"The photo, obtained by HuffPost, shows Trump giving a thumbs-up with Peter Giunta, a regular participant in the group chat who said at one point, 'I love Hitler,' and Anne KayKaty, who chimed in on the group chat that she wanted 'to watch people burn.'”

Trump in his stupid MAGA hat and surrounded by US flags and a Trump 2024 sign giving a thumbs up with two Republicans who participated in a racist, antisemitic hate chat in which they said they love Hitler.

They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind.

at some point the country is going to wake up to the fact that most people in it live in cities, and that we are real america, and that we won’t subsidize the people who abuse and try to dominate us forever, and we will demand we be given the respect we have been denied by the rurals

I mean, it won't ONLY be city folk protesting. I'm sure some people will drive in from the suburbs or the exurbs or the countryside to be a part of this. But again, they will drive TO the city, because THAT'S WHERE EVERYBODY IS. We're not gonna go out to THEIR place! That'd be stupid!

The Mike Davis post may as well just say “k-word n-word” because that’s what it means.

Tom Joscelyn @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social · 1d

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Jesus christ, the Nazis who support a government doing Nazi things and who just had a leak of their staffers’ Nazi group chats are going to claim that Nazi paraphernalia in their office was the result of outside vandalism.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

I’ve been seeing AI generated ads for Kalshi, and they are the most grotesque things I’ve seen online. Some ads are for bets like “will it rain tomorrow?” Or “Will Powell step down?” Heinous

I think people that unironically say "you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs" aren't actually interested in making an appetizing, edible omelette for anyone to enjoy. They just want excuses to smugly break eggs & play the victim whenever people complain about the mess they're making.
