Netanyahu is an enemy of America. He divides us and uses our pliable dunce of a president like a rag doll. I hope he gets the justice he deserves from the people of Israel now that the war is paused.

I think it likely that the reason someone posted that Stephen Miller is a fascist is because Stephen Miller is an unrepentant, committed fascist.Most likely, the poster was attempting to convey that Stephen Miller is a very bad person, with horrible values, who enjoys hurting people. IOW, a real POS

Peter Theil and Enron Musk are not even American-sounding names. Musk’s name in particular sounds more like some kind of Texas criminal fraud conspiracy over the worldwide energy markets. Both of those as## have nothing in common with true Americans & both should go back to wherever they came from.

What are you talking about? There is no known precedent for JD Vance, uttering anything not completely contrived and utterly false, let alone actually true. That a*** is from Ohio, and wouldn’t recognize true if it bit him in the ass. You’re just exaggerating by pointing to a nonexistent phenomenon.

Do you mean to tell me that Republican Jesus is brown? Then he has no defense; ICE would be well w/i its rights to extraordinary rendition & deport Him w/o any process.

I’ve always seen Him pictured as fair skinned/blonde/blue-eyed like everyone from the ancient land now called Palestine. Who knew?

Being brown.

Next, you’re probably going try to tell me that Republican Jesus is not a registered Republican, even though the unvarnished evidence is right there in front of you in His name.And even though he speaks to Republican surrogates on an almost continuous basis. I’m calling blasphemy on your BS denials.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Jemelle: Your confusion arises because you have confused Sally with a person who cares about good journalism. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

If a bunch of cops walk out because Mamdani has been elected, that will definitely be a win-win. That would instantly give New York a better, less white supremacist police force. All of society would benefit, except for the white supremacist and fuck them anyway.
