Racism is a feature, not a bug in the Trump administration. It is an open sewer of white supremacy, where the lightening of America’s complexion is a primary driver of public policy

All the GOP “election integrity” lies are about satisfying Trump’s sickness.

Trump: “You know, they rigged the second election. I had to win it, had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would have had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego, though.”

For years, conservatives gaslit America. They claimed they weren’t racist trash, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. They portrayed liberals as having TDS.

Trump’s latest Obama/Ape post removes all doubt about who he and MAGA truly are.

Elon Musk ruined Twitter. Jeff Bezos destroyed the Washington Post. Mike Johnson wrecked the House. Mitch McConnell sullied the Senate. Donald Trump shattered America.

We will never forget these toxic villains who abused their power to raze our democracy and stain our society.

Sounding an early alarm!

If the US Supreme Court overturns bans on conversion therapy, the “ex-gay” quacks from The Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity have promised to “be the primary resource…for children resolving their unwanted dysphoria and same-sex attraction.”

Trump’s clarion call to Republicans to steal elections is an Act of War against democracy. As a Constitutional officer, Trump’s legitimacy rests solely on a constitutional-based system. The President already staged a J6 coup. Another won’t be tolerated by the people.

Looking back, there is not much more we could have done to prevent this unfolding national catastrophe. The Republican-project to sabotage American democracy has been ongoing for decades. It’s a miracle we didn’t get to this tipping point sooner.

Thank you @springsteen for standing up to the unpatriotic garbage that poses as our government. Your anthem for our times is documenting the sordid history under the @realDonaldTrump regime.

Trump is a mentally unstable crybaby who can’t accept that Joe Biden cleaned his clock in the 2020 election. It would simply be pathetic, if not for the misuse of taxpayer money and the corruption of the FBI—bringing it into the service of The Big Lie.
