Fox is not a news station, it’s an entertainment station! Shawn Hannity said Fox can tell lies because it’s an entertainment station! It’s morphed into the propaganda channel for D
Trump/Putin! Lots of Russian tradecraft going on here, they’ve been involved in the GOP for decades!

Ever feel like Fox is just echoing Trump’s power grab? This guide shows how to treat that cult vibe, flip the script, and expose the betrayal. Ready to break free?

how can he promise money when Congress won’t come in to session bc then there will be enough votes to force the release of the Epstein Files?This is grifting & this is called extortion! This is what he did w/ Zelenskyy/Ukraine.

Everything in our country costs more, and he’s giving 20 billion to bail out Argentina, ONLY if his very conservative friend wins the election! Trump said if he doesn’t win then Argentina doesn’t get the money! Since Congress controls the purse,

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

The public is not stupid! We have a convicted felon and sexual abuser running our country i.e. a criminal of sorts! We have First Amendment right to gather & disagree/our leadership! He’s waging war against America & Americans! Some dare call this TREASON!

Trump threatens US with rarely used 1807 law which could cause chaos in American cities

President Trump is not ruling out invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy military to the streets of US cities if they don't oblige.

2) JJ seems fascinated with the Old Testament “…an eye for an eye & a tooth for a tooth…”! It’s the cruelty! I’m sure if Jesus came back he wouldn’t go near his church bc of the aggressive, unloving philosophies he espouses! It’s the cruelty! Which, btw, IS the work of the guy in the basement!

jmapl.bsky.social @jmapl.bsky.social · 4h

1) Further proof, of his ignorance! Maybe JJ can show us in the “New Testament“ where Jesus says you have to be cruel! I do believe that Jesus says “ There are two great commandments one is love the Lord thy God; second is to love, thy neighbor as thy self!

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

4) We can truly say evil lives in the hearts of those whose selfish lust for power creates the demented ideologies & practices of past & present GOP voting suppression!

1) A normal citizenry would read abt Paul Weyrich & decide that the current voting suppression is as tainted as its roots! Paul Weyrich, American political activist (1942–2008), said “…when fewer numbers of people vote over all, the GOP does better!…”

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7h

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 13h

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

He’s morally compromised; from dependence on he & his son’s pornography to his decision to sell his soul by supporting Trump’s lies & telling his own whoppers, like this! Supporting the destruction of our Constitution, Country, People, Democracy & his own Constituency is absolutely unconscionable!🥵
