To really understand the hardcore Trumpers, you need to understand Christian cults. This podcast is very illuminating.

Cancelled WaPo a long while back. Ownership by a right-wing extremist is bad for business.

The reason Republican 'Mike Johnson Grindr' is trending on social media explained Rumors are currently spreading like wildfire about Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and the gay hookup app, but is there any truth to them?

Coincidence? I think not.

Thank you to these brave patriots who saved this man’s life. The Republicant government is killing Americans and treating our cities like the Iraq invasions - illegal, brutal, and based on insidious lies.

Republicants are the most shameful stain in American history.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is trying to warn us about something. Are we listening? Jackson enters her fourth year on the supreme court on Monday. As its fiercest liberal voice wary of Trump’s growing power, she faces an intense battle ahead

Justice Jackson has more judicial intellect than the six conservatives put together. Amy is merely a stooge hack by comparison.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Putin ally issues 'premonition of civil war' warning to US on 4th of July Dmitry Medvedev compared the Russia-Ukraine conflict to the American Civil War and likened Vladimir Putin to Abraham Lincoln.

This is #WAR against America. Trump & many #Republicans are in fact foreign backed agents who have declared war on America. From the eight who visited Putin on July 4th, 2018, to Rand Paul delivering #Trump letter to #Putin, to Trump’s Alaska fiasco, they are working with Russia to destroy America.

Yet no one stopped Trump. There were zero consequences for him, nor his insane supporters. This country should be ashamed of the harm inflicted on the red of the world citizens.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Rapists obviously do not have honest, truthful inner dialogues nor outward behaviors.

Kavanaugh only squawks out β€œI like beer” with glossy eyes, brimming with tiger tears, when he feels vulnerable.

When others are vulnerable, Kavanaugh feels nothing but distain, then goes in for the kill.

THE PURGE

Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months.

Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025.

Soyboy farmers should pick themselves up by their bootstraps like the rest of us. At least we didn’t vote for Fat Satan three times.
