As I wake up to news of Trump bombing Iran by the side of Netanyahu, fuck you to every single person who voted for Trump or couldn’t bother to vote for Kamala Harris, the other only option who could win and who wouldn’t be doing any of this and you know it.

I'm old enough to remember Benghazi, when Republicans pretended to care about dead Americans.

3 American soldiers killed, and Trump says more 'likely,' in war against Iran-

I legitimately not only remember people deadass telling us “you’re overreacting” about the danger of Trump being elected again, but I can read the old posts.

Yeah. we were not.

I heard "both sides are the same" as an excuse and that it was stupid to "trust any politician" as another.

It all lead to the same outcome of Trump being elected.

Don’t let your country be overrun by social media bots and morons.

Rick Scott changed his vote because Trump told him to (either explicitly or with the veto).

But "it's not fair" that the Miccosukee Tribe isn't paying for land in the Everglades that the bill would have granted them? Someone with some patience explain that to Republicans, please.

Dozens Of House Republicans Break With Trump, But Fail to Override Two Vetoes

While both vetoes on the bills were sustained, President Donald Trump’s refusal to sign two bills that initially passed unanimously sparked accusations of political retribution.

Yet another dumbass tried again to tell me yet again today that there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans but, as I said, that account was a dumbass.
The CDC just sidelined these childhood vaccines. Here's what they prevent:

All the Planned Parenthood clinics in my area and closing at least temporarily because Donald Trump defunded them.

So if you continue to go on about how both parties are the same, I will continue to tell you you’re a non-useful idiot.

Pittsburgh-area Planned Parenthood clinics are closing this month due to staffing shortage:

Planned Parenthood has confirmed that its Downtown Pittsburgh location will close Jan. 23 and its Greensburg location will close Saturday. The Bridgeville clinic closed its doors in December. It’s unclear how long the clinics will remain closed.

The strategy of giving Trump and Republicans total control of the government and hoping Democrats would clean up the mess later was a poor strategy, for whoever decided to encourage that.

During the first Trump administration people were afraid to go outside because of COVID.

Now they're afraid to go outside because of the Trump administration.

Some differences between the parties for ya.

Not surprised because corporations along with billionaires bought the election and now the EPA works for them, not us.

Please bother to vote properly this year unless air pollution is a pro for you.

The EPA is changing how it considers the costs and benefits of air pollution rules:

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris invested money into America that created hundreds of thousands of jobs through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Trump hasn’t done shit for anyone except himself.
