Remember when Trump reportedly told his nephew, "Those people, the shape they're in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die." This depravity is now basic GOP ideology, being translated into policy now.

Contact your GOP legislators and remind them how human decency works.

Georgia Voter: I’m glad the Democrats are holding out for some of us—for the 20 million people who still need it and will only get insurance this way.

Trump's statement that the cost of groceries is down reminds me of his claim that photo ID is required to buy groceries.

The connection between the Christianity and the Politics in Christian Nationalism starts with the idea that everyone gets to lie with impunity and abandon. Is she lying for political reasons or is she lying for religious reasons? Is there a difference?

Yep, 0n manual typewriters, before correction tape. Correcting with a quick erasure or with that thick white fluid was the negative reinforcement for typos.

At least 13 senior members of the first Trump administration were charged with violations of the Hatch Act. The problem is that the person in charge of administering discipline for those violations was Trump. Biden wasn't allowed to do it later.

You can see why Trump ignores the Hatch Act.

The claim that anti-Trump protesters are paid has been made repeatedly for years, but every time they are asked for evidence they have none. This is a good example of the way Trump and his minions make a claim over and over, hoping that folks will believe it just because they've heard it often.

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. How to join Antifa in less time than it takes to read the next sentence.

Do you oppose fascism?

Welcome.

Sounds like an ultimatum, from the folks who control whether or not there is a shutdown.

I don't know if you heard, but Portland held an Emergency Naked Bike Ride today as part of their protests. Cracks were showing in Portland as well.

Now we just have to wait and see if Google maps will fix this and make it so that Qatar and Iran share a border. They renamed the Gulf of Mexico for him, so it seems like they should find a way to help him out here.

Recall that Trump reportedly told his nephew, "Those people, the shape they're in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die."

Each aspect of Trump's inhumanity winds up being woven into his policies. Forensic psychologists will write theses on this topic.

There's a responsibility for congress members to represent their constituents. Being deferential to the party leader is characteristic of a different form of government, one without checks and balances. Sen. Curtis is speaking for the GOP, as they allow Trump to do any evil he chooses. Cowards all.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

Oh no, Trump got a COVID booster. Now on top of all of his other problems, Trump is going to be mitochondrially challenged. I hate it when that happens.

What does it say about the others on the stage with him who refrain from helping him with the math? It isn't some little secret they are holding -- nearly everyone knows they know better but they smile as he says it.

Shout out to Wharton -- this is your educational standards, on display.

Even as we speak, the Trump administration has people busily using AI to insert colorful dancing characters into stock footage of riots.

Wow, the GOP seems nervous about the crowd size on Oct. 18 at the No Kings protest! They want to scare us away, by saying it'll be violent, saying it is about Marxism and Hamas, and saying the people are all being paid by Soros. They want to counter the effects of the dancing inflatable characters.

GOP messaging about the protests has been uneven, drug-addled nonsense. Here's what to expect: the October 18 No Kings protest will be peaceful.
Note: You can also expect a lot of dancing inflatable characters, which apparently is what has turned Portland into a war-ravaged hellhole.

Scott Farrand ❌👑 @scottfarrand.bsky.social · 5d

This No Kings protest will cost Soros a lot, because everyone is coming! I'll be donating my Soros bucks to Senator Marshall, to help him buy a clue.

I never redeem the Soros bucks I get for protesting. I am using those to generate credits on the Soros space laser. That is an awesome frickin' laser!

I'm not sure that they understand it when they are mocked, but they do indeed hate it.

When I go to my local Farmer's Market on Saturday morning, it will be in solidarity with the insurrectionists who are buying fruits and vegetables in Portland. When the war ravaging gets rough, ANTIFA gets roughage!
