“On a massive scale, the rallies refuted the MAGA fear-mongering about “Hate America” riots, exposing (once again) Mike Johnson, Karline Leavitt, and Ted Cruz as the retromingent assholes they are.”

I think Israel just wanted to get their hostages out before going back to killing Palestinians indiscriminately.

remember when Donald Trump claimed he had a 'peace plan' for Gaza, and it turned out to actually be the concept of a sketch of a sort of a cease fire? remember how our press shit itself lauding Trump as legendary peacemaking genius? that was fun, wasn't it? the cease fire didn't even last a week

Yeah but Tua wasn’t in litigation, being sued by 22 women for sexual assault, when he got his big contract.

You can’t reason with unreasonable people.

That’s why I don’t waste my breath trying to talk sense into three-time Trump voters. My time is better spent with apathetic and disenfranchised voters.

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

A week after world leaders feted an obese drug addict for ‘Peace in the Middle East’ he casually speaks of displacing Palestinians and building condos in Gaza on a Fox News witch’s morning show. Y’all got played hard MSM.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.

You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "The number one thing we're hearing from voters in terms of what they are frustrated about really is the economy, prices, and what they see as Donald Trump's failure to focus on those things and instead focus on things like prosecuting his enemies."

Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?
