What’s the world for murder on the high seas by vessels not at war?
Here’s a comment that isn’t fake: Homophobia isn’t cool, Dogg. This is how you want to be remembered?
Never forget the Epstein Files
Donald J. Trump is a violent serial child rapist.
Thus far Priztger's comments have done nothing to stave off invasion. They are what lefties want. But lefties may have a very self-indulgent sense of what is needed.
Rutger Hauer Rules.
I wonder which no extradition country she’ll skip off to when the tangerine rots?
Snowflakes in Alabama and it’s not even winter?!
Wait until he finds out some asshole paved the Rose Garden.
No bueno.
From reports of US Navy gunfire off Venezuela, it looks likes like Comb-over Caligula is hot to create a Gulf of Tonkin incident in South America.
Do the Red states realize this will include them?

. . . and that he got less that 50%of those who bothered to vote - hardly a mandate
The challenge is how to communicate to them the importance of keeping our country and Constitution. - even at a Fifth Grade level. Some Dems with strong messages can already do this but they’re not the party’s ’leadership.’

With respect, 51st state is not a bad word in and of itself. If D.C was the 51st state as it should be Comb-over Caligula would not have been able to call in the National Guard now - or keep them away despite the Mayor’s objections as he did on Jan. 6.

If you saw his press conference you know, he was totally out of it! When he wasn’t reading from the teleprompter his mind was completely disconnected!! #25thAmendmentNow

The White House is calling Republican lawmakers right now trying to pressure them to not release the Epstein documents!!! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #TrumpIsGuiltyAsFuqk
The Pentagon appointing 600 military lawyers to serve as immigration judges has a real "Volksgerichtshof and Sondergerichte" feel to it.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Trump going to sleep earlier, which I think is a little noteworthy
This is superb analogy.

It’s hard to govern a city where even the peoples’ government has no rights.
In a moment of cognitive decline, Trump contradicts himself in a matter of seconds saying he didn't hear that people thought he was dead - to saying he got reports of the situation. If this is quelling rumors of his decline it's not working.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) filed a discharge petition with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) to force a House vote on releasing all Epstein files. Requires 218 signatures; all 212 Democrats likely support, needing six Republicans to join. Massie is optimistic. www.cbsnews.com/news/thomas-...
This is a great idea.
I sincerely wish some vid producer would take portions of @govpritzker.illinois.gov's speech & somehow get them aired as public service announcements/warnings that play repeatedly in all media outlets. Someone fund this please. America needs to wake up. It's getting there, but not fast enough
Leadership. Jeffries and Schumer, this is what you should be doing.
Every village needs an idiot. Tuberville is the Senate’s village idiot, a place where the competition is fierce.
Free D.C. and every other city from Trump’s tyranny!! United States veterans are marching up Capitol Hill with Sgt. Rhodes!! True American heroes!! 💙
This sycophancy would make North Korea blush
Another protest in Washington, D.C.!!! Women dressed in red lined the street for almost a block!! What a strong statement by women who took time off to protest on a Tuesday!! Thank you so much!! 💗
Not a single reporter has asked about Trump’s health yet. Doocy asked how “he found out he was dead” this weekend, and that’s as close as it’s gotten.
The National Guard aren’t Trump's to command.
RELEASE the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES‼️ #TrumpEpsteinFiles #Pinks
HE VOTES BY MAIL!!!
“I’m the problem, it’s me.”
The truth? Trump is once again tacoing because he is so weak youtu.be/y69NXtzTfV4?...
Trump is over 20 minutes late to his Oval Office address. Are they unable to reanimate him? lol
In Fifth Grade, the State Police came to school and taught gun safety. It was was the year students were old enough to hunt, with a hunting culture so strong there was no school the first day of deer season. The untrained city people were the ones shooting cows, even with Xs painted on.
OpenAI’s Answer To ChatGPT-Related Suicide Lawsuit: Spy On Users, Report To Cops When you read about Adam Raine's suicide and ChatGPT's role in helping him plan his death, the immediate reaction is obvious and understandable: something must be done. OpenAI should be held responsible. This cannot…

I knew he was selling those documents.....there was a member of the military that is doing 20 yrs for even talking about secrets on a gaming site....let alone selling them.....
When Trump tries to defend mass deportations, he claims, without evidence, that immigrants come from “mental institutions and insane asylums.” When he insults people, he calls them "mentally disabled.” The blatant stigmatization is harmful. But Trump's mental health policies are even worse.

This book came out over two decades ago. It's still annoyingly relevant. The dems continue to cede the framing advantage to the GOP, and everything is discussed within the republican rhetorical field. "Oh, we do need more cops, but..." "Prayer is great, but..." And look where it's gotten us.
Impressive. Do the “fiscal hawk” Republicans know this?
"Impeachment has a particular power. Under House rules, impeachment resolutions are highly privileged and supersede any other pending business"
"'The President has no unilateral authority to impound funds,' the Government Accountability Office (GAO) concluded in 2018 when it was asked by the House Budget Committee to examine the question of pocket rescissions." Trump seems intent on trying it anyway [@ericboehm87.bsky.social]
Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned. Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned. Thousands of January 6th rioters? Pardoned. Anyone who opposes Trump? Prosecuted.

I'm old enough to remember when Trump campaigned on the NSA spying on him (they weren't) and telling MAGA if they could spy on him they could spy on them.
Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion. It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections. These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.
A nightmare of disingenuity. False assumption: That it’s the job of the president and the armed forces to fight crime! It’s the job of the police. Also: “Festers” not an appropriate word for a pretended dystopia. And of course the menace of troops with guns will bring crime down UNTIL THEY LEAVE.
Trump (still) can’t ban mail voting by executive order, NewsMax agrees to pay $67 million for defaming Dominion Voting Systems, Musk must face lawsuit on $1 million voter giveaway, how Romans wrestled with campaign finance reform and more in my new election policy roundup at @cato.org.

We should thank for him bringing attention to this matter.
Isn’t Huntsville, Ala. where they put Werner von Braun? Thoughtful of NASA to put a former SS Col. in a place that shared his values about race.
Government of the bribing criminals, by the bribe soliciting mobsters, for their extortion and bribery fueled racketeering enterprises. This is about more than Trump.
Note to file: build guillotine sculpture for next protest.
The “Woke” Myth open.substack.com/pub/robertre... ~Universities bend what seems left in times of Trump because they are rational, not political
As an example, when faced with internet evidence of Nazi views, cross exam on the nexus between the views and moral turpitude that disqualifies one from practice.

Democratic officials of a certain age: Follow Rep. Nadler’s example. He is a legend. And now he’s doing what’s right for the nation and the party, leaving at the top of his game, letting younger members lead.
