Donald Trump’s father was arrested, too. Twice.
Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, was arrested on two occasions, 49 years apart. One involved a Ku Klux Klan rally, the other code violations at a building he owned.
www.washingtonpost.com
Curious how the supposed “left wing media” hasn’t given attention to Trump’s father’s Nazi/KKK beliefs. Fred Trump was part of a Nazi sympathizers group in NYC called the Bund. He was also arrested for marching in a KKK rally and fighting with police in 1927. www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023...

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.
In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice.
People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment.
Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America.
Speak up now. Press conference today.

This is so sad. So much progress in treatments against cancer and other diseases...all canned because of "DEI". Racism literally kills.
🚨 Supreme Court allows Trump administration to terminate $783 million in NIH grants linked to DEI initiatives.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson:
“‘There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this [Trump] Administration always wins.’”

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

how sad is it that 'evidence-based' no longer applies to a government 'for the people'?
Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪
