No, these channels are popping up daily and YouTube refuses to remove them. We’ve hired a lawyer but it’s a long, expensive process to get them removed.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

I’ll still be doing daily content on Farron Balanced, so there will not be a lack of content from me, just not on Ring of Fire

It’s so fucking funny that we’re still getting five NYT op-eds a week calling for the left to tone down their rhetoric

Remember when Hillary Clinton called some Trump supporters “deplorable“?

I’m actually really mad I didn’t use that as the title for my segment on it. “Trump Fails to Get It Up And Karoline Leavitt Is FURIOUS.”

Probably not the first time Trump had trouble rising to the occasion…

Yes, this is a serious threat to the country, but I also have to laugh at the fact that he just has a framed picture of himself above his left shoulder.

Trump: "When you have networks where I won an election in counties -- I guess it's 2,600 to 525, that's called a landslide times two -- when you have that kind of popularity or voter support, and yet 97% of the newscasts are against me ... I think that's really illegal."

Just so we’re clear: This is an admission that they are bombing people indiscriminately, and they have no idea who their “targets” actually are.

Absolutely wild that people are losing their jobs, their college admissions, their rights and freedom - all for making fun of the president’s favorite YouTuber. What a time to be alive

at the center of the efforts to destroy civil society in russia, hungary, georgia and elsewhere is the stigmatization, harassment, & criminalization of NGOs. that's what this is about, a full-on assault on democratic debate & freedoms.

this is not hyperbole. it's right here.

Vance: "There's no unity with people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers...Soros' OSF and the Ford Foundation...benefit from generous tax treatment...How do they reward us? By setting fire to the house built by the American family."

I plan to post this ABC News supercut video of Trump calling Harris and Democrats "fascists" (and "communists"!) everytime I see a Republican on TV whining about Trump being called a "fascist" by the left.

Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the gaslighting!

Get the hell off Twitter already. Edolf doxxing school teachers (or anyone else saying mean things about a white nationalist) should be your final straw.
