We all had the same information. How can anyone possibly vote for a convicted felon who's also indicted for other crimes in multiple jurisdictions, banned from running a charity, and ajudicated as responsible for sexual assault?

“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

But Kamala Harris campaigning with Liz Cheney to prevent Trump 2.0 from ever happening was an unpardonable sin according to the very people backpedaling to excuse this shit.

I am a confirmed doomer, but I think Jamelle is right here. And the reason is 'cause the big, powerful, and surprising wins are not coming from Detroit or Chicago or Philadelphia or any other Black-coded boogeyman. They're coming from Kansas and Iowa and Maine and Florida.

For people thinking, what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production coming next week, that's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis and 1979 Iran war oil crisis. Each followed by a major recession. Prices and supply are global. And global oil stocks are already gone. It's a calamity. 1/

"Ironclad law" made me audibly giggle. The WH East Wing is rubble on a golf course. There are 200+ dead on boats in the Carribean. No one voted for Iran War, now in 8th month. They lost a 5-4 SCOTUS vote on the 14th amendment. Before new laws, 100s of these people need to see jail.

He said it was a "reward for people putting up with Biden," which doesn't have anything to do w/ election outcome. Says he can do it w/o Congress... so why not do it now, Mr. President? Because it's a lie. Straight to your face.
