Kudos to Senator #AngusKing and all the other senators who are pitching in to help #CoryBooker keep the focus on the harms being being perpetrated by the #MangoMussolini and #ApartheidClyde -- especially on #Veterans and #women

#SenatorCoryBooker is more than 18 hours in defending #American democracy and pointing out a few of the ways the #MangoMussolini and his owner/techbro buddy #AparteidClyde have attempted to undermine it for their own financial gain.
Alexander Hamilton would be proud!
@senatorcory
9. #CoryBooker is living rent-free inside the heads of the insecure white racist heads of the #MangoMussolini base.
In which I list some of the reason's what @senatorcory is doing right now is important and necessary (and EVERY Democratic Senator should help him in any way they can)!
1. He is now preventing the Senate from confirming a #MangoMussolini lackey to further weaken @nato
2. The world needs to know that the vast majority of #Americans are NOT OK with what Trump and his techbro #AparteidClyde are doing -- but even more importantly Putin & China need to know it.
Go #SenatorCoryBooker Go!!!!! 14 hours spent pointing out the lies, graft and corruption of the #MangoMussolini and his creepy techbro #ApartheidClyde

It's almost like the #MangoMussolini hates #America. His bullying of military leaders, judges, law firms, universities and the media; his disdain for Congress; his attempts to chill speech through deportation and litigation; his tolerance for incompetent cabinet secretaries who endanger American troops. #uspol #uspolitics

What I'd like to know is, why isn't Greenland simply refusing to host them? Don't issue visas, tell them they're not welcome, refuse landing permission if they're stupid enough to come anyway.
Having Cletus Vance's wife and other American officials visiting for *any* reason is insane when Mango Mussolini is threatening to take Greenland by force.

Correction: they don’t “largely support his efforts to slash federal government.”
They’re just too chickenshit to stand up to #MangoMussolini
AND SO IT BEGINS.
Politico reporting on private "soldier of fortune" companies like #BlackWater are selling #OrangeHitler on the idea of using "private citizens" (aka: "vigilantes") to arrest (suspected) "illegal aliens" and send them to any of a dozen #ConcentrationCamps on military bases throughout the country.
And you KNOW #MangoMussolini just LOVES this idea (already complaining how long those 12M deportations are taking.) #Fascist #Fascism #Racists #Racism #ProudBoys #DisasterPresidency
In a response to another post, I noted that Trump had just spent all of the goodwill that Canadians held for the USA for generations -- and then some. I said the damage to our relationship would take a long, long time to repair - possibly multiple generations.
Here's a heartfelt editorial from the Vancouver Sun that says it better than I did.

Is it me? Or the #mangomussolini is getting Old real fast?
Re: tariffs, trade wars, and insane rapist degenerates who think they're kings...
The rest of the world probably knows this, but for our #USAnian friends, the single most offensive thing about President Felon's actions in violating our trade agreements with the USA -- trade agreements which *he* signed -- is this little addition:
> An official told the newspaper that these tariffs contained a retaliation
> clause that would ratchet up American tariffs if Mexico, Canada or China
> tried to place their own tariffs on US goods in response.
"We're going to violate our signed trade agreement, which has the force of law in both our countries, and you're just going to sit there and take it. You can't retaliate in kind or we'll get mad."
*That* is the American "exceptionalism" that the rest of the world hates. The sheer hubris that leads anyone to expect that edict to just be obeyed because We're American is the reason for the world's contempt.
Individual Americans can be, and frequently are, lovely people. But something happens in the aggregate that makes you absolutely insufferable at times. This is one of those times.
@GottaLaff
I’d say start with threatening every purple state republican with a primary if they blindly follow the #MangoMussolini’s fascist dictates.
You know, like the republicans do.
With #mangoMussolini taking the helm of #usPol today I've opted not to rant into the void but to raise the voices of others. To that end I chose today to start or renew memberships of organisations that do that well:
USA:
* @pmpress
* AK Press https://akpress.org
Australia:
* @3CRMelbourne ("Yeah, Nah, Pasaran!")
* 3ZZZ (#esperanto language radio)
* @jurabooks
* New International Bookshop (NIBS)
It's not much but it helps. More suggestions welcome.
Some of #Trump's idiot #MAGA people are just realising what any student of #fascism already knows -- that hierarchy, power, and force are the whole point. #MangoMussolini has now said he'd use the military to conquer #Panama and #Greenland, and economic pressure to annex #Canada.
you know, in the strategy game Democracy, if you try to eliminate policies and departments too quickly, you skyrocket your chances of getting, uh, borked out of existence by political dissidents
not that real life is like video games, but it does seem to be a game for a certain Kumquat in Chief
For those who think we’re just whining… #disability #mangomussolini #gop #hatred
