This man changes his mind & his view constantly. He’s like a spinning top. And he‘s supposed to be good negotiator? No. If he was, he would‘ve stuck with the last thing he said about Ukraine: it has chance to win, treaty should restore original boundaries, and there were biz opportunities for all.

Wow, really puts things in perspective. But in Trump’s mind, Ukraine started the war. By invading itself. Or inviting Russia to do it? Still haven’t figured that one out. And war wouldn’t have happened if he’d been President, which he was 2017-20 when they were occupied. And are still at war now.

Thank goodness for Europe. They perhaps were late to see that Trump could not be trusted on anything, but once they saw that, they’ve not wavered from their support of Ukraine. Our dithering, weak, likely treasonous President makes me ashamed to be from the same country as him.

It’s been invoked 30 times yet according to Trumpian history, one President is responsible for 28 of those. (Spoiler alert: not even close to being true. I can’t even tell who he’s trying to talk about.)0 How did he graduate from high school, let alone college?

They thought they were going to get under Newsom’s skin? They just gave him a week’s worth of tweets - & maybe more evidence on Posse Comitatus suit? I feel like the governor having to explain to President why firing live rounds over heads of civilians is bad shows how easily PCA can be violated.

I think Newsom should make him aware of that every chance he gets. As well as expressing gratitude that the CHP officers in JD’s detail were OK since I’ve heard nada from JD on that. And pointing out if Trump & Vance had gotten their way, that shrapnel could’ve fallen on someone’s baby or grandma.

Where have I heard this before? Oh yes, in 2017. McCain gave the Republicans’ nonexistent plan one of the most dramatic thumbs-down in history. Please let them do a vote again where someone else can do the same.

I can understand why Latinos would have a visceral fear of being outside right now, even if surrounded by allies. And Blacks remember that not everyone had their backs in 2020.

Many ppl there were in privileged position to do so & understood they may have been marching for ppl who couldn’t.

I refuse to look at their accounts. But it would be funny if they were muted rather than blocked so they could cry about lack of engagemt rather than thin-skinned libs. Every response to every post should 1/

This is so stupid. They think this is “owning the libs”; low-info voters might think “Wait, a tunnel was destroyed during Sandy & we haven’t fixed it yet? Wasn’t that like forever ago? Thought Trump was supposed to be good at building things.” A lot of red voters live in NJ & NYC too, dumbass Trump.

This deal sickens me. We sent people who were never gang members to Venezuela, some, like Andre Romero, who have a credible fear of being there, in exchange for sending El Salvadoran MS-13 prisoners who are supposed to be SO terrifying but could rat out Bukele’s “law & order” scheme. 1/

Strange that McCain & MTG might’ve allied in 2017 when McCain did his thumbs-down. Yes, MTG voted for the BBB that created this situation, but she understands now what McCain knew then: you can’t take away people’s health care w/o good replacement. Didn’t have one then, don‘t have one now.

I mean, if DJT wants to put himself in the role of the literal king during the War of 1812, that’s kinda obscure but he’s been doing all the hits leading up to the Revolution so maybe he’s trying to mix up his repertoire. 2/2

Not familiar with I-5, don’t know how close marchers would ordinarily get to the I-5. Seems like it would be a major transport route at least? But if marchers safely got pics of them with American flags with smoke from “bombs bursting in air” in the background, that would be one hell of an image. 1/

UPDATE: One judge ordered the body cams to come back in Chicago, horrified by the treatment of civilians there. Also Chicago field director to testify.

I‘d say more radical socialist - maybe even communist - but one thing is for sure, Jesus was no Republican.

It’s amazing how many people profess to be Christians yet have no knowledge of the Beautitudes or many of Jesus’ parables, esp Good Samaritan. Like do they go straight from the worst part of OT to worst part of post-Gospel NT? Skip over the part where Jesus actually says stuff?

Seriously. If that’s how long it takes them to come up with good cover story and erase evidence, maybe there is one honest person at DHS pushing against the rest of them, pointing out the “uhh, you realize they have body cam footage, right?”

that body cam footage, whew, he should lose his job if normal times, and he had gun in his care? Possible DFCS involvement. Buena suerte, capullo! 3/3
