You can call me Iron, or Don if you prefer. I can be a bit of a jackass, so I might just offend you. Politics is my passion, although I do love sci-fi in general, and horror (to a degree). I am a Democrat, Liberal & Atheist. #Resist #Rebel #Fight 📎

I forget which European academic spent some time in DC and was shocked to learn that like 40% of GOP congressional staffers were Nick Fuentes fans.

Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

Flash backs to the Obama birtherism garbage. If our party (and Republicans but it’s useless expecting anything good from them) had the balls to shut that shit down as the unAmerican nonsense it was instead of letting it suck up so much oxygen we would’ve taken longer to get here lol
They're not waiting on the Supreme Court to tell them they can ignore the clear, plain text of the 14th Amendment that everyone born in the US is a birthright citizenship. They are trying to erase the citizenship of anyone with skin darker than Stephen Miller's through administrative action alone.

I consider myself a fairly patient person, but I can't listen to another second of this ridiculous, wheezing idiot. I'm done. Nothing he is saying aligns with anything that is really happening in the real world.

Kelly: I wish someone would tell him how math works. You know, that the prices are going to go down 500 or 600%. Anyone who's been through like the sixth grade by then knows that that is not a thing.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

This is called “breaking the law.”

Today’s deadline isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. Release ALL of the damn files. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files
The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November.

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975.
This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.
France exonerates women convicted over abortions before legalisation
Between 1870 and 1975, more than 11,660 people were convicted for performing or seeking an abortion, according to official estimates.

Whenever the redhats start screaming about “context”, you know you’ve caught them.

I watched a live with Whipple, who broke the story. He was asked how it happened that Wiles divulged this info over 11mos so openly. I’m still not satisfied with his answer that “people just want to tell their story”
Yes, being quoted extensively after doing 11 (!) interviews with a reporter is quite an outrage.

Candace Owens: 2 employees at TPUSA had prior knowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I gave their names to Erika Kirk.

Piers Morgan: Do you have any evidence for it?

Owens: I don’t have concrete evidence, which is why I’m not naming them 🤡

Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.
