You really are a defiant piece of work.

The fact that you have no problem with Qatar having ANY military activity on American soil means that you are a Trump apologist. This BTW proves the infamous Qatari plane wasn't "free"

And you can surgically wordsmith this until your twat falls off but...NO!

Do you think the ambitious young twinkies at News Corp who were tasked by their assignment editors to find shit on the brown-skinned American singer even KNOW that?🤦

Haha yeah. I can relate. But do we really gain anything from pleasuring ourselves with feelgood moments?

If we want the government back we have to convince non-voting voters to vote; that an alternative to Republican rule really will improve their lives. Focus-tested centrists will motivate nobody.

Seen the Ciattarelli TV ads? He wants to be governor because his opponent is "WOKE" and likes "PRONOUNS".

I don't doubt that he has a shot if indeed the voters of New Jersey are really that fucking gullible and ignorant.

And if that DOESN'T sway them, it means Trump certainly is "on the ballot"!

Cool parody, but these snooty fuckers on Eighth AV are really becoming parodies of themselves now (oh and BTW guys, you can stop writing backhanded narratives about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. They're not landing anymore.)

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

My sincere advice to Chicagoans who drive: CARRY.

👉USE.

When these cosplaying goons start actually giving their lives, you're going to see exactly what tough macho men they are as they all blow Dodge and flee back home with their tails tucked between their meaty legs.

These goons could have just left a note on the windshield: "We hit your car. Sorry."

I have never owned a gun. My sincere advice to all citizens of Chicago who drive a car:

CARRY.

These goons will keep swinging their dicks until a few of them take the dirt nap. Then watch the pussies go back home

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Nawww! The Channel 9 video producer just so happened to be right in dead center of the part of Chicago where the brownshirts were brutalizing Chicagoans because she had nowhere else to be at that moment and simply got caught up in the fog of War🤮

CNN has its legit moments. This isn't one of them.

I still think Ms. Twinkletwat, under orders from an enraged Trump by way of Bondi, is going to perp walk the Black lady. It's his brand.

Even after she's released I would hope to see Tish James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social use her well-known legal badassery and fearlessness to turn around and send a spate of lawsuits straight up Trump's ass.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Thought exercise: have you ever pointed out this kind of blatant Trump hypocrisy to a MAGA, and have him go, "Oh man, I didn't know that! I guess Trump really is a scumbag!"..???

Ms. Attiah, ya know what's great? Now that you're (involuntarily!) "on the beach", you have time to look around and see the silliness and fun all around you, like this-- er, whatever it is!😁

This is good! You deserve a respite from all the Crapola. Best of luck.

NO. If they refused to allow Trump to be prosecuted, then what's good for the goose, etc.

Opponents of this administration (like you?) must stop "doing the right thing" for as long as the other son of a bitch in the ring is refusing to "do the right thing", or we're sitting ducks for fascism.

Why is there at the very least no lawsuit against Mike Johnson, who has presumed to entirely shut down the U.S. House of Representatives, simply because they might do things Trump doesn't want done?

I didn't know you could do that. He did that. Sue the little prick for this NOW (please?)!

Russ DiBello @russdibello.bsky.social · 8h

"Perhaps"?

Why are we who are on the side of the angels always so reticent to speak directly? Why can't we just say this is what it IS, and Mike Johnson should be jailed for shutting down the House?

Do you think Trump and the MAGAs choose THEIR words carefully?

Hey I worked on a set once with Keanu Reeves! Very focused and intense actor. But the finest thing about him was when Colbert did that "test" of his and asked Keanu what he thought happens when we die.

"I know that the ones who love us will miss us". It left Colbert speechless and me sorta misty🥰
