This does not surprise me - the only aggressive behavior I saw at #NoKings yesterday was from MAGAs driving by. So glad no one got hurt in Kent - Jay's friend may have prevented a mass tragedy

22 arrests.
All Maga.
Including this armed terrorist with a gun who assaulted a woman.
I think we know who the violent ones are.

Trump uncontrollably shitting all over Americans and the American flag is the most honest thing he has ever posted

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 11h

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

Trump’s fantasy of having one of his apparently uncontrollable liquid shits land on the American flag

Normalizing corruption and persecuting the prosecutors

Barb McQuade @barbmcquade.bsky.social · 2d

Trump is all about normalizing corruption.

Former Representative George Santos of New York, the disgraced Republican, was released from a federal prison on Friday night after President Trump commuted his seven-year sentence for fraud.

I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

Why can’t they say it?

A tweet from Anonymous says: “They can’t do it.” The attached four-panel meme shows a cartoon character wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat. In the first panel, text says “SAY ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS!’” and the character looks neutral. In the second panel, another character says “SAY ‘NAZIS ARE BAD.’” The final two panels show the MAGA character looking angry and refusing to speak.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Same! While I was super impressed in red smalltown central PA to see 100s of clever, creative signs & a bunch of inflatables & a ton of conservative-looking older ppl & a ton of youth, what impressed me just as much was the constant honking & cheering from cars driving past. Resistance is everywhere

This is grossly dark. These are broken people.

But it's also so politically dumb.

How do they think Americans will react to being told that anyone who doesn't support Trump is a terrorist?

Visiting small town red central PA & a ton of awesome people turned out w great signs! Nearly every car passing honked loudly in support of the crowd. There WAS one jealous little MAGA there speeding his motorcycle the wrong way against traffic, but an Indivisible guy told us the cops arrested him 😁

Newsom's intent was to diminish and rattle Trump, to take away his illusion of dominance, not to state what's obvious to anyone not fully indoctrinated. Nothing is more painful for a narcissist than to be treated like a pitiful hasbeen

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

What does Pam Bondi know about the grand jurors who indicted Comey and how does she know it?

Scott MacFarlane @macfarlanenews.bsky.social · 12d

This exchange is quite something

It begins with Attorney General Bondi alleging that grand jurors who indicted Comey were "liberal" (Grand jury identities are to be secret)

And ends with her mentioning the "great picture" showing her and Trump and others at dinner

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

Q: Habeas corpus

Thanks for speaking up for the truth - we appreciate you! It's got to be frustrating being at a network where official liars are platformed and not challenged by certain of your colleagues. Grateful for you, Sorkin, Faber and others who don't allow yourselves to be silenced
