Impressionante, como a mediocridade do governo se espalhou para a televisão pública com esta velocidade.

O novo comentador da RTP desfiliou-se do Chega por achar que o partido se estava a moderar demasiado. Como entretanto foi banido do X, tomei a liberdade de ir espreitar o Wayback Machine (publicações de 2023).

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

Kamala Harris: "The Supreme Court made the decision that the president would be immune from any of his conduct while in office. So we went into the election with this individual, Donald Trump, knowing that he would essentially be immune from any consequence for misbehavior while in office."

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

Se olharmos para a pagina gov_pt no insta está a ficar muito próxima da da casa branca com comentários a denegrir a oposição. Basta ir ver.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

A video of Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown is now playing at airports across the U.S.

How is this even legal?

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Fine: "We are not one giant human family. We don't all share the same values & frankly some civilizations are superior to others. We used to live in a time where there were civilizations that said it was ok to eat people or ok to sacrifice children. The Hamas culture glorifies death and killing."

Q: You just said this is an unenviable choice, this is an unfortunate consequences. But the president posted a video likening Vought to the grim reaper. So which is it?

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality.

2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."

Kirk hat behauptet, in Leviticus stehe, Homosexuelle sollten gesteinigt werden (Kirk (!) hat falsch zitiert, es ist von Todesstrafe, nicht Steinigung die Rede), und nannte das „God‘s perfect law on sexual matters“. Die Einschüchterungskampagne um Kirks politisches Projekt zu verharmlosen, hat Erfolg

Charlie Kirk DID say stoning gay people was the 'perfect law' — and these other heinous quotes

These are some of his worst comments about LGBTQ+ people made by Charlie Kirk.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.
