It was everybody business when the Republicans were on Hunter Biden for weeks and weeks.. Of course it’s our business to know who, what, where, this 20 year old is getting so much money from? They Investigated Hunter, time to Investigate Barron Trump..

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowThe Trump administration keeps clashing with faith communitiesLast year the White House said Joe Biden and his administration “abused and targeted Christians.” A year later, the hypocrisy is staggering.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

ms.nowHouse Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein filesThe report — issued just eight days before the election — makes multiple, uncorroborated allegations against the president while also detailing discrepancies in his statements about Epstein.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

LinkedIn removed my post today for "hateful speech." I compared Todd Blanche to Nazi lawyer Hans Frank, quoting from book review: "Hans Frank, the Nazi lawyer who saw Hitler as a gift from God for the German people" Ruth Ben-Ghiat has compared Blanche to Frank. www.historytoday.com/archive/revi...

historytoday.com‘Hitler’s People’ by Richard Evans reviewHitler’s People: The Faces of the Third Reich by Richard Evans asks what manner of men made themselves the Führer’s ‘paladins’.

🔥LinkedIn update: “Initially, your post was removed for going against our policies. As part of our review, we now find that your post doesn’t go against our policies and apologize for the mistake. Your post is back on LinkedIn.” Todd Blanche is Trump’s Hans Frank (Hitler’s personal lawyer)

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"

All this talk about Asses coming from Trump. I just have one question on that topic:

The Sgt Joker@thesgtjoker.bsky.social

Trump wants Americans to talk about Nicki Minaj's and Jon Husted's asses rather than the 240th day of the Never Ending Iran War, the Epstein Files, the Billionaire Class trying to buy another election, fuel prices, grocery prices, housing prices, inflation, or the newest rape allegation against him.

Can’t afford groceries? Furious about ICE’s cruelty? Sick of billionaires buying influence while families struggle? Whether you’re fighting for your rights, your kids, or simply a better life, you’ve got a damn good reason to vote. Only 10 days left. #BlueWaveIn10Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

The Australian newspaper has been claiming a "forensic audit report" shows BoM's temperature data has "widespread error". For 15 years climate sceptics have been claiming a conspiracy around the data. Is anything different this time?

This is the President of the United States just said that Abdul El-Sayed — BORN IN MICHIGAN, a Rhodes Scholar with an MD from Columbia and a doctorate from Oxford — is a physical threat who needs to go through a metal detector before entering the Senate. Why? Because he’s Muslim.

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

I’d love to know who this fiery, patriotic young woman is, so I could follow her social media or Substack. This is EXACTLY how the fuck we should all be feeling about the corrupt, criminal regime that’s infested the White House. This shit has to end. And people like this woman will lead the way.

In the UK in the 1990s BT phone boxes had a physical hack. You could put five pound coins in the slot and then stuff a bit of wire up into the phone. Out came your coins, but it didn't realise. You could chat for five quids worth. Stole 100s from BT with this.
