2023: "They're taking advantage of a 16-year-old MINOR!! I have a daughter close to that, if you come near her as a 31-year-old man, we're going to have a SERIOUS PROBLEM!!"

2025: "He was not a pedophile; he was into the barely legal type. Like he liked 15-year-old girls... that is what I believe."

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

This is acting like a pure money laundering operation. They reported losing another $54 million last quarter. It has never made money. Investor money is just flying out the back door faster than in comes in to enrich a lot of shysters and grifters.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I hope someone with better photoshop skills that I have will give this image the β€œBernie Mittens” treatment so we can start putting β€œWho-gives-a-F*ck-if-it’s-not-about-Me” Trump in all sorts of crisis scenarios.

Nick Fuentes is simply another fringe MAGA nut you probably never would have heard of if Trump were not elected. Steve Bannon is in the same category.
If we hadn't embraced a corrupt racist & misogynist like #Trump you never would have heard of these people.
Their ideas are not valid.

LA: β€œThey took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

How the world's richest man is boosting the British right How the world's richest man is boosting the British right

It’s already understood but here’s analysis of Elon Musk’s X & its algorithmic bias news.sky.com/story/the-x-... β€œOver half of the political content shown to new X users came from accounts categorised as extreme. Of the content from extreme authors, 72% of posts came from right-leaning accounts.”

Pope Leo calls for β€˜deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. β€œMany people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Trump adviser to Germany’s AfD: β€˜We are in this together’ MAGA social media guru Alex Bruesewitz visited Berlin to make common cause with the far-right Alternative for Germany at a time when the party is seeking allies in the U.S.

Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to US President Donald Trump, told leaders of the far-right Alternative for Germany β€” classified as an extremist party by German authorities β€” that he sees them as β€œbold visionaries” shaping the country’s future.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Trump smeared No Kings protesters as "terrorists." He frames fishermen as "drug smugglers" (and murders them).
The actual enabler of #Hamas terrorists and global drug smugglers was Changpeng Zhao of #Binance -- pardoned by Trump after channeling $2 BILLION to a #Trump Family business.

Hilarious that Santos thinks anyone in this city will regret his departure. It cannot happen soon enough. But he should refund all the money he stole first.
