If you weaponize the DOJ to intimidate elected officials, that’s not “politics.” It’s a federal crime. Retaliatory investigations violate civil‑rights and obstruction laws. Anyone turning law enforcement into a threat is advertising their own liability.

Apparently, it is now acceptable to attain a new status in life, simply by proclamation.

I hereby declare I am a 6' 2", 27 yr-old EGOT winner who is currently dating Taylor Swift.

Thank you for your attention to our delusions.

So now we know how the Trump administration plans to help fund Russia's continuing war of aggression in Ukraine. Trump will steal the oil revenues from Venezuela & hide the money in Qatar, where Putin can take it to help pay for his stupid war, which has Russia on the verge of economic collapse.

This shouldn't require saying, but we highlight polls at a time like this because 1) it's heartening to see the American people rejecting fascism, which inspires more to join; and 2) because Ds are under pressure from certain quarters NOT to engage, so we need to let them know what the people want.

Seeing how current events are unfolding… I wonder if there are a bunch of Nazis still missing from WWII?

Did they hide-out in America?

Have Nazis been manipulating our freedom, in order to implement their tired, tyrannical agenda of destruction and criminality?

The Polish PM is stating the obvious while #Trump blames #Zelenskyy for the lack of peace. Who really benefits from never-ending war? We all know that!

I mean I *knew* that the whole plan was for Machado to go to the White House and physically give Trump her Nobel Prize and yet I still feel like I’m disassociating that it happened.

He is so utterly pathetic and embarrassing and grotesque and cowardly and creepy and contemptible

He will of course now put this grimy theft on full display by situating his stolen trophy in the center of the Oval Office so that his risible, pimpish thuggery is in every TV shot
