That's weird, I thought that they said there wasn't any violence on Jan 6th?

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

"We're not fascists, we're just cracking down on anyone who thinks that fascism is bad!"

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

This honestly looks like something that a 14 year old would be into. How embarrassing.

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation.

Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

The folks who used to string together the craziest conspiracy narratives out of thin air now have one flashing in their eyes, and ringing in their ears, and they're like "I doubt there's anything to this".

This feels like common-sense, moderate politics, and yet he's considered a "radical" candidate. It's insane how broken the American political system is.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.

When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

White House Deputy Press Secretary seen here posting data showing how much more prevalent right wing domestic terrorism is than left wing domestic terrorism... while thinking she's showing the reverse.

Apparently she can only read headlines, but not the actual graph with the data.

Abigail Jackson saying: Democrats, calling your political opponents Nazis has consequences.

Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high

And posting a graph from Axios that shows WAY WAY WAY more right wing terrorism, and showing a very slight increase in left wing terrorism this year that would still have it lower than basically every other year of right wing terrorism.

They called Obama an 'elitist', because he was intelligent.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 11d

When a president brags about gold accessories as proof of “success,” it projects not leadership but authoritarian pageantry.
