I went to cancel earlier this year, and they offered me 50% off, so I gave them one more chance.

Then I just saw this, and yeah, I'm done.

His version of thought-crime. I have a constitutional right to oppose religion, including Christianity. And I am completely anti-Trump. Does that make me anti-American. As for Anti-Fascist, well . . .

This is the problem with warrantless searches. If they let her go, she must have been a citizen or a legal resident. She has the constitutional right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure.

And all of that political body art. Would he allow political tatt’s in the military? What about discipline?

The loyalty purge continues. This week, FBI Director Kash Patel dismissed two longtime agents who had previously worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the federal investigations into Trump. Both agents had strong performance records, and no official reason was provided for their removal.

In all of this Chaos— the shooting of Kirk and the animosity it is sure to create between Americans.
We must remember it is not each other we are fighting— it is the #Billionaire #mafia that has taken over the government.
They want us to lose the plot— let’s make sure we don’t.

True. Narcissists thrive on attention & need it to survive. However, in Miller's case, it's not possible to cut off the attention he gets or drives. What we can do is educate others about his manipulation, gaslighting & lies. Personally, I think he's a sociopath & mentally unfit like Trump.

Also, no “fatties” or “beardos” in the military, but fat and/or bearded pigs are welcome to join ICE as long as they are right wing and pledge to be as sadistic and performative violent as possible. J6 pardoned militia types are the prime hiring pool. 😳

She has compelling evidence that the charge is patently FALSE. The lender has acknowledged that she disclosed, and they knew, that the house would be her daughter’s primary residence, not hers. Stone cold loser. Should never have been prosecuted.

Cancelled it last year. Painful to watch it shift from America’s best newspaper to a tabloid that is emulating the NY Post.

This is the essential thing that all the bothsidesing turns on. It's pounding the table of proceduralism so hard you hope people will ignore the facts - Trump ran a conspiracy to overturn the results of a election and thus the constitutional order itself. That's not just something bad, as you ...

I guess I should also add that a key difference between the Trump investigation and the Comey indictment is that *Trump did something obviously and significantly wrong*. Like, if you can't grok that distinction as important, I don't know what to say.

This terrible editorial states “[Jack Smith] charged Trump for official acts he took as president.” Really? When did he do that? What “official acts” are they talking about?

There is no organization known as “Antifa.” The presence of masked ICE goons behaving like America’s Gestapo has incited large numbers of American citizens to engage in their 1st Amendment right to assemble and engage in non-violent protest.

The difference between Trump‘s indictment of Letitia James, and Letitia James’ indictment of Donald Trump, is that Trump’s indictment led to Trump being convicted on all charges by a jury, whereas the JAMES indictment is going to lead to a very embarrassing acquittal (for Trump and Bondi).

Sickening abuse of power to be employed against a nonexistent organization. How can you be a terrorist organization when you’re not even an organization?
