How is it, not a single American news outlet is asking Trump, Vance or any Republican Senator or Representative WHY a sitting US president is sharing an AI video of himself in a crown, literally dropping feces on the citizens of the country he represents? & following up with, "Do you support this?"

A President, posting an AI video, in which he wears the crown of a king while dumping feces on his OWN country's citizens pretty much backs the reason for protest.

Congress should heed the warning in the protest. We, the people, are mobilizing. Trump will lose. And so will you.

Weird. So much love for America at these #NoKings protests.

But, Republicans said it was a hate America rally.

Aunt Tiffa is confused.

What a terrific turnout on a rainy Saturday in Tulsa. Unicorns, frogs, bubbles, sharks on unicycles, and an endless line of cars honking with Impeach Trump signs, No Kings, Hands Off. it’s a huge party of smiling happy people, saying, not in my country. Bravo! #NoKingsTulsa #NoKings

I think my favorite part about this fight for democracy is... that when we win, history books will show inflatables as key components in taking down a despot and his rogue regime.

And that just feels like perfection.

Pro-America "No Kings Rallies" across the nation today! Republicans trying to paint this as a negative because they've bowed to the Trump regime and turned backs on US. But the rest of us still hold constitutional truths and the rule of law as values.

"They" (Republicans) say the Young Republicans are kids. Their racist and hate-filled ideology are jokes and youth. But, they are products of their environment - and anything they've embraced is because their elders have indicated racism and hate-filled ideology has a home in the GOP. It is the GOP.

Honestly, I wish more in leadership would start their answers with, "Shut up" when the question is baked in BS and presented with stupidity slobber.

Why aren't we calling this the Pedophile Protection Shutdown when, in fact, it is the GOP Pedophile Protection Shutdown?

Cara @leavingthezoo.bsky.social · 4d

I know Charles McCall, in his run for Governor of Oklahoma, really thinks his banana chopping commercial is effective, but all it reads to me is "This guy is really creepy and he's a little too excited about that banana."

Confession: In the past, I've always been pro-farmer (which often means, pro bailout of farmer), but that has changed. The reason? Farmers don't learn. Instead, they take the gift given, & turn around and put themselves in the same position again.

It's time to learn.

No more bailouts for farmers.

So, the two clear reasons Republicans are choosing to keep the government shutdown are:

1. They want to continue to protect pedophiles named in Epstein files.

2. They want to harm American citizens who rely on the ACA, refusing negotiations to PROTECT those same citizens by extending subsidies.

OK Representative Stephanie Bice is not wrong. This Oklahoman voter is absolutely wondering why Republicans are allowing the government to stay shutdown. When you hold the Presidency, the Senate & the House, there's no question as to who is responsible for the shutdown. Bice seems to have caught on.

If Biden placed 274 FBI agents in the crowd during the MAGA insurrection as Trump suggests, why did Trump give him the go ahead to do so? I mean, at the time, Trump was President - sooooo...?

Cara @leavingthezoo.bsky.social · 7d

Maybe the only saving grace about Trump and his minions being so bold - is there is no denying it later. It's in your face. In the wide open. On video. Documented.

When the worm turns, I do not know. But, it will. And I hope I'm here for it.

That's weird because on visual assessment by anyone who has eyes and a minimal understanding of cognitive ability - nothing in this letter rings true from heart health to mental acuity.

Marjorie Taylor Greene being the rational person in the room is freaking me out. And, that I'm nodding in agreement is freaking me out even more!

And, is any Oklahoma News station even considering giving some advice to Oklahomans as far as preparation when this administration declares martial law and how exactly to navigate that - because it's pretty clear it's coming.

Where have all the journalists gone?

Cara @leavingthezoo.bsky.social · 10d

My parents are both really struggling physically, and so, that is taking up 99% of my time outside of work so, I haven't really caught any local news in a while. Has an Oklahoma News station thought to ask ANY of our representatives why no one is signing the Discharge Petition?

2025: When Republicans boast about Christianity while beating down the foreigner in a strange land, starving the poorest amongst us, criminalizing the homeless & protecting the greedy & pedophiles, ignoring every command within the Bible they swing as a weapon.

Matthew 7:23 fiddin' to be invoked.

Just over here waiting for that day when these idiot Republican Senators and Representatives look down at the stupid chain they've tethered themselves to Trump with and recognize that MF isn't actually locked. Sticking to stupid is a choice.

Cara @leavingthezoo.bsky.social · 12d

I'm with you & people need to become more and more vocal about this! For too long a lot of us have blindly supported bailouts for farmers but at this point, it's time the consequences teach the lesson. You vote for failure, you reap what you sow just like the rest of us. This cycle has got to stop.
