Just like Hitler! A hundred years from now school children are going to ask the same questions I did when I learned about Hitler. How were so many people duped? How was this amount of hate able to thrive? How did anyone think they should give this asshat this much power?

Some will declare fealty publicly. Some privately.

Make no mistake, they will all protect their own interests before defending the country that made them rich.

If women & pregnant ppl are being forced to carry life threatening, dead fetuses to term, mandatory vasectomies should absofuckinlutely be a thing. 100% of pregnancies, therefore abortions, are caused by penises, so either learn how to keep it in your pants Biff, or snip snip bruh✨

If anyone ever tells you that they are a Christian and voted for Trump , you automatically know that they are lying about one or the other.

My ideal follow:

- smart, civil, willing to learn and challenge
- tough, has a thick skin, doesn't sweat the small stuff
- can look up basic things for themselves
- wants to fight back, find solutions, not cry and wallow in self pity

If you're it, lemme know.

I'm eager to follow all 4 of you.

In case you didn’t know, this is the most attractive thing about running for office: so you be in a position to do favors for big money, and make bigger money that the government pays you, in the process.

(And Republicans don’t have the market cornered on this)
BREAKING: Republicans pushing Trump to ELIMINATE the IRS's Direct File program -- which allows you to file your taxes online for FREE

Why would anyone want to get rid of that?

Because giant corporates like H&R Block and Intuit (Turbotax) want to make you PAY MORE TO THEM

This is common sense. This isn’t a complex algebra equation. Companies are never going to give up even a fraction of their profits. They pass the cost off to consumers. Ie the cost of tp during the pandemic or eggs when chickens were dying of disease.
This last election showed that not enough people know how tariffs work.

Share around so Americans know they will be the ones paying higher costs. Not China, Mexico or Canada.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump.

"So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

When Trump says "we want our FBI back" what he really means is, he wants to make sure they can never investigate or prosecute him again. This is not democracy.

Looks like John Fetterman fooled us all.

In his “first truth,” Fetterman advocated for Trump to be pardoned from the NY hush money case for which he was found guilty of 34 felony counts, comparing the case to Hunter Biden’s and saying they were “both bullshit.”
