It won’t stop with Jimmy Kimmel, would you ever again trust @ABC News to tell a truth Trump doesn’t want us to hear? #BoycottABC.

To enforce gold quotas, Columbus ordered that those who failed to meet them have their hands cut off and bleed to death. Indigenous people were publicly humiliated, tortured, or executed to instill fear and maintain control.

They want a Pope like Innocent III.

In 1209, in the bloody Crusade against the Albigenses, a French army took the town of Beziers, near the Mediterranean coast. The town was put to the sack, but the question arose as to how to tell which of the town's inhabitants were damned heretics and which were good Christians. Simon IV de Montfort (or perhaps a legate of Pope Innocent III) said he had an easy solution. "Kill them all," he said, "for the Lord will know his own." And so several tens of thousands of men, women, and children were killed.

Is this real? They probably thought that, but would never admit it.

Opera Joe 🎼🇨🇦🇺🇦🇲🇽🆘 @operajoe.bsky.social · 20h

Trump said it would be an insult to the United States if he didn’t win the Nobel Prize. I’m an American, and I don’t feel insulted at all.

Harry Truman on Republicans, 1948…

Since they won't tell you themselves, I'll tell you...
• They approve of the American farmer-but they are willing to help him go broke.
• They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing.
• They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights.
• They favor a minimum wage--the smaller the minimum the better.
• They indorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools.
They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them.
They approve of social security benefits-so much so that they took them away from almost a million people.
They believe in international trade--so much so that they crippled our reciprocal trade program, and killed our International Wheat Agreement.
They favor the admission of displaced persons--but only within shameful racial and religious limitations.
They consider electric power a great blessing-but only when the private power companies get their rake-off.
They say TVA is wonderful--but we ought never to try it again.
They condemn "cruelly high prices"--but fight to the death every effort to bring them down.
They think the American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people.
And they admire the Government of the United States so much they’d like to buy it.

I guess you have to pretend to be a Democrat once in a while, since you run as one to get elected.

Does Stephen Miller know that H.R. Haldeman served his time at Lompoc Federal Prison, and was forced to work in sewage disposal there?

They admitted in court that they don’t do news. It’s all a scam. But, there are a lot of stupid Americans.
