Gingrich taught young Republicans to demonize their opponents. The Tea Party taught them women and minorities were not real Americans. Trump/MAGA taught them they can hate without consequences. These young Republicans are the latest edition. There is no bottom.

He doesn’t have that power.
But no Republican is going to stop him because he’s doing what they can’t without losing their jobs.

It’s a shame that their deleterious actions can’t just affect their voters.

We are in a very bad place when a vice president can say something that is demonstrably, utterly false, yet there is no rebuke, let alone calls for accountability or impeachment.

“Follow-up” … hmm … that rings a bell, but I can’t place it. Maybe that’s an archaic term? 🤔

“The Biden FBI”

Who was President on January 6?

Donald J. Trump * © @reaDonaldTrump • 1m
THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

Except that the deal was made in 2022. I agree it’s very unusual, and I don’t know what autonomy they will have. I look forward to hearing some informed reports on it (not from Kegsbreath, or MSM, but from actual intrepid reporters).

If I’ve read this correctly, we made this agreement with Qatar in 2022. It is a training site for us to train their pilots on our jet fighters, which I assume means we are selling or already sold them jet fighters.

kennyherbert2.bsky.social @kennyherbert2.bsky.social · 6d

According to what I’m finding online, this was agreed in principle in 2022, to train their pilots on our jet fighters that I assume Qatar is buying from us.

If we ever get control of our government again, we cannot simply look forward; we must look back and hold these criminals accountable.

@turningpoint999.bsky.social You have an account here on BlueSky with zero posts. I wonder why that is? Come on in, the water’s fine. Just be prepared to be called out every time you try to move the goal posts, prop up straw men, toss in red herrings, etc., because we don’t play games.

Trump also claimed he has secured $17 trillion in new investments. Why hasn’t a single reporter followed up on that? “From who?” “From where?” “Why can no one verify anything you claim?”

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 7d

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

He probably folded his arms to restrain himself from causing physical violence. Mike Johnson is one of the most pathological liars in all the Republican Party, and that’s saying something. His “gosh darn it” appearance goes a long way toward covering his lies, but he lies ALL THE TIME.

If anybody thinks Trump intends to “bring back Christianity” (not that the dominant religion went anywhere), this should give you pause. An ICE agent shot a priest in the head with a pepper ball.

PS: pepper ball manufacturers specifically advise against targeting head, throat and spine.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.
