A republic, if you can keep it.

We had a couple of slumlords in St. Louis who likewise got their federal case dropped by hiring Brad Bondi as their attorney, too. The grift is right out in the open. They don't even try to hide it.
Gilead or Panem?
He could pronounce Cambodia. I'm guessing that's why he picked it.
When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen. It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.
In my area, if Nexstar (KTVI-Fox, KPLR) is allowed to complete their illegal merger with Tegna (KSDK-NBC), they and Sinclair (KDNL-ABC) would control four of the five major local commercial stations. The fifth (KMOV-CBS) is owned by the conglomerate Gray Media. This is bad.
And took aspirin
Smartest thing Marla ever did was take Tiffany to the other end of the country and raising her there. Kept her exposure to the toxic environment to a minimum.
He never changed a diaper, or put a band-aid on a skinned knee, or cared for them through a childhood illness.
Fox, Newsmax, and MSNBC are on cable, unregulated. No licensing of any sort is involved.
He is literally wrong on everything.
"YoU tOoK hIm OuT oF cOnTeXt, By QuOtInG eXaCtLy WhAt He SaId."
He's a paper tiger (toilet paper, actually), incredibly weak. Why is it so rare for people to stand up to him?
Right now: CNN vs Democracy Docket Notice a difference? Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Real question is going to be, will Brendan Carr start taking revenge on Disney/ABC and Nexstar? Would be kind of blatantly unconstitutional, but then, so has Trump's entire presidency.
Pardon me if I wait and see how things go before I'm willing to resubscribe to Disney/Hulu.
'Security risk': Ex-prosecutor says Kristi Noem may be hit with subpoena after big blunder www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-...
I understand her reluctance to take that stand. I couldn't understand why Trump and the GOP made trans people such a big issue in 2024, but it turned out it worked. An amazing number of people are transphobic. Irrational, but there it is.

They were always going to find a way to blame women. The deliberate infliction of pain ("There are no painkillers approved for you. Just suck it up!") is just an added bonus for these sick, sadistic fucks.
Can we assume that all the trailer park keyboard warriors that have styled themselves vaccine experts over the last few years are now suddenly experts on the evil effects of acetaminophen?
He's trying to destroy the economy in any way possible.
The Obama’s are moral champions. Charlie Kirk was a racist pig. 👇👇👇👇

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh
She has none. She's all in on this, and has no place to fall.
Sundowning
"Pam: Why haven't you drummed up charges against my enemies?"
If I were Korea, I'd shut down every plant and furlough every American worker until they get an apology from Trump and Noem.
I'm sure there will be ways to get around that charge, by contributing to Trump or his friends.
Boycott everything affiliated with ABC and Disney. Pass it on.
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.
This is who is advising the president of the United States
She's being polite, but I find it harder and harder to give any Trump supporters the benefit of the doubt. If they're not fascists, they're sure as fuck not opposed to it.
Disney has lost Michael Eisner. That should mean something.
NATO will have to stand on its own. The US is no longer a reliable ally.
There are so many places you could go with that headline.
The American Experiment was nice while it lasted.
If these assholes make me utter the phrase "Ya know, I have to agree with Tucker here" I'm gonna absolutely lose my shit
He's just saying the quiet parts out loud, now.
Have they thought of offering maternal leave? Child care? Health care? Remember when a single wage-earner could support a family on a single income? No woman currently of childbearing age even remembers such a time.
Anybody who claims this censorship is not being driven by the government needs to check out FCC head Brendan Carr's X feed from the last days. This was not driven by business reasons, but political ones. x.com/BrendanCarrFCC
ABC caved to Nexstar. Nexstar caved to Trump's FCC, because they need FCC approval for their merger with Tegna. FCC chairman Brendan Carr has been all over Twitter the last few days stoking the flames and sending a clear message that the FCC demands Trump's critics be silenced.
He said nothing that he needs to apologize for. An apology would validate the bullshit the right wing is throwing at him.
They need to. Guaranteed there will be dangerous contagion from Indiana, Missouri, and Iowa.
Joe Eszterhas never wrote dialog as bad as what's in those purported texts.
🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech
They kind of have to, The roommate, too. Can't have them around to deny the texts. Let's face it, even Joe Eszterhas never wrote dialog that bad. Not remotely credible.
They are literally canceling culture
In my experience, a bully's biggest fear is that they are actually, in reality, a weak person www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... "It is a sign of the regime’s profound insecurity and sense of their own weakness that...they cannot withstand the laughter of their people."
The only saving point is that they have to get this past the voters. Easier said than done. Kind of a hard sell: "We'd like you to vote for this initiative that means you'll never be able to vote on an initiative again.
I realize it's geographically problematic, but it would make sense for Pritzker to align with one or both of these cooperatives. CDC and DHS can no longer be trusted for leadership. They're literally trying to get people killed.
@msnbc.com already surrendered.
Nobody talks like that. Nobody texts like that. Even the worst AI would have come up with more credible dialog that that.
That's a lot of investment considering that 300 million people died last year.
This just in, unicorns have now been removed from the protected species list.
Soon. Trump has always suffered from a painful lack of originality.
I've never seen less credible dialog.
So, as a result of a series of vicious and baseless attacks, thousands of fishermen should lose their livelihood?
And "Democratic Socialism" never had anything to do with immigrant rights. Before he realized how bad it looked, Bernie used to be one of Lou Dobbs' favorite anti-immigrant guests on Fox.
Those who know what Democratic Socialism is: effectively zero. If you think it's the same as Nordic Social Democracy, you're wrong. Every time Bernie makes that idiotic claim, some Northern European government leader tells him he's wrong.
If you want to hang out, you've gotta take her out, cocaine If you want to get down, down on the ground, cocaine She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie Cocaine
Among the many blows to foreign exchange, one of our major exports used to be education. Foreign students would come here, buy education, and pay us for it. Over $40 billion a year. Guess who threw a monkey wrench into that business.
There is no such organization as Antifa. Never was. It's a vague (very vague) label for people who oppose fascism.
Say, whatever happened with that infrastructure week that Trump kept promising? Something something health plan two weeks.
But, but, but... Pronouns 😨
It should have been treated that way from the first day. Trump is blackmailing foreign countries into investing in the US. Korea builds factories which will employ American workers, sends engineers, temporarily, to set up the factories and train workers, and the motherfucker has them shackled.
Bernie has styled himself as the redneck whisperer, pushing the belief that if we give up on supporting rights for women, minorities, immigrants, and LGBTQ people, we can somehow attract those "White Working Class" men with an economic message. No, we can't, and we won't sacrifice our souls to try.
Somehow Trump or someone in his orbit is getting paid off in some way. He was just holding them up to see how much he could get. There was never any chance of TikTok being shut down.
The liberal mass media was always a myth.
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
But Bobby's OK with a Hitler who supports his antivax disinformation campaign.
He's just biding his time. Thiel knows that every power being given to Trump by SCOTUS will be inherited by Vance, sooner or later.
"He didn't say that." "Well, if he did say it, it was out of context." "Well, if it was in context, he didn't mean it or you didn't understand it." "Well, you support men becoming women, so your opinion doesn't matter. Amazing how often the discussion ends on that last one, out of right field.
I'll repeat: If you can't beat Republicans in competitive districts, which means you can't get a majority, then your leftism has accomplished nothing. So far nobody has managed to sell it outside pure blue country.
What is a "resistance" democrat? AOC and her squad? They haven't managed to take a single seat away from a Republican or win a single swing district. Primarying Dems in already blue districts accomplishes nothing if you can't get a majority.
How much self-hatred is needed to be someone like Owens?
Someone who held no government position of any sort, or indeed any actual job other than pundit or "influencer."
I hope those cowards are retiring because they know (or at least strongly suspect) that they and their party can't hold onto their seats. Even with gerrymandering.
I think Brian was trying to deflect attention from what a shit person Charlie was, by being even more of a shit person.
Live your life in such a way that, when you die, people directly quoting you does’t sound like a personal attack on your character.
You realize that this means you lose any credibility you may have ever had. No decent person could have even thought it, much less posted it.
Whoa.
"There are more Republicans signaling their desire to exit Washington (27) than Democrats (10)." The town halls in the home districts have been brutal for the GOP, as they find themselves unable to defend the economic disaster.
Getting ready for The Purge.
What the actual fuck? A reprehensible statement that no remotely decent person could have ever said, followed, eventually, by a pro forma and wildly insincere apology.
Don't want to stereotype Utahns, but...
He's sugar coating it. He also prayed that the shooter would be non-white, or trans, or gay, or anything other than the cis, straight, white, American Mormon that he turned out to be.
