A reminder that Trump flew the Taliban—a terror group—into Camp David to sign a treaty, thereby delegitimising the Afghan government, causing Afghan soldiers to desert, leaving U.S. troops unprotected and forcing Afghans supporting the troops to flee for their lives to the U.S.

‘Killers, leeches and entitlement junkies’ is actually the perfect description of the Trump regime.

Guy voted for a rapist and just can’t figure out why his daughters are mad at him. Clearly it must be something wrong with them.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

It’s not a stretch to say that my former political party is now firmly pro-Russia/pro-Putin. Not a stretch at all. It’s traitorous, but it’s true. Look, the leader of my former political party works for Putin. He’s on Putin’s side. Always has been. And the party has followed him.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.

Two national guardsmen who should have been home celebrating Thanksgiving with their families are dead BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP.
He is abusing our troops and American citizens, creating the conditions for violence so he can further solidify his power.
There was no reason for them to be there.
