My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

Press freedom keeps falling. (No, we're not surprised.) Norway ranks #1 and the US is #64 this year, down seven places from last year. The researchers blame Trump's "repeated attacks on the press and journalists" becoming "a systematic policy" during his second term. rsf.org/en/classemen...

#BoycottTikTok
TikTok was bought by MAGA
billionaire Larry Ellison last week, and now it is severely censoring what Americans see in their feed.
For instance, if you search for
"Minneapolis" you will see zero live feeds. Other search terms that go againt the regime from ICE to Epstein are being blocked or restricted.
It was literally more open during
Chinese control.
These are dark times.

I’m from Norway, the country where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded each year. I can say with fairly strong confidence that Donald Trump will never be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This prize is not given to presidents who use the military against their own people.

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.
