#retire trump

[tomorrowusa]

John Oliver's closing message before Election Day. It's the last couple of minutes of the segment from Sunday.

He reminds us that if Trump loses, that's it for Trump. Consider that for a moment. With a Kamala Harris victory, we can echo the words of President Gerald Ford and proclaim: "Our long national nightmare is over."

So if anybody needs an incentive to get one more voter to choose Kamala before polls close on Tuesday, conjure a realistic vision of Trump's involuntary retirement and your necessary role in making it happen.

NOTE: You can watch the entire 14:27 John Oliver clip here.

Boy, that debate last night sure was something, huh?

I can't imagine being anywhere near as insane as Trump supporters because my dad told me that he, earlier, drove past a guy putting a "Harris Walz 2024" sign outside his house and decided to yell out at him "TRUMP 2024 YOU COCKSUCKER" and flip him off. And he laughed when he told me because he thinks that yelling at a man (emphasized man because he thinks men should be "better" than women, and "better" would be voting for Trump in this case) who is voting for a "whore who slept her way to the top" (his exact words) is funny. And expected me to laugh with him. And got angry when I didn't and just stared at him in disbelief. Even though he already knows that I don't like Donald Trump. These people fully expect others to find their weird ass derogatory words and behavior FUNNY. Donald Trump is leading a cult of old people who he brainwashed into being delusional with him.

FACT - Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid add nothing to the national debt because these programs pay for themselves!

Every day of your working life, you PAY into YOUR government pension! look at your paystub, you'll see your contributions!

You receive your payment until the day you die, unlike 401ks which are done when they run out.

A pension is not a retirement fund on which you make 'interest' as an investment - when Republicans state this they mean THEY should make money on your pension, their companies will take your pension and churn it constantly to create fees.

And if your pension is going to rise or fall on the stock market, be aware, a recession in the US happens about every decade.

When Republicans say they need to cut social programs, they could start with the BILLIONS in subsidies they give to millionaires and mega corporations.

I want more youth in politics. Too much boomer. Too much money.

Stop looking at the tree and see the forest.

Stop worrying about the one dead branch when it's all on fire.

my last time speaking on this bc I’m back to my smut and stupid shit afterwards (cause yk this is my safe space 🤪😜🫶🏾👍🏾) , but I’m genuinely scared, not just for this presidency but my local leadership too. Hence why I always make such an emphasis on it. I live in a small town and it’s very much class/racially divided. The sheriff (a white woman btw but a woman nonetheless) has been actively trying to harass and run everyone from my side of town. She pretty much wrote off this area as a bunch of drug addicts and says ‘she hopes we all just kill each other’. (My family has never done, sold or even been around drugs and yet her dumbass cops are convinced bc we’re black with nice vehicles, that we must sell). She’s also pushing for the gentrification of our area so all of her rich cohorts can come and tear down our houses and build a suburbia. Just the other day, a cop made me move my vehicle from in front of a store I park at all the time bc im disabled and even the closest parking spot is far on this leg and he did it just to be an asshole. I can’t even cry abt this presidency yet bc I’m now worried that my local leaders are going to make our lives hell. Not to mention, they voted no on abortions and gender affirming care as well. I hate it here so fucking bad.

The supreme court just said a president can do anything without any consequences all because they want to grant trump immunity. This is why is super important that we vote for biden. I know we aren't happy with him or his administration, but please its important that trump does not become president. I haven't said anything about this, but after the supreme courts decision today to further ruin our democracy, I have to say it: VOTE BLUE. We need to save this country cause damn.

VOTE FOR BIDEN

« We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don't take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we're willing to die to protect it. »

— Gen. Mark A. Milley speaking as he stepped down as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and transferred responsibility to Air Force Gen. C.Q. Brown, Jr.. Via the Department of Defense.

In his farewell speech, Gen. Milley took an apparent dig at Donald Trump (a wannabe dictator) who regarded the military as his personal plaything.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Gen. Milley for remaining loyal to his oath during the dangerous Trump administration.

He has stepped down from his position on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But his certificate of retirement (visible in the vid) indicates that he doesn't officially leave the US Army until the end of October. So after that he will be able to speak more candidly about Trump's attempts to undermine democracy. If he writes a book, it will probably be on the bestseller list in 2024.

Since I can’t call out of work or class today, I’m just gonna isolate on tumblr for today’s US Election Day and hoping I figure out the votes through the Destiel memes once again in order to limit the feeling of a truck hitting me in the fucking face. Fuck the 2 party system. If Trump does the shit he’s saying he will, I’m killing myself on Capitol Building lawn

Why You Need to Be Worried About Project 2025

Omfg UK and US 18-25s I'm begging you to vote in the general/presidential election 😭😭😭 young people already don't vote and then to actively abstain (I get it, all your options suck) but then politicians will have zero reason to appeal to you ever! You're entirely excluding yourselves from the conversation! Vote strategically to vote OUT the worst dude but just vote fr

I know they're all doing genocide and it's fucked but like you literally are not preventing genocide by not voting you're just sitting on your hands
