I thought Cassidy was a spineless coward before Trump kicked him out of the party and primaried him out of his job. But now, it's clear that he's just evil to the core.
McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.
What's actually changed is that the people we disagree with have become swept up in a cult that protects pedophiles, hinders public health, dismantled everything good about our government, and installed a mass murderous dictator at the top of our government.
Amazing how many people over the last few years have moved from person I sometimes disagree with, to person I disagree with who is also unpleasant online, to genuinely bad person whose soul has warped beyond recognition. the politics of our times are like a solvent for decency.

I appreciate his opposition to slavery, but the Bible literally gives specific instructions about owning generations of people and discriminating in the ownership and treatment by race.
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
Never take a cop's word for anything, and double especially if they are ICE.
Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.
When you become too brain damaged to form a coherent sentence, Republican start making sense to you.
Fetterman: You know every time you tell voters to say oh it’s ok, no problem here, no problem here, people—people though they have eyes, they have ears, they’re appalled by it to across you know people then you lose your credibility.

It's downright treasonous.
Going on foreign soil and announcing, without *any* evidence that American elections are dishonest—simply because you are a lying sore loser—should be an impeachable offense. Presidents should not be allowed to intentionally undermine confidence in the US to leaders overseas.

Don Lemon for President!
A few things Don Lemon would do as president: I’d get rid of all that tacky shit that’s there. I would tear down that tacky ballroom—that garage-mahal-looking ballroom. I would strip that stupid-ass blue paint off the reflecting pool. And then I would tear that tacky arch down.

Just imagine something like this happening on Mars. And it will eventually. Humans should stay in their luminously beautiful home, keep it clean, protect & preserve it & send AI-robots instead, if at all. 🌎 [There is a strong argument to simply leave Mars alone. But that's for another day.] 🛰️ 📰

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...
If the U.S.A. can't keep the fingers of the criminally insane away from the nuclear button, no country can or ever will. In other words, nuclear war is an inevitability. We can try to delay it, but it will eventually happen:
Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

I have a slightly different take. Yes, the government of Iran is evil. But the government of the USA is also evil....and so are any soldiers who remain after seeing the Trump administration purge all competence from their leadership in favor of sycophancy. They are obeying illegal, war crime orders.
Guys, listen. We can-and should-debate the wisdom of the war in Iran. You all know I’m not a fan. I’m never going to root against one of ours coming home, though. You shouldn’t either. If politics has you rooting for people who want to kill Americans, you should take a step back.

In order to provide Americans with some relief from the long waits at Airports, the Trump administration will send in the gestapo to harass them while they wait. Always looking out for the people.
Homan on ICE: "We're doing a security function at the airports. We're gonna arrest criminals going through airports, we're gonna look for human trafficking, sex trafficking, money launder-- ah, you know, money smuggling"
A potential silver lining to AI:
How can you convince someone to abandon conspiratorial or pseudoscientific beliefs? Have them debate an LLM. Or so some new studies suggest. I wrote about why AI may be uniquely effective at countering misinformation (even as it also helps to spread it) www.vox.com/technology/4...
I have a slightly different take on this. I think Trump is actually good at politics, in-so-much as politics involves manipulating people. He's an idiot savant in that. It's true he barely won, but the fact that he won at all while being orange, deranged, obnoxious and vulgar demonstrates talent.
trump's margin of victory in 2024 is smaller than literally every president of the 21st century and like bush, he lost the popular vote the first time. the most recent election that could maybe be called a "landslide" was obama in 2008 but he's black so trump says that doesnt count.
This is a whole genre in this country: The heartwarming story that actually reveals the ugly underbelly of the USA.
I hate this. Folks who work their entire lives should be able to retire with dignity and some peace. This story may have a happy ending, but for far too many seniors it does not. 📌 Richard Pulley, 78, was forced out of retirement and had to take a DoorDash gig after his wife lost her job.

I had a Talarico supporter tell me the reason he preferred Talarico over Crockett is because he thought Dems lost the presidential election by being too radical and so we needed more moderate candidates. Talarico is quite a bit to the left of the 2024 ticket, but they equate white with moderation.
I’m talking about the quieter ones who shrugged and said, Jasmine Crockett cannot win because “Texas isn’t ready,” then call the White guy the safe bet. They rarely led with his actual qualifications. Just comfort level. That isn’t strategy. It’s passive racism dressed up as political realism. 3.
It's not possible for Trump to be a lame duck president. Because he operates with no regard for the law or any constraint from other branches of government. Dem majorities in Congress will not stop him, because he has control of all the mechanisms by which power actually exercised.
Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

Guys, the party who lost the presidency to a deranged convicted felon totally knows what they're doing. Trust.
With the dem's lead in the generic ballot, people on here basically have two choices: Dems know what they are doing and people on here complaining don't What dem's say doesn't matter in which case... your complaints appear to be pointless.
1st Democrat I've heard recognize the fact that we're tired of hearing them pander to Republicans.
She’s making it happen, y’all. @jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would. “55% of the people that showed up on day one don’t normally vote in a primary. In fact, 20% of those voters were first-time voters.” 💥
Democrats infuriate me with this shit.
Democrats. For the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY! Stop chasing conservative votes. They are NEVER going to vote for you. It doesn't matter how hard you are on crime or immigration, they'll just tell their mindless followers that you aren't and that's literally all it ever takes. We. Don't. Need. Them.
