“A force multiplier” in Charlotte.

On top of this idea being 💯 unnecessary, 💯 authoritarian, and obviously an appeal for Trump’s attention, this mother fucker’s district does not even touch Charlotte, or any other major city in North Carolina for that matter.

Mind your own fucking business Pat.

Don’t fucking cry to me about calling you a fascist if you defend any part of this shit.

At least own your fascism and don’t try to gaslight us with excuses about public safety.

Tim & Bill, there’s no “run for VP instead” loophole that Trump could use. The 12th Amendment prevents that and our Constitution is very clear about it.

12A text: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”

Trump can’t constitutionally run for a 3rd term, or for VP.

It’s sad that so many journalists know nothing about our 12th Amendment.

If it happens, it will be because they have just flat out ignored two constitutional amendments.

Which I totally see them doing.

The question here is does their bullshit argument have a legal leg to stand on. And if you look at the combination of our 12th & 22nd Amendments, it absolutely does not.
October 25, 2025 at 2:47 PM
The 12th Amendment is clear that one cannot run for/be VP if they’re ineligible to be POTUS.

Our 22nd Amendment is also clear that one is allowed to run for POTUS and win only twice, consecutively or not.

Constitutionally, Trump cannot run for a 3rd term. But yes, obviously he will try regardless.

Obama called this shit over 14 years ago.

The gaslighting is expected but still, wow.

MAGA continues to try to rewrite history about January 6th and sweep their unbelievably brazen hypocrisy under the rug. Don’t EVER let them lecture you about defending shit after Jan 6th, ever.

They lost whatever credibility they had left after that day.

Trump wants to be the real big brother.
October 8, 2025 at 4:19 PM
Trump loves quoting random accounts telling him what a good boy he is.

Turns out if Trump is president shutdowns do still happen, this is now his third.

The last shutdown, which was also under Trump, was the longest one in American history at 35 days.

The point: Trump and MAGA are full of shit.
October 2, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Well would you look at that… Mr. “leadership” himself chiming in during Obama’s presidency about who is to blame for government shutdowns.

Hypocrisy is Trump’s love language. There’s always a quote somewhere demonstrating that Trump, per usual, is completely full of shit.
October 2, 2025 at 9:26 PM
Trump is trying to push apolitical government workers into using MAGA talking points in their out-of-office messages to blame Democrats for the shutdown.

“Some civil servants, who are supposed to be nonpartisan, are being encouraged to push out the messages as well.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Trump going after perceived “enemies” using state power is fascist, and there are endless examples throughout history of the downward spiral we’re in with a vindictive president who can’t accept criticism, and who does not care about the law unless it’s used to punish anyone he feels like punishing.
September 24, 2025 at 9:24 PM
Trump is 💯 a fascist. The faster the bulk of the media and the public figures this out and let’s go of their normalcy bias, the faster we can appropriately respond to this kind of crisis.

This is a totalitarian threat from a wannabe dictator, do not obey in advance. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
September 22, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Trump is a fascist to the core.
September 18, 2025 at 8:44 PM
Trump was always a fascist if given the chance to wield power again, so the road we’re headed down was inevitable. He didn’t know what he was doing in the 1st term, but he had 4 years off to think about it.

This entire term is about silencing critics, rewarding his friends, and consolidating power.
September 18, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Ironically, it’s true.

Not that it matters since Trump is torching our constitution faster than the Reichstag burned.
September 18, 2025 at 1:25 AM
We told you Trump was a fascist, you wrote us off as alarmists. We told you to read Project 2025, you said Trump had nothing to do with it.

You ignored the warning signs from the 1st term and ignored his attempts to overthrow the government on Jan 6th.

This shit was inevitable if he got reelected.
September 17, 2025 at 11:23 PM
After all the attempts by MAGA to blame Democrats for Kirk’s assassination, using dangerous rhetoric as if the entirety of the middle/left was in on it, and declaring war on half the country, there is a chance that right-wing trolls might have stirred up an unstable person towards one of their own.
September 12, 2025 at 7:46 PM
💯 Exactly right…

Violence has no place in America, politically motivated or otherwise.

It’s foolish though to ignore the correlation between our present moment, and those who pushed the temperature endlessly higher with politically motivated, dangerous rhetoric that’s disconnected from reality.
September 10, 2025 at 10:07 PM
So we’re just going to pretend that Trump’s team didn’t steal this design right out of The Bird Cage?
September 5, 2025 at 4:11 PM
Typical MAGA… Where unabated cruelty is the point. 🤦‍♂️

And let’s not forget that @barackobama.bsky.social called this shit 14 years ago during the White House correspondents dinner, as part of Obama’s righteous mocking of Trump, in response to his racist birtherism bullshit.
