  2. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    There is no kind of idleness by which we are so easily seduced as that which dignifies itself by the appearance of business, and by making the loiterer imagine that he has something to do which must not be neglected, keeps in perpetual agitation and hurries him from place to place.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1759-03-17), The Idler, No. 48

  6. CW: USPol, Trump

    RE: mindly.social/@cazabon/1143453

    Chuck Schumer has finally intimated he may actually DO SOMETHING about the current political situation. Whether he actually does, and if so, whether he stands his ground or folds like cheap suit, is yet to be seen.

    I hate to say "I told you so", but I told you so. Democratic party politicians have needed to DO THINGS, not write "stongly worded letters", for a long time now. Even Minnesota Governor Walz has been sending out sternly worded press releases and soundbites today - for jebus' sake, you're the governor. You don't say "Somebody should do something!". You get on with it, and you DO SOMETHING.

    A 2-post thread I did last April. It was already clear to me that the slide into fascism was complete; it wasn't something they could work to prevent at that point.

    I weep for the American experiment, and the good American people. The MAGAs, accurately described by Ken White as "shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture", can get fucked.

  8. "I expect evil people to do evil things

    I also expect people selling themselves as a bulwark against those evil people to fight tooth and nail against the evil things evil people do

    only one of these groups is currently performing according to expectations"

  9. RE: sfba.social/@jtgd/115829994245

    So many people do the counterproductive.

    "The Cons won't impeach their glorious leader." is prescribing action to them. It pre-excuses their behavior.

    Doing that takes all the pressure off 'em. It lets 'em off the hook.

    We need to do the opposite of that.

  10. He's building a giant golden ballroom for his next inauguration. He will not leave in 2029.

    Voting is not gonna solve this problem.

    The guy breaks new laws every day. What's gonna keep him from having his masked thugs toss ballot boxes into the sea?

    He must be impeached and removed now.

  11. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you become informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize that nothing is as clear and simple as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing. Being a man of action, I can’t afford to take that risk.
       HOBBES: You’re ignorant, but at least you act on it.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1993-09-21)

  12. ‪Not impeaching is perceived as exoneration. It normalizes crime at the highest levels of gov't.

    It was a perilous road to tread but Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, and the whole gang ran fast AF into that abyss.

    So here we are.

  13. Dear Sean Casten,

    Declaring defeat before you even start to fight is dumb AF.

    Telling the world you're impotent so you're just gonna be a quitter and wait around 'till the next election is pathetic wimpy dishonorable crap.

  14. You think Melania is gonna convince him to resign?

    You think his own cabinet is gonna 25th amendment him?

    The only legal way to remove him is thru impeachment.

    Anyone *not* demanding immediate impeachment for every single illegal act by the Fascist Regime is enabling lawless MAGA dictatorship.

    Soviet leaders also bragged incessantly about how awesome their system was and how wonderful the lives of the people thanks to their wise policies, as nothing worked and everything got worse and worse month after month for decades.

  16. We gave Pelosi a majority in 2018 and she did ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING with it. She actively enabled the fascist takeover by normalizing the corrupt dirtbag's crime spree. We need to learn from that really dumb mistake and force them all to advocate for impeachment right now.

  17. People always think that the difference is Trump.

    but it's not.

    The difference is the way elected Democrats respond to these scandals.

    Look at the giant stink they made about Iran-Contra.

    Compare that to "Impeachment is off the table" and "He's not worth impeaching"

    It's Normalization By Pelosi

  18. These freaks live in a world where clearly seeing what is happening and what powerful people are openly planning to do is "an extreme case of derangement"

    There are no words for how fucked up that thinking is.

  23. "Democrats are really going to regret not standing up to Trump, not just because they’ll lose voters, but because they’ll lose a democratic system where having more voters is the way you gain power."
