguration where only his inner circle and top donors can attend is the perfect metaphor for this administration and today’s GOP.
Whatever horrors we will face in the next four years, the ONLY people who cannot be blamed are those who voted for Kamala Harris. If you voted for trump or if you sat on the sidelines and allowed him to be elected, you are complicit. So don’t say anything to Kamala voters, don’t even look at us. We tried to stop this, you didn’t.
Kristi Noem, Donald Trump's nominee for DHS Secretary, babbles about her relationship with tribal members.
A reminder that she is banned from stepping foot on every single reservation in South Dakota by the tribes.
Every adult in the U.S. should be required to spend one month as a substitute teacher. This would ensure schools have the substitutes they need while fostering a greater appreciation and respect for teachers. Think of it as a civic duty, similar to jury duty.

This is my son Jack in the picture, but I've encouraged all 3 of my kids to read these 28 mindsets, approaches, and affirmations as often as possible:
1. I strive to play well, not to avoid mistakes.
2. I focus on the process (footwork & form), not the outcome (makes & misses).
3. I work on my game during The Unseen Hours.
4. I Play Present and focus on the play right in front me (the one that just happened).
5. I display confident body language, even when I don’t feel confident.
6. I quickly move to the Next Play after a turnover, missed shot, or a bad call.
7. I use encouraging self-talk to coach myself through challenging situations.
8. I focus on what I can control and let everything else go.
9. I trust my abilities, talents, and preparation.
10. I embrace adverse conditions.
11. I am not afraid to fail… it’s part of the process.
12. I acknowledge that how I think affects how I feel and how I perform.
13. I visualize myself playing well before every practice and game.
14. I listen to (and trust) my coaches.
15. I am the teammate I want to play with.
16. I welcome pressure situations because I know I am prepared.
17. I practice (and work out) with the intensity and focus of a game.
18. I am calm when things feel chaotic.
19. I don’t let physical fatigue cause mental fatigue.
20. I am comfortable being uncomfortable.
21. I think like a champion daily. A consistent mind creates consistent performance.
22. I visualize success: I see it, I feel it, and I believe it.
23. I have a consistent pre-practice and pre-game routine.
24. I embrace challenges and obstacles as opportunities.
25. I compete every play and I compete every day.
26. I learn from every mistake and every loss.
27. I work on my mental and physical skills every day.
28. I love hard work and I take pride in doing difficult things well.
NOTE: nearly every one of these mindsets, approaches, and affirmations can be used by adults as well!
When three people on top own more wealth than the bottom half of America …
When a handful of corporations control the economy …
When you get one vote but billionaires can spend hundreds of millions of dollars to elect the candidate of their choice …
That’s oligarchy.
There is not a single Cabinet nomination under consideration who is not there specifically because they will put the needs of Donald Trump above all else.
Not. One.
Joe Biden ended his presidency with:
2.9% inflation.
4.1% unemployment.
43k Dow Jones.
Manufacturing boom.
Gaza ceasefire.
Medicare D $2k prescription drug cap.
Infrastructure boom.
Fastest economic recovery.
Covid handled.
But go ahead, tell me he’s a bad president.
The Jack Smith report is beyond damning.
Welcome back to the age of kings.
Only 3 historical figures have been elected after a failed coup/takeover attempt -- Napoleon III, Hitler & Chavez.
All 3 times they ended democracy in their countries.
This is where we are headed.
I do hope that people realize that when our American way of life is gone,
There will be no coming back no matter what anyone tells you
EVER
We have now normalized the corruption and the overt contempt for our Constitution and it will be exploited for generations to come
Reading the Special Counsel’s report on Trump’s criminal efforts to retain power, I’m just profoundly sad. Sad, not bcuz the 130 page report details Trump’s criminal efforts to overturn an American election. No. Sad bcuz the American people don’t care. They. Don’t. Care. And I never thought that would happen here. Not HERE. I never thought THE AMERICAN PEOPLE would be ok with someone who refused to accept election results and then tried to hold onto power. I thought WE would always care about that. But I was wrong. We don’t care. In fact, we just reelected the traitor.
That’s why I’m profoundly sad. I just can’t get past the fact that we don’t care.
Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump.
“All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.”
RT to ruin Trump’s day!
Jon Stewart nails it: Republicans want Californians to suffer so they can play partisan politics—but only when blue states are hurting. California pays more in federal taxes than the bottom 30 states combined, most of them red,but they’ll never admit that.
SAY IT PLAIN: They want to punish California because they think it’s the leader of woke!
How can anyone read Jack Smith's report and not realize how broken and corrupt the justice system is that someone accused of doing those things could successfully run out the clock with the help of compromised judges and be placed back in a position of power.
Special Counsel report: The incoming president of the United States would have been convicted of violent crimes against the Constitution if his case had been brought in a timelier manner.
