As a citizen, I am opposed to the president talking about arresting journalists.

OK, direct question for any MAGAts out there. Imagine it was your daughter, passed out in that frat room. Imagine Trump was a frat bro on that text chain. What do you think he would have done? You know what he would have done.

We no longer are a shining city on the hill. We now merely have them. Brought to you by people who do not understand the difference.

“Ours is the house on the block with the weeds and peeling paint these days. The mansion on the hill that has lost its luster, it’s once flowering trellises overrun with prickly thorns and dying reeds. A garden that once reached towards the sun gone dry and neglected.” noelcasler.substack.com/p/the-

Christ, you're the governor of the entire state. Shut the building down. It's not sovereign territory like a foreign embassy. Pull the certificate of occupancy. Cut the power. Back it up with state police. Stop coddling fascists and groveling every time they order you around. Act like an American.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey said that federal immigration officials were continuing to bar her from entering a detention center in Newark, raising “serious questions about what is happening behind its walls.”

Turns out AI doesn't actually mean Artificial Intelligence, it means Average Intelligence. It's a technology for producing a result that the average person could provide, given enough time. The problem is that the average person is pretty fucking stupid.

Hey, I’m all for putting data centers anywhere a company want them as long as they: -produce their own power from renewable sources. -emit no noise or light pollution. -consume no fresh water for cooling purposes. -pay the same tax rates as everyone else.

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

This, I’m glad you are finally rowing in the same direction as the rest of us but I won’t forgive your choices. I will remember who you are and spend the rest of my life calling you out for it.

If 47 were an agent of Russia, bought with blood & money in the 1980's and tasked by Putin with destroying America in any way possible, what would he be doing different? This is Putin's legacy. Not the resurrection of the USSR but the destruction of the American hegemony that brought it down.

Congratulations to the US armed forces for recovering their colleagues in such dangerous and difficult circumstances. True examples of the best we can be. Now, end Operation Epstein Distraction, release the Epstein files, and arrest the perpetrators.

No matter what happens… Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what.

Wars can only be declared by Congress. Taxes can only be levied by Congress. Spending can only be appropriated by Congress. Laws can only be passed by Congress. Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

If ice wasn’t terrorizing their communities they would not have to wear masks. Their police do not have to wear mask. If ice treated people respectfully and lawfully they would not have to hide their faces.
