Pete Buttigieg has such an easy way of getting to the truth of the matter. It’s so refreshing to listen to someone who isn’t crazy or stupid.

Great photo. His ear looks totally healed. Or was it the other one? I’ve lost track of all the lies and tricks that he’s pulled. Was the guy that shot him ever indicted and tried? I’m totally confused….

It’s human nature to draw and quarter people for less than child molestation. Just a thought…

Not to detract from the current calls for accountability for those responsible for the Epstein horrors, but…is anyone interested in what the fuck their girls parents were doing? Did they I have no idea what was going on? Did some figure it out and keep quiet? I hope someone is looking here.

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

Anything to defer attention from the Epstein file disaster. I get it, but this is absolute bullshit, bordering on treason. I hope O’Bama sues the pants off of these losers. This is unbelievable even for Trump and his MAGA misfits.

Any politician who has never flown on the world’s most famous pedophile’s jet should call for a bipartisan committee to investigate β€” and then release β€” the Epstein files.

What a way to reach across the aisle.

Americans have been duped.

Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy.

That’s how you make America great.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

Yep! And this also allows Texas to escape scrutiny as well.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane β€œAlligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

I think that his job is no longer to represent his constituents, but rather to prop up the felon’s very fragile ego and to keep himself in the good graces of the Executive Branch and their thugs. A great example of weakness rising in times like these. Let’s call cowards out!

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

Hard to believe Noem would pass a golden cosplay opportunity like this one up. It seems perfect for her.

Don’t call it "Alligator Alcatraz".

Call it a concentration camp, because that is what it is.

People that call him "Mr President" make me cringe. That SOB incited a mob and championed an insurrection. He deserves zero respect.
