Yet again, every accusation is a confession.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Claiming to “save the children,”Republicans are clutching their pearls over non-existent child sex change operations in elementary schools that can’t afford pencils or even have a surgeon on staff. But guns all the time everywhere for everyone no exceptions are fine. You know, to save the children.

The trump regime is blowing up fishermen in boats, bombing schools full of children, threatening to genocide an entire country, murdering American citizens in the streets - but call El-Sayed a terrorist for wanting affordable school, housing and healthcare. Ok.

The bishops showed up for the well-known child-r@ping grifter and now they think they were manipulated for political gain? I had no idea my hand would be chopped off if I put it in the hand-chopping-off machine. FFS.

His late stage dementia is showing. It’s making him say the quiet part out loud again.

Trump: Gas was $1.85 before I made that decision about Iran. I'd do it again. I thought gas would be double or triple. It's a small price to pay.

It’s a cult of stupidity. And r@pe. And alcoholism. And chiId abuse. And xenophobia. And sexism. And racism. And homophobia.

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

The point of the twisted American version of Christianity is for hateful bigots to shield themselves from criticism while using it to spread their hate and bigotry. “It’s not me - this is what it says in the Bible.” Talarico has a few words of correction to say about that. 🧵

The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social

1. I'm late to this, but there's still time for a word on James Talarico's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show. It's important, because I don't think most people on the left appreciate how threatening he is.

This is one of the reasons I ride old motorcycles. An electromagnetic pulse can’t stop them and neither can an angry trust fund baby with a kill-switch or his fascist friends in positions of power.

Every accusation is a confession with Republicanazis.

Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social

This was a weird one -- Laura Ingraham, citing no direct evidence, claimed the existence of a wide-ranging conspiracy of journalists, activists, and Democratic governors to“dissolve” the U.S. Constitution and “crush their enemies.” I tried to track it down. www.mediamatters.org/laura-ingrah...

The Vice President of the rape class is smearing a rape victim.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance smears Amy Acton: "I happen to think that the people of Ohio see through that fraudulent activity for exactly what it is. Somebody said alcohol. You can say it. I can't."

trump brags about having dementia but doesn’t know it because he has dementia. And he’s a rapist.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."

The ANC (and Mandela) were very violent and would not have gotten to where they were without it. The Good Friday agreement came about due to violence. There is no meaningful change that occurs without it throughout history. The violence of protestors is a direct response to the violence of the state

Sandy Hendry@sandyhendry.bsky.social

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

If he just repeated “Awraht, awraht, awraht” for ten minutes straight, it would be more coherent than whatever he said here, which was completely devoid of content.

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

The New York Times@nytimes.com

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

The Christian imaginary friend is a lying sack of shit. 1 Kings 22:23 Ezekiel 14:9 2 Thessslonians 2:11 Jeremiah 20:7 Exodus 3:18-20 2 Chronicles 18-22 Jeremiah 4:10

Markwayne Mullin: "This is affiliated to Prophet Muhammed. It says there's 3 reasons it's permissible to lie. One is war, one is to try to reconcile, one is when you're trying to persuade your wife to stay with you. Where does other religions say it's permissible to lie? Extreme Islam is dangerous"

James Carville is a 500 year old, out-of-touch-with-reality asshole and Bill Kristol is just an asshole.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

Since MAGAts have no identity beyond “me luv daddy trumpy,” expect to see millions of people wandering aimlessly in circles muttering to themselves when their identity drops ded.

Zionist Genocide Benji is a fascist antisemitic European. Israelis are not semitic. They’re not from that land. They’re Eastern European Colonizers who colluded with Nazis. Palestinians are the only semitic people there. Stop conflating Jews with Zionists. Stop using the Jewish religion as a shield.

Taking a short break from fucking the couch in his hotel room, JD Many Names takes some time to openly defend white nationalism.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance makes excuses for white nationalists: "When you demonize a guy because he's white, it's just as evil as when you demonize a guy because he's Black. When you demonize a guy because he's white ... some people will get radicalized into some very dangerous ideas."

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

mancuso18.bsky.social reposted

An aspect of fascism is a nihilistic violence — not strategic, or really designed to achieve anything, besides the violence itself, and insecure men's feelings. Like Hegseth sharing video of boats blowing up. Or trying to do a livestreamed execution. Very good piece by @garethwatkins.bsky.social.

Liberal Currents@liberalcurrents.com

Pete Hegseth "is a loser, following an ideology by and for losers. That means that he is very concerned that other losers prove their devotion to the religion of death by showing indifference to human suffering." @garethwatkins.bsky.social writes today www.liberalcurrents.com/public-execu...

Fuck this guy. trump fucked farmers the first time. trump bragged about committing SA. Fuck this guy and anyone who ever voted for him. And fuck anyone who tells me we should welcome these child-rape supporters. If he got relief, he’d 180 go back to supporting trump. Fuck him. Fuck every MAGAT.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

Republican farmer who voted for Trump twice: “I’ve hurt more under Trump than I have any other president… Trump promised to help the farmers. Instead fuel and beef prices are crushing us and he’s cutting our throat.”

Saying “they” said you can say you’re a lawyer doesn’t absolve you of the lie that you said you’re a lawyer.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Zacharia: "A lot of the misinformation, miscommunication is around the fact that I labeled myself a lawyer. I consulted for a long time many people in the field -- 'Is it ok if I label myself a lawyer?' -- and they said, 'Absolutely. You can call yourself a lawyer. You have a JD'"

musk is four things: a megalomaniac, a drug addict, dumb as a bag of hammers, and a Nazi.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

For fifteen years now, NYT has consistently failed to tells us who Elon Musk is and what his politics are. Indeed, a systematic review of their reporting shows that most of it is bogus or sane washing. It's not that hard to report his views accurately. NYT just doesn't want to do it.

So, you’re pre-admitting the entire GOP is guilty of committing crimes. Coolcoolcool.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump suggests he is going to pardon everyone, including himself: "I'm allowed to do a self-pardon ... I don't want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense"
