RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

The “terrorist wing” of the Democratic Party. Would that be the Proud Boys? No, they’re on the other side. Is it the Oath Keepers? No? Wrong side, too? Patriot Front? No? Michigan Militia? Also no? Huh….

Trump’ll sue him for copyright infringement.

BREAKING: “Chicago has been destroyed,” says totally sane and not in any way Trump’s bitch Mike Johnson.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

As Jesus famously said, “Treatheth not the illegal rabble rouser from some South American country, but rather let him bleed out in the ER waiting room for he hath dark skin.”
