I thought Trump said that because of him, the US is respected all over the world again. Not quite, Donald. I can't remember any time in history, that so many people from other countries all over the world, marched in solidarity with Americans to the No Kings movement.

They were NOT lied to or tricked. They wanted this, they just thought Trump cares about them but he's been very clear that he doesn't.

'Southern culture; 'Southern politics.' That would be hate riven racism, antisemitism, anti-LGBTQ and deep misogyny? Women who support a pedophile, sex offender and lifelong predator? I'm impressed. Or is there something else missing?

Everybody knows. Everybody knew before 2016 when the media, the @nytimes.com prioritized Hillary Clinton's fucking emails with front page layouts. Then James Comey sent his illegal letter a week before the election.Trump is losing his mind. But I have little sympathy for Comey &, especially, Bolton

That's all wonderful. It's taken years

Is Andrew being removed from the Royal household, housing and bank accounts?

Will he need to find elsewhere to live?

Will Andrew need to find a real job to make a living or is he still being funded by UK taxpayers?

If so, this doesn't mean a damn thing.

What in the hell is RFK Jr, who gets more creepy by the day, talking about? Did he get this shit from his parasitic worm eaten brain? Which 'average' teenager's sperm count did he check? And girls are 'hitting puberty 6 years early' based on what data and for what supposed reason? #EpsteinList

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

Absolutely repulsive. Apparently these 'enforcers' are unaware that 'I was following orders' failed at Nuremberg and the Nazis who used it didn't fair very well. It also won't help these fucking racist cowards when accountability arrives #NoKingsDay

'What’s happening in OH isn’t “religious freedom" but destroying public educ with religious excuses'

Public schools have long been under attack by the Christian Right. Vouchers aren't 'school choice' but for the redistribution of public school money and resources

Ohio Republicans used a life-saving Narcan bill to promote more religious indoctrination

A sneaky amendment to a Narcan bill shows just how far lawmakers will go to privilege faith over actual education
