Goes without saying, but F that mouth agape bow-tie boat-shoe moron for platforming this even more dangerous brain worm moron.
I thought they built "Conservopedia" so they didn't ever have to look at Wikipedia?
Maybe Tate is shaping up to be the Scottie Pippen to Jeremiah Smith's Michael Jordan. (Defense has to focus resources on Smith, leaving door open for Tate.)

Lee was a slaver, ruthlessly protecting the 'property' of his wife's family. F that guy, there's a reason the war's dead are on what was his old land.
Right-wing knows this, and they're purposefully pretending to misunderstand what Newsome camp is going.

RIP "Power of the Purse": Trump's (& Russell T. Vought's) once hidden directives mean money Congress appropriated for programs will never reach organizations as intended, prompting lawsuits & investigations by GAO. It ruled: Trump illegally withheld funds appropriated by Congress. #cspan #cspanwj
Company cybertruck equates to, "Tell me you're committing some kind of tax fraud without telling me you're committing some kind of tax fraud."
Precisely: Intel late on Friday said the US gov would make an ~$9bn equity investment, funded by federal grants from the 2022 Chips Act but not allocated. [ft.com] By the way, Trump stole this idea from a 3 year old Bernie Sanders idea, but that was gasp---"communism". #cspan #cspanwj

It's beyond pointless and utterly idiotic.
Trump took all of 8 months (with a bunch of lies and faux "emergencies") to dismantle American democracy. Of course, he didn't do it alone--as he's pretty lazy and in ill health. The other branches of government, supposedly the "checks", have their complicit role in this. #cspan #cspanwj
The same people claiming media exposure made them gay are also the people who say that 'the gay' can be "prayed away" at some Christian retreat. Like, "Okay sure, Steve, a 90's sitcom rerun with a gay kiss made you gay again. What's the big deal? So go on another retreat, big guy." #cspan #cspanwj
This guy's series on Joe Rogan is great. Low-key humor/sarcasm for the win! The morons have the microphone now. And it was handed to them by billionaires. Also, again, Joe Rogan is a moron and those who follow him for his insights are even dumber. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.... #cspan #cspanwj
Gosh, that rings a bell. I wonder if anyone has ever tried this corporations intertwining with government arrangement?
At one point are people, especially those at the top of Democratic party, going to realize major media outlets are in the tank for this administration, via either cowardice or ideological alignment? Same outlets that cheer-leaded invasion of Iraq, lied about 2020 election, ignore genocides, etc.
A lesson in frog boiling.
The author, Derek Hunter, described the prospect of Trump using the military against his opponents "terrifying", but not to worry as he claimed Harris was lying. I wonder if he still feels this prospect is terrifying now that it's actually happening. thehill.com/opinion/camp... #cspan #cspanwj

Oh, gee. WSJ's Greg Ip: USA moving away from free market capitalism, towards state capitalism--taking a strong role in deciding what private companies do. Trump has no legal basis for much of what he's doing...there's no legal framework that governs it. www.wsj.com/podcasts/the... #cspan #cspanwj

Operation Gideon en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_... Goudreau's "Silvercorp" did security for at least one Trump rally. He was acquainted with Keith Schiller, Trump's longtime dir. of security. In '19, he saw opportunity to overthrow Maduro when Trump was focused on removing Maduro. #cspanwj #cspan

The thug, dictator, war criminal told Trump about fair elections. "Trump’s remarks followed his being on Hannity Fox News program, where he said Russian leader *Vladimir Putin told him* that mail-in voting is incompatible with fair elections." www.cleveland.com/news/2025/08... #cspanwj #cspanwj
Trump's same bullshit again and again, everything is "two weeks". Trump quoted in FT.com today about Putin's invasion of Ukraine: "We’re going to find out about President Putin in the next couple of weeks. It’s possible he does not want to make a deal.” #cspan #cspanwj
An obvious loyalty test for the states.
Some additional context here: In Ohio, Brown will be running against the appointed Husted, but Ohio's other senator, former used car dealing, Bernie Moreno is about as crypto-bro as it gets. And running for governor is the med conman and full MAGA crypto-bro Vivek Ramaswamy. #cspan #cspanwj
Why is it that Trump is always carrying the water for an authoritarian thug, dictator, international aggressor and indicted war criminal? Trump is not a 'broker for peace', he's a broker for giving Putin whatever he wants.
Not getting any "emergency" vibes from this pleasant stroll.
Some classic Gross interviews: Ross Perot Larry Flynt Bill O'Reilly
Okay, Sam, will they have universal healthcare?
Sure, Melania. Meanwhile: Trump ended a government-funded initiative led by Yale Humanitarian Research Lab (Yale HRL) tracking mass kidnapping of children from Ukraine--the same day he spoke to Putin by phone. Some 30,000 children have been taken. #cspan #cspanwj www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Trump and Rubio are offering: Thugocracy.
Trump's folly in Alaska, dropping his demands, nodding to whatever Putin wants. Washes hands and now says war is now "up to Zelensky". Putin refused a ceasefire but proposed a ridiculous counter: Ukraine should concede its territory and defenses. snyder.substack.com/p/ultima-thule #cspan #cspanwj

Russia sold Alaska partly because of a war in *Crimea*, which the Russian Empire annexed in 1783 Putin, who talks about restoring Russian power, with seller’s remorse over Alaska a feature of his rule. “Alaska is ours” billboards appeared in Russia after 2022 Ukrainian invasion. #cspan
Ah yes, Iraq...famously low on crime now.

If only he had attacked the officer with a flag-pole, then he might have a chance at a pardon.

Trump fluffer & conspiracy dip-shit: "Donald Trump is actually the number 1 person who attempted to prevent January 6. He's the opposite of the person who incited January 6th.
