We can detest him for all of those things, as well as the fact that he is a corrupt and horrible leader. Pretending it's a joke doesn't change the reality.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

It's both. They manufactured a conspiracy about Clinton and Dems to deflect from the GOP/ Trump's complicity and guilt. Now that they are in power, the actual criminals and pedos are running back all of their false promises to "punish the guilty" and moving goalposts while continuing to blame Dems.

So true, I wish we could edit posts. I hate it when I am haunted by my own typos, though people ragging on others (and for one spelling that is correct, even), is lame AF too lol.

Defence is the UK English spelling, not everything is about or needs to be in American English. And not everyone needs to waste their time running everything through a spell check when their messages are clearly understandable regardless of a typo. 😒🙄

As a laptop class person, my whole deal is that I want ALL people lifted out of economic difficulties, not just myself. Just as I am a childless cat lady who yearns for families with children to be able to exist on a single income once again as well.

Really? I think it is because WW3 benefits Trump. Just as Netanyahu's genocide of Gazans benefitted Trump. To me, the timing of this is extremely suspicious and convenient for Trump, to start a big war right when we have the regime here declaring they will liberate a state from its Governance.

Why did so many Dems cross the line, including Schiff, to vote for the Crypto bill today? Do they think crypto is a harmless fad? It is the end game for full oligarchical control of us. 🥲 They will tank the economy and the dollar and install crypto as the reserve currency, mark my words.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

As a white woman... also heavy sigh. What on earth is she even wanting to be thanked for? For centering herself and invalidating other people??? I hope I'm not doing the same here, but I'm getting tired of some of my fellow white women and I know I don't even know the half of it.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

During the Biden Admin, Chair James Comer had the House Oversight Committee investigate Biden for two years straight, and didn’t even bring impeachment up for a vote. During the Trump Admin, Chair James Comer has the House Oversight Committee investigating … the Biden Admin.
