If I wanted to be able to get people to do my bidding and be beholden to me, these are the kinds of people I’d pick. The kinds who quite obviously can be blackmailed into breaking the law for fear of being exposed.

Weird that they wouldn’t choose someone who’s deploying troops against his own people.

This is the first time I’ve seen her as I’m not Californian, but this seems pretty disqualifying.

Did someone say Eastern District of VA…

What losers these people are.

Code switching is a real thing across all kinds of backgrounds. It applies here too.

I called her office yesterday and left a long message telling her that while I am not a constituent and would never vote for her if I was, I am thankful that she’s getting it right on the shutdown and Epstein issues.

I sincerely hope you’re pressing the issue of Halligan’s appointment to the Eastern District of VA. Neither this nor the Comey indictment seem likely to hold any water.

You might be overthinking it. They could literally show him anything and tell him it’s Portland. Republicans have already been caught recently using pics from South America and claiming that was Portland.

Yup

I genuinely think we’re going to see him get the death penalty.

I wasn’t planning on living thorough our very own Nuremberg, but since we are, let’s win.

This clap-back is 🔥

“You think my self-worth is determined by your opinion of me when in reality I know for a fact that I was better than you the day I was born.”

"Your grandparents were born on third base, mine were born in the parking lot but still managed to score before you.” Holy shit!

So Trump is taking $20B off the “tariff shelf” which leaves us with only $12,980,000,000,000 according to Trump.

I hope this really is the stupidest timeline. If there’s something worse than this I prefer to remain ignorant.

It’s really strange to realize we’re living in a world without Jane Goodall.

Oh, also, Fuck Trump.

Surely this must have autocorrected something about drag queens or trans folk, right?

Otherwise MAGA must just be full of shit.

I’m really looking forward to this.

Fix this.

Oh wow, I just looked up that packaging and you are so right.

Brand? Dosage?

Maybe I don’t spend enough time watching Mob Wives and need to remedy that 🤣

Wow are a lot of people going to experience karmic justice when they learn that presidential immunity doesn’t cover them and they didn’t get pardoned on the way out.
