According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

The GOP talk about “American values.” But their values are cruelty, corruption, and cowardice. They don’t love America. They love owning it.

Netanyahu tried to dodge his court appearance by claiming a major diplomatic visit was happening today. That turned out to be false. So he showed up in court and then claimed he needed to leave and rest due to bronchitis.

Confirmed by reporters who were there.

Hey Mike Johnson, America has a question for you: What would be someone's motivation for covering-up for a pedophile?

There's only a couple answers:
• Either you're guilty of the same crimes, or
• The accused party is blackmailing you for other very serious crimes you've committed.

Which is it?

many striking and horrible details in that interview with Greta Thunberg, but what really comes across is the gleeful, petty, juvenile sadism at basically every level - from the soldiers to the prison staff to the elected politicians. all of them clearly revelling in it. sick, sick people

Yeah the reason there’s no scar on his ear is because it was staged. The whole thing was staged. It was very, very obviously staged.

A better question would be is why nobody seems interested in investigating that. I mean, I know the answer but still.

Tomorrow, we release the Steady State’s assessment of American democracy—written by former national security officials using the same tools once used to evaluate authoritarian regimes abroad. The conclusion is clear: We are facing an existential threat of growing autocracy here in the US.
