He's legit dumb as a rock. That thing where he accused Mark Kelly of having his military uniform on wrong because he didn't realize that the image was reversed is astonishing for someone who has a career in media!

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The Trump-Putin deal has more about building AI data centers in both Ukraine and Russia than it does about military positions to deter Russia from attacking again later.

Jeffries: "What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune had the decency to distance himself from Trump's remarks. But Mike Johnson couldn't say a thing."

JD Vance was hand selected by Jeffrey Epstein's collaborator Peter Thiel, he's a replacement part incase Donald Trump doesn't make it his full term. Not a real politician or serious person, just a stand in for a South African billionaire and an Israeli-Russian pedo network.

Seth Moulton: "There are a lot of Republicans who proclaim to be America First, who say that we shouldn't get involved in needless wars overseas—like Donald Trump. And yet they are completely acquiescing to this war of choice that Trump seems to want to start with Venezuela."

This is George Washington’s copy of the Constitution. You can see—faintly—in the margin, he was carefully noting which parts of the Constitution were “President powers.”

BREAKING: Judge Cobb rules that the Pentagon's National Guard deployment into D.C. was illegal.

However, she has stayed the effect of her order until Dec. 11 to prevent disorder while the matter is under appeal.

This is the thing. We can look at him saying this thing and say “oh he says shit like that all the time and nobody is going to act on it so it’s not a big deal” and that pose in itself is a big deal because it reflects that we have become inured to this, and that his underlings routinely ignore him!
The fairly ho-hum coverage of Trump calling for Democrats to be executed is yet another example of how him saying something outreageous is not taken seriously because he *always* says something outrageous.
It's just such a classic case of media grading Trump on a curve. "Oh, it's fine, that's just Uncle Trump posting through it!"

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Last month it was the Young Republicans praising Hitler. Last week it was Fuentes & Carlson criticizing "Jewry". This week, they're saying swastikas and nooses aren't hate speech. The rot is party-wide. www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

1) @washingtonpost.com reported Thursday on a controversial policy downgrading how nooses and swastikas are labeled in the Coast Guard.

2) Admin officials attacked The Post, falsely alleging the reporting of "fake crap."

3) The CG said it would review policy language.

4) The CG reversed course.

To recap: My law firm represented Black and Latino voters in striking down Texas' new congressional map.

The dissenting opinion mentions George Soros 17 times and me and my law firm 3 times (all about how connected to Soros I allegedly am). I have never seen anything like it.
In a remarkable and deeply unconventional dissent, U.S. Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith unleashed a blistering and bizarre attack on his fellow judges after a federal court struck down Texas’ unconstitutional racial gerrymander. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
