We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

If Trump would've been in Zelenskyy's shoes when invaded, he would've been in a catering trailer before the first tank crossed the border.

Trump is evil and will stop at nothing to stir up hate.

Coming from the bastion of truth and honesty that's Trump, you may want to place your bets on it happening.

If your news organization leadership can't figure out that folding to someone like Trump means he needs to humiliate and intimidate you when you come back, then you don't belong in leadership.

The immigrant caravans are running a little late this year. Guessing either they dont have enough cats and dogs to eat, or the forced transgender surgeries are running behind.

Really bad, but probably not the worst member of Congress. I'm guessing none of the right wing media outlets hasn't offered a contract.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter. (Published Jan. 2025)

Voting for Trump for a second term was like paying for flight school for someone who has no intention of learning landings.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

Sinclair is sneaky. It filters MAGA propaganda through popular local news anchors & TV stations with respected network affiliations. But it was the high profile crusade against Jimmy Kimmel that scored the company its biggest win yet. My latest: jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/trumps-tha...

Trump’s Thank You Gift to the Nation’s Worst Local TV News Owner
Sinclair uses its nearly 200 stations as a MAGA megaphone. Now it can gobble up even more stations after a recent move by Trump's FCC. That's bad news for local communities & our democracy.

Not at all. The right falsely claims the left runs the media. Trump wouldn't survive a week without right wing media propping him up and waxing over his failures.

Excellent, insightful and correct piece from @edwardluce.bsky.social about the decline in America's standing and what (and how long) it will take to recover the stature we have lost under Trump (and before). Who's the beneficiary? China, of course. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

...so far. That needs to be added. Venezuela was a "war" at day 1. Iran is just a conflict. Also, Trump's daddy's money made sure he didnt have to serve in Vietnam.

Anyone know if Jerry Sandusky is willing to give a speech on child safety? It would carry more weight than Trump on election security.
