I guess this Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz puts in context why he was the only vote against the 2017 Human Trafficking Bill... Because he was enjoying the ugly fruits of human trafficking with underage prostitutes. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

How cruel that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spread democracy through the Arab world comes just as a narcissistic clown & Putin asset is about to become president of the United States.

Putin fucked up big time when he invaded Ukraine in Feb, 2022. Thank you people of Ukraine for all you’ve done to defend your homeland & your freedom. Thank you United States, thank you Joe Biden, for leading a worldwide coalition to defend Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 Putin will lose.

“‘America First’ as a phrase is often associated with the idea of isolationism. But Trump is not an isolationist,” David Frum told @isabelfattal.bsky.social in The Atlantic Daily. “What he is interested in is a more predatory approach to foreign countries.”

I’ll continue to beat this drum: We’re not paying enough attention to Tulsi Gabbard. She is Trump’s most dangerous pick. At best, she’s just a Putin cheerleader. At worst, she’s a Russian asset. She should be nowhere near American intelligence. She must not be confirmed.

What’s more wrong than the pardon is holding Trump to no standard at all. Biden pardons his son & we scream. Trump lies as he breathes, abuses the powers of his office, incites violence, obstructs justice, tries to overthrow an election, & we yawn or look away. We treat Trump like a spoiled child.

It’s perfectly okay to say that BOTH 1)Joe Biden was wrong to pardon his son; and, 2)Donald Trump is BY FAR the most corrupt, dishonest, & lawless person to ever sit in the White House.

“Finally?” Where have you been my friend? For the past six years, ever since I publicly came out against Trump, I’ve repeatedly publicly acknowledged, and apologized for, my role in helping to create the conditions that led to Trump.
