Underemployed political news junkie, wondering what the hell is going to happen next. There will be swearing. Human rights aren’t negotiable. ACAB. TACO.

Right wing low lives blocked on sight, so don’t even bother.

Am I the only one who remembers that conservatives were leery of Federal power and passionately supported States Rights?

True, it was because many States enforced racist policies. But now that racists are in the White[’s Only] House (and the SCOTUS), they love federal power—no limits!

All Republicans in Congress are faced with a choice. They either stand with Trump, Vance and Putin, or they stand with Ukraine, Europe, most Americans, and the civilized world. Of course, there is also a 3rd option which most of them usually choose - cowardly silence.

It’s a pity that Belgium and now Italy don’t seem to understand this, and are joining Hungary in being Putin’s pawns.
Chancellor Merz:

It’s a war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine,against Europe.If Ukraine falls,it won't end.Just as the Sudetenland wasn't enough in 1938

Putin doesn't stop.Anyone who still believes he's had enough should carefully analyze his strategies,documents,speeches,public appearances

Unearthed audio from the RNC Chair drops a truth they’ve been hiding from their base:
“We are facing almost certain defeat.” 👀

They know their cruelty is wildly unpopular.
We just have to finish the job: organize, vote, and make that prediction reality.

Only one person in today's Jeffrey Epstein photo dump is an adjudicated rapist who refused to give his DNA in that case and has over two dozen accusations of sexual assault including one from his first wife. It's also the same guy who bragged about sexual assault on a hot mic.

As soon as Project 2025 escaped containment after inauguration, Trump was cooked.

It was a Heritage Foundation mind virus and fever dream.

The body is now rejecting it, and Trump will go down with it.

The plan to sabotage the West's infrastructure was formulated by the Soviet Union in the Cold War

It never implemented it because it did not feel it was facing an existential threat

Now it does

We need to get into the mind of Putin's Russia

Collapse the West. Or be collapsed

That's the thinking

European speaking here; we might be ‘friendly’ with America again one day, but we’ll never *be* friends again, not to the extent that we were. You had a simple choice, knowing exactly what he was and what he’d do, yet you still let him back. That’s unforgivable.

There they are, pictured. Two of the three great threats to European democracy; the third being their ally, Putin.

Their weapons will be vast amounts of neo-nazi cash, and in Britain's case, the outdated first-past-the-post system.

We MUST wake up. Urgently!

It was funny, Cheeto got the heritage foundation (who he never heard of during the election, or their project 2025) to make his threats to Indiana for him, only to hide and deny it when they didn’t work. He’s a pathetic coward.

Making this threat was an incredibly stupid thing to do. If he follows through now, he risks a revolt inside his own party over the fact that he's attacking a red state. If he doesn't follow through, he's announcing to the world that he's a paper tiger.
