"Here's a mountain of scientific, peer-reviewed studies about gender being a social construct."

"Nope."

"Here are historical records going back before Jesus walked the earth."

"It's a recent lie."

"... Here's one animated gif from 4chan on Hannity."

"Oh. My. God."

It's why Trump's base defends him regardless his actions.

He isn't a criminal; he just had a lapse in judgement.

He isn't a sexual predator; he's victim to women being repulsed by him.

He hasn't forgotten them; he just needs to purge America via sickness & poverty before rewarding their loyalty.

Agreed. But no one, not even Trump, can overcome the media story of local police standing opposite ICE agents on national TV, when it first happens.

Mike Johnson's desperate attempts to label #NoKings as hating America: the most recent distraction from his complete lack of humanity and control over the MAGA fanaticism crashing down around him.

When Biden grew older, he talked softer and took more naps. While Trump gets older, his delusions convince him to send military units against American children and journalists.

Anyone equating the two simply doesn't have a moral compass or soul.

There comes a point where local and state police need to start defending their neighbors from federal agents.

It says a lot that Republicans literally are digging through vats of shit to find any thread of evidence to support their false narratives.

Even seemingly loyalist troops to Trump in the military have a line in the sand, which usually ends at their wallet. In this, they're cut from the same mold as their would-be king, has-been felon.

"Man, I don't even know what we're doing here anymore." An ICE agent complaining to his teammate.

ICE is weaker than Trump and Miller want to admit because, at the end of the day, they have more humanity than their supervisors.

Miller will be last man standing in his personal Trump Puppet crusade.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

It's not like members of Congress have ever had reason to hide for their lives from protests in the Capitol before.

Oh, wait.

Nah... those were Trump supporters. Right. All good.

James successfully prosecuted Trump of millions in fraud. Trump's second try at prosecuting James is for $16k, and anyone who refuses the case is fired. Emperor Nero is getting desperate.

You're watching an old man rapidly lose his mental capacity while presiding over the world's most dangerous military. A pathological liar, Trump's mind no longer has the guard rails of reason to sane-wash his claims.

None of his enablers push back, choosing profit or power over Americans' safety.

Oct 11, 2002: President Bush convinces Congress to grant him military powers & invade Iraq, a war later proven to have started under false pretense of weapons of mass destruction.

Estimates range from 100k-500k Iraqis being killed as a result.

Now, it's Trump lying about & attacking America. Wtf.

There are entire American citizen communities that have experienced for decades, centuries, what white Americans are just now experiencing for the first time.

Police brutality? Financial abuse? Medical negligence? Officials lying about you without consequence?

Welcome to the real America, folks.

The best way to contain American influence abroad is to sow division within the populace. With Progressive fighting only Conservatives, there's still energy to contain Putin.

Get either to also fight amongst "their own" extremists, suddenly Putin (and China) have the world stage to themselves.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Trump Bizarro World

- MTG agrees with Democrats.
- Democrats are defending Bolton.
- NRA isn't defending against tyranny.
- Progressives want law & order.
- Libertarians want federal intrusion.
- Naked children are terrorists.
- Armed masked kidnappers are heroes.
- Transparency is hiding evidence.

Anyone who says that adoptive parents cannot deeply love their adopted child has absolutely no concept of what becoming a parent is about. It's like saying that you can't deeply love a spouse simply because you chose to get married instead of being forced into it. One day you just woke up engaged.

Oct 10, 1935: The Hellenic Parliament of Greece is overthrown by military coup, reinstating King George II. Barely a year later, George endorses Ioannis Metaxas' plan for dictatorship, which lasts until Metaxas' death in 1941.

George himself died in 1947, during the Greek Civil War that followed.

The techbro mindset would tell you that men think with their dicks, so arguing that circumcision can contribute to autism is valid to them. Mind, there are a few that could do with a full frontal lobotomy, or at least have their... tonsils removed. But that's a topic for another time.

The Guardian, showing how much of a tantruming toddler Trump is on the world stage. Clamoring for "his" Nobel Prize while shitting in the diaper he's made of America's civil rights.

Like... you know you've fucked up really badly as a Republican caucus to make MTG agree on camera with Democrats.

It's tantamount to RFK admitting on camera that his medical advice comes from 4chan and bubble gum wrappers instead of doctors and scientists.
