Wouldn’t it have been decent of you to tell your bosses to fuck off when they fired your “friend “ joy.
You can’t save the media by capitulating

thanks rachel!

here's another, written by a former member of the hungarian parliament (he wrote this a few months back, but it still hits).

bloody orbán!

happy to see that he's in trouble this weekend :)

It is coming. Our days are numbered. Dems never took down 4Chan or any other far right media. Trump will take down any resistance media. This is my biggest fear.

Victor met with Trump 2 weeks before his “assasination” attempt and told him how the Slovakian candidate was down in the polls until he had an assasination attempt…just sayin

Muzzle the press?
Why would he do that?
You're quite literally your own worst enemy.
The more you talk..the more americans wake up to what liberals are.
He LOVES to hear the fake news talking

Thanks Rachel. I read the article and it's terrifying to think the road we're on right now. I was in South Florida today and see the difference here. It's quieter than usual. NO PROTESTS ANYWHERE HERE! Very depressing.

Yes, none of what we see is new or original, it’s in every history book.

The Evil cohort. They band together because they know they are outnumbered. The resistance is rising. Stop supporting the money-worshippers. Boycott. Don't spend money. Make them suffer economic consequences and watch how quickly things turn around. The Good people are rising in this country.

Genuine Question: What do you plan to do when he goes after you directly and with the support of the DOJ? I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time, and I’m worried for you. I love your content.

Just as federal employees are being individually affected by politicians I suggest network talking heads identify politicians (from both sides) who are okay with weakening the safety net. Call it Bozo Bingo? 😶

I hate to make this observation but I must.
Remember the massive pussy, pink hats who went to the streets when Trump was elected ? Women’s rights to bear or not was taken away. Russians to the streets, Cubans to the streets, Chinese to the streets..At that point, not one of the henchmen cares.

Also, Iranian women to the street removing their headscarves, nothing happened.

I'm hoping you will have Gil Duran on your show to discuss the Network State and Freedom Cities.

How does a skin color make anyone less patriotic? Isn't it pure Evil and satanic to discriminate against god's children? Trump and his cohorts are shameless pathetic creatures. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/16/defense-department-black-medal-of-honor-veteran
