Gutless wimps.

Too busy listening to the complaints in the house, where they hold essentially a super majority over a group of people arguing among themselves to bring back policies (and politicians) who are self-vandalising.

We deserve better. A Govt from the electorate, not the donors.

Antifa isn’t an organization, but there are anti-fascist organizations, such as the Democratic Party.

Similarly, fascism isn’t an organization, but there are fascist organizations, such as the Republican Party.

What amazes me is the firehose stream of lies and distractions that flows so easily from the mouths of those turkeys.

Trump picks his friends well.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Interesting thought. How would that actually be achieved?

We need to make two different countries.

If the right were allowed to make all the laws and policies they wanted and the left were allowed to make all the policies they wanted, we would have two opposite systems.

We are two different peoples, and we need two different countries.

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 1d

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Peace died along with the truth in the US when Trump took office. They don't give peace prizes to folks who drop bombs on civilian boats in international waters.
