He's getting ready to usher in [checks notes] 1897. Next thing you know, he's gonna invent steam engines!

Did you know that with the lycra they like to wear, you can often desaturate the image's color and increase the exposure to get a *really* good idea of the person's face?

Does he think hanging around with other confirmed rapists and a possible murderer makes it BETTER that he hung with Epstein?

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:

"I ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew -- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

And actively call for their assassination on the campaign trail. From 2016:

Trump and the right wing's frequent and open encouragement of political assassination stands in stark contrast to their claims, today. Gun violence is wrong. Period.

Screen cap of NYT headline in 2016, quoting Donald Trump: "Donald Trump Suggests 'Second Amendment People' Could Act Against Hillary Clinton."

Trump and right wing radicals have been advocating for and promoting political assassination for a long time. Let's not pretend they have any claim to the moral high ground when what they promote actually takes place.

Granny will be harvesting almonds in no time!

AI generated cartoon image of a bespectacled, white-haired elderly white woman, with her hair in a bun, wearing "sensible" dark gray shoes, knee-high support hose, and a floral patterned dress of yellow flowers on a blue background. She's sporting an oxygen tank strapped to her back, and climbing a brown ladder beneath an almond tree, reaching up to grab an almond drupe (an ovoid fruit, related to peaches, in which almonds grow). There's a walker parked under the ladder (well, half of one, the AI didn't quite get it right).

While all of them have had dodgy ethical "gifts," Thomas' is known for having accepted a "gift" of a super-luxury RV, which is a parallel to trumps super-luxury jet. I'm guessing the comment was intended to be a joke implying a competition re: luxury vehicles.

Luxury RV "gifted" to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, with a photo of Thomas superimposed in front of it. Other expensive travel-related "gifts" include trips on private jets and luxury yachts.

He's not the only corrupt Supreme Court justice, but he is the one whose "gifts" tend to be in the form of luxury travel accomodations.

Alright everyone, looks like a bot account spreading conspiracy theories has hit this thread - report and block:

Probably bot account spreading CT about Rachel Maddow hijacked the comments on this post. The account name is @resistmaddow.bsky.social for those who want to report and block.

BUT, then the ice/eyeball event happened. A week later, I was auto-sent a new quote: $13k Then another quote: $12k Today, it's $11k For comparison, my daughter bought her current car a few weeks before mine got hit. It's a 2015 Prius with 100k miles. It was $15k.

My car has been in the shop after an asshole didn't clear the ice off their truck in February. On the highway, that ice smashed the windshield and broke the roof of my car, filling my eyes with glass dust.

Never mentioned it on the campaign trail? You mean other than at every campaign stop and interview?

White River Junction, Vermont (pop: 2800, official protest count: 2100) Photo taken from a side street, because entire crowd couldn't fit on the main street.

Photo of a small portion of the protest crowd that turned out in White River Junction, Vermont on April 5, 2025. You can see the intersection of 2 roads with traffic control lights at the intersection. People stretch side by side along both sides of the road, on all of the visible roads.

People are holding signs and flags. It is cloudy, cold and raining. Some people have umbrellas and most are wearing winter coats or rain coats.

Your banner on the CNN Politics live election page is wrong. Pennsylvania was the first, and he lost. In the 2 FL districts tonight, it looks like there's a nearly 20 point shift away from trump vs the 2024 election.

Screenshot of incorrect banner from https://www.cnn.com/election/2025

Incorrect text states:

"President Trump's second term faces its first electoral tests with elections in Wisconsin and Florida"
