Country punk. Fire the GOP. Because in a country where liars aren't punished, liars rule. We're finding that out.

The MAGA Media Machine Is Fracturing (Gift Article)
Once united in support of President Trump, right-wing influencers are embroiled in feuds and losing viewers, creating a problem for Republicans in the midterm elections.

What’s annoying about this idiot (he says in the interview he’d vote for Trump again) is that @msnowcomms.bsky.social will probably fire a minority voice and give this asshole his own show.

Hmm…Elon is white. The only immigrants Republicans welcome into America are white people (white South Africans, like Elon). So, doing the math…carry the two, add the three…white people are “elite human beings“. Did nazi that coming. Or did, actually.

I’ll give you how UHC screws me. They found polyps in my first colonoscopy. So now, my colonoscopies aren’t covered under ACA’s preventative care requirement, they’re “treatment“ for polyps! (Which aren’t life-threatening.) Like a profit magic trick for UHC!

there's something genuinely shakespearean abt Trump's first resort first to areas of unrestrained power as his power/popularity ebbed and then a spasm of both tragic and hilariously hapless battling against mortality by naming and building that won't survive him

Looking at their faces, I don't know if these people are smart enough to understand that Trump just confessed publicly to using a pardon as a bribe, or they just don't give 2 shits about Henry Cueller bribe stories. Lost his fastball.

More Russification from the Russiapublican Party. Trump is taking tips from Putin on keeping everyone poor, uneducated, ignorant (untraveled), and easy-to-control. Makes a tyrant's job easier.

Said like someone who has not only never seen battle, but neither has any of his ancestors. Trumps only serve themselves. (Trump's grandpa emigrated to the Canadian Yukon to open a brothel after fleeing German military service. Then he walked across the undefended border to America.)

See also Aethelred the Unready, where “Unready” means “poorly counseled” in Old English, a pun on his name, which means “noble counsel” in Old English. You can’t criticize the king, it can’t be him who sucks, it must be his counselors.

It’s the “Good czar, bad boyars” thing that Russians use to excuse Putin. It’s not the tyrant’s fault, it’s the fault of the advice the tyrant gets. It’s so stupid. Also, so is Tillis, and everyone pretending like he’s anything but a gutless coward when it matters.

For years, Project 2025 architect Russell Vought has set out to erode our system of checks and balances of power and to concentrate power in the hands of one person: President Trump. Now he’s quietly making it all happen. 🔊 Listen to this episode: propub.li/3TzIyaA
“I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” - Russell Vought, Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget

Bobby Kennedy would be appalled if he lived to see how insane and evil his son turned out to be. Literally he's as close to a real life Frankenstein as possible. And now, his stupid MAHA is making measles great again. Parents that believe his insanity are not getting their kids vaxxed. Some die.

Trump really is a wannabe mafioso. He thinks he gets to knuckle everybody in the world to his will. And the rotten, corrupt Republican Party lets him get away with it.
