My god they are talking about #Trump as the Speaker of the House?? If that is possible, a non-House member as Speaker, this is pure lunacy, just put a stake in it, we are done. (Stake as in through the ♥️ of vampires) The only person worse than Jordan or Green would be #TheHeadLiar. Thank you Republicans for the potential Icing on the Cake of Our Demise as a functional republic. 🔥🤡🔥

@guncelawits On the #GOzP side you must also consider intelligence (lack of) and preponderance of end justifies the means, cheat to win, and blatant anti-democracy, anti-Constitutional attitudes. If you want to consider the term “anti-American”, Republicans following Red State efforts are the epitome of this characteristic, undermining our institutions, transforming the Fed/Local Govt into Fascism central, if we allow them to. 🤔
I wrote a column for the local paper that was published last week.
With the climate crisis in full swing I was trying to point out the need for managed retreat from not only physical infrastructure but since everything requires the use of fossil fuels still we need managed retreat from the non-essential.

@flexghost We were exposed to a lot of Jordan 🔥during the Bangazi hearings and he’s among the most shallow hyper-partisan, Trump fanboy simpletons elected to Congress. He’s down there with Marjorie🔥.
@RollingStone Yes, the end maybe on the way because of stupidity like this. 🤔

@Nonilex #TheHeadLiar is vital to Putin’s efforts. So far I’ve seen no pro-Russian propaganda on Mastodon, granted there is a lot I’ve not seen. 🤔
#Putin’s Next Target: #US Support for #Ukraine
Putin intends to try to end US & European support for Ukraine by using his #spy agencies to push #propaganda supporting pro-Russian political parties & by stoking #ConspiracyTheories w/ new #tech.
The #Russia #disinformation aims to increase support for #candidates opposing Ukraine #aid w/the ultimate goal of stopping international #MilitaryAssistance to #Kyiv.
#ClarenceThomas recuses himself from #Eastman case because of her links to #VirginiaThomas.
How can that be?

@tsyum Capitalism only stays productive for a majority if it remains strictly regulated with oversight designed to keep society stable and happy. Otherwise it’s “greed is good” and moving back to the age of tycoons, with average citizens getting the short end of the stick, or if you prefer, trickledown, the crumbs that fall off the wealthy’s plates.
The cost of everything these past couple years is corporate greed (100%).
Defenders of Washington seem to use "inflation" and "supply chain" as if these things are out of our control. But, corporations in nearly every sector - from utilities to food - have been making record profit while more Americans find themselves impoverished. Let's be real. Get more angry about those stock buy-backs. Keep fighting. USA corruption is staggering, so let's make the rich pay or get rid of $ entirely.

@ArenaCops @AlliFlowers Background checks as in he broke the law as an indicted person.
@Huntn00 @AlliFlowers Background checks? OK, his antisocial personality disorder & disregard for right & wrong should definitely be checked to prove he's completely unfit to ever possess a firearm — he could kill Americans on Fifth Ave & elsewhere.
When not getting Americans killed by incitement of violence & insurrection.
