Not to worry, everything was accounted for
It's been a while since I had a brand new role model. Feels good

Not to nitpick, but just reminding that blocking keeps the trolls out of your feed/replies completely, whereas if you mute, others can still be "infected" by them even though you don't see it. (Anyway, everyone use bluesky as you prefer; that's what is great about it.)

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...
I'm with you, but I'm also of no help. What is the juice plan?

This is chilling. The President is asserting authority to kill completely outside of the law. And plans to keep at it.

We are not at war, and he is ignoring the criminal laws that actually apply (eg, murder).

No limiting principle stops him from doing this to others he labels "terrorists."

1/3
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Oh look, it's another immigration agent in Chicago with his body-cam turned off--*contrary to a federal court order*

Again, cameras that are recording have a flashing light. This one doesn't

BTW, this agent is in BORTAC, border patrol's elite special ops unit

Exactly. (And also, egads, those other problems with it)
It ain't his though
And Trump has been explicitly pushing for the Duterte approach in speeches since at least his first term

The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat.
And Congress is letting it happen.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social

What we have here, in addition to Trump's gaudy, vacuous bric-a-brac he has glued to wall in the Cabinet Room, is our monumentally incompetent SecDef telling the most unhinged president in history about an attack on another civilian small boat, this time in the Pacific.

“We will rebuild the White House as it was and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, the Trump Organization, and his family.”
None of this is legal! People are choosing to break the law! Other people are choosing not to hold them accountable! What the fuck!!!

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.
lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

Not to go too Dubya here, but they actually hate us for our freedoms
In all its history, no person has hated this country more than Trump does. The runners-up are the millions who sicced him on the rest of us
trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors
Exclusive: Leaked documents detail Trump's plans to open East and West coasts to offshore oil drilling.

i hope that a governor spanberger and a democratic general assembly uses its authority to discipline the university for its capitulation and to remove these BOV members who have decided that they work for donald trump and not the people of the commonwealth

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

You guys, the person exercising the powers of the presidency is constitutionally disqualified from holding the office and he’s having the White House bulldozed. This is true and it’s happening, right? I’m not dreaming this?
Is this not what our forebears developed tarring-and-feathering for?
BREAKING: The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials, a significant expansion of President Trump's original stated plan.

Trump said in July that the $250 million project “won’t interfere with the current building.”
