What is the meaning of "Do you want it to be us next"? "Do you want white folks to be treated the way Black people have been treated?" That would be an indication of understanding that few conservatives are able to express.

Yes, it is disturbing. Yes it is a hate crime. It is surprising though, considering the current political climate? Is it happening in other places and just not being filmed?
I've tried half of these YUM

Well, it did give me a smile, since we don't know for sure where Hamilton's father is from 😄
Pitch perfect. I wish I could enjoy this for the comedy factor alone... It's the Colbert Report, but with higher, real-world stakes. Viva Zapata!
What does the woman with the domestic violence problem have to do with his accident? Why is her story included at all? To create sympathy? To explain why he was on the road? To explain why he was seen earlier that same day with a woman? Odd statement. Creates more questions than it answers.
In Scotland?
Exactly. There are a lot of people in the WH Press Corps right now who have never been anything more than stenographers. They've never done any reporting that required original thinking or analysis. Half of them couldn't come up with an incisive question if they tried.
Pips #15 Hard 🔴 6:37 This one was tough
looks like tsuki is trying to get back IN to the water
The answer to every one of these "why don't they ask" questions is the same. Most members of the WH press corps don't get to choose the questions they ask. The old days when a Dan Rather could think up a question on his own and shout it out directly to the press secretary are long gone.
The vowel being different (the difference between hawk and hock) could have been an additional help 😆

Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
It would be great if the government and corporations did the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, but sadly it doesn’t work that way!
But Alexander Hamilton was white, which means that he was human, according to MAGA. Sparkle Sooknanan is a woman from Asian origin, which is worse than illegal, according to the same.
YAP! I'm in!!!

John Jay got sick after writing five James Madison wrote 29 Some guy born in Nevis wrote THE OTHER 51
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Yes, this is the "joke". The tRUmp 2028 hats are supposed to refer to Eric, or DJTJ, or Ivanka. He's such an obviously terrible candidate I would almost like to see Eric try it, but after 2024 let's not take any chances.
I saw this elsewhere and thought it wasn't true because I hadn't seen it here. Sucks to be Rudy.
Never mind, I see the TX in your @ name now. You.might want to make your Texas affiliation a little more prominent.

Don't look away 😔 this isn't the American 🇺🇸 way 👉🏼it's sadistic psychopathic Hatemeister Steven Millers wet dream of Amerikkka👿👇🏼
This tactic has Stephen Miller written all over it. He has a thing for terrorizing parents by taking their children. Miller believes it is the best way to punish migrants and the best way to deter them from coming to the US. (I'm not sure he considers the feeling of the children at all.)
This song never stops being relevant
"I saw it and automatically assumed it was being offered to me" sums up the entitlement mindset of a HUGE demographic of wealthy men.
Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.
A pound of 80/20 is still lower than the federal minimum wage in my city But the 90/10 is more than 7.25!
I understand (though I do not accept) the government's case for remaining on X. What is totally indefensible is the *exclusive* presence of many MPs & departments on that site. They are handing a monopoly of key government communications to a site that's increasingly run by & for the radical right
That's trumpflation.
Too many non-working holidays? As compared to what? As compared to WORKING holidays? Nothing that man says makes any sense at all...

No need to apologize! I agree that the hands look very odd and could be photoshopped.
Staff members can post those, so they don't count as proof that he is OK/ He has not spoken on camera since last Tuesday. That seems significant.
I've had many an IV in my hand and seen many an IV in other people's hands the bruising looks a lot like the bruises on tRUmp's hands
They tried to pass off a picture from an old golf trip as a picture from today. VERY sus...
spangram jumped out at me right away also i love when that happens 🤩
sometimes self care IS selfish selfish is not a bad word
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Executive orders are not laws and not binding to the public at large but only to the federal agencies and officers that report to the President. He’s not a king. We have no kings.
Anyone who doesn't believe that voting is fundamentally about harm reduction lives in a state of blissful ignorance that comes with a body count
Americans who failed to vote in 2024 helped elect Trump, and as a result, they absolutely do bear responsibility for the suffering of children with HIV who are now being deprived of life-saving medications. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
I have absolutely no patience with people who want to preen about how failing to vote for Harris makes them Not Child Murderers. Their self-centered failure to vote means that we are now in for an utterly nightmarish amount of global human suffering. www.scientificamerican.com/article/usai...
People who believe not voting 2024 makes them morally superior because they're not "murdering children" should be constantly reminded that they helped elect Trump, who destroyed USAID - an act that's now murdering children around the world. www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...
Television and newspapers used to have a lot more influence over candidates and campaigns. People used to get their political ideas and news and "vibes" from the press. They don't. Not anymore. Unless you consider social media and hateradio to be part of "the press". I don't 🙂
And yet Congress allows it. I can stand on my porch and declare myself mayor of my town. The only difference between me being committed and actually being mayor is the willingness of others to play along or being too afraid to object.
It's not "weird" at all. It is intentional. I expect no better from the #BrokenTimes these days.
i know this is a joke but "woke" existed for decades and generations before Rcons tried to weaponize it
Say that again, since some people apparently have not caught on to this yet: THE NEW YORK TIMES IS A PRO tRUmp OUTLET CLAIMING TO BE NEUTRAL
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
I only give directly to individual candidate campaigns as well.
I did not make the accusation casually. I said it with direct intention. Dems aren't perfect. Nobody is. I have a serious problem with the folks who expect Dems to be perfect while somehow NEVER managing to turn their fire on Republicons. EVER. #BlameRepublicons for what Republicons do.
Is this true? I haven't seen this reported anywhere else.
What do you mean by that? They have already said that the entire show is going off the air. There will be no Late Night show of any kind on CBS. It will probably be replaced by some kind of mindless reality show.
Look, let’s face it, all careers are gonna die www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
double mast? is that something I've never heard of?
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
OK maybe your point is that it isn't "easy". But magafolk don't even seem to know that climbing it is POSSIBLE. However, as we both acknowledge, it is a climbable wall--and if one athlete out of a group can climb it then everyone else can get over it.
It's weird seeing white Australians marching & claiming that unchecked immigration is destroying the Australian way of life, but none of them are volunteering to go back to England.
most interesting thing about that photo is that he doesn't appear to have his orange makeup on
Raise a glass to the four of us Tomorrow there'll be MORE OF US
You're an ENGINEER? I'm not, and I figured out that it only takes ONE person in a group who knows how to climb the wall to help everyone. The one person who can climb, climbs up with ROPE & related gear, & creates a sling that can help weaker people climb up and safely lower them down.
Pips #14 Hard 🔴 4:54 Pips #14 Medium 🟡 2:34 logic of the medium one was more interesting!
Black is a scary color to Republicons so they think it is a scary color for eveyrone?
What is really stupid about the wall is that most illegal aliens came here in a plane or by car and just stayed here too long. Meanwhile, the orange dipshit has ICE goons nabbing people who are at immigration court trying to do it the right way. It was NEVER about illegal immigration--just power.

Think it through. How could the Dems have "countered with Barrett"?
A significant number of them support tRUmp out of fear, and they don't have the same reasons to fear Vance.
Republicons are finally being forced to show their hand--they want to restrict immigration to white folks only. Foreign doctors, teachers, students and other research scholars are all at risk now that the school year is beginning.
I deleted my previous message with the YT embed because apparently YT videos have unskippable ads attached to them now. /end
Wow. I'm late to this awe-inspiring protest party but glad to be here. Woody Guthrie crossed my mind, Dylan crossed my mind, I held back because for decades countless talented songwriters have been called the "next Dylan". Then I heard his "Siddhartha" on YT & now I am completely on board. /1
<< The Dems had the perfect opportunity to counter with Barrett>> If you are a human being, you need to check your talking points. If you want an answer I'll answer you, but if you'd rather spare yourself the embarrassment and delete your comment I'll give you a chance to do that first.
I'm familiar with the concept of white fragility. I can't think of anything I've ever posted here or anywhere that would lead you or anyone to imagine that I cooperate with white supremacy in any way, or that I have a problem with authentic confrontation & intense conversation about racial issues.
??? Did you mean to reply to me or to Blake?? If the latter, then I agree with you.
Nothing about your comment makes sense. If conservatives proposed legislation good for the country (something that has never happened) why would liberals block it? Dems HAVE blocked R legislation & nominees without being imprisoned. The very idea of Rcons calling a national strike is laughable.
You accidentally typed a period between two words. That's where the link came from. Happens to me all the time. Makes me VERY careful about reading through and proofreading my comments before I post them.
He has talked about it more than once.
magafolk voted for "let tRUmp do whatever he wants as long as he annoys/frustrates/angers/ terrorizes people who make me uncomfortable"

Blessing your timeline: Obama getting a huge ovation at Clippers game. This how you welcome a president:
Look up what presidents do & what Congress does. It's revealing that NONE of the Obama-bashers EVER blame Rcons for blocking every single thing he tried to accomplish. I'm suspicious of EVERYONE who looks at the coordinated organized white supremacist opposition he faced and blames Obama for it!
We didn't have the votes to "codify Roe" under Biden. Not one single day. And even if we had, the folks in charge now are ignoring laws as they please, with the blessing of the Supreme Court. Blame Republicons for what Republicons do. #BlameRepublicons
