Joanne💋💙🌈 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸7*Communism* has replaced the "large immigrant caravans" They run this bs rhetoric cuz they accomplished ZERO for American citizens.
oscar1886.bsky.social7Trump is a fearmonger! And the worst part is they believe everything he says.

Zombie Hunter4Another thing to grab on for his cult. Did dineone teach him how to be a cult leader or is it just him?
ACO3Trump is literally reciting satire from Fallout games. We're lucky that China hasn't nuked us yet (though the Tankies, from DSA to Piker would celebrate it).

@GottaLaff11The Red Scare is back, courtesy of those wearing red hats.
Trump spent this July 4 morning pardoning a major donor and violators of the Clean Air Act so he can own the libs: wapo.st/4wuTHHA
jeffreyhf.bsky.social9The presidency is now a cash cow.
ProudDetroiter8How much $$$ did he pocket of these pardons?
jimmarkb.bsky.social7That SOB needs to go, ASAP.
I hate this mfer with all my heart! 😑
2014sdg.bsky.social6Not one single pardon as they are supposed to be. Everything he touches is corrupt.
steelermilltown.bsky.social4I like your substack. Thanks.
Ten years ago today, JD Vance published an essay calling Donald Trump “cultural heroin” and “an opioid of the masses.” Now, he’s the #1 pusher of Trump’s poison. This July 4, let’s remember the words of a man who sold his soul to sell out our nation. 🎁 link www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Gil Durán104Never forget who JD Vance really is: the ruthlessly ambitious creation of a one man—Peter Thiel. He believes in nothing besides power, and will do anything to get it. Today, he's one Big Mac-clogged heartbeat away from the presidency. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRWF...
Sir Robert Peel1I would love for the article to be read out loud in front of the White House by an AI JD Vance voice over and over and over again.
Historian dismisses Trump Independence Day rhetoric as 'Red Scare idiocy' www.rawstory.com/doug-brinkle...
jadedragon2.bsky.social5It is red scare idiocy.
McSpocky™5tRump delivered pure McCarthy-era Red Scare garbage at Mount Rushmore on July 4th weekend, ranting about communists. Historian Doug Brinkley called it "utter nonsense" and "deeply offensive." It’s not surprising that tRump's idea of celebrating America is scare tactics and division…
Debbie Hemenway3Those of us with brains, educations and a knowledge of history already know this. We're not the ones he's talking to.
Michael B Lehrhoff3Nauseating hypocrite who worships at the foot of an ex-KGB agent issues grave warning of the “dangers of communism”.🙄🙄🙄
Johnnyjeep633I guess Trump’s speech writer Stephen Miller is running out of scary things to say, so he reached back into the 1950’s with the communist nonsense. I don’t want to get into the mindset of Trump and the Republican’s acting scared…but it sure looks that way.

This July 4, I’m seriously conflicted. On the one hand, happy Independence Day, America. On the other hand, f*ck you, Donald Trump. Forgive me if I don’t celebrate the United States today. Seems like a black armband and a funeral dirge are more appropriate.
Ⓐntifa Frontenac 🇨🇦1You can't fight fascism with the tools of fascism. There is no ethical use for AI
Pragmatical 🇨🇦1I’m not at all conflicted. There is nothing at all to celebrate. At best, it’s a wake.
maxace1.bsky.social1Hey Markham, I echo your feelings, but celebrate the people on an historic birthday. They have survived 250 years. And a great many of them are good. A great many sacrificed it all for freedom for all, a few times in history. Like us Albertans, they can make bad political choices. Happy Birthday.
Matt Zivich1History shows us that we can overcome anything that crosses our paths. The Founding Fathers told King George III not to step on our land and claim it. Today and each day going forward, it’s time for us to reclaim what should be ours. Time to make our own history, so America 300 could be great, maybe
chriswmartin1986.bsky.social1I never thought on our nation's 250th anniversary that I could hear the founding fathers spinning in their Graves but alas even I can hear them from here.
Celia Swoboda1Same here..no celebration. First time in 77 years.

maverick72.bsky.social2A picture worth a thousand words…
BrandyPondSWO1Trying to figure out which image pisses me off more - the one of these dickheads marching freely through D.C. or this person sitting quietly surrounded by the same absolute cowards. Both images will be in history books.
Stuart Drunsfield1I presume the masks are to protect against Covid.
velourazure1What is your belief system worth when you can't show your face to defend it?
