As Molly Ivins So Often Said:

I keep thinking about how many people in elected office are drooling dipshits who believe chemtrails are real, vaccines are evil, and Trump is sane. https://t.co/ttLT8NzS0J

"It’s a representative government.”

I thought Trump said the Syrian government was our friend now? He invited their president to the Oval Office and praised him effusively. Gave him a bottle of Trump Cologne. Even sprayed some on him to give him a sample. The Senator from Tel Aviv apparently doesn’t agree: pic.twitter.com/R9irN4XYsv

Where else but South Carolina? Home of Fort Sumter.

How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful.

I saw worse in the’60’s. Except now, the states are the “good guys.” Remember when the GOP called the states “laboratories of democracy”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Basically, 3 out of 10 people will always say "whatever Trump wants," which tells you just how small his cult of personality is. But it's enough, and concentrated in the right places, to scare Republican electeds who fear being primaried. https://t.co/ZDjP7M95bD

It would seem narratives aren’t reality after all.

Another proud graduate of the Trump University School of Law.  Although…has J.D. Vance approved this yet? (And no, if you were wondering; not even the Insurrection Act would give Trump the authority to do that. That would be martial law, and there is no provision for suspending the Constitution (10th Amendment in particular) in the Constitution.

To be led by a psychotic imbecile like Donald Trump — and to have people around him supporting using a trillion dollar military to do violence against allies because of a demented temper tantrum— means there must be real action by people in the USA and internationally to stop… https://t.co/2CnKeWwUBe

Well, the Senate won’t vote to remove (probably not even in ‘27-‘28), and we’d get the same Administration, with Vance as POTUS. 

We need Congress to grow a spine.

We’re fucked, aren’t we? All for the price of eggs.🍳
