Another piece of disturbing news is Trump's plans to declare a national emergency to conduct mass deportations. Over 100 statutes grant POTUS authority in a national emergency, and as I understand it, little to no checks are available for countermeasures. I wonder why this isn't front-page news right now.
Get your brain prepared for images of tortured children being ripped from their mother's grasp. Like last time when Trump's monsters removed children from their parents without any intention of returning them. Orphaned and emotionally scarred, perhaps for life.
Get prepared for violence as the new gestapo breaks down doors and drags innocent families out of their homes. Get prepared for injuries and deaths. And get your brain prepared for criminal violence by bad actors in the gestapo. Human rights are irrelevant.
He is making it an entertaining circus for Putin’s glee. It has always been Putin’s dream to make our government a laughingstock. It’s a dream come true. For our country it’s just the beginning of the violations of Lady Liberty.
Really! Putin must be having the time of his life. To reach into our society using FOX Entertainment News, and to get the consent of our elected Representatives. I wonder how far he'll take it. Maybe we'll become a Soviet colony. So far, so good!
He is just a puppet for Putin! Tulsi Gabbard is a horrifying pick, no other country will trust us with any intelligence! Matt Gaetz is a clown pick, he doesn’t know which end of the gavel to hold🙄, Rfk,jr’s family know he is useless. We are in for a world of trouble!
Gabbard used to be my Representative. She is completely without principles. Her constituents found out the hard way that she is just a social climber interested in self promotion and power. Which makes her an ideal MAGA. How in the hell do you go from being a Bernie supporter to a MAGA? She is a Russian asset on top of everything else. Damn, what a catastrophe waiting to happen. USA will be USR (minus the other S since "Socialist" is anathema to MAGAts.)
But MAGAs aka low-income families who vote Republican are on social programs such as EBT, Medicaid, and other government programs to help those in need. Go figure.
Such is the power of the politics of grievance. Scare 'em and piss 'em off with talk of immigrants and lies about inflation, uppity women who think they are equal to men, and the innate racism, xenophobia, and misogyny they harbor, along with a heaping dose of ignorance, will make them vote against their own interests.
What can an average American with limited means due to counter and resist this diabolical mess? I have already emailed my Senators to vote no on these 4 nominations and I am encouraging friends and family to do the same. Any other suggestions?
bizarre. There should be a limit to political pay back for being a constant toady to Trump. Especially when these picks are particularly inappropriate and unqualified. And Elon has worn out his welcome, but hasn’t seemed to have annoyed Dear Leader as of yet. Which is surprising, as his ego is at least as big as Trump’s if not bigger. And there can only be one Belle of the Ball!
As I've said before, I truly believe that even trump's supporters will eventually come to regret their decision to support him. Maybe sooner rather than later. I don't know of a trump supporter who, when asked about the crazy things he said during the campaign, didn't respond by saying "that's just him talking, he won't actually do that" or "I don't think that it will get that bad". Meanwhile the rest of us kept (and keep) saying, "Believe what he says because that is exactly what he will do!" His Administration picks demonstrate that what we have said is coming true and Project 2025 is his game plan.
This is all pretty funny. SNL couldn't write this sketch. A flock of back stabbing dunces.
A Russian spy to spy on Russia. So stupid she thinks Putin is pro-America.
A sex offender to run law enforcement. So stupid he got Kevin McCarthy fired as Speaker after Kevin saved Donald from retirement. And he can't keep his member in his pants.
A reality denier to manage scientists. So stupid he prefers make-believe over direct observation.
A platoon leader to manage the defense of the nation. Who is so stupid he doesn't believe that bacteria or viruses exist. And he can't keep his member in his pants.
All of them led by a 78 year old twisted child who should be in jail. Instead of the White House.
I know “clown car“ is a logical explanation for what’s going on. However, this isn’t a laughing matter. I am truly in disbelief. These appointments are to completely destroy all we know as democracy. I’ve come to the point where my stomach gets sick when I see these interviews and these appointments of unexperienced, unqualified, amoral people who are number 47s sycophants. I recently watched an interview of 47 supporters and they know nothing about our country’s democracy or Constitution. They are just into reality TV and not reality. Conspiracy is their truth. Moments ago I watched an interview on CNN of the Oklahoma State superintendent of schools. He’s a Christian nationalist, he’s anti-Anything that isn’t in his religious sphere. He wants the Trump Bibles in every classroom. He says CNN and other stations like that are woke. Woke. To me woke means being awakened to what is true and sensitive related to others and our history. It’s about being kind and thoughtful with our words , it’s about being honest and mindful of people’s lives, choices, and rights. A clown car? This is a nuclear bomb being organized as a cabinet. I hope and pray there are guardrails against the complete dissolution of our country, our constitution, our democracy and truth. Adam, we need you and others like you to guide the way. I’m old. I don’t have the energy. I care though. I know if 47 isn’t stopped, my grandsons and your son will not live in our constitutional democracy.
So he’s using school funding to buy expensive Bibles only because they’re signed by Trump? So ironic. Paying big $ because a fake Christian signed Bibles and thinks that signature is worth more than God’s Word. Just incredible.
All the Republicans are doing mental math here trying to figure out how to come out on top after Trump's reign is over. They're going to have to decide if going 100% MAGA will help them after Trump is gone after 4 years.
I'm sure they're salivating at the chance to become the next MAGA successor. I really think this is a do or die moment for your former Republican colleagues. This will decide if the clown car gets pulled over or will be allowed to drive all the way to Washington.
I'm hoping that the Republicans realize that MAGA will die with Trump and once he can no longer run, it'll most likely become a fringe movement. (I hope I'm right about this but who knows this election proved how gullible the electorate is)
It's become very suspect that the Orange Nutjob got help from his girlfriend, Pootin and his mistress, Musty to "win" the election. The math doesn't add up. A recount in several districts in PA is going on. Not sure if any of the other swing states want a recount as well. I keep saying the election was way to clean. He won ALL the swing states? Way too easy here. Something happened.
Well it looks like I'll be having a migraine for the next 4 years. Seriously, he'll pick somebody to perform heart surgery who's never had surgery experienced before. That's the logic behind Trump's pick. I really hope he doesn't pull an emergency recess and Trump doesn't get him confirmed
The most infuriating thing out of all the infuriating things is that there is nothing we can do, and I highly doubt there are ANY Republican senators with any kind of spine to stand up to him.
America is going to hell in a hand basket a lot faster than I thought possible.
Once again legacy media is failing to cover the dangers and potential damage in Trump's plans. Where is the Fourth Estate?? The Framers did put guardrails in the Constitution. Though they could not have anticipated a figure like Trump who has no apparent interest in the law or the well being of the country, some of those rails -- eg power in the states -- may hold.

Try martial law
It's been on the news all day.
He is making it an entertaining circus for Putin’s glee. It has always been Putin’s dream to make our government a laughingstock. It’s a dream come true. For our country it’s just the beginning of the violations of Lady Liberty.
And our U.S. Constitution.
Really! Putin must be having the time of his life. To reach into our society using FOX Entertainment News, and to get the consent of our elected Representatives. I wonder how far he'll take it. Maybe we'll become a Soviet colony. So far, so good!

Your comment about Tulsi is particularly important.
Gabbard used to be my Representative. She is completely without principles. Her constituents found out the hard way that she is just a social climber interested in self promotion and power. Which makes her an ideal MAGA. How in the hell do you go from being a Bernie supporter to a MAGA? She is a Russian asset on top of everything else. Damn, what a catastrophe waiting to happen.

Besides emailing and calling our senators, what can we as individuals due to prevent this from happening? This is absolutely frightening!
Nothing. It’s up to the remaining sane Republican senators to stand up and do the right thing! Re-election be damned.
Are there any sane GOP Senators who are willing to stand up to Trump.. Doubtful but hoping there are at least a half dozen.
Maybe Murkowski. Collins? Who TF knows about her. Romney? Retiring. The rest? Spineless, immoral bootlickers, probably.
Collins can’t be taken by her word. This is troubling. We must hold these elected officials accountable
The Oath Keepers will have to change their oaths - they would be our best fighters once redirected.
Not much until 2026
It won't do any good contacting our Idaho representatives. They are fully on board!
It will leave a permanent record that at least some of their constituents objected.
What can an average American with limited means due to counter and resist this diabolical mess? I have already emailed my Senators to vote no on these 4 nominations and I am encouraging friends and family to do the same. Any other suggestions?
In the short term, maybe not much. Over the years, take every opportunity you have to say something to people who might listen.
These appointments are truly
bizarre. There should be a limit to political pay back for being a constant toady to Trump. Especially when these picks are particularly inappropriate and unqualified. And Elon has worn out his welcome, but hasn’t seemed to have annoyed Dear Leader as of yet. Which is surprising, as his ego is at least as big as Trump’s if not bigger.

I think hell might freeze over before any of the cult admits they were wrong.
The Heritage Foundation is Trump's brain. Don't be surprised if the Christianity you hear isn't from the Russian Orthodoxy!
Adam this is what we all knew he would do. He’s proving how right we were about everything.
This is all pretty funny. SNL couldn't write this sketch. A flock of back stabbing dunces.

Agree. And the Bible itself says one should not add to it. These extremists are hypocrites at best and obvious supremacist.
I'm with you but I'm not going to curl up in a corner! Trying to find a constructive outlet.
All the Republicans are doing mental math here trying to figure out how to come out on top after Trump's reign is over. They're going to have to decide if going 100% MAGA will help them after Trump is gone after 4 years.

Let us hope that he is, indeed, gone in 4 years.
Don’t count on it.
It's become very suspect that the Orange Nutjob got help from his girlfriend, Pootin and his mistress, Musty to "win" the election. The math doesn't add up.

Putins work is finished in the US without a shot being fired.
Once again legacy media is failing to cover the dangers and potential damage in Trump's plans. Where is the Fourth Estate?? The Framers did put guardrails in the Constitution. Though they could not have anticipated a figure like Trump who has no apparent interest in the law or the well being of the country, some of those rails -- eg power in the states -- may hold.
They are watching their wallet size grow!
Putin and his cronies must be chortling over DJT's masterful strokes fulfilling Putin's wishes for discombobulating our beloved country.
