Sorry to ruin good fun with political snideness, but I totally feel like this should be the theme song playing in the background whenever one of those MAGA barbie women takes the stage . . . .
Here's another good'un.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

Pretty damning evidence tipping the scales on the question of whether Musk is pro-apartheid.
Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die.
Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa.
For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —> adst.org/2021/06/amer...

I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

I've just called my representative and both my senators this morning. Thank you so much to everyone who gave me advice about how to do this!😅

Truth: I've never called a politician in my life. Ever. Even when terrible things were happening. Could someone who has maybe tell me what it was like and give me some kind of "script" for what I should say and how I should say it to have the most impact? I'd be grateful . . . .

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here.
What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

Let's be clear that “Christian” Nationalists aren't Christians.
People who promote hatred, cruelty, oppression and violence, “in the name of Christ,” are literally taking that name in vain.

Wow. The irony of David Sacks claiming (without evidence, of course, but it's MAGA, so duh) that DeepSeek stole from OpenAI by using it to train their models. Being all self righteous and outraged by it? After OpenAI blatantly stole from artists and writers in exactly that way? Karma's a bitch, huh?

Remember the good old days when someone saying that they're "Christian" meant that, even if they were hypocrites, they were at least nominally in favor of mercy and kindness? Those were good times . . . .

I have to say that this administration's trump-er-y and all the hypocrites jumping on board are weeding themselves out quite nicely. It's becoming increasingly east to know how to vote with dollars . . . . Go Ben and Jerry's! Go Costco!

Just read a post from one of my trumpery FB friends who called the inauguration "a great day for America." I kind of feel like we're in the Buffy episode "Superstar." You know, an alternate reality where people are adoring and admiring a weenie loser?

So you know how they enslave child soldiers by forcing them to do something so morally reprehensible that they have nowhere else to go? That's what Trump has done to every Republican senator who complied in confirming Hegseth. He owns them forever now, because no one will ever trust them again.

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"
The national archives is still doing its job for now.
