Democratic leadership continues to fail everyday. Now we have Jeffries praising Trump…Oy!! 🤦♀️
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

the main problem with British politics is that transphobia brainworms infected basically all of their elites (which, yes, everyone being too online)
you cannot effectively fight back against people who want ethnic purges when you want gender purges

a lot of it genuinely comes down to the fact that almost all their elites were too online on X and the post-Musk thing has basically driven the socially conservative, fiscally socialist types insane (see e.g. the Blue Labour guy) and the right is basically now calling for ethnic purges
The UK is weird and getting weirder right? Thats not my imagination? I know that's rich coming from an American, but still, I'm right on this arent I?

Just pure, unhinged anti-Muslim bigotry, racism, and hate against Somalis, Afghans, and immigrants of color from the White House and mainstream GOP.
Curious to see how the establishment can continue condoning this as doing politics "the right way."

If Barack Obama did this, there would’ve been impeachment articles.
Every day Marco, you remind us of the one thing Trump did do that is worthy of some prize: His nickname for you. “Little Marco.” Trump did get that right. He really did.

It woud be helpful if more people understood that a man who says and thinks such monstrous things now has enough money to purchase private armies and sway elections. We can solve part of this problem with two words: wealth tax.
it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi

Two things:
1) How can people floating in open water continue a drug run? Swim a thousand miles towing a crate?
2) More importantly, drugs are not weapons, and a drug run is not a national security threat, especially not an immediate one to the world's most powerful navy.
