A 25-year Army Veteran was prevented from demonstrating on Capitol Hill in support of Gaza. In America, speaking out against Israel can cost you everything.

Is this democracy or dictatorship?

Every word he says here is a lie. Every single word. But way too many people don’t care that he lies as he breathes. That’s a really bad thing that people don’t care. A people who do not care about being lied to like this deserve the tyranny they live under.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Ruben @gallego.senate.gov, D-Ariz., says GOP senators tell him they want a health care deal. “The biggest sticking point now that I’m hearing from them is like, even if we get something, [Mike] Johnson is just going to tank it. So why? Why would we move if Johnson is going to tank it?”

They are cynical liars duping ignorant fanatics who believe anything the liars tell them to believe.

That's not going to do anything. He needs to instruct state and municipal police and Illinois National Guardsmen to protect Illinois residents and protesters from these red state invaders.

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

As a reminder, when Jack Posobiec was in the US Navy, they assessed his full capabilities and concluded that he was best suited to collecting samples for urinalysis

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

We'll see but at some point, there will be a clash somewhere.

Trump wants to abuse us until we react so he can call in the military.

Whether they believe in democracy or fascism will ultimately determine this bc SCOTUS has abdicated its role in this system on the side of dictatorship.

The Nazis were the ones who resisted the Weimar Republic which was largely run by the Socialist Democrats.

The conservatives and moderates backed Hitler bc they were more afraid of the left and then he devised ways to get rid of the socialists and then everyone else.
