The President of the United States is a liar. The President of the United States is a rapist. The President of the United States is a thief. The President of the United States is a sociopath. The President of the United States must be defeated.

This is a Russian jet-powered Shahed drone striking a supermarket in Odesa in broad daylight today. ​This is terrorism. Terrorists shouldn't be rewarded with lucrative business deals. They must be repelled, arrested, and prosecuted.

I can easily believe Trump & Musk would do this to Ukraine. What’s so discouraging & humiliating is the number of politicians, judges, corporate leaders & media who have enabled him and also attacked, blocked and in many other ways stopped opposition to him through fear and violence. #resist #vote

THIS. The ignorance of people about the Ukraine weapons program and the - I believe - intentional lies about it by the state propaganda networks led to our industrial weapons complex losing massive amounts of money. You may say that’s good, but the money is still being paid, just to non-Americans.

Prices were steady until the Iran war. Most refineries were already hit and 40% shut down by then. The timing of the price increases don’t support your contention that Ukraine’s attacks are responsible for current prices. Clearly, it’s the war that set prices skyrocketing.

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

💥NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out! TONS of NEWS DOJ & FBI emails I obtained reveal how federal investigators probed allegations in 2022 that President Donald Trump tore up presidential records & why a prosecutor declined to pursue a separate criminal investigation www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
An email from NARA's OIG to DOJ's public integrity prosecutor in 2022. 

I just wanted to close the loop on our end with this. My office completed a preliminary inquiry into the matter of the torn records from the Trump Administration and found that:
1. In June 2018, NARA warned the Trump Administration that the practice of tearing records was not permissible. The Trump Administration provided assurances that it would stop. In approximately March or April 2021, NARA determined that the practice had continued through the end of the administration.
2. From the very limited number of Trump Administration records reviewed by NARA pursuant to special access requests, only a very small quantity were torn.
3. Both classified (secret and top secret) and unclassified records were torn (including two partially torn records found in the 15 boxes retrieved from Mar-a-Lago).
4. The nature of the tears varied from partial, halves, quarters, and smaller pieces. However, no records were torn in a way that they were not able to be realigned and put back together.
5. Some torn records were taped back together, while others were placed in their multiple pieces and intermingled in accordion folders.
6 pra practice did not seem to follow a rhyme or reason, and did not appear to be a discriminant
7. There is no way for NARA to know who exactly tore the records, but it is implied by how the records were labeled and some records were attributed to President Trump, and recently one box containing torn records was attributed to Matthew Sheehan, former Deputy Counsel to Vice President Mike Pence.
8. As a side note, classified records were found intermingled with the unclassified records and isolated as necessary for proper handling.
Please let me know if given this additional information, this is a matter that PIN is interested in.

The US and the West welcomed Russia into the community of nations after the Cold War. Investment poured in. The G7 turned into G8. The idea that Poland, Estonia, etc. forming their own foreign relations was so unfair to Moscow that Russia is entitled to murder Ukrainians 20 years later is insane.

Trump says under the Trump administration, Republicans have created the highest ever poverty numbers. Before someone says that’s not what he really meant, he goes on to explain it. “poverty is higher than it’s ever been before, by a lot, by a record amount” What the hell is wrong with him?

I’m glad!! I probably don’t have the best understanding of the far left. I used to think Mamdani was far left before I learned about his policies, but his policies aren’t what I imagine as far left. And he’s practical and willing to discuss things in good faith, like El Sayed does, also.

Serious question. Why does he need a press secretary? And what is the point of that position now? To yell at reporters while they meekly accept it? To lie while reporters just ask the next question? Personally, I’d much rather have fewer lies.

I want to think they’re trolls or bots, but I fear most of this unhinged criticism is from far left Americans. I thought she handled the most common follow up question to the slogan “Abolish ICE” really well. She showed she wants to get rid of ICE but also understands border security is necessary.

Frats are DEI for the mediocre. Most men join a frat because its alumni are "connections" in their field of study. They join for the internships and jobs that those alumni bring. That pipeline is the famous "good old boys" network, and should die out right along with legacy admissions.
