It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government

Can you imagine if the Times and Post and CNN reacted to every time DHS explicitly endorsed neo-Nazism with the same kind of screaming headlines that they did every time Biden stumbled over a world leader’s name?

In another era, the political media would be shoveling dirt onto Trump's political grave as a hopeless lame duck and shifting their focus to the 2028 Presidential race. But in this era they'll keep rooting for the Reichstag Fire or other event to keep pretending he's popular

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Nike co-founder Phil Knight makes record-setting donation to help elect Republicans It is the single largest donation Knight has made to an Oregon candidate or political action committee.

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Someday you, too, could have the moral fortitude to look upon a years-long rape circus organized by the nation's most powerful elites and declare, "The people upset about this are speaking about it the wrong way."

The left has a problem with political violence. Anyway, here’s the President of the United States saying his political opponents should be executed.

Any President who calls for the opposition party to be hanged should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

America is totally normal right now, you guys, totally fine, our Kid-Toucher President is ReTruthing posts on his own social media website where he by proxy suggests his political opposition be executed probably because they're trying to find out just how many kids President Kid-Toucher touched

if trump is as susceptible as people say (he is) then for one brief shining moment immediately after this meeting concludes and before he talks to anyone else donald trump will be a communist too

Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

Every time I have to purchase a single license of a digital audiobook that a patron has requested that has a 2 year license - aka library rental period - that costs over $100 I WANT TO COMMIT A MURDER. The system is so flawed.

It is not normal to be best friends with a pedophile for decades unless you are getting something out of that relationship.

And one thing everyone knows about Donald Trump is that he is transactional.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
