I distinctly remember the finger wagging across media about how Charlie Kirk supporters were about “debate” and not racist 🙄

Still waiting for the 2020 voter fraud evidence they claim they have to be presented under oath. Enough with the GOP being coy- it's put up or shut up time.

I’m surprised MAGA hasn’t announced their own No Kings rally by now, unless they know deep down only a few hundred would show up

I want nothing less in 2028 than an AG in style of the prosecutors at Nuremberg but also in a very bad mood all the time

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
