Looks like the Russians like his Russia tie. It’s not red-white-blue either. It’s red-blue-white. Like the Russian flag. For a meeting with Zelensky.

Today was not only about peace, togetherness, and America, it was also about happiness. The political Right today is a miserable malignant lot, many of them dopamine addicts living rush to rush. Today was a good reminder - we're way more balanced, centered, and content.

Facts:

President Calvin Coolidge was sworn into office by his own father, John Calvin Coolidge Sr.

President Lyndon Johnson was sworn into office by U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes.

Mike Johnson's refusal to swear-in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is felonious! Swear her in! Now!

It’s weird to see criticism of the peaceful “No Kings” rally at the Capitol from the same Josh Hawley who literally fist-pump cheered the violent January 6th rally at the Capitol.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Not everyone in the Trump WH was oblivious to Santos' other incidences of financial malfeasance or Nancy Marks' who was Lee Zeldin's babysitter & long time campaign treasurer. Ask Zeldin or Howard Lutnick why Crosby & Ottenhoff were brought into the Zeldin For NY state campaign in March 2022.

Question: I have a 55 min long tape of a tel convo I had w George Santos from March 2023 in m4a format. How can I share safely? Nothing on it's a big deal but it shows how Santos would talk to anyone. I did share some stuff he later told me w an FBI special agent in Miami & one in Manhattan.

The latest AP-NORC poll had Trump at 37% approval, but, sure, lean into Trump-is-King. Good idea.

MAGA really doesn't know how to think about anything except to take the opposite position of their enemies, real or perceived.

Constant Scream @ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 7h

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

Jd Vance posted an AI video of trump as a king. Complete with crowned and sword. They fucking love their kings..

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

I doubt Trump or Ed Martin know the extent of George Santos' wrongdoing. The $800k from the Ruiz family, the $80k to Ric Grenell masked as donations to charity, kicking back a $238k commission to a big GOP donor, laundering a bribe on behalf of Joe Cairo, secretly funded fundraiser....

capitolhunters @capitolhunters.bsky.social · 1d

Jan 6 remains a center around which our politics revolves. Trump helps those who helped him try to seize power. Santos was sentenced to over 7 years in prison for wire fraud and identity theft. Today Trump freed him. Ed Martin says he was "honored" to help "make clemency great again". 3/

This is the beauty of BlueSky. No-one will be force-fed this via algorithm. Trolling draws blocks rather than amplification.

David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social · 1d

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

The Acosta "immunity" deal for co-conspirators has been public knowledge for quite a while now.
It is the likely cause for his resignation in 2019.

The reporting of one of the prosecutors and his comfortable relationship with #Epstein is news to me.
Not a surprise at all, but more confirmation.

Someone who saw the evidence in that case and wanted to have dinner with Epstein is not anyone who should be allowed near children.
