Trump blames Biden 'overhang' after GDP shrinks in first quarter, says growth will 'take a while' in c/politics@lemmy.world

I appreciate the “s” on “elections”, but “couple” feels extremely optimistic to me.

Congress Passes TAKE IT DOWN Act Despite Major Flaws in c/news@lemmy.world

The article mentioned requiring a reporting mechanism which must be resolved within 48 hours. Because of the impracticality of the timeframe it went on to assume that anything reported would just be removed.

While this is bullshit, we should be able to weaponize it right back at them - any lies the administration spews (which let’s face it, that’s everything) needs to be reported relentlessly.

Make them feel it!

Most Americans see Trump as "dangerous dictator," poll says in c/politics@lemmy.world

If that’s true, sounds like NOW is the time to ACT since we aren’t picking up anyone else. Right?

Yeah the protests is why I said “hardly anything” as opposed to nothing, because while they ARE happening I’m a bit more results driven and have yet to see any.

We could help with those “I did this” stickers - do a little homework ahead of time and calculate certain items X% lower. At this point it just needs to be reasonable; that side has no quarter to call US out for bending the truth.

So roughly 70% of sane Americans recognize we’re living under a dictator and yet we do hardly anything in revolt. Do they not realize that by the time the gas chambers are on our soil it’ll be too late?

It can’t go back to business as usual once we force him out. The Republican Party needs to be DISMANTLED and any former supporters barred for life from any sort of participation in U.S. elections. Voting, running for office, working polls - give them NO QUARTER.

Americans Believe Russian Disinformation ‘To Alarming Degree’

Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats and 29.5% of people who didn't identify with one particular party.

The longer this drags on the less attention the public will pay, which is the administration’s ultimate goal. Make this happen, maybe another “foreigner”, and then a citizen.

At this point I’m concealed carrying everywhere (legally) so that when it finally does get to folks like me it’ll be comfortable, normal, and AVAILABLE. Because protection sitting at home does you no good.

The military is not a monolith. They are Americans, and other Americans are their family. If ordered to act against American citizens, how many will refuse? How many will obey?

Despite a court order, White House bars AP from Oval Office event (apnews.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28226280

Despite a court order, a reporter and photographer from The Associated Press were barred from an Oval Office news conference on Monday with President Donald Trump and his counterpart from El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.

Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.
