So cute, grown-up Republicans pretending to be horrified by the racist, homophobic, misogynistic, antisemitic messages of their younger counterparts.

Where do they think the kids learned this vile behavior?

Of course, he doesn't think it's serious; this is how Republican men think women should be treated.

I'm sure it's totally normal within the dysfunctional families in which these rotten little racists were reared.

Harrigan needs to look it up first.

Prop 50 provides emergency maps ONLY because Republicans moved forward with their power grab.

“What began seemingly as a putative crackdown on so-called ‘criminal’ immigrants, the ‘worst of the worst,’ has revealed itself to be exactly what it is: a brazen attempt to instill fear in and demand obedience of all Americans.”

What's unfolding in cities is 'terrifying escalation' of what we saw in 1968 Chicago

The action of federal government agents at Donald Trump’s direction demonstrates all too clearly that what his administration really wants is to intimidate American cities.

When you've got roving gangs of armed, masked thugs on the streets beating up peaceful citizens just for the hell of it and throwing tear gas at babies, well, yeah, the shutdown kinda takes a backseat.

You mean the adolescent gang bang that would never happen IRL?

Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.

So much for America First!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 22h

Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?

TRUMP: Just helping a great philosophy take over a great country ... we don't have to do it. It's not gonna make a big difference for our country.

Ugh, I hope not.

Sounds like a threat: that the government will stay shut down until they get whatever they want from the Dems, and that #NoKings had better not happen on Saturday.

That's my take. Bessent has never made any sense to me.

Really? That's disappointing.

Big chainsaw. Compensating much?

Disagree. Gayle King went up in one of Bezos's rockets along with Katy Perry and several other foolish, fembot-dressed females; she doesn't belong in the same grouping with Stephen, or even Burger.

Elle King, OTOH, has real talent, and rejects that idiot RWNJ father of hers, Rob Schneider.
