I'm losing a talented co-worker because of Trump.

My co-worker is a brilliant and caring Chinese man. He speaks and writes English better than a lot of native-born Americans.

He's here legally, but out of an abundance of caution he's leaving America next week.

It's very sad. He's irreplaceable. Trump is destroying America.

Nope. No Amazon ever again

@br00t4c

Sure. But now Israel is making noises like it is going to annex the West Bank.

@br00t4c

Where is the resistance? We're resting. Give us time...

"Trump has reportedly not turned in a required ethics pledge that explains how he’ll navigate personal conflicts of interest."

"The Post reports that the president-elect has also declined to use the State Department’s secure telephone lines and interpreters, and has eschewed the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s security clearance system."

America is full of stupid, racist, misogynist people. And now we are beholden to Russia.

“We have won,” said Alexander Dugin, the Russian ideologue who has long pushed an imperialist agenda for Moscow and supported disinformation efforts against Kamala Harris’s campaign."

"to the point of sitting out the election out of disgust?"

No.

"to the point of electing Trump by sitting out the election out of disgust."

There. Fixed it.

And not just Black men. Stupid people.

Stupid people who will now see Trump give the green light to Netanyahu to bulldoze Gaza and "settle" the rest of the West Bank.

Let’s review: First, Harris was criticized for not doing enough interviews — so she did multiple interviews, including with nontraditional media. She was criticized for not doing hostile interviews — so she went toe to toe with Bret Baier of Fox News. She was criticized as being comfortable only at scripted rallies — so she did unscripted events, such as the town hall on Wednesday. Along the way, she wiped the floor with Trump during their one televised debate."

"The handful of multinational companies that dominate our food system are hardly being forced to employ immigrant workers," Eric Schlosser argues. "These firms have for many years embraced the opportunity to exploit them for profit."

You think grocery prices are high now? Just wait till all the workers are deported...

Trump wants to "deport 15 to 20 million undocumented immigrants from the United States..."

"Trump’s anti-American trash talk was refuted by a raft of new evidence. The World Bank issued a report saying 'the U.S. economy, in particular, has shown impressive resilience. ... U.S. dynamism, in fact, is one reason the global economy enjoys some upside potential over the next two years.'”

@br00t4c

There were just four years in which Dems controlled both houses of Congress plus the presidency since 1981. And not four consecutive years. Even those four years can't be said to be Democratically controlled when you consider the filibuster. Dems cannot be accused of "complacency" when they had no chance of passing anything.

Can you give me one reference of "wilfilly blind attitudes and relentless belittling of concerns?"

@br00t4c

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

@AnthonyJK @meowomon

If you don't vote for either one, you are voting for Trump.

If you vote third party, you are voting for Trump.

If you stay home, you are voting for Trump.

And Trump will be much worse for Gaza, urging Netanyahu to finish the job.

I only hope that after the election passes you are happy with your choice.

Happy #Caturday !

When I take my orange cat, Marley, to the vet in a cat carrier, he screams and hollers all the way there. He gets so very upset.

Our other cat, Shadow, is Marley's good buddy. Shadow barely makes a noise when I take him to the vet.

So I thought I'd try taking Shadow along the next time I took Marley to the vet. And, by golly, I didn't hear a peep from either of them.

So now Shadow is Marley's emotional support cat whenever he has to go to the vet.

Do not blame mass killings on mental illness.

1. Mentally ill people are far more often the victims of violence than the perpetrators.

2. There are mentally ill people in every country on earth, yet other developed countries don't have mass shootings like we do.

It's the guns, stupid.
