I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

TOP: Prem shares a clip of Noem saying “we’re going to take the same approach with Antifa” as they did with the boats they bombed (without evidence)

BOTTOM: Ingraham’s latest segment saying “they’re all Antifa now”🤔

BOTTOM LINE: We are over the cliff here, folks

On the night of August 31st 1939, Polish military units invaded the German Reich.

(What the German people were told by their leaders)

Luckily the Wehrmacht was nearby to repel the invasion.

History has a tendency to repeat itself.

Thou shalt not shoot pastors in the head with smoke bombs. I shouldn’t have to say this.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Dear Sec. Kristi Noem,

Is ANTIFA in the room with you now?

If seeing the video of a pastor being shot in the head with a pepperball and pepper-sprayed in the face up close doesn't change this debate just a little, I don't know what will...Of course it's not on Fox or NewsMax...

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says.

Not satire.

Russia took less than 1% of Ukraine since Nov 2023. Only cost them at least half a million soldiers.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."
