I think he would be perfectly happy to have only breitbart and OAN in the room.

I'd send it back to the kitchen. Too much gristle!

Is he just focusing on anticipating the republican response? Maybe we need to strike a balance between the over-rationalized thinking of our political tacticions and our burning feelings of righteous indignation. But first, we need these congressional seats. Second is whatever the fuck we say it is.

I was wondering what he used to keep that mop in place.

Voters chose Trump the authoritarian over Kamala. It's not NPR's fault, it's ours.

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler as excerpted in William Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
My inner revulsion toward the Hapsburg State steadily grew... I was repelled by the conglomeration of races which the capital showed me, repelled by this whole mixture of Czechs, Poles, Hungarians, Ruthenians, Serbs, and Croats, and everywhere the eternal mushroom of human-ity-Jews, and more Jews. To me the giant city seemed the embodiment of racial desecration...
The longer I lived in this city the more my hatred grew for the foreign mixture of peoples which had begun to corrode this old site of German culture... For all these reasons a longing rose stronger and stronger in me to go at last whither since my childhood secret desires and secret love had drawn me.63

But he DOES understand it. I believe they have a training course in obfuscation tactics for administration officials headed to Congress to testify.

The pattern was false accusations made by Ice officials, later disproved by video evidence. The senator fell into mullin’s obfuscation trap, growing more frustrated and less effective as a result.

Chauvin was filmed in the act of ending Floyd’s life. Is that the “mistreatment” here? WTF

Might be more effective if they staged a unified walk out. Would CBS dare fire the entire crew? Not a good look.

Thank goodness we still have PBS and shows like Frontline. Perhaps a good time to step up those donations!

Try verifying before spreading fakes. It is not helpful. Thanks.

This appears to be fake. It does not appear on Truth Social. Dont spread fake shit, there is enough real crap to draw from.

Where is the Pentagon audit that Trump promised us during his 2015 campaign?

Here they are on patrol through a dog park in a wealthy area of DC just yesterday. My daughter was gassed, chased, and harassed by low flying helicopters at the George Floyd protest during Trump's first term.

I always thought “peace through strength” was Republicans’ stated reasoning for bloated defense budgets, not for subduing the world.

I'm surprised he hasn't attacked the "DEI look" of the crew yet. Will he invite them to the WH?

"...is clearly what the markets would like to see." It's all about advancing business interests with these guys. "Lots of people are dying" would be an alternate reason for stopping the war.

AI overview: Based on current market analysis, a "long semiconductors, short software" trade (buying semiconductor stocks while betting against software stocks) is currently favored due to significant, growing divergences in their performance and fundamentals.

If she, or any democrat for that matter, were currently residing in the white house, we wouldn't be living through this daily shitstorm.

this holiday trump took time away from his wife, 5 kids, and 11 grandkids to post a tsunami of text about a dead pedophile that he is definitely not at all concerned about
the creepy pedo who duped a buncha dopes into putting him in charge again took time away from his 5 kids, 11 grandkids, and a bored wife who loathes him to blurp: 

Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to "drop him like a dog" when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn't know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so. When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife
"Republican," Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story - a total Scam - and had nothing to do with "TRUMP." The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election "Reporting," even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!)
coverage. Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, that's the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The capturing of our news organizations continues. But at least it’s being done right out in the open, where people see it happening and then just say, “Oh”.
