This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

So who’s going to be the new leader of the free world? I think the current U.S. president lost that title today.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

I just listened to Rick Scott say on CNN multiple times that we have to stop our woke military. What makes the military woke and why is it bad?

So, if Hunter Biden had beaten our Capitol police with their own shields, American flags and fire extinguishers during a deadly attack on our Capitol designed to overturn the results of a legitimate presidential election… he would deserve a pardon?

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

Exactly! Another example where we expect Trump to do immoral and illegal things so we don’t react, but Biden tries to save his son from Trump coming to get him in the future is a step too far.
Rep. Dan Goldman: "I find it pretty ironic and hypocritical that so many Republicans have seemed to find the rule of law when it comes to Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter, and are happily ignorant of the rule of law when it comes to Donald Trump and everything he has done."

We don’t know what side of the aisle this comes from?!
CNN's Dana Bash on the neo-Nazis marching in Columbus: "We don‘t know what side of the aisle this comes from. I mean, typically, neo-Nazis are from the far right. You had protests from the far left at your house as a Jewish member."

Trump is already putting our military and our national security at risk.
Sherrill: I have so many friends in the military now who are talking about whether or not they retire. They’ve been through one Trump presidency. Do they stay in when he’s saying he is going to court-martial admirals and generals because I think he wants to fill the ranks with loyalists?

So the House would release the Ethics report on Gaetz if he was still a Member, but since he’s been nominated to be the chief law enforcement officer for the US with control of every federal law enforcement agency, investigation, and case, they will hide the report. Makes sense.
