Perspective

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

And these are the assholes that rant over protecting free speech. I know the First Amendment only applies to the government but these assholes are always claiming to support free speech but clamp down on those with opposing views.

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

🖕EX-MAGA REP UNLOADS: “People are sick and tired of the bullshit” Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses Trump White House of “pretending” to deport Ilhan Omar to distract from their numerous lies and failures

How it’s going

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

It seems Gemini is already in post-truth space.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Fox is garbage.

This Too, JD Couch.......

The people who screamed that children would be emotionally scarred by hearing a drag queen read “Jack and the Beanstalk” are OK with those same children watching Pete Hegseth’s livestream of a man getting his brains blown out by a bunch of guns.

"Targeting those who bankroll the Russian war machine through oil purchases will crush Putin's ability to fund his war." — Senate GOP, July 28 Ten weeks later, Trump is making oil deals with Putin. A brief history of Republicans being against this, until they weren't 👇

Notice how Trump did not repeat this lie, one of his favorites, when his boyfriend Xi was here.

Yikes — abc news has fallen… “outright deleted” a story about the Trump boys getting billions in government contracts 🤔👇🏽

Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles’ daughter posts a pic at a training camp with a pro-Russian militia in Bosnia that specializes in destabilization… totally normal stuff! “The photo raises Q’s about White House links to the pro-Russian politician”🤔 www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-...

Isn’t it strange how, when you start being paid by private companies instead of elected by the public, the people become the “mob”? Palantir’s record deserves scrutiny – from politicians and the public. https://bit.ly/47avtHW

Brilliant idea to take a murderer motivated by ideology and publicly martyr him.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Trump: "In Texas, he talks about 'I'm a vaygan I'm a vaygan' he's a vaygan vaygan meaning he likes lettuce"
