Our current Vice President is now using a name that doesn't match the one on his birth certificate, but somehow, I doubt anybody is going to block him from a polling place.

There are 5 Arabs or people of recent Arabic ancestry who have won Nobel Prizes in the natural sciences. There is only one person of Greek background, by the way, a British born chap with a Cypriot father and Singaporean mother.

So which “Arabs” is he mad at? The ones who gave Kushner $2 billion. The ones who gave Trump a 747? The ones who let America build military bases in their countries. Or is he trying to make sure Stephen Miller knows he’s properly racist so he gets an invite to Katie’s next party?

Steve Jobs, Apple? "Steve Jobs, the legendary co-founder of Apple Inc., was born to a Syrian father from a Muslim family background. Jobs' biological parents were Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian immigrant and political science academic, and Joanne Schieble, an American Catholic from Wisconsin."

You can be pretty much guaranteed that 90+% of the rich arsehole intake is all "legacy" intake which exists solely for the purposes of bolstering endowments. I'm sure there are some actually good students that go to them but they're probably mostly on scholarships because they had to work for it.

@literaryhub.bsky.social Fuck off with this nonsense. People do what they want to do. They don't do what they don't want to do. People have moral agency. Fascist racists are fascist racists because they want to be, not because anyone "made them" or because democracy was drunk.

Dan Sullivan is trying to sell Alaska to the highest bidder. He wants to bring in data centers that will drive up energy prices while his family business profits. Alaskans already can’t afford to heat their homes this winter. We can’t afford more of his self-serving agenda.

"Off the record" to hundreds of people while you are mic'd, recorded, and livestreamed. Donald is so stupid. And it's creepy to have a rapist leering at people's bodies.

Trump says he examined Jon Husted’s ass to groans but then says Nikki Minaj has a nice ass to cheers

GREAT THING he's not one of the people who'll have a gavel, huh? Have you considered watching what Jamie Raskin or Robert Garcia have been saying over and over and over? Bc they're the ones whose job that is. See, you have no fucking clue who does what.

Like I said, you have NO FUCKING CLUE what Schumer's job is, and you DO know Dems who you could magnify instead of whining. We seem to agree.

Replying to @rockymtnwanderer.bsky.social

Let's break this down. You want Schumer's job to be something other than it is. You also want some Daddy figure to do a job we all should be doing, and many Dems and Dem activists ARE doing.

You have just described what it's like to live in a world of oligarchic media. When others have lived in oppressive regimes they did not just say, "i'm not being spoonfed so it must not exist."

If lefties continue to makebelieve what actual Dems are actually doing based off Beutler posts rather than learning what they are doing and magnifying it, they are the ones protecting corruption.

Joseph O'Neill@josephoneill.bsky.social

If Dems don't seize hold of the "corruption" theme, Republicans will. And because Dems continue to protect the Republican brand, voters will conclude, not unfairly, that both parties are as bad as each other. Either you're strongly anti-corruption or you're corrupt. No middle ground on this issue.

For you youngs who weren't alive for this: Understand that the Chicks were an early rollout of the far right intimidation that we see targeting judges, members of Congress, and ICE protestors now.

Also: Trump expects strong men and strong countries to do strong things. Zelenskiy and Ukraine exist outside of Trump's reality. Instead of reconsidering himself, he just spews death and hate on those that challenge his world view.

Trump dislikes Zelenskyy because his characteristics are opposite to his own. Zelenskyy is respected throughout the world but Trump is respected nowhere. Not in Russia or China where they play him as the fool that he is. Zelenskyy will survive with his reputation intact long after Trump has gone

1/ Donald Trump's interview with Newsmax yesterday shows very clearly that he subscribes to many false Russian-originated claims and conspiracy theories about the war in Ukraine and has a strong personal dislike of President Zelenskyy. Here's a full transcript:

Trump: we are running low on ammo not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave “massive amounts” of Tomahawks to Ukraine. The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine! Not a single one!

This is dangerously naive. MTG has been in the disinfo and political fuckery world for nearly a decade now, a packaged product pushed into office. She's on a new assignment now, to help with a post-Trump, pro-Russia far right movement that sucks in naive members of the far left. Don't fall for it.

More people need to remember this. Russia doesn’t even have enough fuel for their own use right now, let alone enough to sell and ship abroad. It’s Trump being treasonous to make more money… again.

The only enrichment for the Country has gone into his personal coffers. Everything else has been a degradation of trust in Authority, the Economy, and the Future for balance and equality and justice...

Yet it's not even surprising because everything Trump does is either illegal or immoral.

Replying to @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump even attempting to make this "deal" with Putin is in violation of US law. Despite the fact that Russia almost certainly will not be able to deliver, Trump just agreed to an illegal trade with a hostile foreign nation.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.
