With Trump, you get candidates who admire Nazis
A vile post from a GOP candidate for governor in California tells us a lot about the party

"Iβm talking instead about what and when the future president of the United States knew about Epsteinβs pedophilia when they were friends. This strikes me as nearly as important as determining whether Trump had sex with underage girls β children β procured by Epstein."

Donald Drumpf hates this name change
Maybe the NFL's Commanders should become the Washington Epsteins?
"In his desperation to distract us all from the Epstein files, our stable genius is trotting out every lame idea he and his bumbling advisers can come up with, including threatening to block a new stadium deal for Washingtonβs NFL team unless it reverts to its old name, the Redskins."

Finally, a few probably intemperate words for those who comment without reading. That's lazy and arrogant and, well, Trumpy. Go away. You contribute nothing to the effort to get rid of the man. (4)

AI-generated image shows Trump on Epstein's jet with underage girls
Actor Mark Ruffallo apologized for sharing the fake photo in January 2024.
One of many false photos and memes circulating. Trump is disgusting, and I want him out of the White House. But spreading this BS is as useful as QAnon prattling on about Democrats trafficking kids from the basement of a pizza parlor in DC that doesn't even have basement.
Just stop.

If you're here, you probably want to get rid of Trump as much as I do. But please do not share photos or text alleging he committed crimes without looking up the claim on Snopes or another fact-checking site. Spreading falsehoods doesn't help the cause -- it hurts it.
