Remember, Trump won the popular vote. Don't lie to yourself and say they didn't know he is such a monster. There's so much hatred and rage in America that Trump still has an approval rating of 45%. He will let Abrego Garcia and tens of thousands of other people die in his concentration camps, and tens of thousands of children die because of lack of adequate food and medical care.
America is becoming reviled around the world, and it is richly deserved.
I just hope, and offer prayers to the Universe, that those in this Trump-fascist-Nazi regime who have imposed so much suffering on so many innocent people are held accountable and their punishment is commensurate with their crimes. Long, slow, and painful would be best, but I'll settle for imprisonment for the rest of their lives. Maybe somewhere scenic, though, Maybe somewhere in the Florida Everglades.
I knew it was gonna be bad. I read this yesterday and just couldn't. This poor guy, and all the other ones we sent there, are tortured constantly for doing nothing wrong. This is how Trump wants everyone who is not white to be treated. And everyone's just letting them! The Supreme Court OK'd this! Everyone in the Trump Admin is a human rights violator who needs to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Preferably, this fucking prison in El Salvador.
I have come to the conclusion that the allure of Trump and the "MAGA " movement is very similar to that of a potent addictive drug. "Trumpies" are addicts, and a pitiful lot. Just like any other "junkies" the root causes for their dependency varies greatly, and direct adversarial confrontation is never successful. We all need to get personal about this. if you know a Trumpy find some way to reach him/her and help them get "clean" It's challenging and every bit as difficult as helping someone kick heroin, but it can be done, but in the end, well worth the effort Independence Day is a perfect time to "Save a Trumpy
After years of grappling with the appeal of Donald Trump, I still have no good answer. There is no logical reason why anyone should like this guy. The best i have come up with is it's just the most colossal snow job in history. The "real" Donald Trump is still largely unknown. the voting public was presented with a fictional person based loosely upon a character from a TV game show. The ultra-successful, brilliant billionaire businessman persona is a total fantasy. No more true than Larry Hagman was an oil tycoon. Sadly, too many Americans remain so ill informed as to be able to discern fact from fantasy.
It is the exact behaviour of the powerless gaining power. You see the same thing in recent converts, regardless of the real idea they converted to. New members of a cult worshipping Seth, or a new Christian, or someone who recently quit smoking, it doesn't matter. They will use their newfound sense of moral superiority and authority to beat down everyone around them loudly and aggressively.
If any president before trump, possibly including republican ones did the evil, cruel shit that trump does they would be calling for impeachment or maybe even removal under Article 25 Section 4 with no pushback from his own party. But with trump they’ve decided that maybe we should give it a try again to be ruled by a king. In this case it’s a mad, incompetent, narcissistic psychopath with delusions of grandeur, who can’t put a complete sentence together who shits out of his anus mouth to let us all know what a complete moron he is. Might be time for another revolutionary war. Next summer will be 250 years of being led by an elected president who actually takes his oath of office seriously.
the country has been moving forward to this moment for over the past 40 years since Reagan and the GOP started merging with the Christian right.....and here we finally are...the Executive Branch with the SCOTUS fully enabling an imperial president to take full control of all the branches of government.....aided by the mega billionaire donors....so now they have all the power, money and control of who gets elected and to use the rest of us as surfs to toil for them so they can maintain their wealth and power.....this is just the beginning of tRUMPS (BUB) which puts billions of dollars into ICE, effectively making it the largest police force (of brown shirt, jackboot Nazi) in our country..... put a glass of water in a microwave, over heat it and see what happens..... it's coming to that.
The full "militarization" of civilian police forces. We are now all subject to a very well funded, well equipped occupational army. To the dismay of many, being White and a natural born citizen will afford you little or no protection from their power.
For the first time in my life I am not celebrating July 4th. Democracy being beaten and strangled is not cured by fireworks, and platitudes about our so-called, rapidly disappearing, freedom. Approaching our 250th anniversary of our revolt from Britain, I can only envision a 2nd revolt against the tyranny of this regime. That will be a true celebration. A repeat of maga Jan. 6th acts by liberal activists, minus the police bashing, during the voting of this horrible bill would have been sweet, except the felonpotus would have ordered all the protesters murdered. So no pardons by a future president. I am at a loss how the US will ever become a democratic republic again.
I always fly my flag on holidays like July 4 (or Flag Day, Veterans' Day) but not any longer. Seriously looking into getting a California Bear Republic flag to fly in place of the stars and stripes. I am deeply ashamed of what my country has become.
I am flying my pink, blue, and white flag in support of our granddaughter and all others who still need freedom. The Stars and Stripes will have to stay in the closet
Next to Christmas, which I did not celebrate this past year, the 4th has been my happy holiday. I love my country. Even through the horrific slaughter of Vietnamese people and their country, and Laos and Cambodia, I thought we could stand up and learn from our mistakes.
But we didn't and haven't.
We have fucked ourselves and we have only ourselves to blame.
More terrifying ... and much less reported in the US ... is that CECOT is also being used as a political prison, the much reported drop in crime in El Salvador (the rationale for the draconian "state of exception") being more a smokescreen for a deal between Bukele's government and the very gangs supposedly targeted with these harsh measures. Those dangerous types like journalists, environmentalists, human rights lawyers, as well as foreign "guests".
Three weeks and he lost @ 40 lbs . Think about that . That's not only degrading and cruel but absolutely inhumane . And all the time the fat obese felon is cruising around in his golf cart spending millions of tax payers money and depleting our missiles stock for his fake war photo shots. The president hates America . Or he never would have had a platform Make America Great Again . It was fine until he wrecked our Nation and now wants us without our healthcare and food . Wake up you stupid Repubs . His they're coming for me . Was his biggest lie .. He was coming for you ,your money ,your food , and throwing your disabled elderly grandmas and grandpa's under the bus . And backing over them .
Thank dog for Evan Hurst.

I'll bet the MAGA scum really "get off"on reading about Garcia being tortured. A bunch of sick sadistic bastards.

Why can't George Clooney and Brad Pitt do an Ocean's 11 on CECOT?

Dump gives these miserable people a way to blame all their troubles in life on somebody else.
FUCK! WTF is wrong with this country? 77 million people voted for this shit.

So what is it that made them feel so powerless?
Larry Hagman having a genie in a bottle is still more believable than trump being an ultra-successful billionaire businessman.

I want Stephen MIller to die as soon as possible.
If there is any justice in the universe, it will be a slow lingering death from the most horrific incurable disease known
No. I want him beat to death by an angry mob. Torn apart, preferably.
Too quick. He needs to suffer.

"serfs". You're welcome. And I agree.
sometimes typing on a keyboard doesn't translate well for myself...I apologize for my mistake.

Or fly the flag upside down
I am flying my pink, blue, and white flag in support of our granddaughter and all others who still need freedom. The Stars and Stripes will have to stay in the closet
I have a Nevada flag myself. But I fly both. Not going to give it to maga only. But a California Bear Flag sounds perfect! Do it 😀

You know THEY don't.
I think our task now is to find some people who do.
Put on your walkin' shoes...

Brave people. I don't trust DHS or ICE goons. They'd be detaining every one of these protestors in these camps if they could.
My fat ass is featured in the last second of the video.
Didn't see any fat asses. Lol. Checkered shirt? Light blue shirt in front of that?
