Time to cash in on that sweet sweet tariff money?
Trump is such a little bitch
You’d be in deep trouble if they knew how to read
This is harder to type than it probably should be. Back in 2015, because of the way I was raised in an extreme conservative evangelical household as a preacher’s kid, I was a Republican. I had already broken with that world in every meaningful way, but I had not actually sat down and examined what I believed. So there I was, still actively involved in politics. I helped campaign for Romney. I made more than three thousand phone calls, which I am pretty sure qualifies as a minor war crime. I was on the election staff of a representative who, for the record, had not been elected yet when I worked for her. I was a special elector. I was on the county central committee. I worked every election since 2011 with an R behind my name.
And then they picked the orange man. I wrote the Chairwoman a very long letter explaining, in polite terms, that this was not going to work for me. I switched my affiliation to Independent. Unfortunately, I still had not figured out where the world was heading, so I voted for Gary Johnson. The less said about that period of my life, the better.
When the Senate Election Committee decided to finance Roy Moore, I walked directly to the courthouse, changed my registration to Democrat, and started working elections for that party instead. There is a point where a person realizes the boat is not just sinking, it was built upside down to begin with.
Anyway, based on the tone of that old letter, I find myself hoping I ended up on a list somewhere for Pam Bondi. It would be nice to feel important for a moment. Besides, what a spectacular waste of resources it would be to track down one Army veteran who lives in an RV in the middle of nowhere.
Out of the current "R" brand spread, Romney at least had some character. I wouldn't beat yourself up too bad about things you did many many years ago, reflection is hard, growing up is hard - you are a champion for being man enough and introspective enough to grow as a person. Also I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing.

It's funny because in the early 00s I worked for a gay rights organization and was told pretty flat out, the FBI keeps at least a list with my name on it, if not my own file (holdover from the civil rights era when they did this to all progressive groups). And then Obama came along and we thought a new era was being ushered in. And now in 2025 I run a gay nonprofit and probably have an FBI file again. Oh well, means I'm doing something right, fuck 'em.
got to admit, obama played us good. campaign of Hope and Change followed by 8 years of the same tired old playbook
My favorite thing about Lemmy is people are willing to make accurate criticisms about Obama and his policies instead of simping for him because he's charasmatic and a Democrat.
There's a weird disconnect between the left and the right where MAGA especially is so slavishly cultish that their guys can do no wrong. Whereas on the left, we generally have the critical thinking skills to admit that our guys aren't always doing the right thing.

annoying part is you can see they're setting up the same shit with Newscom/Pritzker
make some big publicity stunts on tv talking a big game, doing these cute little marches, all while greenlighting ICE to harass their surrounding poor neighborhoods long as they stay out of their donor neighborhoods

Thank you. Thanks for sharing this "seen that, didn't care then, didn't care now" attitude. This is the way you fight and dispell the stochastic terrorism behind this "leak."
Dance, be freaky, don't let the man get in your head.
and probably have an FBI file again.
I doubt you've ever stopped having one.

Federal Bureau of Idiots.
I’m rewatching The X-Files at the moment, and it’s so weird to remember a time when people believed that government agencies were staffed by people smart enough to investigate or cover up alien conspiracies.
It actually works as evidence against the theories that aliens have visited earth, because if it existed, Patel would have accidentally tweeted the Roswell autopsy video while eating his lunch on the toilet by now.
Right? I laugh now about “how organized and responsive” governments are portrayed. Hurricane Katrina was also a giveaway; but the last 10 years (especially the last year)? Gong show!
Edit: If aliens showed now, ICE would just make them disappear if they couldn’t be monetized. I miss Mulder and Scully.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in a text message after the 2020 election that he "passionately hated" Donald Trump, according to new court filings. - BBC
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitch McConnell said after the 2020 election that then-President Donald Trump was “stupid as well as being ill-tempered,” a “despicable human being” and a “narcissist,” according to excerpts from a new biography of the Senate Republican leader that will be released this month.
Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon has described the Trump Tower meeting between the president’s son and a group of Russians during the 2016 election campaign as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic”, according to an explosive new book seen by the Guardian.
Amerikkka, now with thoughtcrime.
Democrats really dropped when the ball when they voted for wet-noodle establishment candidates over progressives like Bernie Sanders.
But hey, at least they don't have to pay more in taxes!
Fuck off fascists. You gonna arrest 70% of this country??? Even your own "side" is turning on you. "My groceries are too high." <-- that is anti-PEDOnald. "I don't like child rapists." <--- that is anti-PEDOnald.
This pathetic POS needs to face the harshest punishment allowed for what he has not only done to little kids but to the entire world.
He won't. He'll die of old age after the best medical care in the world exhausts all options to keep him alive.
The best we can hope for is a stroke to give him locked in syndrome so he can experience a narcissist's hell for a few years first.

Donald Trump is such a disgusting criminal individual it isn't funny. Everything he accuses his enemies of he is guilty of himself, including the recent accusations of mortgage fraud.
In his mind rules and laws aren't for allowing society to function, but as tools to get his enemies in trouble, and at the same none should apply to him.
Can I report myself? Is there a limit?
I feel like this could be a revival of the Reddit Area 51 fun run. “They can’t take all of us!”

The largest untapped market in the country: people who dislike trump. It's genius
Gee I wonder who could've seen this coming since the post-9/11 bloodthirst...
So, the "transgender ideology" is domestic extremism reportable to the FBI? Does that mean someone could collect on the bounty if they name transgender neighbors or family to the FBI? What happens to the named person? They sent to a ~~internment~~ deportation camp?
What if we just set up a ghetto for the undesirables to be relocated to?
If you snitch on a transgender person you're admitting the existence of transgender people. To the camps with you!
It's sickening how this regime is persecuting trans people.
Collect your bounty: I cannot wait to see Trump in prison once he gets impeached after the midterms.
He's not going anywhere. I think the dems will get the house in 26 but it's not very likely to get the senate majority, and even if they do no fucking way 67 of those cowards would vote to convict on impeachment.
Now I wouldn't mind if the house impeaches every fucking day just to make them constantly declare a no vote on a never ending litany of crimes. Plus tying up the government is better than taking time to pass whatever laws trickle down from the mad king's dementia farts.

Pick me! pick me pick me. I fart in your general direction! I think trump is the anti-christ. Peter Teal told me so.
I have a social media identity I use to troll MAGA people. It’s a person’s first/last name but it’s also an anagram. If you rearrange the letters it spells “death to trump.” So whenever the MAGA people @me, they’re unwittingly wishing death upon their dear leader.

If you can anonymously report anyone, what's to stop people from making bots to mass report the people closest to him? Hmmm
This is some fucked up shit right here. You have your own STASI now in the USA. Congrats on that, fucking morons. 🤣 HOW could you elect this dude TWICE?! You folks are nuttier than nuts.
You're probably not going to reach a lot of trump supporters here. If you want to talk to the ones reasonable try twitter or Facebook.

Remember - the conservatives represent free speech maximalism and actual liberty and freedom. Also, they love the Constitution.
