The only shocking thing about this pathetic man’s story is that KH’s team gave a shit about Gaza AND that they willing to actual offend someone who totally deserves it (instead of, you know, her constituents).
In his new memoir, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania suggests that when Kamala Harris’s team vetted him to be her running mate in 2024, aides focused on Israel to an extent he found offensive.

I sincerely don’t get why people are taking DT’s newest delulu tale seriously like this. A) he does not care about peace, obviously; B) his interest in Greenland has nothing to do with peace; & C) he’d be doing this with the “prestigious” (if you ignore the many a monster who has won it) prize, too.
The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

just increasingly obvious that everything online Dems got excited about in casting Newsom as a “fighter” was simply the skilled efforts of a comms team who knows exactly what online Dems will fall for, while the man himself has a spine made of absolute tapioca pudding
I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.

Child abuse is a central plank in the conservative platform, because physical mastery of the weak is how they establish dominance, their only value. It's not just something a lot of conservatives do, it is part of being a conservative.

A court document "says the ICE agent allegedly whipped his sons with a belt, made homophobic slurs and racist remarks about Black and Latino people and brought a gun to a youth sports game."

It has 11 active judges; 10 appointed by Republican presidents (including four by Trump). And the one senior judge still hearing cases is also a Republican appointee.
