🇺🇦 I see my background as less important than how it brings me to this fight. I'm American/Irish, pretty well-traveled, happily married, a dog lover (currently w/4 rescued dawgs), born in Seattle, lived all over, currently WA state, and very progressive.

Pedophilius thinks he's Napoleon but, in reality, he's just Hitler in the bunker. Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh, he's moving his toy soldiers around the map, & issuing orders to his generals, who KNOW he's running on empty, but they go through their paces for him.

And the clocks ticking.........

.. 8) THE US CREDIT RATING FALLS, & rates increase faster, worsening the recession & stagflation, & the DOWNWARD SPIRAL gets faster........

You can imagine the rest......(or maybe you can't!)............

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 4h

.. 5) STAGFLATION SETS IN as our demand falls w/our incomes & inflation continues to increase.

6) RECESSION hits as the economy begins to CONTRACT chronically.

7) THE BUDGET DEFICIT & DEBT INCREASE as Pedophilius takes the tariffs we paid & wastes them on foolish initiatives & more tax cuts. ..

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 4h

2) THE DOLLAR WEAKENS as the world sees how haphazardly our economy is being run.

3) INFLATION INCREASES as DOMESTIC US CONSUMERS bear the cost of the new tariffs.

4) OTHER CURRENCIES BECOME MORE ATTRACTIVE as the dollar becomes too unstable to be the WORLD'S CURRENCY OF RECORD.

Case in point, & thanks AllShorts ( @allshorts.bsky.social )!

Pedophilius & his entirely misguided trade & tariff initiatives & shit-talking are causing the world to sell off our Treasury instruments, which does the following:

1) INTEREST RATES RISE, as we must offer hIgher rates TO SELL them. ..

He's slipping...day by day...slipping away.......& ALL the pugs know it.......hell, HE knows it!

He's not long for this, & he's doing the best HE can to swing for the fences, but he keeps whiffing. Still, he's very dangerous @ this point, & he's doing things that gravely injure our country!

"America" is an IDEA, an IDEAL, to be freely shared, NOT A THING to be owned, controlled or limited!

Let's share that happy message & the pride it breeds!

Are you participating in a nokings.org rally on Saturday, 10/18? Here are some helpful tips to get your messages across in safe, peaceful, and joyous ways.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades;
compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

So......what he's sayin' is......bein' against a KING means you HATE AMERICA?!?!

If we were to HATE America, we'd just sit on our hands & watch the creeping fascism overtake & subsume her......JUST LIKE SCALISE DOES!!

HEY.........THAT means........!!

NO KINGS!!

My gawd, just imagine if George Carlin & Bill Hicks ( @billhicksdotcom.bsky.social ) still walked this earth. I truly believe they would be such an effective counterweight to today's reactionary, "conservative," kkkristofascist bullshit!

Listen to both, liberally.

Sharpen your minds!!

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

These members of Congress truly are deplorable, & it makes me wonder how they & their younger buddies "got there."

I saw this video yesterday &, while it's troubling & overwhelming, it is fadcinating.

It may help explain things a bit.

Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina but not for struggling Americans.

Here are the 7 wars he should end:

•War on healthcare
•War on farmers
•War on the economy
•War on the middle class
•War on ACA protections
•War on immigrants
•War on voters
