@NJBeisner Candace is a psychopath stalker

“Out of respect for their marriage, I won’t get into too much detail about the time before he met Erika—but Charlie was totally obsessed with other women, and Charlie was just using Erika.” I would never be caught dead saying this about another woman’s husband if I knew him before she did. I don’t care how much I hated her.

@PeteButtigieg 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Instead of trying to earn more votes, Republican officials across the South are executing a systematic effort to dismantle Black political representation in Congress through gerrymandering. It's time for broad reforms to end this kind of gerrymandering for good.

@TheTNHoller @brotherjones_ Isn’t he from California?

Rep. @brotherjones_ in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

@BillKristol Irrelevant

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

@GenFlynn @POTUS We are Sparta and Athens. China is not of the west. They are an authoritarian behemoth that treats its population like sheep. And Xi is just another emperor.

Breaking (the internet): CCP President Xi’s use of the term, “Thucydides Trap” during his opening comments to @POTUS has everyone wondering … WHAT THE …. ? Xi’s remark on the Thucydides trap is a classic piece of Chinese diplomatic signaling; polite on the surface, however, very sharp and pointed underneath. It’s a reminder to our president (and the world) that Beijing (Xi) sees itself as the rising power in a structural rivalry with a (supposedly) established hegemon (the U.S.), and that any failure to accommodate China’s ascent risks major conflict which the United States cannot afford (and there is practically zero support from the American people currently for more war and Xi knows it). Examining it another way, President Xi stated it intentionally to show China as Sparta (rising, dynamic, rightful heir to greater influence) and the U.S. as Athens (established but fearful and in decline). To some students of warfare, this may be an imperfect analogy, but the fact he used this phrase must be clearly and thoroughly examined. Xi is signaling that the U.S. should step back gracefully, especially on Taiwan (and never lose site of what Xi has already said about Taiwan; One (1) China, and he’s not backing down), checking trade & tech restrictions, and increasingly regional dominance, rather than the U.S. attempting to further impede China’s “rejuvenation” efforts. Essentially, it was a veiled warning: Push too hard (ie., on Taiwan or decoupling), and structural tensions could lead to an extremely dangerous place. Lastly, I believe Xi’s use of this ancient theory on warfare is explicitly tied to Taiwan tensions. At the same time, it’s cooperative language as well. Typical use of smart diplomatic double speak the Chinese are masters at. Xi addressing a new paradigm, a brighter future for humanity because he knows the world is watching and listening and studying. This is standard CCP diplomacy that keeps the door open for deals while putting the onus on the U.S. to avoid escalation. Bottom line, and like it or not, he let Trump know you’re in my house now and we set the rules here. FYI only, Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War. The War (431–404 BC) was a devastating 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. It was driven by Sparta’s fears of growing Athenian (ie., U.S.) imperialism, the war ended with the total defeat of Athens, fundamentally altering the ancient Greek world and ending its “Golden Age.” The Peloponnesian war lasted more than two decades. I’d say we’re somewhere in the late third quarter and time favors the watchmakers and not the watch-watchers. We need to keep in mind that @realDonaldTrump isn’t the only one who understands nor read the art of the deal.

@GenFlynn @POTUS The Chinese are not Spartans

Xi is the one in decline. China has many many problems and cracks in their system. Xi has made many enemies, their population is in decline and their young people are staying home like couch potatoes. Oh, and their military hardware is crap. Trump has also shut them out of South America.

@GavinNewsom @brotherjones_ Justin Jones is from California. Maybe he should go back if he hates Tennessee so much.

MAGA Tennessee Republicans want to erase the only Black-majority district in the state. @brotherjones_ stood up and FOUGHT. Then he was stripped of his committee assignments. Let's call this what it is: VOTER SUPPRESSION. Voting rights are civil rights. History will remember who stood where.

@NJBeisner We need to deprive Candace Owen of oxygen and ignore her. She is a sick woman, and evil.

This is Candace straight up saying in a video released today that Charlie initially wanted to “use Erika to make another girl jealous.” Not only does this contradict Charlie’s entire persona and the character we came to respect him for, it also contradicts Charlie’s own retelling of the story, on multiple occasions. To hear Charlie tell it, he had dinner with Erika with the purported possibility of hiring her, but he was so taken with her at that initial dinner that he said he couldn’t hire her because he wanted to date her. Erika’s reply was something along the lines of suggesting friendship initially, and it was Charlie who essentially said, “I have enough friends. I want to date you.” Which is honestly pretty sexy, just to be frank. Again, that is Charlie’s own retelling, on multiple occasions. So why was Charlie lying to us repeatedly?

@ItsTheEnforcer @freeman010 He must have been talking about China.

Xi Jinping called the U.S. a “declining nation” straight to the President’s face… wow

@DavidJHarrisJr They always cheat

Hakeem Jeffries: “Republicans have concluded that they need to cheat to win.” Thoughts?

@VolodimirZelen1 🤣🤣🤣

Elon Musk en Chine. L’homme le plus riche du monde est complètement défoncé, et il accompagne un président sénile le plus corrompu de l’histoire des États-Unis. Les chinois vont les bouffer.

@its_Lexieroy So?

🚨TRUMP JUST CALLED TWO FEMALE REPORTERS “STUPID”… AGAIN In case anyone’s keeping count: Today alone, he called not one, but TWO female reporters “stupid” to their faces. This isn’t a one-off. He’s going to keep doing it. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody in that room — or in his own party — has the spine to stop him. When does the press corps finally push back? Do YOU think this is acceptable behavior from the President of the United States? YES or NO?

@BreitbartNews Why didn’t Biden or Obama go for it? They had everything? Because there is absolutely nothing there.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY): "I am almost certain right now that there is a lot more material that would implicate Donald Trump in some aspect of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking conspiracy. And I don't mean necessarily that Donald Trump is guilty of being a co-conspirator, but he was involved in some way, and perhaps in more ways than have been we even know about. And that is being covered up."

@Laurieluvsmolly @marceelias @MakeTexasBlue22 Good? You mean like Joe Biden?

@marceelias @MakeTexasBlue22 They fail to realize that Clyburn is VERY GOOD for SC because of his status, he brings a lot from the federal govt. And when a Democrat is elected POTUS in 2028, Clyburn will be even more beneficial for the state.

🚨BREAKING: South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) is expected to call lawmakers back for a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map and eliminate its lone majority-Black district. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/so…

@TheJenniWren @krassenstein @piyushmittal @RepJenKiggans Cultural Marxist nonsense

@krassenstein @piyushmittal “Cotton-picking hands” is not a figure of speech. It is a direct invocation of slavery — designed to remind a Black man of his place. @RepJenKiggans heard it used against Hakeem Jeffries and said THAT’S RIGHT. If that doesn’t make your blood boil, check your pulse. #JimCrowJen

BREAKING: Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans tried to get this interview removed after agreeing with the host, who called Hakeem Jeffries hands “cotton picking hands”. Don’t let her get away with it. She must resign immediately.

@krassenstein White people picked Cotten too. Quit calling everything racist.

@kaitlancollins Because Trump’s kids are not crack addicted sex addict felons

James Comey: "The Biden Justice Department indicted the president's son. Can you imagine that happening today? Honestly, while you're shaving, MAGA supporter, look in the mirror and say, could that happen today? And the answer is no, which is a really bad thing."

@EYakoby Disgusting

Pope Leo XIV bestowed the Vatican’s highest diplomatic honor upon the Islamic Republic’s Ambassador, Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari. The man is part of a regime that slaughtered 42,000 of its own people and imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to Christianity.

@benignantShelly @DataRepublican It’s not all his money. He’s getting it from somewhere else.

@DataRepublican Soros must have more money than Elon Musk. He's been funding Democrats and paying for protests for half a century and never runs out of money. OR... you're an idiot.
