Arizonian May you live in interesting times. We live in bone chilling scary times, watching the “coup d’etat” but it's interesting. Democracy is fragile. We must fight to keep it. New here. This seems like Twitter used to be, before it got the aXe.

In America we don't blow up drug dealers. They are arrested, have a trial, and are sent to jail. What evidence does he have that they weren't fishing? We watch and nothing happens to him. No one else could get away with this. Is there no way out of this mess? No way he was elected legally.

Awarding that honor to trump would definitely end the respect most of us have for the Nobel Peace Prize. It would become just a political tool to honor and show support for dictators. trump always calls it the Noble Peace Prize. He couldn't get that award either, he's not noble.

Congress gave its power to trump. They have nothing to do except vote on his stuff, the way he says to vote, and then they are back to nothing to do. Fire Congress. They no longer serve a purpose in a dictatorship.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Ummm John McCain turned in the dossier to Comey, because Hillary Clinton didn't do it. Comey has to accept documents from a Senator or Congress would have a fit. Did they ever prove the Steel Dossier was wrong or just that there was no proof?

They really can twist anything. The GOP hates America and wants a dictator. Protestors love America and want to keep what it stands for. The GOP is about destruction of all our values and rights. Protestors are about human rights and democracy. Republicans sicken me. Republican is a dirty word.

trump: Who knew healthcare could be so complicated.

He's had 4 1/2 years to do it and hasn't a clue how to do it. He'd have to actually read a lot and learn a lot to even understand the problems. Ain't gonna happen.....

Maybe because Marco Rubio changed the risk corridors before it was voted on. It's better than anything republicans ever came up with.

This is a very good friend of mine. Everything he says is true. It's shocking. He needs our help to rebuild his life. Anything will help. I hope you will consider helping him. It's a good way to say F*** You to corrupt governments.

Hmm If it's a war zone, don't they teach you not to stand on the roof of buildings with your upper body exposed? They don't look like they see danger anywhere. Just a bunch of dancing clowns down below...... Cameras are crucial. I'm Sick Of The Lies.

And the Supreme Court Justices who lied to Congress and the American people.

Pope Leo has an up-close look at maga.

"Leo has previously distanced himself from his older brother, Louis Prevost’s MAGA views and ... urged Vice President JD Vance to respect ... “all people” wherever they’re born."

Chicago is his hometown and he is worried.

He kept freedom of speech for himself. We can still say what we want. But, he will punish anyone he wants for anything they say that HE doesn't like. He delights in how quickly people fold when he attacks. He's bragging about it. That's not America. That's not freedom of speech.

She used a whole lot of "what about you" isms. The old maga standby. So sickening.

Jaded1111 @jaded1111.bsky.social · 7d

Comey should site the Mueller Report in his defense. Mueller found 11 charges that trump could face when he was no longer in office. He should prove trump was working with the Russians and obstructed the investigation. He should make this trial his playground.

My new favorite saying is it's - “simply untethered to the facts.” Thanks George, for saying it's okay to feel afraid.

When you have a Dictator talking about 'taking Care of People', it kinda makes you nervous.....

Jaded1111 @jaded1111.bsky.social · 7d

If it's so dangerous there, why are they all standing on the roof making themselves prime targets. Because it's not a war zone, with the exception of the government's behavior. It's a safe area where people should be able to protest without being shot in the head or gassed by the government.
