#BlueSkyVets Republican lies has had far-reaching consequences for society as a whole. Trump's ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein represents a Damoclean sword over Trump's presidency, exposing the depths of his alleged involvement in pedophilia and exploitation. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

When you spend $45 million of other people's money on your dictator chic birthday and it's still worse than a roadside Taco Bell value-package party.

Absolutely correct @adamkinzinger.bsky.social. I keep waiting for elected Democrats to realize that they need to completely change their approach. This would be a great way to start and today would be a great time to do so.
Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong…
With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”

![Hannah Arendt quote meme about truth lies propaganda disinformation misinformation:
"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule
of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.
Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.
It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.
Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”
...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
