Yawn. Zingers don't do anything, little buddy. Try again.

For the luncheon liberals who think we only have two choices : ugly fascism or respectable fascism. Not sure how you get dressed in the morning if you can only do binary.

I'm not a communist, you're just functionally illiterate. Both of you. It's not hard to pull up Obama's drone and bomb record which outpaced GW in short order. Oh, and he left us Gitmo. Surprise.

Stupidity isn't a boon, kids.

I will riot. Let's go.

I believe she also refers to him as a visionary and asks Bibi for assistance sooo yeah. These morons keep voting this way, that's why we're here.

Chess needs to be a required class in school.

It absolutely is. Obama can be bad at the same time as Trump, unless you're one of those functionally illiterate dipsticks. But what do I know as a formal debate champion. 🤔

This is the epitome of stupidity.

Your logical fallacy is strawman

You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack.

Thankfully, we have better resources this decade. If you give up already, you're handing it over. Recommend Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Why do we?

Liz Botkin @lizbotkin.bsky.social · 11h

We have 800 bases around the world.

This isn't the first or even second time they've awarded the Peace Prize to a bad person, so color me shocked. At least they didn't give it to Führer Drumpf.

There are some good statistical blips in the data from swing states that indicate tampering. Regardless, even if no tampering occurred, they're 30% of the electorate.

We're victims of gerrymandering that no one cared about until it did its real job.

Oh Rand. I'm shocked this bastion of liberty is complicit with a violent Nazi coup.

Truly, the apple doesn't fall far.

My spooky Halloween Playlist continues to grow, but with 80s flair, thanks to one of my siblings. 😁 🎃

Nah. End the War on Drugs that was started just to load prisons up with poors, esp black Americans, to provide slave labor -- and then release all the non-violent inmates with retroactive record wipes. Suddenly, plenty of room for Nazis.

White supremacy was here the whole time.

I like how their city lawyer is trying to call cops with a firm procedure for diagnostic evaluation they ignored, "lay persons."

Isn't it weird how they're experts on drug overdose symptoms so they don't call for a hospital transport and that's fine, but when they let them die it's an accident?

This is horrific and unforgivable. They did nothing as this man had a medical crisis. There is a real "black guy, so it must be a drug problem" vibe coming from these officers' actions. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Hand counting with surveillance by camera and bipartisan volunteers is the only 99% sure way to preserve integrity. The data transmission will never be secure with this oligarchy owning everything

QVC would be pretty funny, imo

Glad to see he's still taking his nose candy every 20 minutes.

Unless they're playing fifth column, looks more like MAGAts to me. They're a violent coup and resigned their rights when they decided to facilitate mass murder and extrajudicial incarceration.
