If #Democrats treated the #SecondAmendment the way #Republicans WILLINGLY accept limits on the FIRST, they'd be storming the Capitol (once again.)

I roll my eyes 🙄 when Gun Nuts try to claim (incorrectly) that "the 2nd Amendment is the one that protects all the rest" (no, that's actually the 1st) when they SO willingly accept abridging "all the rest" (or even ABOLISHING the ones they don't like, such as the 14th & the 22nd.)

👉Emergency:
House Republicans are bankrupting #America👈at the expense of the elderly, the poor, and the weaker members of our society. This is outrageous and utterly unprecedented!

If you are a #US citizen YOU will be complicit!

Call your Senators NOW or it will be too late!

#Republicans now need only 50 votes for the bill to become law, as tRump wants!

Noting how much Jeff Bezos loves Trump's big, beautiful bill, Sarah Anderson and Lauren Jacobs say,

"Perhaps it should come as no surprise that a corporation opposed to workplace democracy has now thrown its economic clout behind a political regime that threatens our national democracy as well."

#Trump already has the weight of the #ExecutiveBranch behind his efforts to strip funding from top #universities, #deport millions of unauthorized #immigrants & pressure #ForeignGovernments to change their economic policies.

With the sprawling bill that passed through the #House on Thurs, #Republicans are also preparing to enlist the #TaxCode as another tool against Trump’s political foes.

A bill passed by the House on Thursday would raise taxes at universities like Harvard, where the Trump administration has already choked off federal funding because the school has not agreed to its demands for overhauling campus practices.

THE most corrupt #Potus in history bar none. 😵

He OPENLY accepts #bribes, and now hosts an "event" at his private golf resort for Billionaires & Foreign Interests to #launder cash directly into his pocket by buying his phony #MemeCoin (it's not even "#Crypto". It's just a bank account belonging to #DonCapone that you buy shares of.) #IOKIYAR

REMEMBER, #Republicans tried to turn a *$40K* REPAYMENT by #Biden's daughter-in-law into a "scandal" deserving #impeachment.

MSNBC · Part-time president: Trump takes corruption break to indulge meme coin schmoozersBy MSNBC

Trump has been a business tycoon wannabe, billionaire wannabe, mobster wannabe, tough guy wannabe, presidential wannabe … now he’s a dictator wannabe.

Trump has been a punchline and a wannabe all of his life and no amount of bullying or lying about him being successful will bring Trump the respect and legitimacy that he desperately craves.

The fuck?

I've seen a couple of these. Not even an internship. Just a volunteer. If you are so desperate for work that you will donate your time, labor, and expertise to a profit-driven corporation with no expectation of any remuneration or even a "this was a great intern" statement at the end...

I hate it here, sometimes.

“A sell-off in global bonds is accelerating as Moody’s downgrade of US credit rating and Trump’s tax bill has brought to the fore investors’ fiscal concerns globally. While Trump was unable to sway GOP dissenters to support his broad tax bill that could drive US debt higher by a projected $3-5 trillion, it appears to have triggered a global bond rout.”
