Trump: "We'll take a couple questions from the news. I'm sure they'll be extremely non-hostile and friendly, like JD went through a very friendly interview with George Slopodopolous, who is nice enough to pay me $16 million ... he had to pay $16 million to me."

Or, they grew up understanding Hitler and the Nazis were monsters but then looked more into it and thought: my people.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

P.S. the audio on Tidal is so superior to Spotify that we need a need a new word for superior. Also has a feature that you can transfer your playlists. Switching couldn’t be easier! 😃 #FuckSpotify #FuckICE tidal.com/browse/track...

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Yes, but they parrot the narratives. I wonder how the Bannons, Fox types, etc. are selling this like it’s good for the folks in Kentucky, say?

Pastor shot in the head by ICE with a pepperball as he prayed: “If this is what agents of the T**** admin is doing—to pastors, to journalists, to peaceful protestors in broad daylight—it makes me shudder to imagine what they might be doing to our neighbours who are captive behind closed doors.”

How does the MAGA cult justify this, honestly? Are they gaslighting like North Korea or are they blaming Biden or Hillary or Obama or are they ignoring it altogether? Bailing out Argentina for god’s sake?

A list of billions of dollars and concessions to foreign countries and oligarchs, while shutting down the US government and stripping Americans of healthcare.

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Anyway. Now getting in to The Outsider on HBO. Ben Mendelsohn is *flawless* in this. They sure have a knack for casting the protagonist.

I’m officially going to start reading Stephen King again since taking a break 20 years ago, and I’m excited. Yay.

Ok byeeee
