I know it’s a conspiracy theory, but did everyone forget about how our Navy mysteriously forgot how to not crash into things the last time the circus administration was in power?
Seems odd that a military chopper drifted into a commercial jet…

Oh Letitia James indicted. Check Trump's Truth Social Media to see which one of his corrupt lackeys he thought he was DM'ing to threaten them into doing this (probably that sad Pam Blondie)

Poor Pam Bondi

First the Comey Soon-To-Be-Dismissed-Indictment, now the Tish James Soon-To-Be-Dismissed Indictment

Blondie never knows if Trump's illegal and threatening orders to her will be made in private or on social media

The video is in stark conflict with the government’s account that federal agents in Broadview were “boxed in by 10 cars” and the woman, Marimar Martinez, 30, was one of the drivers

John Fetterman was a Democrat. Then he got a brain injury and became a Republican.

If you can come up with a better example of what it takes to become a Republican, I challenge you to try.

1. Create a boogeyman: “Antifa”

2. Label the inhabitants of these cities as “Antifa”

3. Attack “Antifa”

Notice how they’re done with “woke”?

TOP: Prem shares a clip of Noem saying “we’re going to take the same approach with Antifa” as they did with the boats they bombed (without evidence)

BOTTOM: Ingraham’s latest segment saying “they’re all Antifa now”🤔

BOTTOM LINE: We are over the cliff here, folks

Food for thought. Particularly when you realize that most people don’t know the difference between socialism and communism. Nor do they understand what capitalism really is.

We’re All Socialists — But Only Trump Acts Like a Communist

As Americans lose faith in capitalism, Trump’s economic nationalism looks less like free enterprise and more like state control…

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.

Don’t forget that all of these fascists that were at the Nazi Roundtable, all are connected to each other, plus 770 am 🤮 has given them a platform.

It’s almost like when they describe Antifa, it sounds like them🤔. Projection.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

Brandi Kruse at today's "antifa violence roundtable" at the White House: "This is one of the reasons I recovered from it. By the way, it’s much better to not have TDS. I’m happier, healthier, more successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump Derangement System"

Yep. They need a boogeyman.

Tea Pain @teapainusa.bsky.social · 1d

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.
