NOTHING is functionally sustainable as long as Citizens United stands. It allows those at the top to have a disproportionate influence in our government, which affects everything in our lives, from our healthcare, education, transportation, safety, basic human rights, as well as the economy.

That’s 100% the only reason he wanted to be President in the first place. And all those who enable him are being allowed to do the same. If we had a real Supreme Court, they could do something about it, but they’re probably on the take, too.

You know he is. Commemorative signed bricks. And to whom will the proceeds go? Not the American people.

I will only agree to this if he is forced to pay the bill for righting this wrong. No more wasting of taxpayers funds on ridiculous folly when people are losing their healthcare and getting ready to starve.

Was it the guy with the bow tie?

Oof. Too soon.

This is what you get when you hire people based solely on appearance.

However, it doesn’t matter, because Republican districts are +20.

Each time we’ve flown w/o masks, one of us has gotten COVID, so when my husband and I flew across country last weekend, we masked up. We were among only a handful, including one masked young woman directly in front of us whose partner was hacking his lungs out. He was NOT masked. Make it make sense.

My grandmother had a family of feral cats she fed, of which only the matriarch, an orange tabby, was tame. This cat was obviously an alien, because she lived out in the elements, and bore scores of kittens, for at least 20 years.

He thinks the federal reserve is his personal checking account.

I was driving through a backwoods Colorado town in literally the middle of nowhere, and there were American flags erected every 20-30 feet or so along the highway FOR MILES. First thoughts were a) Must have a Republican town council and b) Did their tax dollars pay for this & they were okay with it?

They were desperate for stories in the age of decency. Now, the destruction of a historic building is small potatoes compared to the destruction he’s done to literally everything.

If it were coming out of his pocket, they’d get stiffed; however, since he has a blank check from the US government, he’ll probably pay them double.

Polly Firebrand @pollyfirebrand.bsky.social · 18h

That’s what it’s always been.

I mean, due process first, but not bullshit due process like Trump’s gotten. You know, where the high priced lawyers drag the case out ad nauseam, then the case gets thrown out or the verdict is watered down. Trump should be forced to get his due process using a public defender.

They probably wouldn’t be rich if it weren’t for the crimes, tbh.

Very misleading title. Why did the TV station change it from the original title? It was more accurate.

Polly Firebrand @pollyfirebrand.bsky.social · 19h

That would have been a very Sati-adjacent action, had she been from India.

And had it actually happened the way they wanted you to think it happened .

Which it didn’t.

I grew up in BFE West Virginia in the 70s, where racist language and ideals were the norm. By the advent of the internet, most people I know had been exposed to the realities of the outside world, & changed. If you hadn’t evolved by the time Reddit was created (2005), you’re pretty hopeless.

If every member of Congress won’t agree to laws which allow a finite amount of funds allocated to each candidate, and make these donations 100% transparent, then we have to assume they are corrupt. If we can’t end Citizens United, then we need to regulate it. @endcitizensunited.bsky.social

Polly Firebrand @pollyfirebrand.bsky.social · 20h

Every single person in Congress should be behind this. If they are not, they are corrupt.

Polly Firebrand @pollyfirebrand.bsky.social · 20h

This should be bipartisan! Can we trust that any of them, Democrat or Republican, will do the right thing when the big donors start throwing the money around? That’s why I’ll believe it when I see it. (I hate I’ve become such a cynic!)

The only way to get the Democratic message to all the people is to take out ads on Fox News and other such programs & tell them! If we make them realize we’re not only about pronouns and giving their tax $ to layabouts, literally all of them will want what we’re selling. @democrats.org

She was gently and thoughtfully dabbing the dribble from his chin.
