I have sighed a lot today. It's hard to not feel defeated.
Sad day, now 1436 days of fascism and misery
So is no one gonna mention president musk's nazi salute?
I remain in awe that someone who is Constitutionally ineligible to hold office, who is a rapist, and a convicted felon, an enemy of democracy, was not only on ballots, but won an election, and was permitted to be sworn in.
The US is not a country of law, nor a government by or for the people. It is a fully captured oligarchy.
And knowing all of this, more than 1/3 of registered voters didn't care enough about anything but their own reflection on their phone to cast a vote.
I'd rather watch paint dry.
Agreed; I've been enjoying some of the reactions from his pikachu-faced base that are weeping that they are locked outside and cannot see their golden god-emperor being crowned king of the universe.
It's funny to watch how CLOSE they are to figuring it out. But they are almost wired not to be able to put it together, or if they do, suffer under incredible pain from the cognitive dissonance because every bit of their identity is about supporting donvict, and yet....deep down, they know they were conned.
The broligarchs and all the other important people will get to attend, inside. All the voters that donvict promised all kinds of shit to - they can stand out in the cold. Literally.
The US government now has completed its transition into a full den of scum and villainy.
The top will be gleefully indulging in grotesque self enrichment.
Musk will race himself to become the first trillionaire, all the while kicking downwards.
For all of them it will be indeed a golden time of free money.
MAKE AMERICA GRIFT AGAIN
I think calling this the Rug Pull Administration is highly apt.
Still waiting for a Luigi to show up.
we all need another hero. we all need to find the way home. All we want is life beyond, this fucked up shit.
I typically refrain from posting political things on my socials but seeing so many people on TV and the internet proudly cheering for someone so full of unconcealed hatred makes me happy that I don't live in the United States.
It feels that way because that's what the media is trying to portray.
Wat? This shit ain't spin.
If you look at direct quotes from Trump and his immediate staff it's very overt hate.
They haven't been hiding it.
I'm talking about how it feels the entire world is cheering Trump on. Chill the fuck out the hate is fucking obvious.

Rightly so, but much of the world is headed in this direction, it seems.
The longer he talks, the more it's clear he has no idea...
He wants to abolish the "Green New Deal", he knows that was never passed, right?
Whether he does or not, it doesn't matter. He definitely knows the idiot masses don't. And since he's scared the media into not fact checking him, many of them won't find out. Many more won't believe or care if you told them he was wrong.
He'll continue to say crap like this and if he's called on it, he'll herald it into a smear on his opponents and a victory for the people...
Just had his signing ceremony, 2:15 PM Eastern:
22 cabinet level appointments
47 sub-cabinet level appointments
31 acting designations and appointments
15 chairman appointments
Proclamation that all future inaugurations have flags flown at full mast.
Break for lunch.
No mention of the 200+ executive actions promised in the inauguration speech.
NBC news just broke in to announce Biden just pardoned his entire family.
Mars? Elon to be a trillionaire soon then.
Melania looking like she's already channeling her inner Hugo Boss.

Yeah, I'll just continue to avoid watching any video media today listen to my Miles Davis LP and drink my coffee.
