For the life of me, I don't understand him or his government.

Labour were wandering in the wilderness for years, then, when finally returned to power with a sweeping mandate, they... fuck it all up and pave the way for a Nigel Farage premiership?

Is it too late to turn the ship around?

This @jvl.bsky.social piece gets at something I was trying to warn about years ago: People using "Antifa" as if it's a real organization, with an HQ and membership, were just laying out the foundation for Trump to say "Okay, you win, you're a real thing." /1

Are YOU Antifa?

TRUMP LIT THE GERRYMANDERING FUSE

*Direct response to Trump’s push for red states like Texas to redraw their maps to disenfranchise Democrats and elect more Republicans

*Trump’s redistricting pressure campaign could net the GOP up to 12 unearned House seats

*CA Democrats are mirroring the GOP's power grab to keep the playing field from tilting entirely red

YES ON 50

Gosh, I dunno, but The Free Press sure has the scoop on him.

Say, who owns The Free Press, anyway...🤔

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

My grandfather fought with Antifa forces in the Pacific in WWII, winning a bronze star with two oak leaf clusters.

He is buried in Arlington.

A lifelong Republican, he would be appalled by the state of his party today.

Fuck these fucking monsters.

This is pure evil. Pure, unalloyed, black-hearted, diabolical evil.

It must be abolished.

Eight-year-old Donny just found out that everyone dies eventually, and he's freaked out.

P.D. White @whitepatrick.com · 4h

He knows he's a bad person with one foot in the grave.

And I think he's freaking out a bit.

And it brings me immense joy.

Thank you.

At the end of the day, it is up to the voter to get off his/her/their ass and actually vote.

And last November, anything but a vote for Harris was a vote for Trump.

It really is that simple.

Let me get this straight, #MAGA:

• Hunter Biden getting a job by trading on his father's name is bad.
• Barron Trump getting a job by trading on his father's name is good.

Is that about it?

Please correct me if my memory is not accurate.

Didn't the MAGA Republicans spend the entire Biden presidency trying to impeach him based on allegations that he abused his office for his family's financial gain?

And why is it now ok for a president’s son to get a company board job?

The GOP has had 16 years to "come up with something better" and hasn't even gotten close to starting.

Why? Because it's fucking *hard work,* and MAGAs would much rather do Fox interviews and podcasts than crunch numbers and solve problems.
