The nazi dork that Kat so artfully debates here is Trevor Raein, leader of "Evropean Americans". They follow Jake Lang around to call him not a real nazi. He was joined in Bridgeview today by Gregory Conte, one of the organizers of the deadly Unite the Right rally. Details in master thread below ⬇

A CNN investigation has found that while Jared Kushner acted as a key Middle East peace negotiator, his private equity firm held the largest stake in an Israeli company backing businesses tied to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, including its largest arms manufacturer. cnn.it/4AIwBQs

Ken Paxton: “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign and what issues are going to matter because it’s all coming from D.C. I don’t control the message or what we’re doing. I don’t have ability to change anything. I have to live with whatever I’ve got. It’s a challenge.”

It decimated the federal workforce - not overhauled it. The elimination of expertise. The destruction of capacity. It also did NOT slash government spending. Spending is UP. It has been reallocated to the secret police and military. Stop publishing falsehoods.

Joe Biden was too old to be president. Trump is the same age as Biden was when he was president. And it’s obvious that Trump is less mentally healthy than Biden was. So when will the media report that the president’s brain is broken? If the answer is “never,” that means the media are broken too.
