"WEAK LOSER" DONALD TRUMP (CRAPPY HAIR!) IS A BROKEN-INSIDE MANCHILD. (SAD!) HIS TYRANT FATHER (KKK!) DESTROYED HIM AND NOW WE ALL MUST SUFFER AS A RESULT. YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) EXPLAINS THIS IN A GREAT POST THAT MANY ARE SAYING IS THE GREATEST POST EVER. READ IT HERE: bit.ly/3HD7AQd

this, my friends, is the difference between representative government and fascism for fascism’s sake. if Donny and his merry band of shithole goons were actually interested in mitigating all this supposed crime happening in Chicago, they’d be coordinating the fuck out of the whole operation. right now, there would be a hundred conference calls a day happening between Chicago and DC. ā€˜ok, let’s figure out where the crime is, and where to best deploy.’ every last detail would be worked out in advance. but none of that shit is going on, because the Mad King could give a fuck about actually fighting crime. what he wants is a fascistic display of force. what he wants is dominance — because deep down inside, Donny is an emotionally-scarred little boy who never got over being told what a weak piece of shit he was by his tyrant Klansman father, and now he’s going to make the entire world suffer as a result. it’s all so fucked up. this is what happens when you let the most broken-inside person ever to walk the face of the earth hold the reins of power. Only Dear Leader Can Fix Itā„¢? yeah, right.

Virginia Giuffre’s family denounces ā€œDAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interviewā€ of Ghislaine Maxwell in a statement. www.allrisenews.com/p/maxwell-tr...

As the family of one of the most prominent survivors, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we are outraged. The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history. This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded. The Department of Justice serves the people of the United States. We continue to call upon the DOJ to do its job by investigating and holding accountable the many rich and powerful people who enabled Ghislaine Maxwell’s and Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. ā€œIf you knew you could win this next election, you wouldn’t be taking this effort to try to steal five seats from elected officials that members of color elected to represent them in Washington D.C.ā€

Reporters don't care if the fascist sadistic sociopath president lies to them repeatedly. They never follow up on his lies. Its sickening.

It is not the job of federal judges to "respect the president." Good luck with the job hunt, Alina.

A federal judge ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to the ā€œAlligator Alcatrazā€ detention center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms.

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

Trump is a man with no morals no loyalties with a desire to be ultra wealthy and all powerful. He uses his fascist loyalists in the US government to crush people who speak out against him. Trump is a convicted felon and a convicted of sexual abuser. Trump is loyal to Putin not the people of the US.

Arnold should be talking to his right-wing friends. Democrats must go on the offensive and kick the shit out of Trump and his fascist party.

Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…

NEW: As Republicans work to rig the 2026 election, Democratic governors are key to winning the redistricting fight. With veto power over maps and the ability to appoint judges who impact their implementation, electing governors has never been more crucial, @megmeedra.bsky.social writes.

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
