Who had "Republicans accuse anyone who doesn't want a king of hating America" on their 2025 bingo card? They're not even pretending to support constitutional republican ideals anymore. #NoKings

@rachaelmbade But but but @RepJeffries said the Dems never ever use the suffering of the American people as leverage. This post is a prime example of how Democrats only care about getting a win, not actually what’s good for America. Party over country.

NEW: If TRUMP thought dispatching ICE agents to airports would force Dems to blink in the never-ending DHS shutdown standoff, he’s in for a rude awakening ... I checked in with a bunch of Democratic lawmakers and top staffers yesterday. Their response wasn’t just unfazed; at times, it was downright giddy. The way they see it, Trump’s move screams desperation and that the White House fears getting blamed. Their thinking: If the White House is this rattled, Dems can squeeze even harder. Some are even betting Republicans will cave as soon as this week. Read & Subscribe: rachaelbade.substack.com/p/scoop-dems-d…

@mysteriouskat I dont think this is feasible. However, the best part of this idea is that it would focus debate into one forum where the people who have actual facts will "beat" the conspiracy theorists who do their research on Google. That forum would be useful to society.

Before someone is allowed to post on social media, they should be able to pass a test on their ability to discern what is true and what is false. If they fail, they have to take a course on source evaluation & misleading framing.

@GregNice1228 @MacFarlaneNews Oh, is that what you all are telling yourself these days? That he was framed and the docs he refused to return are related to that. If that were all, why wouldnt he just have copies made on fay one, then given them back? The mental gymnastics you do must be exhausting.

@MacFarlaneNews The Mar a Lago raid was to try and recover the evidence Trump had that they tried to frame him. It’s most definitely connected.

When asked about Trump’s “I’m glad he’s dead “ post about Robert Mueller on NBC, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded by talking about Trump’s anger at Mar-a-Lago raid That wasn’t Mueller’s case. That was Jack Smith’s case NBC pushed back about why that would even matter. Bessent dug in

@Shadow__Pro @BriannaWu Don't you think making deals with other lawmakers to vote a certain way so that you can be sure your legislation, which benefits your constituents, pass is doing exactly what's in the best interest of those constituents? Without deals everyone would just vote no to everything.

@jimwillows @BriannaWu Sure, and yet the incentives don't line up for divergence, doing so comes at great expense. I'd prefer if reps are solo and answer only to their constituents, not a given party line. Moreover, it changes what a winning platform looks like district to district.

The fatal flaw of Republicans is inherent selfishness until things affect them personally. The fatal flaw of Democrats is we are so invested in equality we have a blind spot to things that can hurt us. Like radical Islam, or gender ideology threatening the civil liberties of actual transsexuals. I will proudly vote for Democrats, but it’s clear to me we need each other to have a functioning society.

@BuenoForMiami @wanglaurentceo Maybe you should have Googled "blockade" before you responded. It's not that Cuba couldn't function on their own, it's that the Trump administration is actively blocking them from functioning.

@dantypo More like an ex that told the truth about you and you didnt like it. Or a biz partner who ruined you by pointing out your illegal behavior. Or getting sued for a fender bender you caused. These are more apt comparisons.

I agree that Trump’s send off to Mueller was crass and unnecessary. But I defy you to think of the worst person in your life and say something good when they die. A husband who hurt you. An ex that lied about you. A business partner that ruined you. A fender-bender that tried to sue you into oblivion. It’s easy to say “you shouldn’t” when you’ve never been. Imagine you worked your way to the highest position on Earth and then a man knowing it was all BS spent 12 months summoning you and everyone you know before prosecution trying to create a truth that’s all lies. So yeah, putting myself in his shoes, I’d find grace a little hard to pin point.

@Shadow__Pro @BriannaWu Theres no set rule now for all Dems or all Repubs to vote the same way, except for the alliances and coalitions within each party. In theory any lawmaker could change their entire party's mind by making the best argument in support of their ideals.

@jimwillows @BriannaWu There is no set rule that the same reps converge on every single issue and it would make things more honest in the sense they would deal based on the interest of the district vs a given party platform. I am not saying it is perfect or may even work, but what we have now sucks.

@Shadow__Pro @BriannaWu Think that thru a bit more. We abolish all parties so then individual lawmakers start forming coalitions w each other. Then those coalitions form alliances with other coalitions. Rise and repeat and within 5 years we are right back to having 2 parties.

@JonathanPieNews @tmoir0 What makes it even worse is that he says he's glad he's dead so that Mueller cant "hurt innocent people" anymore but we all know Trump wasnt innocent of anything Mueller investigated, which makes his response all that much more depraved.

Just saw this and was about to post something amusingly ironic along the lines of : I'm sure Trump will be magnanimous in his response to a former foe. Then I saw his response and even my jaw hit the floor. Bush: "He helped prevent another terrorist attack on US soil." Obama: "One of the finest directors in the history of the FBI" Trump: "I'm glad he's dead." The current President of The United States is not a normal human being. He's a vicious, crude, unhinged cunt of a man.

Anonymous I run a small pizza shop. Deliveries mostly. Late nights. Got a call at 10 PM. Woman’s voice shaking. “Can you deliver to Sunset Motel?” “Yes ma’am. What would you like?” Long pause. “What can I get for six dollars? I have three kids.” Six dollars wouldn’t cover one pizza. “We have a special tonight. Family meal. Three pizzas, breadsticks, drinks. Six dollars.” No such special. She started crying. “Really?” Made the pizzas myself. Added wings. Cookies. Juice boxes. Drove it over. She opened the door. Bruises on her neck. Three little kids behind her. Terrified. Quiet. “Thank you. You don’t understand.” I did understand. Started happening weekly. She’d call. I’d have a special ready. Month three she didn’t call anymore. Worried me. Two months later she walked in. Different person. Confident. Had a job. Apartment. Kids looked healthy. Happy. Handed me three hundred dollars. “For all the specials that weren’t real. I knew.” Tried to refuse. “Please. Let me pay forward.” That money started a fund. When someone calls from a shelter or motel desperate, we use it. Six years now. Over a thousand meals delivered. She’s a paralegal. Refers families to us constantly. Works with domestic violence survivors. Her oldest is in high school. Works at my shop weekends. “Because you fed us when we were running. Now I want to feed others.” Last Saturday she delivered to a family at that same motel. Came back crying. “That was us five years ago. Now I get to be you.”

I don't like when people call Hamas, Hezbollah, IRGC and so forth cowards. These people are willing to face almost godlike opponents for what they believe in. What they believe in is lame and retarded, but they're not cowards. To call your enemy a coward is to diminish yourself.
