Donald #Trump announces Kash Patel as the next FBI Director. What a disgrace. The clown car is getting full

@GottaLaff Lordy.
@WarnerCrocker We’re screwed
@GottaLaff No doubt. And I'm losing patience with the "look to the Senate" crowd. Trump's playing for keeps and the old rules no longer apply.
@WarnerCrocker Correct. And many in the Senate voted against convicting him during the impeachment, voted for him this year.
@GottaLaff He's got all the dirt he needs to either keep them compliant, force retirements, or failing that worse. We're watching an arsonist stack gas cans in our living room and pretending he's not seriously going to get away with it.
@WarnerCrocker I don’t buy into how he has dirt on people. It’s much simpler: He intimidates them by threatening to use his thugs to get them out of power, primary them, ruin their lives.
@GottaLaff I think it's both. One leads to the other in either direction.
@GottaLaff
I hope we all survive the next 4 years.
@Callalily The entire world.
@GottaLaff
Exactly we are all affected by his election.
@GottaLaff I hate this timeline so much.
@mmynatt It’s utterly horrifying

@GottaLaff

Absolutely fucking insane

@darwinwoodka This is what we have now: Insanity.

@GottaLaff

Paging Nurse Ratched...Paging Nurse Ratched...STAT!

@GottaLaff He's heard the whispers about triggering the 25th Amendment to leave Vance in charge. The only qualification to serve in this cabinet is complete loyalty.
@GottaLaff But they're approved by Central Casting?
@IveyJanette His casting office is… different … than ours.
@GottaLaff it might be like Dorothy trying to get to Kansas but as @emptywheel.bsky.social says 🤞🏼we only need 4, we only need 4 🤞🏼
@Danetteb I know. But I’m still not optimistic. @emptywheel.bsky.social
@GottaLaff I don’t know that optimism could ever be used in this context- desperate wish and since it did happen once I am clinging to the cliffs’s edge of “maybe???” @emptywheel.bsky.social
@GottaLaff That’s the thing about clown cars: They never run out of clowns.

At some point we have to talk about the obvious: Trump is not forming an administration, but a terrorist regime based on nepotism, criminality and espionage to destroy the United States.

@Joe_Hill I think that’s obvious, yes

@GottaLaff

The insinuation that there's a limited capacity for the clown car is wrong.

@GottaLaff there's still room in the murder van though.

Attached: 1 image Justin Sun AKA "The Crookedest Man in the Cryptoverse” (no mean feat), a Chinese organized crime connected crypto bro who has been indicted by the SEC for fraud, is now the largest investor in Donald #Trump’s #cryptocurrency project #WorldLibertyFi. WorldLibertyFi is pretty transparently just a bribery scheme: if you want influence with the Trump administration you can buy #WLFI tokens and put money in his pocket. Unsurprisingly #Chinese organized crime wants a piece of that action. Justin Sun is also the founder of the Tron blockchain which is where more than half of the $132 billion worth of #Tether tokens in existence live and where most of the super dodgy Tether action happens. Everything from slave trading to Iranian and Russian sanctions evasion to cartel money laundering goes on on Justin Sun’s blockchain. #JustinSun #USDT #crypto #cryptocurrency #triads #Russia #Putin #VladimirPutin #sanctions #China #TRON #TRX

Trump's revenge: breaking the 'Deep State'.

"The deep historical forces that explain Trump’s win"

we’ve found three common factors:

Popular Immiseration

Elite Overproduction

State Breakdown.

The deep historical forces that explain Trump’s win

Our research shows that political breakdown, from the Roman Empire to the Russian revolution, follows a clear pattern: workers’ wages stagnate, while elites multiply

@GottaLaff This is just a total s* show and designed to take the country down. What a disgrace. Congrats America on really screwing this up not once, but twice.
@GottaLaff I think we can stop a few of these in the Senate, but the sheer magnitude of the load of crap being dumped means we can't stop it all. We need to focus and "Bork" a few of these. I think firing the FBI director is one that we should make a huge deal over. But then again, it'll be his second such firing aye?

@politipet Thanks! I follow @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social everywhere, but if I see a notification, that's when I post it. I'm often on the run, get a phone alert, and use that. I'm not able to check all my social media accounts for the most part
