America has been a democracy in drag since the beginning. We never really wanted to be rid of the monarchy and Jack Smith has torn off the disguise. All hail the aristocracy! God save the King!

Instead of being yanked by the Trump “squirrel!” trick. Step back and chill

Remember how Mexico was going to pay for the wall? 🙄So why is everyone running around with their hair on fire now? Trump hasn’t even been inaugurated yet! The buffoon is a blowhard and he loves to watch his enemies bleat and run in to each other. Get it? That’s the schtick. Wanna be woke? Wake up to the stupid trick. Wanna be effective? Start implying he’s weak every time he says something. Look at how he is responding to Musk trying to assert himself. Donnie doesn’t want to lose control.

Personally, I can’t wait to see Matt get grilled by his former colleagues. These people are all clowns. Quit letting them get you in a tizzy and mock them. They crumble like the cowards they are when you mercilessly point and laugh at them.

If you’re still on Twitter you might as well be on Truth Social as well.

Hmmm. I unearthed my face from the iPhone this morning and looked out the window. To my surprise the world had not ended! Maybe I should spend more time looking at the actual world instead of trafficking in the imagined worlds of a billion people with their heads buried in their iPhones?

Naaaahhhh...

Sure. I’m liberal. I’m also not afraid of numbers. And when the numbers yield results I don’t want or like I’m not going to waste my time moaning about who’s at fault and the consequences of the numbers. I’m going to STFU and get to work figuring out why the numbers are the way they are and WTF I’m going to do about it.

For decades conservatives have been packing courts with “states rights“ judges. Going forward, how do we leverage this harsh reality? For instance, abortion has been handed over to the states, and we are doing quite well on that front. It’s a slog but we’re winning bit by bit. Something the right never anticipated. Also, Congress is like a frozen, fudge packed colon. What kinds of legislation can bypass Congress and Trump at the state level? Unfortunately, this seems like our only hope.

Election year/voter turnout:

2008
Obama - 69,498,516
McCain - 59,948,323

2012
Obama - 65,915,795
Romney- 60,933,504

2016
Trump - 62,984,828
Clinton - 65,853,514

2020
Biden - 81,283,501
Trump - 74,223,975

2024 (approx.)
Trump - 74,532,699
Harris - 70,856,199

In 2020 record numbers voted. By 2024 what changed? Trump didn’t get that many more votes than he did in ‘20. Why did 11,000,000 people not show up for Harris? 🤔

Exactly like governments, a business of any size, from the mom and pop shop to the multinational conglomerate, conducts its business in service (or disservice) of the people. The existence of the levers and pulleys of all types of organization consist purely of human intent. If you forget this, you have surrendered your freedom.

A corollary to “when they go low, we fight back”... “whenever they accuse, they confess”.

Can’t we just have the election next week?

People are saying Elon Musk is in talks to buy Truth Social and merge the brand with the megasocial media juggernaut that is X.

Election after election, the most important issue on voters’ minds (the economy), is a subject that gets little to no attention in K-12 education and is the most misunderstood and manipulated by pundits and politicians. How is this good for democracy?

So why isn’t Trump doing any large rallies? My take is that every time he stands in front of a podium a little piece of his brain relives being shot at. Dude’s been traumatized. PTSD.

So nice to see liberals not apologizing for being liberal. Kinda about time.

Is Donald Trump really white?
