@Assassassin @vegeta And another 30% can’t be bothered to get off their ignorant dead asses to even VOTE. So you are correct, we are fucked, and getting more fucked every single day.

@Davriellelouna My first thought when Trump said this was that he pardoned the Jan 6 insurrections who spit on the very same DC and Capitol police officers.

@MicroWave The problem is that even if the House impeaches AND the Senate convicts, we then have JD Vance as President. After Vance comes Mike Johnson. After Johnson comes Chuck Grassley. I went 17 levels down a succession list that includes Tulsi Gabbard and RFK, Jr. Impeachment doesn’t improve the leadership situation unless it includes Congress finally deciding to do its job and rein in the rogue Executive branch.

@inclementimmigrant Here’s a flash, Donald. They still hate you, they just don’t say it to your face.

@MicroWave “Elect a clown, expect a circus”. Hegseth is just another clown in the car.

@just_another_person I believe the term we’re all looking for is “Collaborators”.

@PhilipTheBucket Gee, that couldn’t be a ploy to reduce resistance to his slash-and-burn method of cutting costs, could it? Let’s wait and see if repairing the damage he has done by using the ax instead of the scalpel doesn’t cost way more than is saved.

@silence7 And this is why you NEVER sign up for automatic payments and give someone access to your bank account.

@GiddyGap There’s a company with a big bird mascot and “only what you need” slogan that uses a similar scam. They use bridge policies originally designed to cover short term gaps in health coverage which do not conform to key ACA requirements (“only what you need”). This makes them cheap and easy to market to people who don’t realize how little coverage they have til their claims are denied. Trump relaxed the limitations on such policies and screwed millions. https://www.kff.org/affordable-care-act/issue-brief/understanding-short-term-limited-duration-health-insurance/

@floofloof And this guy is an actual MD, as in medical doctor.

@sylver_dragon @MicroWave I think your conclusions are accurate, particularly in the evangelical view of Trump as a “flawed vessel” that will still carry their religious water. But what always pisses me off is the absolute refusal of those same evangelicals to even begin to entertain the notion that Barack Obama, or now Kamala Harris could also be imperfect in their eyes, but still be the best choice to lead the country. Their minds are closed and locked.

@reddig33 @101 The US continues to reduce its use of coal as an energy source, plus exports of LNG to Europe increased significantly as they reduced their own consumption of Russian oil.
