They are going full bore on the “victims are all manipulative liars” strategy, but they know saying outright would make them look very bad indeed.
Sometimes you can find exact quotation from the screed written by Alan Dershowitz about claims made against him.

This was intentional, not an oversight. Pam Bondi told everyone she spoke to in DoJ and the White House that she was going to use the files to punish the young women who mentioned Trump.

Partisan rigging of North Carolina's state legislature is so pervasive that even when a majority of residents statewide voted for Democrats in the 2024 elections, Republicans still held on to 2/3rds of seats in the NC State Senate, and are just 1 seat shy of 2/3rds in the State House.

There’s a job going now at the Vatican Eoin

I desperately need the memish trifecta of Parker Posey as Victoria on White Lotus reacting to hearing that a National Security Signal group chat leaked that House leader Mike Johnson was caught using Grindr

For sure. Also millions of dollars in lawsuits, none of which is appropriated. Last Trump administration DoJ had to fold on some suits and pay out because they couldn’t find anyone to defend the govt’s position. They lost the highest percentage of suits defended by DoJ in history.

What a bitchy Queen

Yeah the record on actual investment by their patrons — as opposed to campaign rhetoric —is clear. Like they brought back coal mining? Musk wants to sell the US to China. Period.

Absolutely. And it’s not, as everyone says, that they don’t want White people embarrassed by the shameful history of slavery and Jim Crow. They don’t want Black kids to learn about resistance and victories

Compare the GOP pols’ comments on Musk to those on Trump since Jan 20. It’s clear who
they’re terrified of. It’s not just losing their positions. It’s their savings, their families’ lives.

The last time Trump released classified information, American agents disappeared

I just don’t get how people don’t see they’re letting these crooks walk all over them. Even the simplest means of fighting back— of just interfering — aren’t taken

Vance tells Musk that DOGE staffer who resigned after posting racist tweets should be rehired Marko Elez was on the DOGE team formed by Elon Musk and tasked by President Donald Trump with cutting federal spending and reducing the government workforce.

Which posts do you “disagree” with —

“Normalize Indian hate,”

“I was racist before it was cool,”

“I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth,”

or “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity”?

No. But after cutting, or after fixing tomato salad, they’ll do better refrigerated.

Absolutely. It makes me crazy, and in this respect the press and the party are one: “but the voters said …!”

Always. Always had help when I called the IRS, too.

Exactly. What’s he going to do—beat up a senator? Some people need to be dragged screaming from the pursuit of their duties for the press and public to get a clue what’s happening

NYT: define “some”

I’ve had some bad falls on stairs in my time. Humiliating and physically painful experience.
Also, according to some video I’ve just seen, hilarious.

Especially if you were a gazillionaire with more economic interest in the future of China than that of the US, or a morally and mentally deficient bogus would-be billionaire slavering over the Chinese economic miracle for decades.

You know, if you wanted to cede global influence entirely to China while distracting the American public, the press, and the few authentic conservatives still standing, you’d probably do what’s happening now.

What’s that word for ignoring all legal processes and boundaries on some pretext of defending social order so you can destroy people and communities in order to recover your absolute power?
Oh yeah. A lynch mob.

There’s no analysis of DEI, there’s no reference to any of these BS complaints. Theyre bit even trying to identify “DEIA jobs.” They’re just firing women and black people. And as cruelly as possible. It’s partly the revenge of the ignorant and unqualified upon the knowledgeable and experienced.

WTF??!!!

100% and Hilary Clinton called it years ago. He’s so easily manipulated
