"For a myriad of reasons, America chose the monster.. The essential question now becomes: are there enough of us left who refuse to let us become a monstrous nation?"

America Chose the Monster

Trump is flooding the nomination zone with crap candidates, hoping the sheer volume of unqualified ignorance will guarantee at least some, if not most, of them will make it through the confirmation process. After all, when a sewer line bursts, you can't block all the turds...

This is especially troubling, considering Hegseth is a veteran. He should know that to force gay soldiers back into the closet is to force them to violate the very oath they take to serve, which requires them to be honest and not evade the truth about themselves...

We do not acquiesce!
We do not obey in advance!
We do not sit quiet, and wait!
Instead we resist!
We always resist!

Because resistance is the only way to ever make the abuse stop... #politics

Donald Trump - our national drunk-abuser in the 'wife beater' t-shirt - is asleep right now. He’s talking in his sleep. Spinning out his nightmares for our 'benefit'. We can see the abuse that is coming when he wakes up on Inauguration Day. What do we do then? The answer is simple. #politics

The questions then become: Do we acquiesce to the abuser's demands? Or do we resist, even to the point of bringing down even more of his wrath upon us? #politics

Worse yet, before he passed out he told you he intends to let some of his buddies into the house to help him abuse you. And all you can do is wait. The collective 'We' are not yet lost in this metaphorical abusive relationship. Come January 20th of next year, that will change. #politics

He’s the sweaty drunk in a ‘wife-beater’ t-shirt, passed out in the recliner while you sit across from him on the sofa praying the TV won’t wake him up. Hoping for a few moments of peace before he does wakes up, and the abuse begins again. #politics

In the meantime he took away the credit cards. He took your phone and the car keys. And he locked you in the house with him, where you wait, knowing at some point he will make you pay for whatever you have done wrong, even when you’ve done nothing wrong at all. #politics

The bad jokes continue to write themselves.

Under Trump, this nation will be viewed by the rest of the world as the equivalent of a toddler running with a pair of scissors in one hand and a nuclear bomb in the other. A dangerous laughingstock stumbling across the world stage...

One criminal wants to attend the inauguration of another criminal. What a surprise...;)
