Initially Fox News did an earlier disinformation video with older Portland videos intermixed when he was president the first time. That’s what is sticking in 47’s mind now.

The MAGA crowd is completely unhinged and off of the radar with Fox News in full gaslighting fact free propaganda mode.

It’s going to get worse until the country wakes up and gets tired of being gaslit and conned by MAGA republicans and their rich donors.

Ukraine has RuZZia’s number these days 😈

The world will be a better place when RuZZia learns its neighbors enjoy bloodying their nose every time they disrespect a neighbor’s sovereignty.

RuZZia is reckless and so is his mouth pieces like Farage.

Starve them of oxygen.

Fox News long ago made the transition from talking heads to lying heads. U.S. House speaker Johnson did transition he just showed up that way ready to lie.

That’s how you do it. Call out autocrats and their antics.

dgassen 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @dgassen.bsky.social · 17h

The mental decline from the MAGA base continues.

Obvious signs of blatant corruption with documented cases of financial enrichment won’t deter them from the fervor for their cult of personality savior.

Is their sickness terminal?

Oopsie—Mike Johnson caught in a lie that so obvious.

It’s like seeing him with his hand caught in the cookie jar as Jeffries giggles at him off to the side.

At this point it’d be a good time for Bash to bring up why he ignored the boys that were being sexually assaulted while was assistant coach if Gym Jordan can’t stay on topic.

Well I’m not an anarchistic or believe in the violence of having to burn it all down. A prefect world never existed.

Can you plz stop putting words in my mouth?

dgassen 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @dgassen.bsky.social · 22h

I’d rather move the needle in a positive direction. Protesting, in my posts if you look, is important too. Canvassing to motivate people. Going to primaries (being disgusted by DNC influencing who wins) to pick party candidates.

It’s all part of the imperfect process of democracy.

Learned about Greenwood from a documentary a few years ago. Of course it’s extremely disturbing but very important to understand America’s history of racism.

It’s disappointing and appalling to have heard about this history this late in my life.

dgassen 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @dgassen.bsky.social · 23h

Some of this is fault of Tech bros who accelerated hate with their social media engagement algorithms.

Billionaires everywhere have stifled the quality of life & pointed fingers at the “other” to keep themselves from being identified as the economic cause of an inefficient concentration of wealth.

This is what a police state looks like in the U.S.

So yes 47 & Stephen Miller have authority and want totalitarianism over your ability to protest or resist their authority.

Ah yes how could we miss the double whammy assessment 😈

The ultra wealthy often the MSM. That explains the false equivalency. The only question is whether a majority of Americans awaken with critical thinking and vote accordingly.

Every time i see protests it’s the green frog that owns ICE.

The frog knows it’s a costume. The J6/ICE/CBP are COS playing thinking their real law enforcement.

Do you think ICE will get pardons for intentionally brutalizing people once dementia Donnie becomes irrelevant? 😈

Yea I’m gonna call racism on all the MAGA fox viewers thinking this is even justified.

47’s damaged ego, for 34 felony convictions, is using DoJ & MAGA base to seek retribution for an imaginary slight.

Such a little baby who falls back on his childish temper tantrums.
