We keep talking like Trump has taken over Venezuela, WHEN IT'S NOT CLEAR HE'S TAKEN OVER VENEZUELA.
Yes, he's fucked things up that much.

That would require a moral compass from the Republicans who happen to control both chambers of Congress, but you already knew that.
A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

When I took AP U.S. Government in my senior year of high school, I got a good foundation of how the government is supposed to work. I took it for granted that my fellow Americans also got a similar foundation. After seeing this app for the last year, that clearly wasn’t the case.

Senators don’t introduce articles of impeachment, genius.

Google who the current Speaker of the House is and then get back to me.
why the FUCK aren't articles of impeachment being written up right this second

I swear Trump could start a war unilaterally and Bluesky would be more angry about what Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer have to say about it than the actual war itself.

Well of course. What would you expect from an Administration full of half-wits?
Becoming painfully obvious the Trump Regime has no clue what happens next. Not one clue. Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's VP has been sworn in as President. Immediately declared Maduro the rightful President and vowed to defend Venezuela's resources.

So I was a little productive trying to take my mind off of the insanity. I got a new charger for my iPad, picked up a prescription, got my flu shot and now am going to do a quick CVS run then order some matzo ball soup from my local deli. When I’m busy, I can’t get depressed, right?

So, since Maduro is an ally of Putin, do you think that Putin is going to release major dirt on Trump, ie: the un redacted Epstein files?

You want a meaningful impeachment? Then you’d better get your ass working to get a Democratic majority in the House and 67 Democrats in the Senate.
Dems still waiting to impeach for no good reason. Sure, you'll lose the vote. Put the assholes on record voting no. Far past time to be waiting in "civility."

That’s it exactly. The people whose lives are so immersed in video games are ridiculously detached from reality. I’ve seen it multiple times on this app.
I call it video game brain. There is always some way to push the buttons right or choose the right path to win.
But life isn't a video game.

It is so easy to believe propaganda when you don’t dig further and are so determined to believe whatever you want regardless of the facts no matter what even if you are drowning
Take this pic for example. I could claim I was this close up to the lion in it when I took it, but in reality… 1/

No tears shed for Maduro, an illegitimate authoritarian ruler. But what comes next? Trump unilaterally sent American servicemembers to remove a foreign ruler and his plan is that the U.S. will run Venezuela?
There are serious concerns about the risk this poses to American lives + national security.

Kamala Harris would not have illegally bombed a foreign country and kidnapped their leader.
All folks had to do was use common sense in the voting booth but apparently that was a bridge too far🤷🏾♀️
If you did anything other than vote for Harris you helped get us to today.

If you didn’t vote for Kamala Harris, whether it be by voting for Trump, 3rd party, or not voting at all, you bear the responsibility for what’s happening today and what will happen next.

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval.
People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is.
This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.
