"Barbie acts interested as old white guy complains." - the template for all RW media
Burchett: "One thing we found out during covid, we started looking over kids' shoulders at what they were getting from schools & these young children we ought to have more control over are soaking this up & that's why you're seeing the explosion of transgender. To me it's demonic, from pits of hell"

Let's make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause. (1/3)

Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist who pushed the racist Great Replacement Theory. Kirk was vociferously anti-LGBTQ. Kirk's final words were to besmirch Black people.
Stop this revisionism. People who say bad things don't deserve to be murdered, but they also don't deserve to be praised either.

The last guy to show off his military access by sharing classified military intel with unauthorized people on a consumer chat app, Jack Teixeira, will be in prison until 2036
A friend of mine who worked in national security for decades had a great line about Hegseth: "He's like a child playing a video game who wants to show off his high scores." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...
Details Hegseth Shared on Signal Came From a Secure Site
Information about U.S. strikes in Yemen that the defense secretary put in two group chats came from Central Command, according to two people familiar with the chats.

Just because lawlessness is state-sponsored, doesn’t mean it ain’t crime, and crime is bad for the economy.
