This isn't that hard to understand, Senator Kennedy. Jack Smith wasn't investigating Democrats because Democrats did not attack the U.S. Capitol. #TrumpCoupAttempt

And that’s why these midterms need to be a Blue Tsunami. An electoral wipeout of epic proportions, resetting the partisan map. It’s us with team reality, and them with team war, death, and chaos.

But it shows you the escalation from rebellion to tyranny by Donald Trump. And Donald Trump is not calling for any elections in Venezuela. is just doing what she used to do for Maduro, directly for Donald now.

Then Donald Trump basically extorted that other country into signing an agreement saying that America owns its oil. Never mind that the oil is of poor quality and needs a $1 trillion investment to extract and carbonize, money that we’re not going to be sending there anytime soon.

In six years, because of Republican cowardice during the second impeachment, we’ve gone from Donald Trump abusing acting cabinet secretary laws to Donald Trump installing his own acting president of another country.

He ended by talking about what a great little war he won in Venezuela (but don’t call it a war either) to become its dictator in charge of the socialist government under Delsy Rodriguez’s care, just like she did for Maduro.

What you saw on stage last night is a mental fitness-to-serve problem of the highest order. And on top of that, abdication of service by 52 Republican senators (and John Federman, no doubt, that scumbag) failing to do their jobs for almost two years.

Of course, you know, it would take out like a bunch of rich people, too, which I guess he wouldn’t like so much, but you know, would he even care? Donald Trump would let a foreign power murder 13 million Americans. Think: the opening scene from Terminator, and then some. That’s America LAST.

Los Angeles has the most registered Republicans of any county in America. Donald Trump said that he would sacrifice both of them. And why? To perpetuate his foolish and illegal war with Iran. Just for his own ego’s sake. PSYCHOTIC.

Donald Trump would be willing to vaporize 1.6 million of his own voters, the Republicans who live in California. THIS IS WHY WE NEED A BLUE TSUNAMI. San Diego County has the fourth-highest number of registered Republican voters in America among counties that report partisan and registration data.

Republican Pedophile Dennis Hastert is dead. He was the longest-serving GOP Speaker of the House and tried to, and failed to, cover up Republican Tom Foley having sex with boys in the House page program, and he was convicted of covering up his own sex abuse as a wrestling coach. Rest in hell.

if you just handover all of your countries, gold reserves to Donald Trump and let him cut a deal with the organized crime gangs who run the minds, then he’ll let you be president of Venezuela’s socialist government. Pay your whole country and you can play.. #PayToPlayPresident

Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

This is actually a very long clip with a very real debate filled with far more facts smuggled onto Newsmax about ICE’s arbitrary brutality and the fact the US Supreme Court’s right-wing majority made it impossible to take ICE to court for their arbitrary brutality.

Donald Trump and the political right spend so much time demonizing immigrants that they never take a minute to look inside their own camp and discover that the problems are coming from inside the tent.

Not in the bank account, of course, because this is a man who built an entire decade-long career in American politics while being an undocumented immigrant. Ultimately, leopards ate his face- the ones he would've voted for if he could.

There, Yiannopolous went on Piers Morgan's show to call his arrest terrifying and "physically degrading," complaining that he was treated like a gang member. Now, this former immigrant says he's "very ashamed" of having supported Trump for the last decade.

Grant Stern @grantstern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
The Trump administration must “insist,” he wrote a year ago, that it “deport millions and millions of people.” After ICE arrested him, they posted his mugshot and quickly sent him back to the UK.

Grant Stern @grantstern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Amazingly, Yiannopolous had posted multiple tweets celebrating ICE and excoriating immigrants without documented status. "Total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're on duty," he wrote.

Naturally, this same operative, "@Milo" on Twitter, real name Milo Yiannopoulos, then became Kanye West's political manager, setting up the infamous dinner with the rapper and Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
