@radiofreetom.bsky.social what should be pointed out is that, number one, that Trump is lying about Iran's ability to strike America with a nuclear bomb. And two, the crowd cheered because that is what they wanted.
I think the Los Angeles thing was just a garbled stupid thing that came out differently than he intended, but Jill is right in general that his jokes are not really jokes
If you think California is taking a while to count votes, wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein files…
Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, an American journalist, has been detained for over six weeks in Kuwait under new security and fake news laws. The Kuwaiti government must release our friend and colleague immediately. Journalism is NOT a crime. Sign the petition here. #freeahmed#FreeAhmedEldin
@peterbakernyt.bsky.social do you think ICE agents realize that they're being ordered to be terrorize people until someone attacks them? The goal is for some of them to get killed
@piperformissouri.bsky.social rural Dems should talk about ARPA a lot more. There are a lot of infrastructure projects I see happening, even now, that are using money from something Democrats had to beg Rs to vote for.

Aside from those in positions of power, I honestly don’t understand the people who want to live in a dictatorship. Why would you want to forfeit your voice?
Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about Joe Biden forgetting someone's name, yet we still do not have a book about the fact that dozens of people who have been in sustained contact with Donald Trump say that he is borderline illiterate and not just euphemistically
The US President just went on national television and got asked a very simple question about honoring people's constitutional rights and he said HE DIDN'T KNOW!!! We probably should have known when he didn't put his hand on the Bible at his inauguration.
I know we gotta get out of the habit of smarty pantsing at people but the misuse of inverse here, even aside from being wrong about everything, is a classic example of uncommonly clever / uncommonly stupid.
RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."
It’s amazing that one person can run six companies, manage the entire federal bureaucracy, and be model parent to 13 children.
Truly a triumph of time management.
A professor was lecturing to his English class: “In English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, a double negative is still a negative. However, there's no language where in a double positive can form a negative.”
A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”
Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.
"Justice Samuel Alito spoke to President-elect Donald Trump by phone Tuesday to recommend one of his former law clerks for a job in the new administration."
SCOTUS is currently considering Trump's emergency petition to block his sentencing in the New York hush money case, scheduled for Friday
Jan 6th is a reminder to me: cowardice spreads like wildfire… this country needs leaders who are willing to tell the people the truth, not pander to lies
