Trump picked Vance who will facilitate Trump's 3rd term. Wonder if Vance will tire of being second fiddle and overthrow Trump at some point.

Vance is a chameleon who has ingratiated himself with powerful anti-democratic individuals.

Amber Rose is a featured speaker at the RNC tonight. 🤦 She followed Charlie Kirk. Stupefying.

Trump just gave Biden/Harris life support by choosing Vance as his running mate. Trump may become the first person to lose a presidential election because of his VP choice. Vance is so alienating for the very swing voters Trump needs to persuade. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Loose Cannon dismissed decades of institutional precedent, years of recent rulings on Mueller and Smith, and pretty much the entire premise of the special counsel regulations. The judiciary is compromised due to one narcissist.

Gift article. From the idealism of the Republican Party's antislavery founding to Trump's personality cult of MAGA Fascist Party loyalists. What a difference 170 years makes due to one man's narcissism fueling hate and conspiracy. wapo.st/46c7sio
The road from the GOP’s antislavery founding to Trump’s MAGA conventionwapo.st The delegates gathering in Milwaukee this week are awfully different than the band of abolitionists who founded the Republican Party in this Wisconsin town 170 years ago.

As wrong as they are about everything else, the conspiracy theorists seem to be right about one thing. A great many of America’s problems share a hidden factor: It is racism and bigotry, whether acknowledged or unacknowledged. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/how-ame...

If we genuinely want to end the culture of political violence in America, we must begin by acknowledging that the target of Saturday’s attack in Pennsylvania is also one of the most dangerous advocates for such violence this country has ever seen. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Very foolish. Secret Service trying to shield Trump with their hands and bodies yet he showboats for the crowd with raised fist bravado. Just stupid. Assassination entertainment.

Video from Dasia Sade, a very knowledgeable young woman re #Project2025 and I hope you will watch. She taught me HF has been drafting mandates for GOP since Regan's "trickle down" fiasco. Also to read the manifesto myself, and how to react. 27 min so grab a coffee or beverage youtu.be/A7OlQG9C4zM
What is Project 2025? | what you should probably know about ityoutu.be Hi, just trying to be more aware of the world around me. Have you heard of Project 2025? I know a lot of people are really struggling with to vote or not to vote? If you choose not to vote or are anti-voting, I respect your choice. This video is not for you. I am not trying to convince any one of anything. For me personally, Voting is not an end all be all, it's just one of the many tools of civic engagement and I plan to use any and all tools available to me when it comes to using my voice to advocate for change in my country. Social media, voting, learning, educating, organizing. I hope you'll come along for the ride.

I read the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 👀 and the 50 year history of HF mandates starting with Regan. We must never allow any American Fascist Party (nee GOP) to be elected again EVER. Americans will not and should not tolerate such draconian autocratic Christofascist based minority rule.
