Rep Elise Stefanik: It's Unthinkable A Jihadist Communist Could Become NYC Mayor "It's really unthinkable that a little over 20 years since 9/12 you could have a pro Hamas, jihadist, full-blown communist who wants to defund the police as mayor of the greatest city in the world."

Don't forget Stefanik.

As one of her constituents, I can confirm that she has no class.

I pledge to read your comments & articles at least twice before I lose my mind. Maybe you should consider a less controversial topic to write about. Maybe one on the change from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time? For the record though, I do not see myself as a "chipper and virtuous lark". 😉

Yes, it was, but the narrative from mainstream media barely acknowledged that.

Good news does not garner headlines.

Finally.

Putting "credit" to where "credit" is due.

US Border Patrol has been the main law enforcement agency responsible for abuse.

Do not ignore the influence of their "commander" Gregory Bovino and his lust for violence

This is not new...look back to 2003.

You described what I've been feeling for months now, but could not find the words to do so.

"Delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle"

How and why are there so many that embrace such a dark vision?

It's just beyond my comprehension.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

• "We have no inflation." Inflation is at 3%. • "It's at 2%. It's-- it's the perfect inflation." Inflation is at 3%. • "Right now [grocery prices are] going down." Grocery prices are up 1.4% since Trump came to office. • "A year ago, we were a dead country." Not only did the US have the fastest-growing economy in the G7 in both 2023 and 2024, but the Economist magazine called it "the envy of the world." • "11,888 murderers were let into our country." Not only is this number inaccurate, but many of the non-citizens convicted of homicide either here or abroad came in during Trump's first term. • "Washington, DC, was... almost like a crime capital of the world." In 2023, per PolitiFact, "at least 49 other cities in the world had higher homicide rates. • "[Biden] hardly went anywhere. Guy couldn't leave his bedroom." Not only did Joe Biden visit roughly as many countries in his term of office as Trump did in his first term, but Biden was the first US president to visit an active warzone - Ukraine - not under the control of US forces. • "I made Middle East peace. For 3,000 years, they couldn't do it." There is no peace in Palestine, no peace deal in place, and it isn't a 3,000-year-old conflict. • "Communist, not socialist. Communist. He's far worse than a socialist." Zohran Mamdani is not a communist. • "I can't give them $1.5 trillion so that they can give welfare to people that came into our country illegally." The Trump/GOP claim that Democrats want to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants has been repeatedly debunked. • "They emptied their mental institutions and their insane asylums-- into the United States of America." Asylum seekers don't come from "insane asylums." Obviously. • "One thing I can tell you, the 2020 election was rigged." It wasn't. The courts agreed. • "And a lotta people say when it's rigged you're allowed to do it again." A lot of people don't say this. The US Constitution doesn't, for sure.

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going.

Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Trump wants to resume nuclear testing. He orders a carrier group off the coast of Venezuela while extrajudicially blowing up small boats he believes are causing thousands of deaths a day. Today he warns Nigeria about a possible attack that will be "sweet". He is not sane.

Opinion | In Trump’s America, Are We Losing Our Democracy? Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social discussed & mentioned this NY Times piece. As for me, this reflects your belief (and which I agree with) that, yes, Trump is a fascist, but America is not yet there. Excellent segment in her second hour, and I wished you were there too.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Can anyone of sane mind expect anything but from this second serving of Trump & Co, by a mute, compliant, Useless Republican controlled Congress, and Trump loyalists sitting on the Supreme Court?

Every single American who sat out the 2024 election or refused to vote for a Black woman owns this.

@schumer.senate.gov needs to resign, at least from "leader". His "leadership" has been a failure. New York needs a fresh face who will stand up and take a stand.

All he had to do was say "yes, I will" or "no, I will not".

Pathetic.

Think ICE Is Bad Now? Today the Border Patrol Is Taking It Over How Gregory Bovino Proudly Became Trump’s #1 Immigration Stormtrooper

Much of ICE's national leadership was purged overnight, to be replaced with Border Patrol agents in the mold of its ultra-aggressive field commander Gregory Bovino. It might be the scariest development yet in the Trump admin's war on America. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/think-ice-...

Almost every single post out there has been blaming "ICE", when it's been more than obvious that Border Patrol Agents, under the "command" of Bovino who are the ones committing the most egregious and disturbing acts of violence against others.
One only has to look at their vests & uniforms.

Johnson is an example of the sick and twisted ideology of the Trump Administration.

If you do not "comply", then we will have you suffer the consequences.

@kristenwelker.bsky.social is one of the worst "interviewers". She does more "hmms" and "umms" than challenging the one she is interviewing with facts.

Asbestos is not an issue unless disturbed...

But, then again, maybe "disturbed" describes this Trump Administration in one word?

I just want to know when did the terms "right" and "left" became as a descriptive to the ideologies of political parties?

Seems to me, especially today, should be replaced with "exclusion" and "inclusion" or maybe "hate" and "empathy"?

They are pathetic and weak.

Early voting begins tomorrow in NY.
I put out two signs today to remind people to
"Protect Democracy" and "VOTE"

After watching the made for TV movie in 1983, "The Day After" and living through the days of "duck and cover" under wooden desks or huddling on staircases in school, should I expect another round of sleepless nights as I did in '83?

I secured a 13% mortgage in 1993, and bank CDs were averaging 8%

Good times?🤷‍♀️

Everyone keeps blaming "ICE" agents. By looking at their vests, it seems to me that the majority are Border Patrol Agents under the command of Greg Bovino. It's troubling that he has deployed BORTAC and SRT. In "normal" times these elite teams would be used to track and capture the most dangerous.

A Regal Lily visit...

Autopengate?

Trump is a melanoma.
A cancerous growth destroying its host when left unchecked.

They make $175K, with taxpayer subsidized premium health care, child care, security, cafeteria, housing, travel, a pension after only five years of "service", etc.

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.
