"Hamas, like so many of the neo-Nazis amplified by Elon Musk on X, is basing its antisemitic platform on the deliberate, batshit lies of 1) a roving, raving 12th century celibate and 2) some third-rate Rasputin."

Goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: ALL legacy media is FAILING us right now. WHAT could possibly be more important than covering the fascist GOP’s attack on our Democracy and their never-ending coup attempt? WE are THIS close to losing 247 years of imperfect progress. Tune them out.

📌"If Jordan is not popular in these swing districts, and he is the traitor, Trump’s, handpicked candidate, what does that then say about the popularity of the burnt-orange menace himself, who would need to win these districts if he were to have any hope of securing the presidency?"

Walked in CPR class and they said just pick any dummy. The first thing I thought was why can’t Republicans do this for their leader.

📌As an American, I feel particularly qualified to comment on the truly-awful whenever it crawls out of hell, because where I live, grown men can easily acquire military-grade weaponry at our stores and wander into our schools to hunt down innocent children.

Yep, it's a cult and I don't know how anybody can draw any other conclusions. My grandmother passed before Trump, but hard to believe she wouldn't have succumbed to the bastard. Limbaugh teed him up specially for her ... We overrate humans at our own demise ...

I write stuff like this about my town & this poser, Jason Aldean: " ...better yet, wait until Aldean undoubtedly becomes Trump’s opening act during one of those standup routines, when he menacingly stalks an Iowa cornfield shaking down his groupies to help pay for his endless supply of noxious gas."

LISTEN TO ME MEDIA: Stop soft-selling this Giuliani admission that he lied about election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. This horrific lie PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER and was designed to scare election workers everywhere from doing their duty. This was yet another direct attack on our Democracy.
