AOC said it best. These guys aren't even smart. They aren't super villains. They just get on the mic and lie and bank on a segment of the population being racist and xenophobic enough to not even attempt to question the lies
Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who would love to see American reporters take notes from this Venezuelan reporter, José María del Pino, who HUMILIATED Stephen Miller with his calm, steady persistent questions. Take notes, media.🔥

The UK Right have split into three parties that hate each other even more than they collectively hate the EU. Remarkable achievement.

Charlie Kirk was murdered by a Mormon kid who grew up in a gun loving Republican family and was radicalized by a podcaster even farther to the right. Facts matter.
You guys killed Charlie Kirk and celebrated his assassination. Spare me.

There's somehow enough funding to build his ballroom and statues, arches, monuments drenched in gold, but not enough to run the FAA. America, you're being scammed by this administration.

Still no comment from Trump about the nationwide ground stop. But he is ranting about a golf course.

🇺🇸Trump: "İran çok yakında yenilecek." 🇺🇸Muhabir: "Zaten 38 kez İran'ı yendiğinizi ilan ettiniz mi?"🔥 🇺🇸Trump: "Bir sonraki soru." 🇺🇸Gazeteci: "Yani Amerikan halkına İran savaşınızın bittiği konusunda yalan söylediniz mi?." 🔥👏 🇺🇸Trump: "Susun.

Looks like Elon Musk is throttling starlink again during peace talks. He’s doing that to pressure Ukraine to surrender. Literally taking sides with russia.

Jan 11, 2023, when the FAA grounded all airplanes for 90 minutes for the second time in history, this is what Trump posted. He railed on our very serious American problems and compared our country to a Third World nation. Yesterday under his own administration, his FAA grounded all airplanes for over four hours and he didn’t post anything on TruthSocial, did not address the nation while many people were freaking out, and he didn’t even show up at the press conference. He’s been President for two years with full Republican control of the house and the Senate. There are literally no excuses left. But but but, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon!

Where did the money go, Sean?
Um… Joe Biden’s infrastructure law set aside $25 BILLION for airports and air traffic control. Now we have a former REALITY TV STAR running the Department of Transportation, begging for another $30 BILLION while planes sit grounded. Here's a crazy idea: Before demanding another $30 BILLION, how about explaining where the hell the original $25 BILLION went? And considering this administration's obsession with declaring everything Biden did a failure, I'd especially like to know what's been spent, what's left, and whether any projects were sidelined. Where the HELL is the press? Why isn't anyone demanding answers? 🤷‍♂️🙄

What Trump has done vis-à-vis Ukraine, our allies, and his own country is unacceptable. You don’t act like that if you’re an American president. Every move he made before the election was counter to any proper move you’d make if you were actually trying to support Republicans, and he was openly cuddling up to the Russians. He brought them to the G20 in the middle of all this. Americans are smart enough to know how much damage Russia has done globally, to American prestige, to American lives around the world. And this man is an ass-kisser of Vladimir Putin. No American president sitting on the largest military and the strongest economy in the world would genuflect to a country with an economy smaller than Italy’s. Unless he’s compromised!! What would be even worse is if he wasn’t compromised.

This feels very Nicolae Ceaușescu
Трампа освистали в Луизиане - так освистали, что он не слышал собственного голоса. И это - начало грандиозного падения кремлевского агента. Его ненавидят. Его не хотят видеть и слушать. А тут еще сдох его гэбэшный куратор Дарчиев. Внезапно сдох. Январь близок.

Mom bleeds to death if the fallopian tube ruptures. Imagine using scripture to justify killing women for a 100% unviable group of cells.

And North Korean troops in Ukraine simply got lost on their way home?
Rubio: North Korea is a governed by a guy who is not interested in conquering in Japan. He just wants to survive. I’m not excusing the things that he’s done. I’m just saying. He's not looking to invade Japan or China or whatever

🇺🇸Джим Макговерн - член Палаты Представителей от штата Массачусетс говорит это вслух: 🤡«Трамп сегодня наговорил кучу безумной чуши. Пора забрать ключи у дедушки. Похоже, он уже не в себе. Наш президент тупой как пробка. Коррумпированный до чёртиков. А теперь ещё и деменция в списке.»🤪
