Tim Pool the Gilded Fool claims "someone pulled up to his house and opened fire", then goes on to say his "security team" is reviewing it and then will "forward it to law enforcement".
If someone is shooting at you, don't you call the cops...oh, I dunno...FUCKING IMMEDIATELY?
Totally. Staged.

Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

I can't afford eggs, my kid has the whooping cough, and the data center down the road has caused my electricity bill to triple. But at least the mascot for my town's high-school football team is still a drunk guy dressed up as an American Indian.

Trump says that price of beef is down. The receipt from my last trip to the grocery store says it is up. For busy shoppers, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.

I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.
