People we're saying that he should just build an Oval Office in Mar A Lago and laughed at me when I said that the reality was he was gonna wreck the White House and turn it into Mar A Lago if they ever let him back in there

Someone ought to let Sanchez know ICE has a signing balance. Dude’ll fit right in there after Fox drops him.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like:

-masked secret police kidnapping people off the street
-creating concentration camps
-attempting to eradicate trans people
-banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books
-murdering fishermen in open waters

The amazing thing about Trump is that he says right into the camera on the White House lawn while stone cold sober the sort of stuff Nixon would only scream in solitude at the White House fireplace after a bottle and a half of whiskey.

State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.

β€˜When you are in, you can’t get out.’ Women describe how Jeffrey Epstein controlled them For two decades, Jeffrey Epstein built a sex trafficking enterprise that reached across state borders and spanned the globe. Using an almost bottomless quarry of wealth and connections, he not only em...

Jeffrey Epstein had doctors prescribe birth control and sedatives to his victims. They also screened his victims for STDs.

He had dentists work on their teeth.

I’d like to know who these people are and why they have been protected.

It's hard to take any Democrat that talks about "accountability" seriously after an insurrection, classified document theft and supreme court justices taking bribes went unpunished the last time they had power.

I am awfully glad that those in the French resistance didn’t take time for β€œself-care” when the N@zis occupied their country.

If she would postpone her vacation if DC were slammed by a natural disaster, she should be postponing it when her city is being occupied by a hostile force.

You can hardly expect swing voters to believe this is a crisis (which it is) when the mayor of an occupied city takes her vacation just like normal. FFS.

The concentration of finite reporting resources on a single story that could be covered by the AP alone is a waste when we’re in the midst of an administrative coup they insist on both-siding.

the thing to take from Cuomoβ€”a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albanyβ€”having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.

Very, very few are doing OK. McClatchy papers near death, and many small and regional papers already gone.

Had a client who actually had been a rodeo queen. Big hair, lots of makeup.

Had to get help from a stylist to tone it all down for a national market, to enhance her beauty instead of overwhelming it.

The puppy-killer went in a different direction, LOL.
