Confused...they’re convicts, right? Insurrectionists? No particular singing chops? A choir only when they had nothing else to do? And they’re going to the Kennedy Center? This isn’t Kid Rock performing at an Inaugural Ball, this’d be like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog tap-dancing at Carter’s funeral.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Trump is much fonder of the world's most brutal autocrats than he is America's allies -- or the countries that were our allies before he retook power.

The MAGA regime has opened a criminal investigation into Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia for criticizing Nazi Musk and Pam Bondi has deleted a DOJ database that tracks police misconduct, a database created after the murder of George Floyd. This is what a fascist state looks like.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

The MAGA regime has fired hundreds of FEMA employees whilst simultaneously denying red state Georgia’s request for FEMA aid. This is what happens when you put a tyrannical convicted felon back in the White House instead of in prison where he belongs. FAFO.

This is not only a transparent lie bc they recognized the lawsuit in question was a big risk (especially given Trump's stance on Jack Smith's appointment), but the way to prove it's a lie is gonna be Elon's "USAID in a wood chipper" comment.

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos. He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks. Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’
