70k followers for the most gutter-brained conspiratorial nonsense imagineable. Based on the idea that most bog standard, man-bites-dog "popular online outsider candidate said a bunch of slurs online" storyline of course has to be illicit coordination

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Waiting for the leftist trolls who don't understand reality to come give their "very intelligent" responses on this, most likely asking what values the wants to negotiate blah blah blah

And just going to leave this here

"gotcha guy" meme with clown ass leftist in the well

A 'peasant' comments "Sometimes progress requires compromise, and I'd rather lose a battle to win 3 than just lose 4"

The clown ass leftist in the well snarkily presents their supposed gotcha of 'what values are you willing to negotiate on' by saying "Curious. You're willing to compromise your values? I'm so dedicated to mine I'm willing to give up hard battles we already won!

SO THERE, TAKE THAT FILTHY CENTRIST!"

We can all see what they gave away in the name of so called purity, fuck them.

AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

Federal officials claim Portland's ICE facility closed down due to protests. Even federal judges acknowledged this as true.

So OPB decided to fact check it. Data show bookings at the building never stopped.

Portland’s ICE building closed for 22 days this summer, but immigration arrests and detentions hardly slowed

Justice Department attorneys argue the facility was “inoperable.” Some public functions were halted. Bookings were not.

Apparently, the official GOP response to the leaked Young Republican chats is “come on, it’s not a big deal that these guys are using racial slurs and praising Hitler, that’s totally normal” and, uh, that sorta raises more questions?

Trump literally thinks he has the powers of a king, with full discretionary control over all government resources to distribute as he sees fit. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

The Trump administration has already tried to withhold funding from New York, including $18 billion for transit projects. But his latest comments were tied directly to Mamdani; he called the democratic socialist a communist who hates police and Jewish people.

“I was always very generous with New York, even when you had opposition there. But I was always very generous,” Trump said. “But I wouldn’t be generous to a communist, a guy that’s going to take the money and throw it out the window. Because you’re talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. And we’re not going to let somebody get into office, and squander the taxpayer money from this country.”

Just trying to imagine what Republicans would’ve done if, say, the head of the California Democratic Party were accused of rape, while one of the state’s Democratic congressmen has his career ended by sex trafficking allegations and a second juggled multiple allegations of sexual harassment.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.
