Total misfit Stephen Miller (who hates everybody) says America doesn’t have a melting pot. So…. I think we know who was mocked and bullied in middle school. Get some therapy, Stephen.
The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

“Retail therapy” isn’t recommended as psychological therapy to help people; it’s recommended by leaders and politicians in order to boost the economy, which does help people some but mostly helps them.
💯 If only people would stop being manipulated by the myth of retail therapy. Remember when GWBiah advocated it as a way to deal with the trauma of 9/11.

I don’t shop anywhere on Black Friday, purposely.

I don’t care who let that guy in. I care that Trump was told the National Guard in DC was illegal so they should not have been there to get shot.
Except that’s what everyone on the right was doing before we learned it was the Trump admin that granted him asylum - and most are still doing it. If only Republicans would blame the shooters more often instead of trying to use deranged acts by individuals for political gain.

He’s so disgusting and repugnant— why do so many people like that??? We are surrounded by people who think he’s great — that’s the most disturbing thing of all.
Trump revels in his favorite pastime: degrading women, snarling "Are you stupid?" at a female reporter challenging his lies on Biden's Afghan vetting failures. #Misogyny

Easy answer: when an unfit president appoints an unfit buddy to do work he isn’t experienced or qualified to do well … what do you expect?

He won’t have to suffer much longer.
To be fair, kissing Trump's arse is a full-time job and so physically demanding! 🙄

Wait, are Jews and Muslims and atheist and agnostics supposed to leave the country now? when do those deportation start?
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just spoke to reporters about two National Guardsmen shot earlier today.

“I mentioned the faith of this country, the Christian faith”

Why is he invoking Christian nationalism?

This hateful administration wakes up every day thinking. Who can we offend today? Who can we harm today? Who can we be cruel to today? When will they outlaw Thanksgiving because it celebrates unity and kindness?
This is disgusting.

Ronald Reagan refused to acknowledge the AIDS crisis. Even refused to help his "friend from the Hollywood days" Rock Hudson.

George W. Bush waited 7 years to recognize World AIDS Day.

And now we are back to a POS GOP POTUS who will ignore it.

If the president does it, it’s not illegal” (said by disgraced criminal president Nixon, who was pardoned so he didn’t go to prison)
What a topsy-turvy time we live in.

They shouldn’t quit — they should switch parties.

Hopefully its true “what goes around, comes around”. There is always a pendulum swing. I can’t wait for the pendulum to swing back to normal.
There will be future investigations into the political persecutions of James Comey and Letitia James.

Rs in Congress: frustrated? depressed? Expect to lose next year while getting nothing done? Don’t quit. Switch parties. Leave the “Republican” Party, become Independent or Democratic. Then you can put a check on the White House insanity and get some real things done for Americans who sent you there.
November 25, 2025 at 12:21 PM
Rumors are rampant that there will be more resignations in the GOP House of Reps. Why quit? Instead, leave the Republican Party and become a Democrat or an Independent; create a new majority and stop the Trump insanity.

And those who could help average Americans survive this Trump era are paying lawyers.
November 24, 2025 at 12:40 PM
Old Orange Face keeps ranting about the Congress people who reiterated the rule about the military, must not follow illegal orders. He calls for the death penalty for them. When that doesn’t happen, more proof that he’s ignored when he acts like the ridiculous and unfit buffoon that he is.

These are the convicted violent criminal insurrectionists that Trump pardoned on day one of his administration.
Daily reminder for those who may hav3 forgotten.

THIS is an insurrection.

Ew. Just …. Ew.
🧵More important than RFK Jr's phallocentric prose is this: the Lizza piece, for which he wants you to pay, suggests Nuzzi did catch and kill work for worm brain. As noted @reahan.bsky.social , Lizza could have reported earlier and possibly done "appointus interruptus" on Kennedy. But he did not.

Reminder: this has happened before: former SecDef Esper refused an illegal order to shoot American protesters.

Watch her entire resignation speech — it’s a good one. I don’t agree with her behaviours or 99% of her policies, but her speech is impressive and tells the truth about the state of our government.
November 22, 2025 at 4:06 PM
Fox News loves her and made her a star. Why? She’s a resentful and pretty blonde — that’s all it takes.
“How to Monetize Your Own Failures Through the Magic of Bigotry”
As first reported by @msjpauly.bsky.social and @pablo.show, the Harris County GOP gave Riley Gaines $25,000 to speak at the 2025 Lincoln Reagan Dinner with Gov. Greg Abbott. Here's a little more context on that, plus Gaines' relationship with the Texas GOP: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Comer is a moron. She can’t plead the 5th.
“Plead the Fifth” regarding what??

Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her.

Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her.
