If a woman wearing a shirt that says ā€œRelease The Epstein Filesā€ makes you angry enough to beat the shit out of her.. we are going to assume you’re a fucking pedophile.

It's stunning when you realize exactly how many things trump f*cked up in less than 2 years. HILARIOUS when a song nails it perfectly. THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

Yes, this happened to me when Biden was president. I sent my grandson to school day and he came back a girl—in a burka. His dad and I still get angry just thinking about it.
Linda McMahon: "After the Biden administration allowed schools to secretly transition students without parents' knowledge, President Trump is defending parental rights like never before"

Just for anyone not keeping track, we are now in the "we actually love North Korea, and we shit on American soldiers on the USS Lincoln" phase of MAGA.

Why is the U.S. giving Israel $3 billion a year for ā€œinfrastructure,ā€ when remote locations on the Navajo Nation reservation lack basic running water and electricity?

And MAGA replied, ā€œPlease sir, feed us more bullshit. We can never get enough of your completely laughable, embarrassing, and indigestible bullshit. You make the best bullshit ever!ā€

One day after Democrats forced a rapist out of a major Senate race, Republicans officially named a major airport after one.

Come on McDonald’s. A little extra gristle in a Big Mac oughta do it. End this.
Trump: Iran just called. They want to make a deal very badly. Reporter: If they want to make a deal, why did they attack commercial vessels? Trump: Because… they’re sort of crazy. But they want to make a deal badly.

The most disturbing thing about the Platner situation is that Donald Trump is a rapist.

How do you fuck up the 250th this badly? It’s such an easy win. An average Summer day on the Mall is a hundred times more full. You have to work to make it this empty. This regime is such a bizarre tragicomedy.

James Robison What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it. ā€œSo curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ā€˜most wealthy person in the world.ā€™ā€

So refreshing to hear a Democrat making the fight against corruption the centerpiece of his campaign for office. I’ve been saying for a while that Dems need to be laser-focused on the corruption issue, an issue which unites almost all Americans.
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.

Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught. A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses. 1. I have the right to do it. 2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump. 3. People don’t care. That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now. Please stand up and prove him wrong.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence has never even received an intelligence briefing before this Thursday. For context, the White House janitorial staff held a higher security clearance than the new Intelligence Director. This is DANGEROUS.

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal. Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, ā€œThe largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.ā€ A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan. All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
