Are the "antifa people" related to the "watermelon people"?

The Republicans have it so much easier than the Democrats, because evidently what they say doesn't have to be tethered to reality. They can just say whatever advances their position. Their making-it-up technique allows for maximum flexibility and creativity.

Young Republicans includes people up to the age of 40. I'm pretty sure that when I was young, I would have never entertained the idea of loving Hitler.

"Occasionally they go together." Trump was talking about beauty and intelligence in women.
What a pig.

How is this not extorting voters in NYC? Trump doesn't care who he hurts.

So creepy.

My dad joined antifa on June 6, 1944, in St. Mere Elgise, France. I understand George Soros was also a member in Hungary at about the same time. Antifa has been around for a while.

Elizabeth Warren's DNA test proved she had Native American ancestry. Somehow Trump-Vance think that's something to mock--bullies gotta bully. She's American Indian in the same way Vance claims to be Scot-Irish. Trump outright lied about being Swedish in "Art of the Deal."

Warren Releases DNA Results, Challenges Trump Over Native American Ancestry

With a possible 2020 presidential run looming, Sen. Elizabeth Warren released results of a DNA test that found she is primarily of European descent, but likely had a Native American ancestor.

Most of the young men playing video games and not working have issues--mental health, intellectual, addiction--or illnesses that are not totally disabling. Even "able-bodied" young men can get cancer. Who are we?

The Republican promise to vote on extending the Obamacare credits, if the Democrats vote to open the government, is as hollow as their promise to "prioritize" the deportation of criminals. They will just vote "no."

Would he swear her in if she was a Republican?

Letlow was sworn in as soon as Congress reconvened in April 2021. Pelosi wasn't keeping the House out of session to keep from swearing Letlow in. Yet another Eddie Haskell imitation from Mike Johnson.

Most Jews are Democratic, because they know where bigotry and racism can lead.

The key words here are “highly regarded.”

Funding it? There’s not a lot of expenses. It’s not like January 6. Financed by a Publix heiress, among other rightwing plutocrats.

Those eagles on top remind me of something.

So glad he has access to great health care overseen by a gaggle of specialists. Wish he weren’t trying to put healthcare out of reach for millions of Americans.

It’s the Republican Party that is perverting the idea of America.

Trump has defaced the Oval Office.

I think part of the conflation of Miller and Goebbels has to do with their resemblance to the genus rattus.

Connie @econnie.bsky.social · 9d

I think you’re right.

Gnats, vermin, debris are deplorable terms for your fellow citizens.

My dad was in the 82nd Airborne and was dropped into Normandy on D-Day. Thank God, he's dead.

Miller is deplorable! That's even worse than evil, radical, lunatic, socialist, communist, groomer--as we all know.
