I thought it was the stroke that changed the man’s beliefs. Turns out it was just greed and a need for power. Disgusting man.

Sen. John Fetterman received the FEC's maximum allowed campaign donations from billionaire GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, known for his controversial ties to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

I know instinctively that Mike Johnson has inappropriate relations with his son, so can we lock him up?

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.

"This referendum is dead. For the premier to spend taxpayer time and money to resurrect it, would prove what we’ve always known: she’s a separatist." Official statement from the NDP. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The Albertans who are/were so concerned about election integrity that they got rid of vote tabulators and are having a referendum on voter photo ID, seem much less concerned about the breach of the voters list.

If Joe Biden said this he would be successful impeached. With this idiot it is barely news. The bar for these fucktards is so mind blowingly low

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

To be fair, Trump has likely never seen an image of Christ before.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

He is so mind meltingly stupid. But I guess he’s never had to go through customs like a normal person.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Will we see ICE arresting illegal migrants at airports? TRUMP: Yeah. That's why the Democrats are going crazy. ICE loves it because they're able to now arrest illegals as they come into the country. It's very fertile territory.

Someday, Trump will die as we all must, and on that day, his knuckle-dragging fanbase will be scandalized and aggrieved that anyone would breath a negative word about him upon his death. Remind them of days like today when Trump said he's "glad" that Robert Mueller died.

The good news is that when that POS finally dies, and we’re all “Woohoo! So happy!” And the right is responding, like they did with Kirk, “it is shameful to celebrate someone’s death.” we now have the perfect rebuttal. Screen shot Aaron’s post so that you have an instant response.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

The doddering old fool is just threatening us with a good time. A 100% tariff on our oil, potash and so many other goods and commodities tanks the American economy pretty well overnight.

Trump: “If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken … If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products”

On the bright side, if this effort succeeds, the family of Martin Luther King Jr. will make a fortune suing conservatives for selectively quoting him without permission.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

In which the Premier's right-hand man blames both immigrants and the federal government for the strains and stresses in the education system his government is supposed to run. Hey, remember the "Alberta is Calling" campaign? The one that brought many thousands of people to Alberta? I sure do.

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family. Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

johnmtwells.bsky.social reposted

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Remember when the Supreme Court’s rationale for “absolute immunity” was that it would prevent politically motivated investigations against former political opponents?

REPORTER: Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral. Who should the DOJ target? TRUMP: It would be President Obama. And Biden was there with him ... the leader of the gang was Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. He's guilty. This is treason.
