My question here: “Trump is a self-confessed predator, an adjudicated rapist, more than two dozen women have accused him of sexual assault. Does it make any logical sense he had nothing to do with or know about Epstein’s sex trafficking or pedophilia?”

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

The Hate America Rally already happened, Mike Johnson. It was held on January 6, 2021, and was orchestrated by your boss.
On October 18, patriots across America will honor our commitment to keep America from becoming the dystopic jackboot dictatorship you fascist bootlickers dream of and drool for.

Hey JD Vance.👋 You need to understand something. Physicians are never going to refuse emergency care to someone in an Emergency Department. No matter what you say behind that big boy podium.
We’re not like you.
We wake up every day to help people.

REPORTER: Yesterday you said you were not sure who ordered the munitions ordered to Ukraine. Have you figured it out?
TRUMP: I haven't though about it

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN:
"We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

Trump's executive order to gut funding for public media (including NPR and PBS) will cut off news sources for millions. That’s exactly what he wants: to exert even more control over the information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all.
It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

BlueSky, if you want to DO something, I have two ideas:
1. The fastest way to get rid of Musk is to turn Trump against him. We need one million USPS letters sent to the White House addressed to "President Musk" and thanking him for the amazing job he's doing. Who's gonna coordinate?

Three morals to the TikTok story so far. First, everything involving Trump 2.0 will be part of a giant con. Second, everything involving Trump 2.0 will be a grift: "What do you need; what's in it for me?" Third - everything BESIDES the con and the grift, including national security - is irrelevant.
