Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand
An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.

Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

In case there was any doubt about Trump’s role in a pedophile ring: the sitting President is pushing a primary challenge against a hardcore Republican because she wants the Epstein files released.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

The white guys, of course, are still screaming WOKE and the rest of the country [minus some white women] is like... "please get help and leave us alone."

I'm sorry, but being cancelled for getting close to neo-Nazis isn't woke, it's just a sign of how unwoke we've all become that the Overton Window has shifted so far that it can go this far before anyone faces consequences for bigotry.

Don’t forget, he also argued for the economic logic of dumping toxic waste in developing countries for a few reasons, including that the cost of health impairing pollution is less where people’s earning potential is lower. Afterwards, he said it was satire. Sure thing Larry. Read his memo here:

Michelle Obama: "In 2010, Oprah sent me a box of Ralph Lauren's first-edition – three suits, seven sweaters – an Oprah-sized gift. Barack told me, 'You can't keep that.' He's like, 'I'm in office. We don't accept gifts!" She added with a smile: "Imagine that?" 🤷🏾‍♀️

"Elon Musk misses deadline" is literally the opposite of news, hope this helps

Seems suboptimal: In key FBI field offices like NY & SF, "statistics show that as much as 40 percent of all agents are now working immigration—an issue not normally on the FBI’s radar at all. Chasing terrorists and spies are normally the FBI’s highest priority" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Kash Patel, the FBI's agent of chaos
The biggest little scandal in Washington right now is how bad Patel is at being FBI director.

Absolute rot.
Megyn Kelly is not just problematic in her defense of Trump and Epstein…she is emblematic of the decline in humanity infesting the Republican Party. The double standard for the definition of a child. The excuses…the rot at the center of the GOP.

Today, the BBC bent the knee.

Yesterday, it came out that a NYT reporter had with emails from Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that were highly damaging to Trump and were never disclosed to the public.

This is on top of WaPo, ABC, CBS all capitulating.
