Here is to god’s predictions of consequences for the crimes against humanity being performed by our own government and the highest court in the land.

The counterattack can’t just come from Governors of blue states. Dems in Congress need to get cracking. Now.

Dissatisfied with his own narrative, now he’s predicting what other people will say and preemptively debate the argument, by himself.

Get in a room with your Dem colleagues and negotiate. Something Trump has been unable to do.

#healthcare is the issue.

That’s some peak cynicism about trying to “make sure people don’t die ..”

Mike Johnson: "Let me predict what Sen. Kelly is gonna say on the show. He's gonna give you a long, impassioned speech about healthcare and how the subsidies are so important to make sure people don't die and all of this. Let me tell you something. This is not a healthcare fight."

Republicans will flood the airwaves with this narrative nonstop for the next couple of days.

We need to be LOUDER and BRIGHTER

Standing up now is not radical. To speak out, to march and to demand accountability is not defiance; it’s what Americans do when they see a wrong being committed.

Opinion | The GOP’s coordinated attack on the No Kings rally is ridiculous

The Republican talking points are out of touch with the reality of Saturday's protests.

Pretty soon we’ll need to make our voices be heard on the streets every day. Not 24/7 though. That’s for crazy people with unlimited funds, taken from our pockets

Of course. That’s what an old man with a big ego does. He might also be taking the call from the toilet.

We need people with a loud platform using their voices! Those of us with little voices appreciate it.

People in red states will suffer the most, because on top of the premium increases, their state leadership will not care what happens to them.

The Big stupid Bill wrecking havoc taking away #healthcare, and not just for Democrats.

Trump is playing ‘benevolent’ dictator with selective audiences. Take it away, have the farmers suffer, then give them scraps. Instead of empowering them to sell their crops and make a living in a free market.

Nobody is getting paid. Unlike the fat sign on bonuses given to ICE goons, there is no greed on our side. There is integrity, patriotism and conviction.

Let’s remember the man can’t do this alone. Republicans in Congress are enabling him. The military seems to be behind him.
I’d say there is money involved. Rape plus funding an illegal operation. The coverup is massive.

All I know is that nobody is in the middle for free. China is looking out for their country. The EU needs to be a “counterpart”, not a subservient of the US. Protecting #Ukraine is protecting Europe.

None of these dictators are trustworthy. They can’t even trust what they say to each other. But especially, all that comes out of Trump’s mouth is a lie, an exaggeration, a made up fact or conversation he fantasized about.

Not surprised. It feels like they want to do this with America. Burn it to the ground and rebuilt it in their image. It’s a #classwar.

The Trump regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating.

The best way for us to protect our rights is by exercising them. Together, we’ll face Trump’s repressive tactics with millions taking to the streets in peaceful, open defiance. Please join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Can we do this AND send him to jail for committing crimes against humanity and fraud?

vglntgrandma.bsky.social @vglntgrandma.bsky.social · 9h

I like the idea. I worry the state where we land will always be under threat, because the other side will have all the guns.
