‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat - POLITICO
Notice how It’s always the fat, ugly asshats who would piss themselves in a fight that talk this way? But that’s why they adore Trump—he is one of them.

Ran my first marathon yesterday in Portland, OR. Beautiful day with cheering crowds and music. Nary a war zone in sight. It’s almost like Trump is full of shit…

I genuinely thought this was a condemnation of high-fructose corn syrup for like two minutes.

My thoughts when hearing Hegseth live was that there are so many POC and women that serve. Including high ranking Generals and Admirals. How humiliating to sit through that and hear that you aren’t worthy or that you skipped the line because of your skin color.

It really cements Charlie Kirk’s reputation as a hero of free speech when his followers threaten, doxx, and get people fired for not “mourning properly.”
(Actually, it underlines what a scam that “free speech” routine was in the first place.)

Charlie Kirk's allies warn Americans: Mourn him properly or else
After the fatal shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, U.S. Republicans have a warning for Americans: Mourn him respectfully or suffer the consequences.

Someone recently said to me that things will get worse before they get better, but that is not true. There is no guarantee that anything gets better. Things can just continue getting worse and worse.
I can't stop thinking about that today.

This whole regime is a house of cards propped up by lies. The economy will muddle on for a while longer, but eventually the chickens will come to roost. No way I'm buying into the domestic stock market at this moment.
There's no way out of this without a new, more thorough and complete, Reconstruction.
Trump's cratering continues. This is a good example of why authoritarian/autocratic rulers fail. They can't accept new info and adapt, because everything must always confirm their sublime world historical greatness without exception, and anyone producing contrary info is purged

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda.

Just going to re-up this one for no particular reasons
No, really. People really wrote galactically stupid things like “Joe Biden holds a Trump rally” and called you a moron for worrying about threats to American democracy and suggested it was Joe who’d gone too far for saying “semi-fascism.” That really happened. You didn’t dream them in your idiocy.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless
