Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

this whole “ceremonial roasting of prominent trans girl with screenshots” tactic was chill in 2015 or whatever

anyone still playing that game ten years later in this environment is doing TERF dirty work for them

this post just randomly reminded me that ben franklin was originally a british loyalist and sought reconciliation with parliament

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

Gorby didn’t know it was rude to ask Dallasites such questions

Mikhail Gorbachev popped in at the Texas state fair in Dallas, where he inspected Clydesdale horses and cars and munched on a corn dog.
The former Soviet president paid a surprise visit to the fair Tuesday, when he had some spare time before a speech at Southern Methodist University.His whirlwind tour happened on a cow-milking demonstration that piqued his interest.
"Are you farmers, or are you city folk?" Gorbachev, speaking through an interpreter, asked a small crowd that seemed amused at his questions. "Do you have cows?"
Gorbachev also explored the midway, sampled beef jerky and checked out livestock.

Doocy: Does this help get you into heaven?

Trump: I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven. I think I’m not heaven bound.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
