These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

After several unmarked DHS vehicles had their windows smashed, DHS is now deploying infantry-style escort tactics to walk vehicles into and out of the area.
These CBP officers look absolutely sweaty and miserable as the crowd lets them hear it. It's too hot to wear masks. (sound on for A+ heckling)

Elon Musk can take his one-month free offer of Starlink services (to those affected by the wildfires) and shove it up his ass. Starlink poses a national security threat. Also, Musk said that Canada is not a real country. Screw him!

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity
I think, done properly, they merge into one.
She may not have explicitly wanted this to happen, & not thought it was what she was voting for, but she did, in fact, vote for it.
That's the gap that needs fixing: between what she *thought* she was voting for & what she *actually* was voting for.

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.
Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.
But here is what we do know. (1/7)

The ADL’s cowardice around Musk’s Nazi salute is especially galling to anyone familiar with that institution’s long and brave history of monitoring and analyzing the fascistic threads in US political culture. This book is from 1996, for example.

Nah, I don’t care what the excuses are that start to leak. Especially the Aspergers one… It’s an insult to others on the spectrum with Aspergers
This was intentional by someone who has watched and learned how to perfect it.

The people I went to high school with in the 1980s in Cambria County, PA voted for Trump in part because they fear that undocumented people will harm them. There are virtually no undocumented people in the country. But the priest at our Catholic Church assaulted dozens of our friends. Crickets.

The “conservative movement” that eventually swallowed the old “Party of Lincoln” was turbocharged in 1954-5 by the reaction against Brown v Board, a case that rested upon the application of the 14th Amendment.
there's something so twisted about how Republicans have come to absolutely despise the 14th Amendment, something which was the crowning achievement of their party

It’s insane to me that the orange felon was even able to run for President after being federally charged with interfering in an election whilst being a convicted felon, but it’s more insane that those charges are now being dropped because he “won” an election that he began saying was rigged.
