American fascists want the recognition while also denigrating it. If Trump ever (hahahahaha!!!!) got the Peace Prize, he'd immediately forget about it and leave it behind in his hotel room.

Larry Kudlow to Sen. Eric Schmitt: "You and I should get on a plane, go to Davos or go to the UN or go to the Democratic Socialists who make these Nobel Prize decisions -- I think they'd rather shoot themselves than give him the Peace Prize. He deserves the Peace Prize."

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

He's still saying, "What have you got to lose?"

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 14h

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

One thing about fascism, you need a steely will and utter lack of empathy to ensure its success. If you're spending half the time talking about crushing your enemies and the other half whining about how mean everyone is being to you and your enforcers? You look and probably ARE weak.

"And these Chicagoans, big strong big-shouldered ones with tears in their eyes, they come to me, and they say 'Mr. Trump, please save us from improv comedy. And I say, oh, 'I will send troops to clean things up and figure out what the hell is going on.' Then they say to me, 'Yes, and...?'"

Reminder that even after he was shot, Scalise still opposed gun control. So...yeah, reflection is not his strong suit.

Scalise: "When a good day for you is defined by how much suffering you can impose on other people, maybe you need to look in the mirror and check yourself at the door and wonder what it is you're up here trying to accomplish."
