Why do the Trump & the GOP want to kill us?

TheCatMan @bigbrohem.bsky.social · 1d

"Pushing the claim that acetaminophen use during pregnancy causes autism suggests the government is preparing to endorse these medical theories, laying the groundwork for changes to vaccination policies that go against the recommendations of infectious disease experts."

Massively DANGEROUS.

Tylenol Claims Are a Microcosm of Trump and RFK’s Wider Attack on Public Health

Trump and RFK’s false claims about autism and Tylenol aren’t an aberration — they’re part of a consistent strategy.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

This pisses me off (and scares me) more than anything that demented criminal has said. I’m willing to take a bus to DC to defend democracy and take our power back from the criminal cabal, who’s with me?

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are prepared to roll over to avoid a shutdown. That cannot happen, because it is exactly what Trump wants. Now is the time to fight. Call their offices and tell them.

Some more hard truth…
If you’re “not yourself” until you have your morning cup of coffee you’re a junkie. That’s why it’s the hardest smoke to give when you quit.

He is pure evil. Anyone else remember the scripture from revelations that the beast shall come from within the church? The fairy tale could have some truth and if so, I don’t doubt that the beast is him.

Stephen Miller didn’t copy Goebbels word-for-word, he just borrowed the whole “we are the chosen builders of civilization and our enemies are subhuman destroyers” vibe. It’s less plagiarism and more like fascist karaoke. A fitting tribute indeed.

Stephen Miller’s Charlie Kirk Tribute Was as Sinister as It Gets

Donald Trump’s adviser used the Charlie Kirk memorial to warn of the “wickedness” of “our enemies.”
