It doesn’t matter who the shooter turns out to be, they’re just going to keep saying what they’re already saying about the motive to further their agenda and it’s all so fucking maddening and scary and hopeless.

The expectation, from the complicit mainstream media, that every single person on social media hold themselves to a HIGHER standard of respect than the freaking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES will never cease to amaze me.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

There was significantly less political violence in America prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. We all know why. That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies. It simply underscores that revisionist history isn’t going to solve America's problems.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Studies repeatedly show that most people age out of "hardcore" crime by their late 30s and 40s. And nobody is "born to be" a criminal. Even Trump, who is a hardcore criminal who has not aged out of his illicit behavoir, was not born like this. I blame his parents.

This is especially neat since Trump tried to get all the cases in the 5th since it’s the most racist court. But he got the wrong panel. 5th can still hear it as a full circuit and give Trump want he wants. Or they can take it directly to Republicans’ SCOTUS

This is MAGAs' new law-and-order hero: an alcoholic with a criminal spouse who couldn't cut it as a prosecutor or judge and got her TV gig as a favor to Trump. When she gets behind the wheel, she's a danger to everyone. One day she'll kill someone.

Trump‘s bombing campaign in Iran cost hundreds of millions of dollars and did not destroy their nuclear weapons program. But the fact that Iran has not yet responded with a domestic terrorist attack makes it a resounding success.
