Ridiculous that this took eight months. Biden should have cleaned house immediately. More important removals needed:
* Wray
* DeJoy (via firing Bloom)
* Garland (should have never been hired)
* Walensky (would be *so bipartisan* to fire her; does Biden not value bipartisanship?!)
From today's @gaslitnation: "Every day, we hear this mantra of excuses from Biden bots: 'But it's only been eight months!' Before that it was 'only six months', 'only three months'. How many YEARS are you going to give him before demanding accountability?" patreon.com/posts/fury-558…
On the postal service: "The loss of something as basic as the US postal service, and the fact that the Biden admin won't even fight for *that* to function -- during a pandemic! -- is a signal that elite power players do not care if this country survives." patreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"One of the reasons for the selective amnesia about the multitude of crimes Trump committed is, perversely, because he was banned from Twitter. Twitter didn't just prevent him from posting new tweets, but erased his entire history." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"On Twitter, Trump would announce future crimes, comment on ongoing crimes, and confess to past crimes. His accomplices did the same thing, particularly before Jan 6. They announced their plans openly. And now the evidence has been erased." - @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"They got rid of the evidence trail. They altered collective memory. This, combined with the switch to Biden and the desire of people to forget a traumatic time period, has skewed perspective on how obvious the danger was and who failed to stop it." patreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"Trump's backers unite the worst of humanity: kleptocrats, theocrats, racists, etc. They all use authoritarian tactics. Where they depart from traditional fascists is in their conception of the state. To them, the state is just something to sell." patreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"That's why it was difficult to battle Trump, because there wasn't the same sort of leverage. Trump did not care if the United States collapsed. Chaos and collapse made his crimes and shakedowns easier. Today's GOP does not care either." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"The GOP does not care if the US collapses. They don't care if there's civil war, if the supply chain is disrupted, if there is mass death and violence. The sovereignty of the US is in grave danger, and it is put there intentionally." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"The Texas abortion ban gives a fancy, institutionalized spin on the white supremacist terrorism plaguing on country. It's the kind of law terrorists will cling to to justify their violence, which is no longer fringe." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"The GOP agenda is a fascist, white terrorist movement hiding behind a veneer of respectability. Look up fascism and you see today's headlines: cult worship of a dictatorial leader, violent suppression and harassment of opposition..." -- @AndreaChalupapatreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"Their backers include SCOTUS, The Federalist Society, The Heritage Foundation, The Family Prayer Breakfast, GOP trifecta states, 'bewildered' NYT columnists, cable news pundits -- a slew of people who choose power and greed over the public good." patreon.com/posts/fury-558…
"George W Bush, like Trump, was an illegitimate president. Like Trump, he destroyed America's standing and made the world less safe by unleashing preventable terror and tragedy." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"George W Bush, the illegitimate president who lost the popular vote and may not have really won the electoral college due to Florida, wasted no time starting not one but two wars in his first term in office." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"George W Bush – I will keep saying his name because people keep trying to rehabilitate him as a retired painter – will go down with Trump as the two worst presidents in history, nearly back to back." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"We’re living through simultaneous revivals of the worst of US history — Civil War, Spanish Flu, Gilded Age wealth inequality, WWII fascism, Watergate/Iran-Contra corruption. Now the 'War on Terror' is old enough for us to relive too." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"There is more: the return of Jim Crow, the political turmoil of the late 1960s, the Red Summer of 1919, the battle for Roe v Wade, and so on. It's like America is on its deathbed watching its life flash before its eyes." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"The attack on voting rights is the deepest threat we face. It is a much greater threat to the US than what's happening in Afghanistan. Democracy is in grave danger and this is not being treated with urgency." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/chance-f…
"Who won the Cold War? Corruption won the Cold War. Mafia states won the Cold War both in the former USSR and in the West. The boundaries between plutocrats and oligarchs and white-collar and organized crime were blurred long ago." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/merkel-b…
"We’re living in an era of utter lack of accountability combined with fealty to foreign powers. It's not a matter of state vs state, but of collaboration between the worst and most hostile operators within those states." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/merkel-b…
"We have a government feigning selective amnesia again and again. Feigning shock in order to avoid accountability and to continue making dirty deals with corrupt countries and transnational organized crime.” -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/merkel-b…
