Trump, amid Epstein furor, directs Bondi to investigate Democrats β€œSome Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish,” Trump wrote in another Truth Social post Friday.

β€œTrump directed the Department of Justice to pay special attention to figures like Larry Summers and Joe Biden, on the grounds they had refused to answer questions about Epstein. By contrast, he described former President Bill Clinton as β€˜extremely forthcoming.’”

Trump called Biden β€œsleepy,” because Trump is an old man who struggles to stay awake.

Trump called Hillary β€œcrooked,” because Trump is incredibly crooked.

Trump called Ted Cruz β€œlyin’” because Trump is a serial liar.

We’re a decade into this. How do people still not get it?

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

i think the president has an inherent inability to conceptualize an organization larger than the Trump Organization, and so does not value the existence of a bureaucracy. in fact he cannot imagine that any such thing exists. this is why the government is now run by one hundred guys who you can name.

At some point someone should probably take note that the US Department of Homeland Security has started openly calling for violence every few days

harry reid straight up said "mitt romney cheats on his taxes and i can prove it," and he didn't cheat, and he couldn't prove it, and it was a story for almost a month, and the democrats somehow did not learn that they can just say "donald trump is a pedophile"

A mutual on the other site just pointed out something re: criticism of No Kings/50501 from the left, and that it's most of them simply do not understand that Democratic party leadership and the base Democratic voters are not remotely the same thing

Resistance Is Cringe But it’s also effective.

After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the β€œcrisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.
