“I tend to think it’s more important to get an FBI director who will dismantle the deep state than it is for Republicans to lose a vote 49-46 rather than 49-45,” he added on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Vance was referring to the Senate vote Monday to confirm Embry J. Kidd, a Biden nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, a vote that he and several other Republican senators missed.

If I’m not mistaken some of the beemers of the world rolled their eyes and called us crazy…

I also saw some talk of hundreds of thousands deported in the first either hundred days or 6 months… it’s gonna happen fast.

Trump is threatening 25% tariffs on all products coming into the U.S. from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% on all Chinese goods above any existing tariffs already in effect. He’s insane. He’s also still making like the countries will pay the tariffs and not the companies at the ports.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

The Resistance begins now.

This is a pro-Democracy account.

Dear America… you were warned.

How can everyone around him possibly believe the same thing and not tell him gently?

Because their political survival requires sucking up to him.

If Trump said two plus two equals nine, they would emphatically agree with him and defend that assertion.

That’s a scary place to reside in that case.

You're right. One of my trans friends was brutally attacked tonight. That's not a problem in Trumpy land.
That's awful to hear, MCRF. I hope your friend makes a full recovery.
My friend was released early on Monday November 11th after a battery of tests which confirmed the concussion. She ended up with a heavily bruised hip and some minor memory issues. I think the emotional toll is what I worry about most as she refuses to go to Thanksgiving and is afraid to leave the house. Thankfully, she works from home so she is working again as of last week after using some personal time.

Doesn’t Elon get a shit load of parts for Tesla from overseas? I think this furthers the rift between them. Elon might be the only one to get him to back down.

Definitely thankful. But it is still scary. Definitely need pepper spray when I decide to medically start transitioning. I am tempted to wait and see how crazy things may get first.

Have you considered protecting yourself to the full extent of the law? Is that something you'd be comfortable with?

I have, and I haven't cut myself off from a former lt. colonel friend who served in the Army. He lives not far from me. He owns dozens of guns and told me he would give me one if I needed. He's a Trumper but probably closer to how you were before you joined us. It's good to have a friend who is military experience when SHTF. Come to think of it, I know two. Sometimes, survival is the better part of valor. It's the old adage: "Would you rather be dead and right in an argument or the alternative?"

I am a little uneasy with some of my mental health issues though if I am being honest. If things get bad enough, it might be worth the risk.
