The damage Manchin did to the US and the democratic party cannot be overstated. He was always there, joined by his grifter gal pal Sinema, to toss a monkey wrench into any legislation with even a wiff of progress.
🤔You mean the *centrist* Dem responsible for killing good bills had ties to Epstein? Imagine that

People have been sent or gone to Greenland to fuck with them.

They tried to raise a US flag outside their culture centre but were stopped.

This behavior is just embarrassing and if you’re American you should oppose this.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.

Gregory "1/3 Reich" Bovino demoted, shut out of his social media account; Miller admits possible procedural error; Noem on thin 'ice'; anger growing in NRA and other gun rights groups as it turns out Republicans are the ones who want to take away our guns.

IT'S MILLER TIME!

ICE is now in Maine, and they proceeded to once again piss off local law enforcement.
He yells, “I’m a corrections officer”, but ICE didn’t give a sh*t.

MAINE: 7 ICE agents against one “squeaky clean” corrections recruit.

The sheriff said, “They all took off leaving his car with the windows down, the lights on, unsecured and unoccupied. Folks, that’s bush league policing.”

Watching Sven lastnight, saw that Bob Burns has past away. Friend of Paul Blaisdell, who often worked with him, Bob was a notable collector of horror and scifi memorabilia. He was one of the early fans of Halloween who transform their homes into haunted houses.

It’s actually useful that they’re lying so brazenly about Alex Pretti’s killing because it shows how badly they were also lying about Renee Good, as most of us already knew.

Beck was the gateway drug for many now trapped in the MAGAverse. I had a formerly dear friend who one day started parroting Beck's nonsense. He was glued to his show. Now he is completely brainwashed. Before his mother passed away, she came to me pleading and asked "What's happened to my son?"
"Daddy is definitely home. Donald Trump is the Advocate for America I have waited for my entire life. He makes Reagan look a bit wishy-washy. What he said in Davos today was the most powerful speech perhaps ever given by a president to the world."

Great article. I certainly have met my share of so-called MAGA Trek fans who have not absorbed one lesson from it.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
