Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

After hearing all the outrage about Biden's health now we'll get thoughts and prayers about Trump, who never gave a shit about anyone else!

He was going to end the war on his first day in office, yet has made zero progress in 8 months. That's to be expected when you have a toddler with no plan trying to negotiate with a lifelong KGB agent!

I wonder how long Stephen Miller would last if JD Vance became President. I wonder what Miller has planned for Vance if that should happen. All kinds of interesting thoughts to have in this best of all possible worlds. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”

Is the Trump administration hoping for a mass die-off of Americans? Maybe someone should tell them these potential diseases don't care about your political views.

apnews.com/article/soci... It's hard to exaggerate how serious this is. Russia is already known to have used some DOGE ID's and passwords. And this admin itself is a threat. Hard to imagine the damage that could be done. So many ways this data could be used ... to rig elections, for example. 😡

I'm wondering how many cities the National Guard can occupy before they run out of manpower? I bet they are understaffed for that, and that they will have a hard time hiring new staff when they discover they're hated and will be spending the bulk of their time standing around and picking up trash!

And by turning the military against our own citizens, the country is less prepared for threats from outside or other emergencies.

Trump looks like hammered dogshit these days. His ankles are horribly swollen, he's got a weird discoloration on his hand, his eyes are glazed over and he's not even wearing a necktie in the Oval Office anymore. He's rambling more than ever and seems deeply out of it. But Joe Biden, huh.

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.

It is mind blowing to hear Democratic politicians talking about the president sending the military into American cities as a “distraction.” Actually you are all now one degree away from being violently removed from power. The fact that this may not happen does not erase the fact that it may happen.
