We need a little beauty right now. This fiddle played sweet music in a Killarney pub 10 years ago and makes me smile to see it.

Hi. I’d like to report a deranged and delusional man in the White House who’s inciting violence and represents a danger to public safety. Can law enforcement please handle this matter?

If it's not all the same guy, why do all these masked men have the same eyes???

Zeb Ulon @ampshade.bsky.social · 8h

also the guy who says he killed Osama bin Laden. very illustrious career!

Fox News has faced ridicule online for repeatedly interviewing masked "guests" - supposedly a "former Antifa member," an "ex-gang member, and others - who all appear to have the same build, eyes, and voice, leading viewers to suspect it's the same man each time.
Internet sleuths recently compared screenshots and suggested the mystery guest resembles Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims to have fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden.
O'Neill, who's been a frequent Fox News contributor and commentator for years, has a long history of appearances on the network. The recurring use of masked figures resembling him has sparked fresh criticism of Fox's credibility and its penchant for sensational, poorly vetted segments.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Stephen Miller/ heritage vought, gave Bondi a list of one liner insults to sling at each individual asking questions. Beligerent, finger pointing, irrational, defensive.
You’d think she was hiding stuff.🙄

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.
