The image speaks for itself. There does not seem to be words that completely describe the state of our government.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

Black Friday Is the perfect day to protest. They would lose Billions in tariff
revenue.It would scare the crap out of them.

Yes, this is true. It is also too bad that American workers don't agree to a boycott of all corporate workplaces. A one-day walkout would go a long way to stopping all this crap.

I have worked with mentally disabled children that have more integrity, stability, common sense, and humanity than Donald Trump and MAGA terrorist group of Republicans.

To be completely honest then, they do not have good faith negotiation, argument, or any semblance of integrity as human beings. Simply put, they are sociopaths parading around as criminals, parading around as Republicans.

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 6d

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

And yet, murderers are still in government. Anger is a polite word. Rage is the next level. I have left the F**ks far behind. Remove the wannabe moron.
