Republicans built a system in which a person who is legally carrying a gun is not considered a threat to public safety. For them to now claim that a person doing exactly that is a domestic terrorist is the height of hypocrisy. They are claiming a license to kill.

A government that made an honest mistake and killed someone would admit it.
A government that wanted to murder its political enemies would lie about it.

"Sedacious" 🤣🤣🤣

The image of bloated Trump pawing the belly dancer is absolutely sickening.

I am always impressed by their command of the language. ✍🏻

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

I'm old enough to remember when you couldn't have a black quarterback. 🙄

Kevin McCarthy is probably somewhere feeling completely vindicated right now over this Gaetz stuff lololol

Trump Companies Accused of Tax Evasion in Panama In the latest chapter in ongoing litigation, the private equity fund that bought what used to be called the Trump Ocean Club claims the Trump entities pocketed money that should have gone to the Panam...

What could Trump have against Panama?

Oh.

She talks with her mouth full. 🙄

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

The art of the deal:

1. Make wild demands

2. Get nothing

3. Declare victory

Maybe he can get one of those black jobs!

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

"Release the hounds!"

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:

Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984

Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.

Barron was born in March 2006

Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.

Trump’s entire family would be deported.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.

This is not a hot take.

It's just plain common sense.

Jeffries: "We've seen repeatedly amongst my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues that they say one thing to the American people before the election and then do something different after the election. House Republicans said they were gonna protect Social Security and Medicare ... "

I fired up the app this morning, and read several posts, and was surprised by two things. (1) They were good news and positive in tone, and (2) neither was from Elon Musk.

This puzzled me at first, until I realized I had opened the Blue sky app, not X. 🤣👍🏻

Keep up the good work, folks! ❤️

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

A Third World War? Let's help those who are holding it back

What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks

The Strongman Fantasy (updated 11/24) And dictatorship in real life

Quite a few Americans like the idea of strongman rule. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won't.

Mostly here to lurk.

As the great Yogi Berra said, "You can observe a lot just by watching."

Hopefully very few Johnny Somalia types. 🤬

SK dropping the hammer on him, though. 👨🏻‍⚖️🇰🇷🔨

Going over to X now feels like having to check the mold infestation in your basement.
