A main problem I am seeing is that the Venezuelan people have no idea what designs this corrupt Administration has for them.

Venezuela does have newspapers and news stations, right? Why aren’t they showing videos of FOTUS literally saying they are coming for their oil/minerals? #GalvanizingProtest

Cannot wait for your analysis on the deposition!

Let us know, Katie…

Wait- he simply answered “yes or no”? He did not have prepared insults? Did not obfuscate or delay a response?

Weird but it feels refreshing to see this type of exchange…

Seeing that social media is algorithmically designed to keep you addicted to the scroll, the TL, the FYP, etc., I’d opine it is more like a drug tailored to keep you high (angry/aroused). I mean, we have age requirements for alcohol and tobacco.

Most adults are media addicts and don’t even know it…

Saw a quote somewhere. Paraphrasing:

Dems treat norms like laws. Repubs treat laws like norms…

Not to contradict but it was a public fundraising event in NY. But, she also explained why.

“…what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that.”

Given reality, no lies detected…

Everyone *sees* the rant. Trust me. It’s hourly.

Your job as a news organization is to look into the claim (Thailand-Cambodia) to categorically see if it’s true or not and then f***ing say it.

This is just stenography…

It’s become my favorite podcast as of late. Something about Allison & Andrew’s blend of expertise and almost mild yet devastating manner by which they explain the legal-sphere…

In a sane world, media should and would cut the mics of anyone that carries this fetid pail of reasoning.

This was never political. ALL who are involved should be frog marched. This “Dems or Repubs” shit must stop and any defenders just kicked to the curb. Period…

And, worse still- no financial restitution to the grifters, thieves, Ponzis, and con artists who bilked Americans of millions. They get to keep the money they stole…

@michaelcohen212.bsky.social mapped it out years back- FOTUS *never* directly asks. It’s all allusive hint.

His current sycophants and enablers know this, too…

Was literally just considering the (accelerated) death & destruction wrought upon Ukraine these past weeks…

Reading and seeing the continuing Russian drone strikes on the Ukrainian civilian populace and it’s critical infrastructure-

This is terrorism. Plain and simple.

And, this Administration knows full well what is transpiring. Yet, inviting and coddling Russian officials within our borders? 🦗🦗🦗
