I’m pretty worried about ICE/CBP going blue-flu to ratfuck the next Dem administration tbh. I don’t really think there’s a good counter to them doing malicious compliance and stopping even normal enforcement, then going “sorry, we had to let that child predator go, due to woke” to sympathetic media

Jim Bakker, the TV preacher brought down by sex and financial scandals, has died at 86. He and his then-wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, built a televangelism empire that ended in a spectacular collapse of greed, scandal, and excess.

Yeah. In context it's clear he was trying to say "Gas prices are up, but w/o my war the israelis could develop a nuclear weapon that could take out LA or San Diego, so 50% more for gas is a small price to pay." Didn’t help that the audience cheered the thought of LA/SD getting melted, though.

very tired of being told it is the responsibility of urban democratic voters never to risk possibly maybe by chance seeming less than respectful of rural red state life and then watching thousands in nebraska cheer on the president joking about a nuclear strike on me and millions of my neighbors

Trump suggests letting Iran 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign rally
Trump made the remarks during a rambling speech in which he said gas prices would be lower soon, touted his ouster of Venezuela’s dictator, and made attacks on news outlets.

I don’t really know when it happened exactly but Republicans have turned just basic kindness upside down. We all know what kindness is and we all know what a jerk looks like. At some point, Republicans decided being a huge asshole was preferred and kindness was bad.

Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

One thing that Trumpism has made clear over and over again is that the global far right understands itself to be in a ideological alliance the helps itself across borders, and the center and left largely do not.

Trump: "I know more about inflation, I know more about everything than anybody in this room. Anybody anywhere in the world. Well, there's a woman sitting over there. She's a housewife but she's very good. She got a natural instinct for business. She perhaps knows more than I do but I don't think so"

Mississippians are paying more at the grocery store and more at the pump. Cindy Hyde-Smith has had her chance to stand up for working families. Instead, she’s handed over Congress’ authority and left us to foot the bill. That’s not Mississippi first, that's Mississippi last.
