I truly find it hard to believe that any sentient human being under 75 actually watches the Sunday propaganda fest.

Showing us, once again, the MAGA grifters don’t care one iota for America or Americans - only themselves.

In a word -yes.

What’s the next trope you are going to use?

Shit- Gym Jordan is still around? Thought he went back to Ohio for the shutdown to ensure pedophiles in Ohio are safe from prosecution.

The regime is looking at two ways to declare martial law -one external, one internal. Internally, they actively want someone to shoot/kill an ICE agent and are being deliberately provocative to make that happen. Externally, they hope a terrorist bombs the US (and will lie and blame in on “ANTIFA”)

Can’t believe I’m siding with China - but here we are.

Stay in your financial lane Catherine.

So Catherine
@crampell.bsky.social, what’s the takeaway here with your post?

Yes - It was absolutely horrific and unconscionable what Hamas did, but Israel’s continued killing of kids/civilians is OK?

Just a weekly reminder that Fox News host Brian Kikmeade publicly stated it was a good idea to kill homeless folks - at least 40K of which are Veterans.

And not one Republican in Congress found this appalling.

Cruelty is the point with republicans.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to rebuild but we will lose critical expertise that won’t be coming back -through pre-mature retirement, permanent firings, lack of good immigrants coming into the system, & a loss of students in the pipeline (& mentors for students). Will take decades to rebuild.

The first Dem Governor that truly puts up opposition, (instead of just yapping) including have state police both protect protestors and arrest ICE personnel illegally grabbing people off the streets will easily be the next Dem Prez nominee.

And it appears that the House doesn’t even seem to ever be in session anymore. MAGA Mike has effectively killed it.

Thomas Janecek @twocatfarm1.bsky.social · 21h

Little Mike (who doesn’t seem to work anymore) is dog whistling here to his MAGA cultists to get them to come out on No Kings day. He will have blood on his hands if/when confrontations occur and get violent.

So correct. You don’t build science-based agencies overnight. It takes years/decades to accumulate the knowledge-base, robust data sets, & personnel expertise for trusted orgs like the CDC, NIH, NSF to function properly. This regime has condemned us to second-tier science/health status for decades.

“The administration did not like that CDC data did not support their narrative, so they got rid of them. They didn’t like that CDC policy groups would not rubber stamp their unscientific ideas, so they got rid of them”.

The damage to the CDC is “beyond repair”.

I wonder what Jared’s bar is for “exceptional” status? Was that awarded after 20K, 40K, or 60K civilian deaths in Gaza?
