A bunch of weirdos with a documented party history of pedophilia who are in the middle of covering for Epstein want to hang out at child care centers. Fucking freaks. And we should say so.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

The constitutional remedy for a president who uses collective punishment against people for the crimes of a few is impeachment, removal, and disqualification, followed by a criminal trial.
BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

But never once did Biden blurt out the details of a CIA covert op by going on a B-list radio show

The mainstream media has been virtually completely captured by people who like Trump and want him to win, and who protect him by constantly, unceasingly minimizing and obfuscating everything negative about his presidency.

If anything, accusations of pro-Trump media bias in 2024 were grossly understated. It's a remarkably clear tell that the media has gone from breathlessly obsessed with Biden's age and health to utterly disinterested in Trump's (clearly much worse and actually disqualifying) age and health.
The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

A lot of people are trying to justify their own desire to surrender to Trump early in the year
I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.
No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.
I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

There's also a transphobia angle to this too. Greene wanted to pass her anti-trans bill (She got cross with me two years ago and criticized that McCarthy hadn't put it up for a vote). Instead, Trump prioritized Crypto, AI and tax cuts.
