There can be no doubt that #Trump intends to use our military against us. Watch the whole damn thing! It's eerily like listening to his J6 speech, only its tuned to his military leader audience, and includes bribes and threats

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

… but what is plenary authority?

It's also good to show the truth, that Portland isn't a war zone. I saw a clip taken from where she is standing that showed maybe 30-40 protestors down on the street but the pan showed the whole city and there was nothing - no smoke, no large crowds anywhere, it was quiet. War zone? Right, sure babe

They are not just "eating the dogs, the cats". They are eating the raccoons, the unicorns, and the frogs too! And they are super-sizing them! Mayhem!

It's buried on his golf course, alongside wife 1? 2?, so he can claim a write-off on his tax returns.

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

The "offering" of Nat Guard troops? Offer? This twat needs to wash his mouth out with soap for such egregious lies.

Oh, what's so funny? The President calling for political leaders to be imprisoned? Yeah, laugh it up fur balls. Your time is coming.

Hmm, but I thought inflation was "solved". Could DJT have lied about inflation? Oh, say it ain't so. Our Dear Leader would never lie, would he?

Yeah, like we can rely on Kristy Noem for constitutional advice?

Pretty pathetic they have to stage lies and deceit to keep their hateful, naive viewers enraged!

They should not be allowed to use "News" in their name then - false advertising. Hmm, maybe a legal strategy to take down the #FoxPropagandaNetwork?

we charge our hyundai ioniq 5 around once every two to three weeks at a muncipal charger and i’d say it runs about $9 for 250 miles of range.

I also leased a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited and calculated about $12 for 280 miles of range (at $0.15 per kWh), equivalent to a gas car getting 70+ mph - with solar panels on the roof I essentially charge for free.

And the car is FAST - 0-60 in 4.3s - and luxurious. 💙

So, I'm guessing the #FoxPropagandaNetwork just missed Trump's speech to our military leaders where 1) He declared war on American citizens, their cities and states (but only the blue ones which makes it ok), and 2) Threatened to fire any military leader who doesn't go along with his plan.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Nice, well done Chicago! Once I get some time I'm coming to visit.

A seed drill. Cool, never heard of that. Thanks

Do you think it's a good idea for the govt to invest in and help farmers transition toward these practices?

Does climate change further compound the problem? i.e. greater uncertainty regarding weather patterns?

Well, all the more reason to just release the files, eh? Nothing to worry about here.

Wolf appeared on MTN claiming he saw the pictures from Epstein's safe showing Trump with half naked girls on his lap. So, if you believe Wolf?

And, there's the birthday letter from Trump to Epstein, eww

Gandolf the Grey @gsnyder.bsky.social · 4h

It would reduce pain for most, but for a small few releasing the #TrumpEpsteinFiles is going to open a can of whoopass for sure.
