I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Catholic churches here are stepping up Christlike when it comes to immigrants, definitely fighting for them & protecting them. I'm not in the business of defending Catholicism but they are taking that call seriously at least in DC.

The original sin was failing to send trump to prison for the rest of his life," for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020. He should have been charged and jailed, period.

John Fetterman was a Democrat. Then he got a brain injury and became a Republican.

If you can come up with a better example of what it takes to become a Republican, I challenge you to try.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

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?

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Reform UK’s Deputy Chair Paul Nuttall, was an MEP alongside Nathan Gill.

He’s been well known for being pro-Putin, including during his UKIP leadership campaign and his strange condemnation of the EU for not recognising Russia’s Annexation of Crimea.

What does he know about Russian Bribes?
