Imagine being completely tied to a chair, while a toddler plays with a loaded gun in front of you. That's the trump presidency in a nutshell. #resist #trump

We are all that guy, whoever he is. Bravo, sir.

Trump is heckled for a third time at his speech in Mississippi: "SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!!"

You vote blue 1) to help improve the quality of your own life and 2) to take a stand against dictatorships by holding this administration accountable. You vote red to 1) spread your anger, lies and hate toward the same people and issues trump hates. The contrast couldn't be clearer.

Explain this to me. Exactly HOW does extending a voting deadline for registered voters who are being intentionally delayed from voting by Bolsonaro so they can vote constitute rigging the election?

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a vocal critic of U.S. President Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday. His opponent Flávio Bolsonaro refused to concede defeat and asked for the election results to be annulled due to a last-minute decision extended voting by two hours.

Trump translator 101: "Our country" = me and my billionaire donors. That's literally all he means. No one else. Remember this every time he says it.

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Every vote for a Republican is a vote that enables this sick, warped glazing. Remember this when casting your ballot.

Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

Ok SNL, you know the assignment. We'll be watching tomorrow night.

BREAKING: Katie Zacharia FIRED from her job as press secretary. An official has told Peter Doocy of Fox she is currently “transitioning out” of the role.

A less than 15-minute first presser from Katie Zacharia. Obviously, being tasked with telling clear and outright fabrications took more out of her than she anticipated.

I'm not as optimistic about a blue wave as many. Why? Almost all Republicans have taken Trump's "lie about everything & deny the evidence of your own eyes" strategy, & ran with it. And millions of gullible, bigoted rubes lapped it up. If the wave happens, GOP will find ways to prevent the transfer.

That "premise" being voter fraud. The slogan for the Nazi party was "Accuse the other size of that which you are guilty." GOP is lying about voter fraud - all the while attempting to cause voter fraud - because they know they have no prayer without the powers of nonstop lies and lawlessness.

And that's why I'm not optimistic for a good outcome. Every day I read about a new GOP plot to fix the election in their favor, or even cancelling it outright - thanks to a fictitious "national emergency". I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best. And I'll be only too glad to be wrong.

Just to expand on my last sentence: There's nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal. The GOP has nothing to run on compared to Dems, so their only resort is to cheat to prevent people from voting Dem. From the SAVE act, to seizing machines, to anti-mail voting. And all under a false premise.

I voted straight Democrat ticket. If you're voting Republican, it means you want more of: * Diseases like measles to run unchecked * Voter suppression * Rampant bigotry * A theocracy * A crazy, demented, lying despot who has no plan to help Americans * A forever war Easiest choice ever.

Vote blue if you want any reproductive rights to remain in this country. ⬇️

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

Jack Smith - "We proved beyond a reasonable doubt trump incited an insurrection because he couldn't handle losing." Republicans in response - "Do you believe in the tooth fairy?" "Do you believe in the Easter Bunny?" "You're a total dirtbag!" "Did you attend an Atlanta Hawks game in 2024?"

❌ Personal data requests ❌ Voter roll purges ❌ SAVE America Act ❌ Mail-in voting restrictions Now he wants to send ICE & feds to intimidate at the polls. He will try anything and everything to silence your voices under the guise of near non-existent voter fraud. He's TERRIFIED of losing his power.

That's the only reason. SCOTUS finally stood up to him.

Even the far right SCOTUS couldn't fuck this up. Thankfully, voting by mail remains safe, at least for now. Alito and Thomas dissented because they're absolutely delusional. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the Constitution which allows the president and the USPS to regulate federal elections.

18 U.S.C. § 597 makes it illegal to offer or make an expenditure to someone in exchange for voting, withholding a vote, or voting for or against a particular candidate. Just another in the long list of crimes he and Republicans are committing. Without consequences.

This planet is billions of years old, and somehow we're alive at the time trump is president, twice. Did we draw the short straw or what?

Uneducated, ignorant bigots will always be a much bigger danger to this country and to humanity than immigrants could ever hope to be.

Changing Lake Ontario to Lake America? Wait, that means.... S - Superior H - Huron A - America M- Michigan E - Erie Yup. That tracks.

MAGA is a collection of the most defensive, pearl clutching hypocrites ever. Jon Ossoff simply used the words "travels with Natalie" (nothing else), and they immediately overplay their hand with accusations, knowing full well they are defending one of the most notorious serial adulterers today.

With trump siding with Kim Jong-un and North Korea, I don't want to hear another word from MAGA about Communists when it comes to Democrats. Look at your cult leader, then look in the mirror.

Today was South Korea's turn to get their backs turned on by Combover Caligula because they wouldn't aid him in his war of choice against Iran. This deranged psychopath will turn on anyone and everyone on a dime for any reason whatsoever and claim it's in America's best interests. Truly disgusting

It's easy to see this country's priorities are fucked up when the government is more interested in buying shock gloves for its' lawless thugs rather than take care of its' brave naval service people who have been stranded for months without clean food and essentials.

I don't want to hear ANOTHER WORD about a $500 billion dollar ballroom when he's perfectly fine hiding in a catering cart.

President Biden never hid in a airline catering cart. He never left journalists on Air Force One as virtual sacrificial lambs. Because he's not a cowardly demented prick.

Andy Ogles can't leave soon enough. He is the embodiment of fascism, extremism and bigotry. Good riddance, asshole.
