But there’s so much smoke (claims of “illegals” voting), there must be fire (actual incidents of illegal voting by non-citizens) somewhere, right? Says the folks operating the smoke machines.
Speaker Mike Johnson: "We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections. But it's not been something that's easily provable. We don't have that number."

Sounds legit. www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

The biggest challenge in 2024 is to get enough people to actually listen to what Trump and those around him are openly, consistently, and explicitly promising to do once they get back to power.

It is utterly deranged, and discounting it as just rhetoric would be a disaster.

I would like to reiterate that three men over 70 are running for president, and the one facing constant scrutiny over his age is by far the most coherent of them.
The ad is his pinned post... and right below it is an "apology" for the ad, claiming he had nothing to do with it. Incredible.

This should be the story tomorrow, and every day:

The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin.

to this day it hasn’t broadly sunk in how insanely aggro Trump’s foreign policy was. he didn’t just keep the drone war going, he drastically escalated it, nearly sparked war with Iran and North Korea, etc etc airwars.org/conflict/coa...
It’s like how people went from posting that “next drone will be sent by a woman” comic nonstop in the lead up to 2016, suddenly started ignoring the drone wars completely when Trump won, and then remembered how much they care about the issue (but not enough to know about Biden’s moratorium) in 2021.

I’m sold on this place taking over from the old one. Within a minute of coming here, I find the actual video, which I can’t when searching for it on Twitter.
Here’s the actual interview, the relevant part starts at around 2:55
