Trump is a coward. Zelensky is a warrior. Trump is a pathological liar. Zelensky is a truth teller. Trump is a scoundrel. Zelensky is a hero. Trump kisses Putin’s ass. Zelensky is kicking Putin’s ass. Trump is a traitor to the free world. Zelensky is defending the free world.

The President vs. every member of Congress COMBINED. Guess who made more personal financial trades? Donald Trump — with 28,000+ trades. Stock trading by top government officials should be illegal—no owning, buying, or selling stocks.

I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)
The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing.
They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?
npr.org
As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

One of the most heinous examples is Matt Walsh suggesting that, actually, Jane Doe raped the frat boys because they were also under the influence. I thought it bore a certain resemblance to some of Andrew Johnson’s comments on slavery. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-illusion...
But Walsh isn't satisfied with victim blaming. He goes so far as to assert that, given the consumption of drugs and alcohol, the fraternity boys couldn't possibly be held responsible themselves:

I'm not kidding when I say that the Cornell frat guys should file a counter suit accusing the woman of raping them. According to her own testimony, some of the men were drunker than she was. By her logic, and the logic of her supporters, they were even less capable of consent. She was the rapist in that case. There's no way out of our current madness except by holding feminists to their own standards.When I read Walsh's comments I see a level of male supremacism that leaves my jaw on the floor. It also reminds me of a quote from President Andrew Johnson delivered to Frederick Douglass when pressed about protecting freed slaves:

If I know myself, and the feelings of my own heart, they have been for the colored man. I have owned slaves and bought slaves, but / never sold one. I might say, however, that practically, so far as my connection with slaves has gone, I have been their slave instead of their being mine.

It's been such a long few years, I'd forgotten this particular rape accusation against Hegseth. The woman told police she may have been drugged. Hegseth, who was married to one woman and had just had a baby with another, said it was consensual but paid her $50k to settle. He was confirmed anyway.
