Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Not the biggest milkshake duck of a Nobel peace prize winner (probably Aung San Suu Kyi with the Rohingya genocide) but this could be the fastest.

After the Tesla crashes, it's a bittersweet moment. With the loss of power the ad may have stopped but now the doors won't open and you can smell something burning.

No. They often aren't released soon because ICE either doesn't believe they are citizens or doesn't care.

You think ICE cares?
ICE isn't targeting immigrant Latinos. They're going after all Latinos.

Looks like Singapore already has F-15s at that base for training.
I guess Qatar will get US training there now too. Security guarantees and US training. Pretty good return for all that bribery.

Lot of people confidently missing the point in the replies to this: if every cent of Elon musks net wealth was liquid, which it isn’t, that’s not even enough money to run the govt for two weeks. The problem less that they have money, and more how they use that money in destabilizing ways.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

He might invade Venezuela and just take the peace prize from the winner while he's at it.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

The guy who keeps invading cities and bombing foreigners whenever he feels like it and keeps dangling invasion of Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela didn’t win the Nobel peace prize this year

Trump deserves no credit for this ceasefire - even in a backhanded way. He could have stopped the war this entire past year. If you have to thank someone - and there is little to be thankful for given the ruins of Gaza - please thank the global protest movement.

Yeah, 'MKULTRA existed' is fine as green.
'MKULTRA worked' should probably be in the yellow category.

Almost all talk about autism accommodations is about schools, which is important, but not many people talk about how much society outside of school will just treat you as a weirdo who should just stop being weird if you don't like it.

ICE is a rabid animal and must be put down. Its rogue agents must be unmasked, stripped of their badges, and prosecuted. Its leaders must be imprisoned.

For anyone curious about what was in the book

Michael Wolff: "A new book was published yesterday called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. It contains a passage in which Epstein is quoted where he says that he had sex with Melania a full year before Donald Trump commenced his relationship with Melania."

After hearing that a publisher removed some details about Melania Trump from a book I went looking for what they removed and now I wonder what the Epstein files say about her.

I did not know Epstein introduced Trump to Melania, and would certainly never repeat such a rumor.

Weird, if not for this post, I never would have known that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Donald to Melania. Great job Trump lawyers!

If everything Trump said was true and correct (it isn't) the four "drug" boats he's destroyed so far would have killed 100,000 Americans or virtually 100% of all overdose deaths for a year.
This man won't stop talking about his international waters murders in between claims he deserves a peace prize

grumdholt.bsky.social @grumdholt.bsky.social · 1d

If they somehow talk themselves into giving the peace prize to a man, who is ordering weekly war crimes in an effort to start a full blown war with another country and sending the military to crack down on his own citizens, they should just shut it down. The Nobel prize will mean less than nothing.

15 years to come up with an alternative to Obamacare and a Congresswoman needs a couple more years in office to finally find out what her own party's healthcare proposals are?
