Courtesy of my most loud & proud MAGA relative, a ridiculous talking point against taking the time or effort to compost. Why live in fealty to the “climate change (hoax!) industrial complex”?

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

“Roughly two-thirds of all the livestock grazing on BLM acreage is controlled by just 10% of ranchers, our analysis showed. On Forest Service land, the top 10% of permittees control more than 50% of grazing. This … has been the status quo for decades.”

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

This is a fair and important question. Trump is a criminal, running a criminal syndicate from the Oval Office.

We are the laughingstock of the world, thanks to everyone who voted for a convicted felon & grifter as POtuS.
My first thought when I see Donald Trump running away from a crowd while holding something of value?
Definitely the idea that he’s selflessly delivering it to someone else.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Why are MAGAts aka “Christian” nationalists so obsessed with what other people do with their bodies? Except when it comes to pedophiles and oligarchs abusing children?
Not because they love freedom - religious or otherwise - though they throw that word into the same breath as their “patriotism”

Vulgar as this is, it didn’t get nearly enough air time from the press which was utterly appalled about Obama’s tan suit. Glad someone dug it up after the felon’s insane rant today.

37/38% approval is pretty much the same as the convicted felon’s 1st reign of incompetence. That is the MAGA base. Despite any signs or speculation that his support is crumbling, the cult is very consistent. They don’t want democracy. They blindly follow him.

💯 She is not a member of the resistance because she said things that were not flattering about the Kakistocracy. She is a true believer in MAGA and sees some of the more recent trump-fan converts like Vance and Rubio as the opportunists they are.
when you read this it is very clear that Wiles thinks she is flexing the administration's muscle. relatedly, it is also very clear that the White House is completely delusional about its standing with the public. they are high on their own supply.

Not condoning the murder of UHC’s CEO, but they are not in the healthcare business for our health. They are in it for the money and are massively profitable. A large part of their profits are due to practices that are aimed at denying care (and payments) rather than paying for it.

Omg, the cognitive dissonance of hearing Rand Paul say something I 100% agree with about how the convicted felon’s cronies need to stop doing all this fascist stuff
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

I’m not being callous or exaggerating when I say this: “Noem, Miller, and the rest of them do not care about any one who is not white or super rich.” This guy risked his life but the Kakistocracy doesn’t value what he did because they’re basically Nazis who don’t see non-white people as humans.
