They are getting really bad advice from someone if they think this sort of talk is what anyone wants to hear.
I dunno, if you can’t even find common ground with them on the “pedophiles are bad” issue, maybe they just aren’t fucking interested in meeting in the middle on anything

The whole nation must hear their stories. We owe them that, and Trump owes us full transparency.
“To everyone listening, but most especially to the press, refuse to pretend that any of this is normal.” —JB Pritzker
“In short, the Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act.” Judge Charles Breyer
"Yes, during Homecoming, he did erect a Confederate statue on the field while shouting a full-throated defense of eugenics into the loudspeaker. But what are we supposed to do? Buy entirely new sweatshirts?"
More than 450 economists, including several Nobel Prize winners, have signed a letter condemning “rhetoric or actions that erode the Federal Reserve’s independence” in support of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, whom Trump “fired” based on unproven mortgage fraud allegations flip.it/.EATOP
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
"He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too." —JB Pritzker
"When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything?…Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?" —JB Pritzker
“What’s really notable is the extent to which Republican senators and leaders have remained largely supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago.” —PUBLIC NOTICE
Trump is effectively branding the presidency by turning it into a meme coin. But instead of the profits benefiting the American people, they are going directly to Trump personally. It’s unethical, illegal, and unconstitutional. —ROBERT B. HUBBELL
Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate workers and the power of the labor movement in securing fair wages, safe workplaces, and better lives for people across the country. 🛠️💪 #UnionStrong
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town
“The White House appointed as acting CDC director a biotech investor [with] no training in either medicine or the science of infectious diseases…[He] supported the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to treat covid…[and] embraced conspiracy theories about covid online.” —Heather Cox Richardson
Every Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr. as health secretary except for Mitch McConnell, who is retiring and thus was under no re-election pressure. The entire Republican Party has embraced anti-vax policies. It is pro-polio, pro-measles, pro-Covid. It's a death cult.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

So much for The Art of the Deal. Weeks after Trump’s failed meeting with Putin, Russia continues to escalate its brutal attacks on Ukraine. Trump is getting conned and played by Putin — and the Ukrainian people are paying the price.

"I hear that this little pin I've been giving out on the House floor has been triggering some of my Democrat colleagues. Well, I give it out to remind people of the Second Amendment of the Constitution and how important it is in preserving our liberties." Rep. Andrew S. Clyde (R-Ga.) Feb 2nd, 2023
Crossing the border illegally IS A MISDEMEANOR! Are you in favor of imprisoning people for misdemeanors?
Being in the U.S. illegally IS NOT EVEN A CRIME! It is a civil offense.
It’s really come down to this folks: Pick a side.

Despite all the right-wing bluster about left-wing academia, there seems to be a never-ending supply of right-wing Ivy League lawyers, some of whom become right-wing judges and all of whom seem to be gleefully undermining the Constitution.
Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.
REPORTER: “One of the accomplishments you listed was from the Inflation Reduction Act… which you voted against.”🤔 NANCY MACE: *loses her shit on the reporter, calls her a ‘raging leftist’, babbles about conservative women being president* tldr: Mace is unhinged and unfit
If you haven’t chosen a side yet, you’re going to have to choose. Soon.
I’d never smuggle a budgie! But I might snuggle with one…
On Aug. 6, 1945, the world changed forever. The U.S, in the middle of World War II, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on another Japanese city — Nagasaki. Japan, an Axis power, surrendered soon after, ending the war. 🧵

I truly cannot emphasize enough how this is straight up Lysenkoism. Because of the incredible work of our nation’s scientists, we have our finger tips on the closest thing humanity has ever come to “a cure for cancer”, but brainworm over here doesn’t believe in it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/h...
I just learned that Newsmax — the Skinemax of News — named Alex Acosta, the guy who cut Epstein’s sweetheart plea deal, to its board of directors last month
suffice it to say it's not normal for the AG and FBI director to meet with administration officials about an ongoing coverup

New: Ghislaine Maxwell was technically ineligible to be transferred from to a minimum-security federal prison camp-- and the Bureau of Prisons had to waive a rule to facilitate the move, according to public records and a federal prison expert. With @lawofruby.bsky.social
The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.
This sounds like a fucking middle school essay. “Since the beginning of time, mankind has searched for a large event space. The president thusly wanted a large event space too. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss this new large event space”
Plus the shooter drove across the country with an assault weapon, intent on murder. So NYPD was supposed to prevent this how exactly….?
Literally the only way I found out that the left is “outraged” by this is people complaining about that. Nobody on the left has made this an issue because nobody fucking cares about the ad copy for pants. Nobody gives a shit. Stop believing breathless news stories based on, like, two TikTok videos.

Vermule advocates for a Catholic world government. Literally. He not only opposes the separation of church and state; he want the church to rule the state.
