The Iranian Lego-animation team is on BlueSky. I guess this group didn't know that.

DONALD TRUMP: Mail-in voting is CHEATING.
ALSO DONALD TRUMP: I did a mail-in ballot because I'm the President of the United States.

This is not a joke or sarcasm. This was literally Donald Trump's rhetoric over the course of mere days last month (and it reinforces Greg's summary of Trumpism).

This psychology—which you accurately described—is simply completely inexcusable after we collected "Donald Trump tried to have his own Vice President lynched as part of a coup attempt" as a data point.

Again, Richard Nixon floated deploying nuclear weapons as a means to bring a quick end to the Vietnam War.

Now bear in mind that Donald Trump is vastly more insane than Richard Nixon, and you can imagine how he would have handled the Vietnam War (on top of refusing to serve in it).

...during a fucking war.

Conservatives have argued against Black people, women, LGBT people, etc. joining the military on the grounds that this would "undermine military readiness." Meanwhile, proclaiming "Our troops have the right to get sick and potentially infect their fellow service members" during a war is fine.

"This is an EXTREME example and probably going a bit too far"

Not an extreme example. You didn't go too far.

A symbol may have been benign in the past, but once fascists have co-opted it to advance genocide, that symbol can never be viewed in the same way again. And that's the correct response.

The remaining women in Donald Trump's Cabinet rn.

Love how elected Republicans invested time and energy trying to downplay the fact that this is a war, and then Donald Trump compares what he's doing to the most destructive worldwide conflict in all of human history.

If you are not currently using your position as a Congressperson to call for Donald Trump's impeachment, you are violating your oath of office, period.

While the Constitution says that the President can be impeached for various "high crimes and misdemeanors", it did explicitly state two specific crimes that are grounds for impeachment, and one of them is "Bribery." The remedy for this scenario was anticipated and does exist. So that being said...

One of the most eerie assessments I've heard about people who lie is that sometimes they lie, even when they can't ultimately get away with lying in the long run, just to demonstrate their power over reality...or my personal corollary, just to demonstrate their power over someone else. Applies here.

US military rules of engagement (ROE) exist in part to protect US military personnel.

If we are perceived as a military presence that will not cross certain lines, this informs an enemy's ROE.

If we are perceived as a military presence that will cross every line... that informs an enemy's ROE too.

The fact that members of his security detail needed SWAT-grade breaching equipment to retrieve the FBI director's drunk ass should be a national scandal right now, and it isn't.

Republican voters will never admit that they shot American hegemony in the face over a Black President and the prospect of women presidents, but that’s what they did.

I never want to hear the words “women are too emotional to be president” ever again.

Before the Affordable Care Act, here's how the health insurance industry made money:

They collected health insurance premiums and tried to find any excuse to not pay for health care. And if you had pre-existing conditions, you were fucked.

Taking on this system was very ambitious, and we did it.

I couldn't imagine saying this after hanging out with Barack Obama literally yesterday.

We're at a point where Trump supporters could easily conclude that Jesus Christ is too "woke", but the antichrist is "saying what we're all thinking."

This is what Donald Trump's base voted for, and that includes my 3-time Donald Trump voting mother.

I have voted to uphold her rights as a consistent Democratic voter, and she voted for Donald Trump 3 times in a row.

A white GOP woman voter voting for Donald Trump 3 times is why we're here.

Honestly, her finishing third in the 2020 Massachusetts Democratic presidential primary makes complete sense now.

Also said that sexual assault victims should "take some responsibility."

We're a country that came up with a vaccine that significantly reduced the risk of dying during a viral pandemic, and the response to this information by a significant chunk of Americans was to complain.

If Donald Trump experiences no consequences for this, the actual safe assumption is that all future Republican candidates for President are running to exploit the public office for financial gain, and they'll just say "I'm here to carry on Donald Trump's legacy" as code for this.

Once Donald Trump told such a blatantly obvious lie that a child could see through—him saying that his depiction of himself as a Christ-like figure was "supposed to be [him] as a doctor"—and it didn't lead to a media outrage, that's when I stopped assuming media outrage towards Donald Trump exists.

DONALD TRUMP: *stages coup attempt in which he tried to have his own Vice President killed*
NEW YORK TIMES: The President has a "complicated relationship" with the United States Constitution.

"The only bullshit that I wanted Donald Trump to advance is white supremacy."

This is the translation to every Ann Coulter social media post that speciously *appears* critical of Donald Trump.

It's actually wild that the worst people on the Supreme Court were *not* nominated by Donald Trump. There really was no "good" Republican Party.

The Strait of Horseshit is open.

No matter how much Donald Trump copes through posting, these are the advisories that insurance companies are going to be listening to.
