Honestly, I don't know how or why his base couldn't, wouldn't, or didn't see his campaign promises as unrealistic & ridiculous.

Have they never come in contact with a conman?
Democracy's biggest weakness.

This is TRULY the "emperor has no clothes on" moment in time. It's astounding.

I can only say over & over, "ELECTIONS have consequences"!!

Heard this over & over. So I say to Gov Pritzger: If state laws call for arresting lawbreaking ICE agents, "Just DO it!"

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Shoulda heard more of this simple fact sooner.

Instead of the CONSTANT, murky drumbeat of gloom & doom without placing
Accountability where it clearly belongs. Trump & the GOP.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Oregon Humane Society recently rescued 30 Maine Coons from neglect. When the owner pleaded guilty in court, the cats were released from protective custody and many are now available for adoption ❤️ #cats #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

US citizen, 67, ‘has ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents after being dragged out of HIS car while driving home onto HIS street, where HIS house sits.

I hope he sues the living daylights out of them!!!!

Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · 1d

As you know, SNAP runs out by November 1. Children and families will go hungry, of course, but it harms the agricultural sector too. Impeachment is critical for the future well being of us all: rural or urban, farmer or office worker. Reach out to your neighbors. Normalize impeachment.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

I don't recall that revelation of his reputation prior to his campaign, though I was in my 60's & casually followed politics.

Still, I see where you're going with this & don't disagree with your take on white, male privilege. Trump is the latest & most severe iteration of this age old story.

Bovino?

Susan Steele, FL, USA @publickspace.bsky.social · 22h

Absolutely!!! Not sure, but I read Trump used these same funds to cover his last gov shut down in 2017. Correct me if I'm wrong.
