I'm guessing it might only take a few dozen more horrifically misogynistic, racist or xenophobic Oval Office comments before the NYT drops some hard-hitting headline like:
"Could Trump's Unique Rhetorical Style Begin to Erode Political Decorum?" 🙄🖕

Where's the U.S. outrage towards the brutal cruelty of Israel's government? As always, crickets! 🦗🦗🦗🦗
Israel Punishes a Rape Whistleblower But Embraces the Alleged Rapist Soldiers
An Israeli official is being targeted for revealing soldiers allegedly assaulting a Palestinian detainee – but you wouldn’t know it from the Western media.

It's been almost a decade since she filed suit (eventually dropping it due to death threats to her family), but I wish we could somehow make it mandatory that every MAGA supporter watch Katie Johnson's entire sworn deposition. She was a 13-year-old CHILD when Trump raped her at Epstein's.

Saw the photo on the right from ICE confrontations last month in Chicago and was struck by the parallels to Goya's 3rd of May! More than two hundred years later, and we're still doing the same evil shit. 😑

Let's pump the brakes on giving accolades to these assholes considering they used the same gathering to formally ban all catholic hospitals from providing any gender-affirming care.

FOR The Immigrants, and Against
Chump and ICE.......

Sooo...do you think it will be tomorrow or Friday that Pam Bondi suddenly announces a full-scale DOJ investigation into "damning new evidence that just came to light" regarding Pizzagate, and Hillary Clinton's role in the ritual murder of children? #AnyDistractionInAStorm

Back in the day, you could start at Madoff’s Palm Beach home and drive 4 miles down to Mar-a-Lago. Along the way you could stop at two of the Koch brothers homes plus swing by Jeff Epstein’s place. Oh, and Limbaugh was just up the road!
Instead of Palm Beach it should be called "Asshole's Island"?

The only way we will EVER see genuine accountability on the part of the Democratic party is by financially holding their feet to the fire. Unless and until we get these two installed as minority party leaders, we shouldn't give them a single damn💲!!

(checks notes to see when Schumer finally endorsed Mamdani)........oh, that's right he NEVER FUCKING DID! 😑🙄 Anyone who tries to paint that invertebrate as a "hold out" for voting against this CR has zero clue how party politics works. We absolutely must primary his ass into oblivion.

I'm really confused why everyone's trying to tie the Tenn District 7 special election to the Epstein discharge petition. Massie's one signature short of the needed 218 signatories - that's Rep Grijalva's. Regardless of Tenn7 outcome, once she signs...that's it. There's no vote offsetting involved. 🤔

Unfortunately, the next day ICE showed up, profiled Boots as an illegal, dragged him into a van, and whisked him off to an El Salvadorean prison.

Just to put this 50-year mortgage 'game-changer' into perspective:
The total amount paid on a $350,000 50-year loan at 6.5% interest would be $1,363,855, consisting of the original principal of $350,000 and over $1 million ($1,013,855) in INTEREST over the life of the loan!

We all need to be realistic regarding any Supreme Court tariff win. As soon as the regime loses this case they will:
1. Use Section 122 of the Trade Expansion Act to impose maximum 15% tariffs for up to 150 days
2. Howard Lutnick will then conduct a series of quick bogus ‘investigations’... [1/2]

There are currently ~88 democracies in the world. In 87 of those, AOC would be considered a centrist politician and Mamdani would be considered a center-left politician. Only in America would they be viewed as some sort of amalgam of Lenin, Mao and Che Guevara! 🙄
