Some Dems have this visceral urge to respond to batshit GOP ideas with "Of course I'll consider that!" They think it makes them sound reasonable. But it actually just makes MAGA sound reasonable. It's a strategic self own. Don't overthink this. Call out stupid shit and say no. It's not that hard.

Lying about his weight or his wealth is funny, but this is Trump's most outrageous lie: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The fact that the FBI didn’t hold a press conference announcing the largest seizure of self-made explosives in history tells you everything you need to know about race and ideology of the suspect. Wanna guess? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

I have a bad feeling the next few years are going to be quite horrific in terms of cyber attacks against the US. The people Trump is putting into positions, mostly don't have the knowledge or experience to cope with the increased severity of attacks that are being seen.

What a failure by media. The State Dept Global Engagement Center responsible for countering disinformation shut down on Monday and barely any news on this. This was the doing of Republicans who capitalize off of Russian disinformation operations

When Trump says "we want our FBI back" what he really means is, he wants to make sure they can never investigate or prosecute him again. This is not democracy.

Sad day for voters in North Carolina, the Republicans have voted to override Gov Coopers veto on SB382 that strips power from the incoming Governor, AG and Superintendent of Education. This is not how Democracy is supposed to work and the Republicans know this but they’re drunk on powers Shameful!

Seriously. Fuck billionaires. Nobody should have that much money. For those who say “THEY WORKED HARD FOR THAT!!!”… Really? Are you sure? Or did they just get rich and then take advantage of a stock market and tax system that lets them sit back and watch their wealth balloon to obscene levels?

So, we’re going to ask Tulsi Gabbard all about her support for Bashar al-Assad, right? She’s not going to cruise through confirmation without the world knowing why the hell she ever backed him, right?

Elon Musk is a corporate raider with an established history of buying up businesses, pushing out the founders, taking credit for their inventions and reshaping those businesses in his own image. His latest raid? The United States of America.

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent. George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s. Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.

I truly do not care about Hunter Biden being pardoned. The Patel nomination changed the dynamic by signifying they intend on politicizing the DOJ / FBI to enact political retribution and he was going to be a target for a crime committed by a first time offender that should have been a non-story

Trump pardoned a dozen drug traffickers, bypassed & ignored DOJ input, pardoned dozens of Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, donors and campaign officials. Promised to pardon J6ers who beat cops. I don’t care about Joe pardoning his last son.

Remember when people used to have academic discussions about how Hitler happened and what was wrong with the Germans that they let it happen? This new interactive education makes it all so much more clear.
