Pay attention Tankies. This is the way.

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

There it is!
“Take away women’s right to vote” is now officially a plank of the GOP platform. (since they don’t have a platform and whatever Trump endorses is MAGA gospel.)

Journalists, PUH-LEEEEZE hang this around the neck of every Republic and you interview between now and November!

People need to wake the F’k up…

Folks be thinking that fascism is gonna arrive here wearing a swastika and a brown shirt.

And like “that can’t happen here, that’s only in the movies.”

Or that Orange Man is a 🤡, he can’t get elected, or if he does we’ll just have to put up with him for four years.

Sorry. I regret to inform you that fascism has already arrived.

It wears spectacles and a tie. It’s mild mannered and administrative. It has its platitudes well-rehearsed.

It’s fueled by secretive (and blatant) billionaires who sit behind the scenes (or at the helm of major media platforms) pouring fuel on the fires of racism, trans and gay-phobia, and immigrant hate every day.

These fuckers know exactly what they’re doing. They actually don’t care if Biden gets a second term, because they’re playing the long game.

Just look at their patriarch, Putin. How long has he been in power? Is he showing any signs of going away?

Nope. We are the frogs, and they are boiling the water.

“I’ve been deeply concerned about recent accusations of impartiality,” said Roberts, while holding a Trump-branded lighter beneath a copy of the US Constitution.

“We need the American people to know exactly where we stand. And that’s directly on their faces, while stomping.” The Chief Justice then explained in detail how he intended to swing the election in favor of his most beloved rapist. “More delays. More denials. More dubious decisions.

And if all goes according to plan: death to democracy.” The Chief Justice then donned a “Trump Train” conductors hat, screaming ‘Choo-choo! Choo-choo!’ while dancing off the stage. Neil Gorsuch, stepping up to the podium, quickly echoed his colleague’s commitment to despotism.”

SWALWELL: Any time your father was in government, prior to the Presidency or before, did he ever operate a hotel?
BIDEN: No, he has never operated a hotel.

SWALWELL: So he’s never operated a hotel where foreign nationals spent millions at that hotel while he was in office?

BIDEN: No, he has not.

SWALWELL: Did your father ever employ in the Oval Office any direct family member to also work in the Oval Office?

BIDEN: My father has never employed any direct family members, to my knowledge.

SWALWELL: While your father was President, did anyone in the family receive 41 trademarks from China?

BIDEN: No.

SWALWELL: As President and the leader of the party, has your father ever tried to install as the chairperson of the party a daughter-in-law or anyone else in the family?

BIDEN: No. And I don’t think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC.
