He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

It still amazes me how the media gets these old guard Democrats on to talk about Mamdani and they dance around the edges of any question about him and refuse to outright go all in with him.

Fu€k these people.

I think people should post videos of this showing at any airport they go to for a flight. Shame these fuckers. Hold up Sea-Tac’s defiance as a shining example against these fuckers.

Sea-Tac won’t air Noem video blaming shutdown on Democrats

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport won’t broadcast a video of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying Democrats caused the federal government shutdown.

Yeah, I can really see how Biden would plot something and “command” the FBI when he wasn’t in office yet, to attack the capitol and create a disruption in the process that certified Biden as President of the United States.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

There’s part of me that also wonders if she’s more sincere about the Healthcare issue and could use her stance on Epstein as a bargaining chip to get that. tЯ☭mp probably doesn’t care about the ACA that much and it looks like a win for both of them.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 9d

Hassett: "China has stopped buying US soybeans. The silos are full and there are soybeans sitting on the ground w/tarps over them. That's unacceptable to POTUS. We're calling up our soybean customers around the world as part of our trade negotiations & we'll strong policies to support our farmers"

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

The Republican shutdown means clinical trials will stop enrolling new patients for life-saving treatment.

But, hey, at least construction on Donald Trump's golden ballroom for his billionaire buddies will continue.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

Considering the Google surrender to tЯ☭mp, I think anyone that supports Democracy and everything the the current Democratic Party is trying to accomplish and was banned from YouTube, should band together and file a class action suit against Google. They did set a precedent By settling.
