Patiently furious.
When something is flawed, leaders fix it, and rebuild it.

Idiots burn it down and dismantle it, because it's all they know how to do. To them, "leaving a mark on the world" means *any* mark, no matter how damaging.

This administration has no leaders, only idiots with an urge to destroy.

After the 2024 election, I made plans to shutter my consultancy that I had built up over a decade to being successful enough I could save ahead. 2024 was a *very* good year, but deep concerns over what the GOP would do to the ACA and Medicare pushed me to taking a 'safe' W-2 job w/ a health plan.

That which can be destroyed by the truth deserves to be.
If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

Referred to that Pentagon-aligned organization as the DoD during a work call, and had someone 'correct' me to "It's the DoW now, Trump renamed it."

"Well, it may identify as such, but it still says Department of Defense on the building, so I'm going with that."

They dropped off.

Winco is not offering their free turkey with $X purchase this year.

At all.

This is going to hit a lot of families *hard*, particularly those that can least absorb it.

Donate to your local food banks.

This is just step one. Convince the US populace that sure, this makes sense... then start to cull the same people from the *current* population.

Eugenics is eugenics. And it is evil, no matter what flag it wraps itself in.

Happy to report that the anti-trans candidates for our local school district got their asses handed to them.

The fact that 25% of the voters went for them is still disgusting, but losing by 50pts is a good start.

I hope they spent a *lot* on those big glossy banners they put up through town.

"How are we going to get through the next three years?"

Yeah, that's how I've been thinking too.

Look at him this week though... he's realizing something we should have already known.

He's locked up in here with *us*.

He'll break. He can't help it.

Keep pushing back, every front, every time.

Yes, just like his top grades, where he blocked release of any transcripts.

TFG is a festering insecurity wrapped in a burial shroud of shame, screaming his superiority at anyone in range to stave off the void that eats him from within.

I love that for him.
If it's true that he's in "optimal health," they should have no difficulty with releasing all of his physicians' reports, MRI report and his psychological workup reports.
Reporter: “Why did Trump get an MRI?”
Leavitt: “Trump will inquire with his physicians. As you all know, because you are all witness to it every single day, Trump is in optimal physical health.”🙄

Translation: No answer. Just gaslighting the press about his “optimal” health again.

Also, go vote to get rid of the rest of the dicks.

"'It's your fault I did that.'" - What every abuser says
1/2
ICE thugs pointed a gun at a pregnant U.S. citizen, with her little boy in the back seat, because she dared to film them on a public street. “Are you gonna shoot a pregnant woman?” she cries. “

You just put a gun on me!" And the agent spits back,
"It's your fault I did that."
Her fault.😡

Hello, @DHS? I'd like to report a psychotic terrorist destroying the White House...

What utter insanity.
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Which is the point.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Prediction: Now that he’s not going to be recognized as a Very Good Boy, Trump will flip over the Chutes and Ladders board, and Netanyahu will continue with the war crimes.

Expect a “I don’t want it anyway” poutfest and complete abandonment of pursuing peace in Gaza.

And Ukraine.

Somehow, my home address got mixed up with that of an educator at a nearby university, in the records of the anti-union (and predictably ironically named) Freedom Foundation.

These folks must be *terrified* of SEIU based on how many high-gloss disinformation mailers they send me.

Ter-ri-fied.

Watching Hegseth formally morph into the Secretary of War Crimes and Hairlines today was one of those utterly tragic yet utterly predictable moments.

Professionalism in the military is no longer a virtue, it is replaced with theatrical cosplay to appease Dear Leader.

Next up: loyalty oaths.
