These people are absolutely delusional. They don’t even understand the teachings of Jesus. To think they feel openly that they should label Jesus a King. 🤦 That is blasphemy and rhetoric that should never be used at a political pulpit.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

“What is to stop Trump from making comparably inflated claims about the situations on the ground in other American cities as a pretextual basis for deploying troops? And what’s to stop him from making those claims not tomorrow, but next November—on the eve of the midterms?”

Me, via “One First”:

184. The Massive Stakes of Trump v. Illinois

The Trump administration's 29th emergency application—to let it deploy federalized National Guard troops in Chicago on a profoundly dubious factual predicate—is a make-or-break moment for the Court.

Trump’s War on Antifa Is Destined to Backfire

By raising the salience of anti-fascism, the administration is likely to inspire a heightened public profile for the movement—and a deeper identification with its ideas and values.

Holy “parallel establishment”. “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is sounding the alarm about the Trump administration’s approval of a new bank backed by two GOP megadonors, tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey” … 1/ www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Trump administration gives initial approval to bank backed by GOP megadonors

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says the approval of Erebor Bank, which is linked to Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey, is a classic example of crony capitalism.

If this is what it takes to get through to the simple mind of a MagaT then we should sponsor these for airplay in southern districts…btw “No Kings” is my heritage and I’d like to preserve this.

50 years ago, School House Rock debuted “No More King” to teach kids why America has no king. 📺

Tomorrow, we reinforce that in the USA, there are still “No Kings” & we're united against any emerging. Stand with us at your event: https://nokings.org

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint.

They are all terrified of King Donald.

Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll

What the jury found Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was in fact rape, as commonly understood, even if it didn't fit New York law's narrow definition, says Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
