Pro-Constitution, pro-rights, pro-HONESTY and values. Eject liars and grifters from our government in 2026 and 2028! It's up to US to fix our corrupt government if we care.

One key difference between Americans and the cult opposing our Constitution is that when an AMERICAN hears speech they don’t agree with, they either walk away or use their own free speech rights to rebut lies. When a MAGAT hears speech they don’t like, they try to get that person fired.

Screenshot of company website with two “request for information/quote” emails from an aggrieved Karen who was upset that I noted if Trump was dead (he disappeared for a few days a couple weeks ago, and his cult was suspiciously silent about it; so we thought the worst), there was the 25th A for America’s government to continue AND the opportunity to repair some of the damage he did to our alliances, trade, economy, Constitutional adherence, democracy and more.
The text indicates that I should be drug tested (weed is legal here, btw) and I should be fired for threatening the “President” (PINO: President in name only, as insurrectionists can’t hold office)

New ICEstapo recruiting standards:
Must be able to walk and shout racial slurs simultaneously.
Must be willing to violate Constitution (if able to read and understand it like 3% of applicants)
Must have no fear of assaulting women, children and the elderly, and must be willing to fire on clergy.

OMG! 😂🤣😂
(The sad thing is that there's anecdotal evidence of Black families getting more for their homes after removing anything that indicates race of owners. I wish *I* was kidding.)
This is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. Thank you: after today, I need laughter!

The premise is that for offshore money that Russia has, every day $2B is taken out and given directly to Ukraine to fund its defense. The longer Putin stalls, the smaller his fund gets, until it's gone and there is no money left; and meanwhile Russia pays Ukraine $2B/day to defend themselves.

I REALLY like the "$2 billion dollar a day" idea that Kinzinger talked about today: puts a clock on Putin ending his vanity war!
Since Trump isn't American and helps Putin where he can, and Europe is pretty powerless, apparently, that would seem to be the best way to quickly end the war.

Depends on if you choose to stop Putin: otherwise, YOUR enemy and MY enemy are united and NONE of us are safe.

I guess every 250 years we must fight a tyrant to keep our freedoms. I stand ready to support and defend our Constitution…and our Declaration of Independence…because *I* am an American. Are we ready to fight for America, our Constitution and our rules/law-based order?

We are working: but like you said, it took TEN YEARS there (we don't have that long!)
It would be SO much easier if we were Republicans instead of AMERICANS: we could just storm the White House, threaten Congress, hang the Vice-PINO...just J6 traitor stuff to do what we want. But Americans folow law

As the minority party, only so much they can do: they already stopped voting on any appointments, so the corrupt RepubliCult CHANGED THE RULES to permit them to skip "advice and consent," use simple majority, and mass-approve dozens of unqualified lackeys in a single vote. (no shit! look it up!)

Chuck Watkins @chuckwatkins.bsky.social · 5h

Which obviates the case for mail-in ballots. So stupid that we have to stand in line or find a box in the 21st century when I can get a home loan by email...

When Americans are in charge again, I feel sure it will be demolished and a more appropriate building erected.
This one will undoubtedly be full of Putin-gifted devices, so must be dismantled after the criminal has been removed.

I hope you're right. Not sure that even the destruction of our White House fazes the Republican cult anymore: they're numb to anything that doesn't involve hurting the poor, brown people, children or people in blue states, I fear.

We've only lost when we give up: our American democracy is worth saving, and I think there are tens of millions of patriots like me who will defend it if the RepubliCult traitors in Congress refuse to do their job.

Chuck Watkins @chuckwatkins.bsky.social · 5h

Probably not: VDJance does not have the cult's backing, and Thiel's money won't help him win over the RepubliCult (plus, Thiel is gay, and LGBT doesn't fly with the cult!). Many thought CKirk might be the next cult Messiah (which may be why Trump had him, er, I mean, why he was accidentally killed)

Chuck Watkins @chuckwatkins.bsky.social · 6h

but we have a LOT of work to do to ensure free and fair elections now that a corrupt career criminal who ALREADY failed at one coup is in the Oval.
The test will be when (and it's WHEN, not IF) Trump orders the military to do something overtly illegal: Americans can't win without a Constitution.

Chuck Watkins @chuckwatkins.bsky.social · 6h

The RepubliCult WILL try to rig the elections (coincidence that Dominion Voting bought by a (R) "strategist"?): it is up to US if we want to keep America AMERICAN or if we want to let a rapist pedophile fraudster liar thief and his cult of dimwit sheep TAKE America from us.
We'll see at midterms,

There's no legal way this was done faster than the Epstein files release.

Oh, I'm sure that like every other construction project that the career criminal has undertaken, he will refuse to pay his contractors: not because he needs the money now that he is literally making BILLIONS grifting from the Oval Office, but just out of habit.

Chuck Watkins @chuckwatkins.bsky.social · 6h

Part of the problem is that up until NOW, every President has been 1) legally elected (not an insurrectionist) and 2) at least MOSTLY American and MOSTLY supportive of our Constitution.
Our system was never designed to be ruled by those without morals or loyalty to our nation, unfortunately.

Then trusting a pathological liar was their first mistake, and a huge error in judgement for CEOs who should know better.
