I saw this elderly woman on a mobility scooter today. She had a sign asking for money for water & food. I gave her $2, which was my change. I don’t carry much cash. I cried driving away imagining what I would do in her situation. She was a few years older than me. People wouldn’t even look at her. 🧵

Yesterday a fucker responded to my post about this article saying no one gives a shit about my "28 pgs of crap" & that I'd best "be quiet" about the subject. So I will now RT this every hour for a day. U can help me stick it to him by reading my piece instead of just RT. I wrote to be accessible.

Just spoke with former Officer Mike Fanone about the Biden pardon that covers him and other officers who testified before the Jan. 6 committee. “This is a different kind of American exceptionalism. It’s exceptionally fucked up.”

to recap: — Trump was for the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

It ALSO caused a shortage of the medication when Donald Trump stockpiled it! www.science.org/content/arti...

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees the President Biden should NOT consider granting a pardon to Donald trump, no matter what. He STILL refuses to admit he lost in 2020, he's going to pardon the January 6th attackers, and will probably try to pardon himself anyway. FUCK. THAT.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

This is just a small handful of the hundreds of pardons Trump gave to drug traffickers, violent felons, fraudsters, donors, friends, cronies, wealthy businessmen, campaign aides, and Republican politicians.

Trump just named Jared's father, Charles Kushner — who he pardoned in 2020 — to be Ambassador to France. Kushner hatched a scheme involving a prostitute to entrap his brother-in-law and eventually pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations.

Do we have ANOTHER George Santos in Congress?Anna Paulina Luna appears to have lied that her father was a convict (nope), that she suffered a home invasion at 4 am (nope), and that her father was Jewish (nope, he was Catholic - and his father fought in WW2 - for the Nazis).
