I would be very worried tonight.
Trump is an optics guy, right? The optics today were a massive repudiation of everything Orange man stands for.
The optics today showed peaceful Americans telling their government theyve had enough MAGA bs.
Todays optics were about how we didnt vote for your fascism. It showed we still believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law, and decency.
Thank you to all who participated today and shared your photos and stories.
Sleep well tonight, patriots, and God Bless America!💕

Or I'd lose that big old paycheck.
Love your OP!!!

You know what's totally weird? I grew up watching "Big Brother" on the tube quite religiously.
Big Brother Bob Emery

No, I don't recall Nu Fizz
And his cast. No wonder I grew up warped.

Left to right in back row is Bozo (Frank Avruch), Rex Trailer, Major Mudd (Ed McDonnell); middle row is Rex's sidekick Pablo (Dick Kilbride), next to an unidentified woman and clown; front row is "Big Brother" Bob Emery and Capt. Bob Cottle.
Major Mudd. IBBY -- "I'll be blasting you"

(26,601 posts)And won't ever care. Trump will keep running the country into the ground and red state voters will keep stacking the house and Senate with people that literally hate them.
but it is important those of us with critical thinking skills let the rest of the world know just how fucking despised that orange fascist piece of SHIT is

They don't give a shit what we want or what we think. The fact that they're operating openly means they think they have sufficient control that we can't do anything about it. I'm afraid they're right, and it's not just their own impatience.
