“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.”

Donald Trump hates me and Republicans think I am the enemy. Trolls and critics can say what they want, but they should know that I wear their scorn as a badge of honor.
As FDR said, “I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.”

Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust. And whether it’s Natalie Harp printing out Donald Trump’s daily dose of delusion and flattery, or Peter Navarro steering taxpayer-funded loans to Trump family investments, or Pete Hegseth deluding the president daily into deepening this quagmire in the Middle East, no one cares about their feelings.
The sailors on the Lincoln are fighting his war, a war based on lies, while he plays with his new ballroom, flies around on a jet given to him by a foreign prince, and retreats into this circle of sycophantic aides who tell him every day what he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear.
This entire White House is responsible for lying the country into war, and for the rest of their careers, they will be known for having participated in this obscenity.

How the fuck did we let that evil pig get away with all of this and retake The White House?

Last year, Jeff Bezos sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring while his real tax rate was less than 1%.
Under my 5% billionaire wealth tax, Mr. Bezos would owe $12.7 billion & still have $240 billion left over.

The rise of Trump and American fascism could never have taken root without a mass base of people who are simultaneously stupid enough to believe the lies, hateful enough to cheer the cruelty, and ignorant enough to never notice the pattern. Add the billionaire class's pure transactional greed, and the result is not an accident — it is the deliberate Nazification of America, cheered on by the very people it will eventually discard.

“It should surprise no one that the man who made his living selling Trump-branded condos to Russian mobsters through anonymous LLCs, and who paid a ten million dollar fine to FinCEN in 2015 as a settlement in his money-laundering case involving his Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City (which was found to have willfully and repeatedly violated the Bank Secrecy Act), had his supplicant Treasury Secretary gut the Corporate Accountability Act this week; effectively opening the floodgates to unlimited money-laundering and a tsunami of political and financial corruption.
This follows a Trump-appointed regulator preliminarily approving a federally chartered trust bank for his family’s World Liberty Financial cryptocurrency firm, which is run by Zach Witkoff, son of Steve, Trump’s erstwhile Special Envoy.
An apex moment of self-dealing, marrying the powers of the presidency to personal financial interests. The last man in the world who should have his own bank is Donald Trump. The last people on earth you would want to trust your money with are the execrable Trump clan.
Never before has such a pustular cabal of treasonous, glutinous venality metastasized so swiftly and eaten away at the undergirding of a system of government that may not just be temporarily broken - it may be heading towards a place well beyond repair.
To say the fox is guarding the hen house is too weak an analogy at this point. What we are witnessing is larceny on a scale we have not witnessed before in this nation. What occurred in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union may pale in comparison to the thievery and corruption now taking place in the U.S.A.”noelcasler.substack.com/p/th…

Young people interested in democratic socialism—not the psychotic Stalinism of Trump’s friends Kim Jong Un, President Xi and Vladimir Putin!—are more than welcome in the Democratic Party I believe in. Young Americans are not talking about the dictatorship of the proletariat or seizing the means of production. They just want healthcare for everyone in the richest country in the world, a dramatically increased minimum wage and to get rid of corporate rule by our dangerous billionaire oligarchs. Down with Trump and the octogenarian oligarchs; power to young America.

Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020. That's not my opinion, it's a fact. The votes were counted, recounted, audited, and litigated.
He lost.

Dictator Trump emerges. Threatens the networks for rightly not airing this garbage. Most shameful primetime address from the WH ever.
Robert Babecki retweeted
Undermining trust in the justice and electoral systems, denigrating the media, targeting rivals. I’ve seen this playbook before in Putin’s Russia in the early 2000s.
America’s democratic institutions may be stronger, but we should never take them—or our rights—for granted.

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.
Robert Babecki retweeted
The dumbest & most deranged man to ever hold political office in U.S.A will stand before the American people tonight & lie to promote debunked theories about 2020 election because the world’s biggest loser can’t stand that he lost. FYI, he’s also a drug-addicted sexual predator.
Robert Babecki retweeted
Trump suggested the "Deep State" hid from him that China was trying to interfere in our elections...
... maybe he forgot that we personally briefed him on the threat throughout 2018.
Big mistake to make claims living humans can refute.

Hey, @ThomTillis Todd Blanche lied over and over when he said he could not legally meet with survivors. Surprise- once you told him that your vote might depend on it, he suddenly found he could. And then slammed the door shut on them. A vote for him would be a middle finger to the constitution. I hope you’re better than that.
Robert Babecki retweeted
In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol.
Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.
Robert Babecki retweeted
Boy he must have really been hoping no one would look at the documents he talked about tonight because they underscore what I've been saying for 6 years, which is that the Trump-Ukraine Scandal was infinitely worse than people thought from the facts revealed during Impeachment #1
