They all need lawsuits filed against them. Only severe penalties will reduce the lies.

He keeps getting better and better. Real contender for 2028 if he wants it.

The trade deficit is being driven to a significant extent by the federal budget deficit. DJT IQ is in the single digits so basic economics is completely unfathomable to him.

They think the people are dumb and will give the politicians in charge credit for bringing in jobs and they will never find out about the enormous cost. Unfortunately, they are probably right.

Meanwhile, our future is being robbed as well with skyrocketing interest cost due to tax cuts and looting us blind. Interest rates only continue to surge along with the deficit.

Was an 80 year old running for a 4th term really the best candidate they could muster? Even if he is in good health, he should have been building up a new leader to take his place that may of had a better shot.

Jesse Watters was making fun of US soldiers conquering foreign women after receiving testerone: “Women on base, you better be careful," he said with a chuckle. "Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out."

Seems like a bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black, given SCOTUS' abuse of the "emergency" shadow docket.

To the “Christians” who condone every evil and sadistic action taken against immigrants because “they’re illegal,” here is what the Bible says about how foreigners should and should not be treated. You know, the Book you claim to believe in.

He is exactly the kind of person that would make a great AG or deputy AG in 2029 should the dems win.

The only benefit of the doubt I can give him is that he has had a complete mental break, some mental illness that has now manifested with age. Otherwise, how to explain his embrace of and glee at genocide?

Stephen Reed @stephenreed1131.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
What about Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, the West Bank? How about the other middle eastern countries that would take issue with a completed genocide? Does he also think Afganistan, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan should have been genocided after 9/11? What an insanely evil person.

That is not true. Where did you hear that from? Public charter schools, by law, can not select the applicants they prefer. They must accept anyone that applies as long as there is space. What it does screen for is parents who are willing to apply. Those kids are likely to have better parents.

Roger Marshall filed lawsuits against them to collect. Some of them did not make their court date so his attorneys asked the judge to hold them in contempt and arrest them, which the judge happily obliged. They need to look and see if these judges are bought off as well.

They want to free themselves of any possible ICC consequences for their past and planned future crimes against humanity.

They are speaking to one man: Trump. When they make these statements, Trump is pleased with them, which helps in their survival/advancement.

Pleasantly surprised to learn that the DHS OIG is allowed to perform its job. Thought it was gutted and staffed full of loyalists at this point.

"We must stand up for trans rights by helping the white nationalists maintain power, that'll teach 'em." It's clear they don't really believe democracy is actually on the line. It was the same with Kamala and Gaza. They'd rather Trump win than vote for someone who wouldn't agree with them.

All the data clearly point to a need for a rate hike. This meeting will determine whether Kevin Warsh is in the pocket of the president. A failure for him to vote to raise rates will answer that question in the affirmative and further weaken Fed credibility.

Would be nice if we could set up a secret program (under a different administration) ordering government employees to commit a grossly unethical or illegal act (in actuality it is just a fake scenario set up) and then purge the lot of them permanetly that comply in one feel swoop.

#6 Starting Iran war without legal justification #7 Corruption of DOJ, directing them to commit crimes and grossly unethical behavior, such as political prosecutions, lying in court filings, and purging anyone who refuses to comply #8 Bribery, theft and laundering of taxpayer money for insiders.

Sarah Longwell said it best: Democrats fight for candidates to have their policy views in alignment with their own and fight against other democrats that don't share their views. Republicians fight to win elections.

Members of the FLDS cult were robbed of almost all their wealth, worked as slaves, controlled in extreme ways, their children sexually abused, women and men emotionally abused, families separated and yet still over half are devout followers. It's gonna take a hell of a lot more to stop voting R.

The only thing they think is worth anything is the percent of white people in the country. So the Zenith, per their criteria, was likely well before that.

They provided ~1 hour of advance warning on an emergency signal (telling them to abandon ship and that it was about to be hit).

How has shit not completely collapsed by now? With these type of people sidelined in pretty much every agency, it is inevitable that a catastrophe will occur. With any luck, it will happen before the midterms, and wake people up before it's too late.

Because it was a "controversy" and controversy gets viewership and engagement (people on different sides whether it was true or not). Don't think there is really any debate about this one whether it is true or not, and also it is a blip in the massive pile of shit served up this term.

Why did he delete them? He is 100% right in his statements. How stupid is the American public that speaking truth and common sense has to be deleted to get elected?

Large corporations will ALWAYS bow down to fascism and sell out the US and democracy if it means they can earn another nickle. Tax and regulate the ever loving fuck out of them.

Reminds me of the ISIS propaganda videos, highlighting cruelty meant to spread terror while something sadistic is being shown, with the perpetrators' faces hidden.

It is going to keep happening. When there is no penalty for breaking the law the law might as well not exist. The law is a joke. A mere suggestion.

This attorney general is an absolute ghoul. He conceived, pitched, and aggressively defended Alligator Alcatraz. Looting the taxpayer dollars for an illegal internment camp (thankfully now shut down due to illegality). He is the Worst of the Worst.

Isn't this what SCOTUS ruled in Slaughter, that it is unconstitutional for any department to be independent of the president (except, conveniently, the Federal Reserve). This is a fringe SCOTUS that already made a ruling, acknowledging this reality isn't necessarily endorsing it.

Stephen Reed @stephenreed1131.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
Isn't this what SCOTUS effectively ruled in the Slaughter case? That it is unconstitutional for any department to be independent of the president? Is the WAPO acknowledging this or actively endorsing it as a good thing? All the commentary assumes the latter but that isn't clear from the headline.

This applies equally to the town their parents live, since most will be living somewhere else after they graduate. You are pretty much arguing that they shouldn't vote in any local election until they figure out where they are going to live long term.

To be fair, he very likely is not too radical for Wisconsin, seeing as Wisconsin went for Trump in 2024. This will be the first time a DSA candidate may win in a statewide election in Wisconsin (at least in the current political era for the last several decades).
