Why not? There are plenty of pro Trump/Vance white nationalist idiots who harassed and followed documented and undocumented immigrants and people of the Jewish faith. Why not follow and harass genuine anti-democracy traitors?

So you think these people who were let go should do the heavy lifting because…what else have they got to do without a job? That’s insulting and not at all compassionate. These are career people who’ve just had the rug pulled out from under them. They are deflated. They need to pay mortgages, rent, childcare, for FOOD, gasoline, their monthly bills, HEALTHCARE. We should expect them to get out there and make noise?

I’m not generalizing over who will do the proverbial heavy lifting. All I’m saying is that I agree with whomever wishes to harass anti-democracy traitors.

The treatment of fired government workers by a chainsaw wielding South African Nazi is a national disgrace and history will record it as such. These American citizens are being treated as criminals.

As the MAGAs have posted -- she is an adoring and loyal woman who loves and supports her man. That's it nothing else not even a person with interests or any skill or education or personality or individuation, just an adoring and loyal woman her supports her man. When what we need as an example to our daughters is someone like Jill Biden our former First Lady and Kamala Harris our chosen next POTUS who lost because lots of us did not vote and as documented in video interviews did not even know what day the elections were being held; in other words, did not give a flying fuck!

RAISSA's avatar

The MAGAs love her, and the posts are so misogynist such as expressing how much they like seeing the adoring loyalty of a good woman for her man. That is the role a growing number perhaps both men and women profess. It is so repulsive; makes we want to scream!! Will this be the doctrine our granddaughters will face. Women are getting stronger and what is happening is a fear-based yank backward. I keep thinking the majority are all at the end of their lives and will soon leave the playing field. I hope this is true, plus most of them eat too much grease and fat and sugar, so they are in effect doing themselves in.

Of note is the number of female Prime Ministers our allies accept without a flinch. Perhaps much of their success both domestically and abroad is due to the fact theirs is a community of people who allow every qualified person to participate in leadership roles, and this acceptance is now baked into their culture for it has long ago proven to be a benefit.

Why narrow the talent pool and give way to an ancient misogyny when it is proven by nations outside of America that there is so much benefit when every qualified person has the opportunity to serve their nation as a leader, a Prime Minister in fact

From what I saw of today's meeting of NATO leaders where President Zelinsky was hosted in London the discarding of misogyny has strengthened those nations.

I keep wondering the % who didn't vote this time ... if it was based on misogyny alone. I tend to think yes it was. Young men highly influenced by Andrew Tate...friend of Donald.

But am also hearing rather detailed rumblings about how the chainsaw guy manipulated the voting machines, counts are not adding up. Too late now but recounts should have happened in at least half of swing states various counties perhaps. (See greg palast ) at least 2 other cyber sec experts sounding off about it too.

Republicans /Vought/heritage foundation want to roll society back to 1950s and take away our vote too eventually.

2022 roll back of roe v wade took away rights that my generation gained in the 70's. We are in for a really long dark dark time in the USA unless the regime implodes .

I do worry for his kids. He has to be at the very least emotionally abusive. We heard him tell one of them to shut up already or something like that.

Look at Musks 4 year old. Children are innocent. I do think adults corrupt kids. I mean that 4 year old was repeating some wild and scary stuff. But we should all fear and worry what these kids will become under these parents. I can only imagine their home life.

Unfortunately social services rarely steps in. Especially when it’s a family with wealth. Social services fails so many children. And you’d have to provide evidence I think. It differs state to state.

Plus do we still have social services? Or was that gutted too?

This is insulting to women. She could divorce him. She’s her own person. People like Usha and Melania know exactly who they married and had kid(s) with, they agree with them. Not all women are kind and moral. Have you heard of Ghislaine Maxwell? Or just seen any Karen viral video? Women tend to have more empathy and compassion. But that does not mean all women. I say this as intersectional feminist cisgender woman. Stop giving these kind of women the benefit of the doubt. They’re not dumb.

I believe she's in this for the same reason. She was just named by Trump as one of the Kennedy Center Board of Directors that just helped elevated Trump as the Chair. I think she's all in on this one, profiteering to the max. Now he just has to change the center's name from Kennedy to Trump!

I love that new name for assistant clown. It's just perfect because he's just a dumbbell. The state of Ohio should apologize for letting him get into politics and Washington should apologize for letting him in to smell up the oval office. MTG's boyfriend should be thrown out of the press corps for his insulting comment to President Zelinsky. And secretary of state mush faced Rubio shed just sink even farther into that couch and keep his mouth shut if he can't say anything decent. Can't believe how many empty headed, uncouth jerk faces there are in this administration.

I made this reel in beautiful BLUE California today during a walk! As I watched this red-winged blackbird it reminded me of the Beatles song about the civil rights movement, and then sadly of how far we have regressed in a short 2 months. As I watched the black bird sing, I started to hear more and more blackbirds join the chorus and together they made a sound that could not be ignored!

Very sorry for your situation. I know we need to continue to resist the immoral actions being taken by this administration and the spineless GOP in Congress today. Trump and Vance are making fools of themselves on the world stage. So stupid of Trump to align himself with Putin. No one can defend his position. They all talk around it but they cannot defend it. Placing blame on Zelenskyy is laughable. I only ask that God continue to bless us. No reason to believe he will stop now.

I'm afraid that the American people are going to need more than a god to help themselves out of the problems that not voting created and it's probably just the beginning of regret because the sick people will begin to die from the cuts to Medicaid.
