DENVER AFTER DARK

Phones. Communicating. Tracking. And how congress doesn’t know much of anything… and when they do they like to exaggerate to the point of putting people in danger.

If by "moment of triumph" you mean Donald Trump's mirage of a peace deal lasted a moment, then yes!

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Ben Meiselas on Thursday: Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. It's not great timing because it's right after the Putin talk, he's still going to be feasting off the Putin talking points. If I was betting, knowing Trump's psychology and pathology, he's going to try to intimidate Zelensky.

The Trump administration cut funding for disaster preparedness there because of “DEI..”

A tweet from Lu for Alaska reads: “NW Alaska evacuating in case you watch mainstream news and don’t know what’s happening up here.” The attached image shows the inside of a large military cargo plane packed with people sitting on the floor, many wearing coats and holding children, as they appear to be in the process of evacuation.

Well done, Donald Trump! Naively trusting fellow war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has resulted in a "Peace in the Middle East" that lasted less than one Scaramucci.

But your record for always being incompetent remains unblemished. At least you don't have a Nobel Peace Prize you'd need to give back.

When do you think Trump and Republicans will realize they drove up No Kings protest attendance by calling it a “hate America rally”?

She nails it🔥

“I am a patriot and I will not… let anyone tell me that I am not here because I love my country.”

“Brown liquid.” Really? Anyone can see that it’s excrement if you can’t say he’s shitting on protesting Americans. This from the media org that couldn’t bring itself to call Trump’s lies lies…facilitating his success by soft-pedaling the reality.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 17h

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

Look, the Times was obviously unable to confirm at time of publication what the brown liquid that looked like diarrhea and that appeared to have been dumped from an AI-generated jet fighter by the president of United was intended to represent in his mind.

I spoke to a man who said his relatives fought against the fascists in WWIi and this is now our turn. He was dressed in a dinosaur costume & sang for me Barney’s theme song about love and family.

So where are we at the morning after? Well, because Trump/Republicans/MAGA didn’t get ANY of the violence on the streets that they so DESPERATELY hoped for & encouraged, they’re now attacking #NoKings as just a bunch of old white people. Smh. This won’t work either.👇

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!
