Kind of bored with people citing criminal codes like jack shit will happen.
It's like a resistance parody. "Sir you are in violation of civil code sir, you must resign immediately sir or the marshal of the supreme court will be notified sir"
None of the are going to jail. Reagan didn't. Bush didn't. Cheney didn't. At this point I'm just hoping history will remember them negatively but based on the way people on the purported left now pant over Reagan/McCain/Bush I'm not optimistic.

gop house leaders said that trump budget request for pentagon budget increase of 0.3% is ok because the world is more than 0.3% more dangerous than a year ago. such stupid framing. like the pentagon is starting from shoe string right now.
seconds after attacking medicare for all, gop leader says we need new submarines, new bombers, new missiles. lol.
its not that we democrats are great on curbing defense spending but lol republicans and their pretense of having to fight 3 front wars.

Touting his upcoming budget proposal, Trump says, "We're doing a lot of things that are good including waste and fraud. Tremendous waste and tremendous fraud."
Referring to the coronavirus, Trump says he was told by China's President Xi, "By April, during the month of April, the heat generally kills this kind of virus, so that would be a good thing."
Trump lies and says Republicans have worked to protect those with preexisting conditions. "We are always going to make sure that that's taken care of ... its a part of our society right now and nobody is going to change it."

Trump is pushing to kill them. americanindependent.com/donald-trump-s…

Why does 2019, as well as the previous years, of the Trump presidency seem so crazy?

It has to do with the narcissism of Trump, the GOP, and how deception works.

I’ll explain more in this thread.

1/
To start, my background is in Interpersonal Communication, and one of my undergrad mentors is a deception expert.

There is a wide variety of deception that can be used to mislead people. For instance, you can have omissions (leaving important information out) and you can have 2/
bald-faced lies (100% fabrication). Another useful term is strategic ambiguity, where words/sentence structure is used to be open to interpretation.

Now, it’s fairly routine for the GOP to use deception in their rhetoric. It has been happening for decades. However, most 3/

You know, this is an interesting forum, most days. People complain about "gatekeepers" in astrology. But then same folks also complain about scammers. Well, the latter is often why the former exists.
And some folks are not scammers as much as ill-informed or misinformed. But when those folks are challenged, then someone cries patriarchy, Eurocentrism, etc. Not that that isn't ever true. (It is.) But sometimes it's as if NO counter-critique is valid.
It's like the wild, wild west #onhere some days. Massive accounts where they essentially say whatever they want to say regardless of vetting to an suspecting public. You know like Virgo and Scorpio used to be the same sign. Then Libra was created. ?????????????!!!!

this feel good copaganda shit is straight up cruel. people are scared of cops because routine traffic stops sometimes result in cops just straight up fucking murdering innocent people.

leave the people alone.
also, pulling someone over without a valid legal reason seems like a blatant abuse of authority & violation of civil rights. maybe don’t do this.
can’t wait for this cool fun community outreach effort by these officers to result in someone getting shot or deported! very cool, officers! maybe cultivate community good will in a way that isn’t a civil rights violation.

#Resistance family: I pretty much dropped off of twitter for a couple weeks, dealing with personal shit and trying to check my rage and restlessness with the status quo. And, of course, everything is worse now, and in a couple more weeks, it will be even more worse. 1/
I'm tired. Of the fact that this Administration continues to defile our country with impunity. Tired of racists (becoming more emboldened by the day). Tired of cops getting away with (literally) murder. Tired of human beings being locked in cages like animals. 2/
I'm tired of the fact that brown Americans are made to feel as though they're not Americans (even those born here). It makes me tired that, as each day brings us closer to school starting, my stomach ties into knots, thinking about what could happen to my children there, 3/

Julian Castro was Secretary of HUD for two years. There was a man named Shaun Donovan who was there for 5 and a half years and was actually the one that implemented the program y’all are talking about. Seriously whenever people bring I know y’all don’t understand how things work.
The DASP (Distressed Asset Stabilization Program) was created by the FHA in 2012. Here’s a decent overview: safeguardproperties.com/fhas-distresse…
What a lot of people don’t realize is that some policies don’t always work exactly as intended and over time they need to be adjusted or modified. Do you know who the Secretary was that implemented changed to the program? JULIAN CASTRO.

2/x @nra but now, having said that, can we dig deeper beyond the NRA, the american left has NO Democratic Party opposition to war. the fake Wakanda domiciled liberals and progressives have been manipulated to allies of the military-industrial-complex
3/x #nra Democrats who wore kente cloth and/or boycotted the State of the Union cannot find their voices to object to America’s bombing of Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Somalia. hmmm
