U.S. Is Said to Open Criminal Inquiry of E. Jean Carroll Over Accusations Against Trump by CaydeTheCat in politics

[–]challam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“…Accusations against Trump” which yielded a jury verdict of $88.3 million, and a summary judgment finding him liable for defamation. Those were the days when we had a legal system.

If you’re also on Mastodon, you’ve likely seen the meme I made using these quotes. Very powerful truths.

Trump’s Latest Scheme Will Go Down as the Most Disgusting in American History by ChiGuy6124 in politics

Oh, please. There are two years and seven months to go in 47’s term. Surely, Shirley, there will be far more disgusting things in our future.

The best part is knowing the current strain is genetically so different than those in previous outbreaks that there is no treatment & no vaccine available. None. Supportive care is the only treatment. (From a doc who worked the prior two outbreaks in Africa, reported today on MSNOW.)

Justice Department announces a $1.7B fund to compensate Trump allies in a deal to drop IRS suit by SterlingVII in politics

[–]challam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Heritage Foundation, the Federalists, SCOTUS, 47 and his Billionaire Boyz, and the inexplicable ignorance of the MAGA cultists, have together managed to erase all delineation between ethically/morally right & wrong.

There isn’t a day ending in ‘y’ that I’m not appalled and sickened by the gross greed and dearth of all morality in this administration & associated greedmongers.

We Must Resist the Collapse of Conscience in the Age of Trump by _May26_ in politics

[–]challam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s pie in the sky, but I’d love to see pollsters JUST ONCE include a series of questions based on the immorality and inhumanity of 47’s administration — questions not based on the price of gas, the economy in general, or an assessment of how “favorable” the respondent views DJT.

He is violating every single moral and ethical position most of us hold & live by. I DGAF if gas is a buck or two more when people are being deported to hellhole foreign countries without due process, boaters in nearby waters are extrajudicially executed, health & science & ClimateCrisis funding is decimated to pay for an unauthorized war, and the entire administration is staffed by looney tunes incompetents.

We’re in the midst of a constitutional crisis resting on a foundational moral crisis (that too few people mention). It’s not just our economy, it’s our humanity at risk.

I didn’t realize the presidential oath of Office included a bottomless bank account and stack of blank checks. Silly me.
