MTG takes us back to the 3rd grade with the classic: "I know are so what am I?:
Very shitty people who become opposed to other very shitty people are still very shitty people

LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well

STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people

MTG: I'd like for you to respond to that

In fact, I do. What's up with that?
You ever notice that some church folks will raise thousands of dollars to help the poor overseas, but won’t walk across the street to help an immigrant from one of those nations pay their electric bill or help them feed their families?

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again).

I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”

The Founders must be so proud!
Another round of Sunday shows today where a string of Republican senators and representatives claimed to have no knowledge or awareness of any of the worst things Trump said or did this week.

With my mother from the Bronx and my father from Brooklyn, I cab safely say those ICE thugs are in for a few surprises.
i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.
@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

I thought I saw him steal a medal after the team world cup.
FIFA isn't looking to avoid any further embarrassment.
If tRump had Any self-awareness, his response would have been "Thanks for the thought but you're a sports not humanity organisation, so I'll pass"

But as tRump doesN't, of Damn course he'll make sure world sees him being 'awarded' Embarrassing FIFA peace prize🤤

"He's doing everything I want done! Get rid of him!"
Just like Henry VIII, who blamed anything bad on his inner circle. He either had them forcibly removed or cut their heads off.

Trump will never take responsibility for anything, unless it’s a lie or percieved accomplishment he can brag about.
As congressional scrutiny of Pete Hegseth intensifies, Donald Trump is starting to tire of his scandals. Atlantic writers spoke with roughly two dozen officials about the defense secretary’s bad week:

Trump’s not a president, he’s a full-time emergency alert system with a comb-over.

Hey @MarshaBlackburn — if people with drugs thousands of miles away not even coming here are “terrorists” who can be bombed without due process, what does that say about Big Pharma companies you helped shield from accountability as their opioid crisis killed scores of Americans?

We’re talking about a guy who has sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection nearly a dozen times!
Why does @realDonaldTrump lie?

He claims that he is bringing in so much import tax money (tariffs) that income taxes will go away.

You have paid $259B in tariffs, not the trillions Little Donnie claims.

$259B can't replace $2.5T in income taxes.

Even that dolt can do that math.

Who wants to count the number of Special Elections?
According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Can someone please explain this to Hegseth and the Commander in Chief?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If anyone looks at the medal ceremony from the Team World Cup it appeared to me that during the medal ceremony Trump appeared to flinch one of Chelsea's Championship medals.
What a pathetic human he is. And no thanks to the enablers who deepen the sickness.
this shit is just beyond parody, man

His first term was the equivalent of "casing the joint."
In Nov. 2024, Trump Jr. joined Unusual Machines, a drone maker, as an "advisor.” In October, they won a big contract from the Army.

On Dec. 3rd, Vulcan Elements, a start-up, got a $620 million loan from the DOD. You won't guess who invested back in August!
