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.
Trump accused of ‘manipulating’ Catholic bishops for political gain ft.trib.al/T4pQtKh
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. 🧵
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.

Every accusation is a confession with Republicanazis.
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 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
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.

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
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"

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.
James Carville is a 500 year old, out-of-touch-with-reality asshole and Bill Kristol is just an asshole.
🤔 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.
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.
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."

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
