This is how the Young Republicans of Texas & Turning Point USA at Clemson addressed the racist, Nazi-supporting & rape apologists of the Young Republicans organization, recently exposed by Politico.

Repulsive & unacceptable. This is not okay.
Copied post from Twitter, where a person asks, "Have you denounced the Young Republicans exposed by Politico?" To which the Young Republicans of Texas replies, "No, and we're not going to" This exchange was then quote-tweeted by the Young Republicans of Texas, saying "It's that easy" To which a follow-up reply was made by Turning Point USA at Clemson, "Good stuff. God bless!"

Precisely this. ⬇️

(h/t @joshuaeakle.com)
Post from Joshua Reed Eakle's Twitter account that reads: "MAGA truly believes seven million people had to be paid to protest yesterday. They believe it because they’re so morally hollow, they cannot fathom what conviction feels like—what it means to stand up freely for something bigger than yourself. The very idea is alien to them."

Copy of tweet from X user @DWPippy that says, "In my opinion Trump's commuting of George Santos's prison sentence was about one thing. It was about Trump telling the world that he will decide crime and punishment in America, not the courts. As authoritarian as it gets."

Good grief. This is embarrassing.
Kid Rock (in a ridiculously "ornate" sequined red, white & blue costume & hat) casually & disrespectfully leaning on the Resolute Desk, with Trump seated beside him. A laughable image representing the clownishness of Trump's second term... so far. (It'll get worse, believe me.)

This trade war will be disastrous to all Americans, our economy & relationships with our allies. WTH.
Political cartoon signed by artist "Ramirez" depicting a military jet dropping a giant bomb labeled "TRADE WAR", while the 2 pilots have a discussion. The Captain commands, "BOMBS AWAY!"; the co-pilot replies, "BUT WE'RE STILL OVER AMERICA..."

Tariffs on Canada to be increased to 50%...

This is pure madness.
Social media post on 3/4/2025 by Donald Trump that says, "Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tarriff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by like amount!"

This about sums it up...
Political cartoon of Vladimir Putin with his feet propped on top of a desk that looks like the White House; desk name plate says "Putin". The American flag appears to be in the trashcan next to him.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

1978.

Being tethered to the record player was a normal thing we did to keep our parents happy -- but man, those headphones were heavy. 😂 🎧

P.S. Had no idea you guys were still around. Right Here, Right Now was 1 of my favorite songs. 💕

Unbelievable. This is what Trump encourages, unfortunately.

And this follows yesterday's confrontation, when Tarrio & his thugs tried to disrupt the Principles First gathering & verbally harassed former Capitol Police Officers (& Jan 6 heroes) Harry Dunn & Michael Fanone.

Disgusting.
Tweet about the bomb threat at the Principles First Summit in Washington DC.

My blood is boiling over this lie-filled post, parroting Kremlin propaganda.

Despicable & unforgivable that POTUS is aligned with Putin.
Donald Trump Truth Social Post 10:47 AM EST 02/19/25 Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..

Oh good grief.

A 10-year old is in charge of DOGE (& acting as our co-President).

From his juvenile name change to the Paw-Patrol looking logo, this is downright embarrassing to 🇺🇸.

Elon Musk is a national security threat.
Snapshot from C/Twitter where Elon Musk replies "Yes. And much needed" to a tweet by @ naval that states, "The Second American Revolution." (Context appears to be in support of and cheering on the radical [& unauthorized if not also illegal] changes DOGE/Musk are implementing.)

Elon Musk is a national security threat & has far too much power/influence already.

It's only going to get worse under Trump.
Under security clearance rules, Mr. Musk must report information about his private life and foreign travel, among other details, to the Defense Department as part of a process known as “continuous vetting.” That allows the government to evaluate whether someone with a high-level security clearance should continue handling sensitive information. But since at least 2021, Mr. Musk and SpaceX have not adhered to those reporting requirements, the people with knowledge of SpaceX said. He and his team have not provided some details of his travel — such as his full itineraries — and some of his meetings with foreign leaders, they said. He has also not reported his use of drugs, which is required even with a prescription, they said.

If using the Bluesky Directory to find starter packs:

1: Enter your search topic

2: Tap on the TITLE of the starter pack you want to use

3: Tap "Done" & the window will close & bring you to the starter pack you chose, where you can "follow all" or individually

Here's an example. Pretty cool!
