It’s crazy how quick the party of free speech and complaining about “thought police” have adopted the practice of being thought police themselves. They gleefully toss away their principles.

I hope someone is keeping track of everything Trump is doing. So that way we can just push the big reset button on day 1 of the next Democratic administration and delete everything he did.

I can’t wait until the next Democratic president declares via executive order that everyone is on Medicare. Seems to be the new precedent and totally allowed!

Worth remembering that when activists pushed Biden to declare a climate emergency & use emergency powers to accelerate the clean energy transition, VSPs scolded them. Ha ha, that's crazy!
Fun update: Trump has claimed emergency powers to substantially slow the transition & no one said shit.

Republican voters are so insulated from reality. The OBBB going through Congress right now is full of so much bad and unpopular stuff. But anyone who tries to tell the Republican base about how bad it is will have their points immediately written off as woke liberal lies. It’s really depressing.

The amount of money Trump is stuffing into his pockets is unprecedented and unfortunately barely noticed.
But what really pisses me off is he's making hundreds of millions of dollars while taking food from kids, jobs from veterans, and health care from people with disabilities.
