The core definition of authoritarianism is that the executive overwhelms the other branches of government and all checks on power and the situation of the president, or head of state, are removed

Look around, it’s happening now

Former Florida AG Pam Bondi received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation and four days later, she announced that the state of Florida wouldn’t pursue a legal case about Trump University.

And that’s who Trump wants for our AG now. Fucking delightful.

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.

Idiots.

To those still wondering why we lost a close election and what group Dems might have reached better, I say this: All this handwringing ignores the fact that more people voted for the convicted felon, sexual assaulter and insurrectionist.

Our problems run deep. Half the voters made an INSANE choice.

One of the real problems that need to be fixed.

If you’re more upset about a transgender woman using your bathroom than you are about a rapist felon running your country, congratulations, you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

No recess appointments, he’s trying to twist the law to bypass traditional vetting process.

RFK - anti-vax and conspiracy theorist. Yeah, he’s definitely qualified to lead HHS. What a joke.

So why doesn’t the GOP want the ethics report on Gaetz to go public? #transparency #honesty

Why can’t we have requirements for key positions in Gov? What do you expect to happen when inept peeps are nominated for important posts.
