Meanwhile, in Faux reality, people will continue to believe that this was a clear example of islamist, anti-semitic terrorism and will never hear about the ludicrous charges brought against a seventy-six year old daughter of Holocaust survivors. And Asst AG Dhillon should be impeached.

People are unfairly alleging that the President of the United States doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'communism'. He's correctly using it in the sense well understood by Birchers, neo-Nazis, and Klansmen for decades -- it means any opposition to white supremacy.
Ingraham: "One sentence, if you could boil down why Republicans need to show up in the midterms. One sentence?"

Trump: "Communism."

At this late date, it's disconcerting to see so many WTF posts about Jeffries. He's merely continuing to signal to big money donors that the Democrat Party stands with elite grifters.

New Yorkers are a cheap date. All you need to do is say you love our terrible sports teams, fill some potholes, clean some graffiti and say someone will help with the kids and everyone goes nuts. Anyway this is communism. I hope you are all happy.

If you're capable of being fascinated by people or ideas, you're susceptible to the tactics of grifters and cultists. If you think this doesn't mean you, you're a lot more susceptible.

Is there a historically worse Senate seat than the currently vacant one? It's been occupied by some of the most important architects of USAmerican systemic racism and champions of white nationalism. Butler, Pinckney, Calhoun, Tillman, Thurmond, and I'm sure I'm leaving some out.

Why should they enthusiastically praise him? Well, why not? Democrat Party legislators are fawning over the ghost of ex-Senator Stinkball to signal to Big Money that they stand with elites. A voluminous round of social media posts disapproving of it won't cost them a single vote.

A markedly different reaction than that of white evangelicals when he rubbed their noses in it, with the Jesus/medic meme and the golden idol worship. There was some pushback then, but they fell back in line. I reckon some Q followers will stick with him, but most won't.

Interesting that this TPM article doesn't mention that the act stripped accused non-citizens of due process and also doesn't mention that Ossoff voted for it as soon as Trump was re-elected. Thanks to Collins, Ossoff, et al., tens of thousands are being imprisoned without process.
[Quote from TPM article]
Following the murder of nursing student Laken Riley, for which an undocumented immigrant was convicted, 46 Democrats joined Republicans to pass Collins’ Laken Riley Act, which tightens requirements for federal immigration authorities and expands the rights of states in immigration criminal justice issues.

Using the passing lane for something other than passing is unlawful in all 50 states because there's a plethora of research showing that it increases injuries and fatalities. With traffic surveillance ever increasing, I expect someone eventually to be charged with negligent homicide over it.
