I have no love for Mitch McConnell, but I can’t believe his (true) friends and family are ok with all the nonsense being said about him now. Release a statement on his condition, and let him speak for himself to validate the conversations he’s supposedly having.

Since they tried to bury it, you know what to do. Video: xcancel.com/patriottakes...
Screenshot of a PatriotTakes post on X describing a 6-minute Republican opposition video outlining Ken Paxton's corruption, originally distributed by the NRSC, that has since been made unlisted on YouTube. The post includes a still from the video showing a black-and-white image of Paxton with a graphic reading "2011 - TEXAS STATE REPRESENTATIVE" and text describing Paxton soliciting investments in a technology company called Servergy while serving in that role.

I just got gas at our local BJs and was behind a big pickup that had Trump stuff stickers on it, as well as some religious stuff. When I saw how much she paid to fill up (about double what I paid) I thought - good, that’s what she supported. Was that mean?

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word. Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025. They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap. H/T: @BadFoxGraphics

Just now on This Week (ABC) there's a WH trade rep saying that the WH is looking for other ways to impose tariffs, since the SC shut down the ones Trump had in place. The SC clearly said that Congress must be involved in determining tariffs, and Trump and his team are searching for loopholes.

Think about students, renters, women who changed their names, and rural voters without easy access to records. The SAVE Act makes them prove citizenship with specific documents or lose their voice. The people already on the margins get pushed out completely.

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.
A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg

Question: Gaetz resigned from the CURRENT Congress, but was just reelected to the NEXT one. Can or will he show up to be sworn in on Jan 3? He said he "didn't intend to" but that seems meaningless.
