The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

We now go live to the White House to get reaction from Serial Sexual Assaulter, and world biggest bullshitter Donald Trump on the new that the Nobel Peace Prize has been won by Venezuelan Woman, Maria Corina Machado.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Never before have I seen a US President pick an entire group of people to be a murderer with no evidence, and then proceed to recommend a crackdown on said group.

If you didn't think you had fascism in the USA, you are about to find out.

Why didn’t he issue such a statement when Mellisa Hortman and her husband were murdered?

Can someone please find the condemnation from Matthew Bartlett, who is on bbc news at the moment, condemning the murder of Melissa Hortman & her husband,because I can’t find it.He surely must have have been very vocal in his condemnation given how livid he is at the moment about “political violence”

Simon Harrington @harrygoodfella.bsky.social · Sep 10

Just wondering if Trump Tweeted / Truthed within minutes of Melissa Hortman & her husband being murdered in July?

If not it means he’s ok with political violence

Which we all knew anyway

To anyone from Leeds who likes great food then you need to pay a visit to #thehighlandladdie just off Kirkstall Road near the casinos

Just had a Roast & the beef was hands down some of the best I have ever had that got better with the meal as it soaked up the gravy.

Sensational Food

And I’m Willing to bet everything I own that

A. The elections don’t happen because of some bullshit he makes up

Or

B. If they do happen and they lose they will be “rigged” and it will be total chaos again

Given Trumps love of litigation against anyone who says the slightest thing he doesn’t like, I think it’s quite telling that since this tweet over a month ago, he has done nothing.

A truly harrowing, but vital watch and I tip my hat to you for your relentless determination for justice.

After watching the harrowing #Grenfell Doc on Netflix, & seeing #WesStreeting announce an investigation into Maternity services today, it’s clear to me that all roads lead to David Cameron’s Govt of 2010.

Austerity & cuts, yet more debt & inequality.

The most appalling govt in history

Whenever Trump goes on about how all the immigrants are dangerous criminals and we have to get them out of the country

Just remember that he pardoned this guy

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney.bsky.social · Jun 18

JUST IN: DOJ seeks *life* in prison for Edward Kelley, a former Jan. 6 defendant who was separately convicted of conspiring to murder the FBI agents and police who investigated him.

Kelley had argued Trump's pardon should cover his other crimes too.
