It's disgusting. I'm disgusted. This election was THE last straw for me with the people I know who still support this sorry piece of orange shit. Gratefully, there are only a few, but also ones who I was very fond of long ago. Did they change or did I just not know them as well as I thought I did? IDK, but bye-bye.

I have written off two brothers. I don't expect to ever have contact with them again.

Like dominoes the investigation’s halted and court cases dried up! Justice is not a concept anymore. Privileged with no constraints and all others will pay for even the smallest infraction of the law with money, incarceration or life. Depending on the arresting officer.

Hitler. Now we have a Hitler 2.0 and who’s going to stop him? What country will come to our aid when things gets bad and the 🍑💩🤡 starts to attacking those who don’t fall in line? Because you know it’s coming to political retribution and he’s got a bunch of hateful ignorant idiots backing him with guns who have been programmed to go after liberuls (snark spelling).

and I mean that literally. When the Trump fantasy ends, you need to be on the inside to have any sway with MAGA fallout.

voting to advance the Laken Riley immigration bill? Truly awful. Authorizes indefinite detention with no possibility of bail for anyone who is in the U.S. without documentation who has ever been arrested (even if arrest was unlawful, charges were dismissed and they were never prosecuted) or who has been convicted of ANY misdemeanor or felony - includes minor shoplifting charge. Allows states to sue the U.S. to try to stop immigration entirely from particular countries. Etc!

Republicans in Congress and Supreme Court have failed their separate but equal role as protection against tyranny. A large part of the people have been brainwashed. It's been a slow trainweck that has been coming for years. Sad.
