Donald Trump posting a video of himself shitting on millions of protestors shows what little respect Hillary Clinton has for regular Americans.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

IHUFFPOSTI
"Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

I will give the $230 million to charity

I won't touch the East Wing when adding the ballroom

I have no plans to implement the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 which I've never heard of

At some point the only thing that makes sense is for newspapers to just use "lied" instead of "said" for him.

Everything happening in the U.S. now is easier to understand when you stop thinking a political party took power and realize instead that an organized crime ring did.

Cuomo: Okay look I want to go after “Momdami” (sic) for having terrible policies and only winning because he does dances on TikTok.

Got it boss. How about a TikTok video? We can use AI, which all the tech bros who support you tell me is super cool.

Cuomo: Go for it.

Twitter used to be the place where reporter talked to experts in the sciences, humanities, social sciences, law, medicine, etc., but the experts all left but reporters did not.

Now reporters only talk to guys who do computers (but haven't coded in at least a decade). It shows.

"Millions and millions of people marching in the largest protests in modern US history was the first I was even aware they were angry! Because I hang out on Twitter and nobody talks about it there.

"Welp, back to hanging out there, where I'll never hear about it. This is fine."

One of the most telling admissions. I saw some follow up from him & it was clear that he misses why.

The point is that without the massive protests *he wouldn't have known all the outrage even exists* bc he never hears about it on X where he hangs out & gets his info.

And that's why we protest.

"Theya not benefitting, theya dying!"

Trump thinks "benefitting" means "thriving", demonstrating that there's yet another simple English word that he doesn't understand.

The ACA was gutted by Democrats. you can argue those key democrats could've been siding with what many see as the more liberal/patient centered options. or you could say it was unfortunate that Dems didnt have 60+ more liberal senators.

but it was Democrats.

Mary K. @maryk1958.bsky.social · 1d

Ok, but maybe you need to re-work that a bit. Also, you could also acknowledge that the original ACA was gutted by Republicans before it was finally passed, which is partly why it has been a problem for some.

Some say it's fun trolling and it's great, some say not so great, in any case both sides do it..... (click)

I realize he was probably heading to some extremely mild judgment of Trump for proudly shitting on peaceful protestors but the mealy mouthed wind up made me nauseous so I didn't wait.

I laughed out loud watching Anand take Cuomo out to the woodshed so politely.

So what does it say about you that this 33 year old with so little experience trounced your so badly in the primary? And by the way have the respect to pronounce his name right you racist fossil.
