Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
It could explain a lot
I just feel #RAGE 24/7
I didn't know the podcast sector was this red
Wow, he's really preoccupied with people unaliving and not getting the awards they "deserve" before they're gone. Hmm, I wonder why...? Maybe there's a "prize" for figuring this out? Something that will bring us all a lot of inner "peace" once we do?

So Obama really DID have the right to give everyone affordable healthcare and impose a mandate with the ACA. And the Orange Failpatine is incapable of seeing the implications of his own blatherings.

The goddamn Orange Failpatine is ultimately responsible, since he hired these inexperienced, sycophantic loyalists. Sure, there's plenty of shared responsibility. But ultimately the buck stops with him! HE chose loyalty over competency. HE set up the system to fail on public safety!

RFK is insane and stripping scientific knowledge from healthcare. He is bringing us back to the 1800's. Ask me, a hydrogeologist, about volcanoes and earthquakes. Ask doctors about body issues. Ask RFK about drug addiction and hallucinations.
The GOP and @JDVance have spent more time this week acting upset that "thoughts and prayers" are not a solution for gun violence than they have over the reality that the gun violence actually happened. It will continue to happen because "thoughts and prayers" is all they have.
Communist dictators pushed revisionist policies like this. Fascism and Communism look a lot alike, don't they.
"The oft-mentioned tyranny being opposed by gun owners is really just the sense that the wrong people are encroaching on the privileges and prerogatives of whiteness." From 2020:
This is yet another *clear* sign he's unqualified for his job! "The study in question... look[ed] at 1.2 million children born over more than two decades in Denmark. The authors reported ... no significant risk of developing autoimmune, allergic or neurodevelopmental disorders...."
Trump wants to lock up people who desecrate the flag. Here he is violating the flag code by signing his name on it with a marker.
A man at Trump’s golf club used an American flag as a drape covering for Trump “art,” then wadded it up in front of Trump, and then placed it in a chair behind him. Trump was so concerned about flag desecration that he didn’t say anything about it.
That's sure to get him the Nobel Prize he wants so badly 🙄🤦🏽♂️
@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
With "virulently" being a key word, and probably included unironically. We all remember what happened last time Dunning-Kruger Donnie had to deal with a deadly virus. Well, at least those of us who survived remember.
Where are all the folks who scream "That's Socialism!" when they oppose something, now that their "Daddy" is doing it?
Oh no. Whatever will they do. This is worse than the time Bob's Big Boy boycotted downtown Huntington Beach.
Maybe I’m weird, too. 🤷🏼♂️
She will not. They will promote her if they can. As such it is up to Democrats in the House to file articles of impeachment [I KNOW THEY WILL FAIL] - FILE THE ARTICLES and keep bringing them up ALL OF THE TIME. Tell folks that you will impeach her if you have the majority in the future.

He doesn't understand economis at all. TDS is now officially "Tariff Derangement Syndrome!"
I'm making this a periodic reminder
Everyone who served in the military knew a lieutenant like Hegseth. We just never imagined that we would ever have a president who would make one of those dipshits Sec of Defense because he liked his rap on TV.
Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…
Sen Van Hollen calls it out—The president of El Salvador pulled a stunt, putting two cocktail glasses on the table to make it look like he & Kilmar were just chilling. FACT: Kilmar’s locked in a mega-prison, unconvicted with no due process. No credible evidence to back MS-13 gang member allegation.
People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
“The Trump regime is rotting from within at an exponential decay level. They can say “fake news” over and over to their perverse delight, but this regime is cooked crisp and heading toward the dumpster.” www.meidasplus.com/p/very-impor...
Yet another example of how Trump is fundamentally incapable of admitting he's wrong. He's now whining to Chief Daddy Roberts to validate his policy of deporting whoever the f**k he wants to without due process.
Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
When Liz Truss came close to trashing the UK economy she was kicked out pretty damn fast. If only there was a way to do that in the US with all those checks and balances….
Pardon the metaphor
This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...
And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.
“Trump isn’t kidding. When he insists that the 2020 election was stolen, that USAID is a complete fraud…that Arab states will help him empty & gentrify Gaza, he’s not saying things he knows are false or preposterous. He really believes this lunacy. He’s deranged.” www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...
James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is “discovering.” That’s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.
Hey, MAGA... Welcome Back to Reality!!!
JESUSFUCKINGCHRIST
If true, this is the economic ballgame
All that talk about transparency was bullshit.
NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.
Con artist Sen. Ron Johnson submitted a list of “Doctors for Robert F. Kennedy” into the Congressional Record. But some have lost their medical licenses and many others are not (and never were) doctors.
Q: What’s worse than an anti-vaxxer? A: a hypocritical anti-vaxxer in a position of influence Caroline Kennedy confirms RFK Jr privately chose to vaccinate his kids while publicly discouraging other parents from vaccinating their children
An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.
Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
New lyrics to the national anthem: "Over the la-aand of the free labor, and the home of the raaaav...ing lunatics committing human rights atrocities"
Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.
Trump pardoned a child molester.
This is the article many of us need at this time, to give us sone hope.
Can’t make it up
This is some really messed-up 1984 Big-Brother sh!te: "However, failure to report this information in 10 days may result in adverse consequences."
This really is horrible and heartbreaking
Fox News reacts to stories like an immune system attacking a threat—whatever they hit hardest is what they fear most. A bishop preaching kindness and pleading with Trump? Immediate outrage. Elon Musk's salute? Full defense mode. Says it all.
Just saying.
One of the most despicable acts that any president has ever carried out. And there will be more and they will be worse, much worse… #TerroristTrump
Big Brother Zuckerberg is just trying to ensure we're properly connected to the new Ministry of Truth. Showing us how much he really cares. His heart goes out to us, just like Musk.
Hillary’s email server would like a word
IMO, part of the reason Trump is so damaged & became so vile, & why we have Trumpism in the first place, is b/c we've all been taught to play the "blame & shame & who's at fault" game. IMO, re-focusing on "shared responsibility" and developing "shame resilience" is needed to get out of this mess.
I think it's mostly b/c we don't have any hard evidence yet. I also think it's a possibility & should be investigated by PA. "Dupers delight" is real, and Trump doesn't have the self-control to hide it. I'm not convinced either way yet, but IMO it's more likely to be DD, not a strategic lie.
A pre-admission, perhaps, about rigging the vote in PA
So Trump appears to have bragged to his supporters last night, implying Musk rigged the election in his favor....
Watching so many people having spent money to go to the inauguration, and then Trump canceling it because he’s worried about the pictures and small crowds, is a perfect picture of his whole relationship with his supporters. They give and give, he takes and takes.
Good info
It’s Saturday! Use the weekend to mentally prepare yourself for next week!
This is one of the best interviews I've ever heard anywhere.
💯
Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?
This is a ploy so they can shut it down on Sunday, blame it on Biden, then turn it back on in 1-2 days so Trump can play the hero and claim credit. It’s sad to see that the Chinese Communist Party is working with Trump so closely to deceive app users and the American people.
It's worth remembering that ICE agents regularly lie. If they arrive, film. Have everybody with you filming. Know your rights. Don't tell them anything.
So none of the "alphas" in the oligarchy can weather the cold? And, hey, if it's inside, they should leave the flag at half-staff. It's no longer going to ruin his inauguration optics, so leave it alone and continue honoring Pres. Carter.
In-person engagement for the Democrats—in hostile territory—is necessary; they must cease being afraid of unscripted settings. The party also needs to support any group willing to go into unfriendly areas, to show Americans that so much of the info they consume is just simply inaccurate.
And this is yet another way we know it was all politically motivated propaganda in the first place
Please take a moment to read and share this thread. 🧵
Facts, in case anyone is still interested
She's obviously all-in on white supremacy😢 White supremacists appear to carry lots of toxic shame. They think they can protect themselves by forcing others to change, instead of developing their OWN shame resilience. It never solves things - their shame is really coming from INSIDE, not out!
