I was taught to shoot by a man with multiple outstanding DUI warrants at the time, come get me coppers. God what an utter farce. This is just abusing a trafficked woman to make a point about someone on the other side of the planet.

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Brazil just stopped the right-wing wave. Serbia sent Vučić packing. Hungary showed Orbán the door. The world is sending strongmen home. AMERICA, IT'S YOUR TURN! Trump says he's on the ballot. Take him at his word. Vote early, or on Tuesday, November 3. 🇺🇸

Democrats need to state that if this is done, they will have no choice but to turn Trump and his subordinates over to international tribunals for war crimes prosecutions, if Trump makes it impossible to prosecute them domestically. Make subordinates accepting pardons understand the consequences.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

They’ve already started. They filed a suit today to effectively throw out Alaska’s election results if Dan Sullivan (the incumbent) doesn’t win

The corruption of this criminal regime is unimaginable. They, thanks to Project 2025, are loyal to a man and not the Constitution or the people of the country. The traitors are in the house.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Seriously. Nobody asked your goddamn opinion about what a woman can do with her own body. Unless you want mandatory vasectomies that you can pay to reverse later, sit down and shut the fuck up about women's bodies and lives. If you have bodily autonomy, so should women.

Trump is a despot. He answers only to Putin and Netanyahu – because they both have Kompromat on him worse than most people can imagine.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Poland’s foreign minister says US has contributed nothing to Ukraine’s defence since January 2025. EU now pays for US weapons, enriching US defence manufacturers, while Trump threatens to cut off supplies unless Ukraine stops striking Russian refineries.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

thehandbasket.co'Tommy' from viral El-Sayed video is former Sen. Hawley staffer with Christian nationalist tiesThomas Teepell is the son of a former long-time Bobby Jindal staffer who's close to Sean Feucht.
