Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Now we have a big decision to make. Do we take the pavers that are red -- the red, brick pavers -- and do we change them into a granite?"
Imagine thinking so little of yourself that you just let this half sentient rotten potato talk to you like this. I don't care if he's president, have some self respect.

TELL ME AGAIN ABOUT THE GROSS TREES
Democrats@democrats.org · 2d agoHUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.
Also, and this might sound weird? But these are not his problems to solve. This stuff is for residents and the local and state politicians they vote for. He’s supposed to have bigger fish to fry than “gross trees” in our cities.

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

Perimeters, not parameters. An excursion, not an incursion. Six genders, not cisgender. Insane asylums, not asylum. Transgender mice, not transgenic mice. The IQ of a potato.
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
“is the federal government assisting iran in their attacks on dem run states” is a legitimate question that needs to be asked
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoQ: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

Of course, this bill doesn't obviate their tax obligations or grant them independence. It would, instead, allow for the deportation of people *from their own birthplaces*. I cannot overstate how evil and racist this bill is. Please call your Congressional representatives and tell them:
A GOP Congressman, Griffith Morgan (Virginia), has introduced a bill to strip people in Guam, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and every other US non-state territory of their birthright citizenship. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

We could've made this montage of liars an hour long but you get the point
So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
Trump became president and started running the US government the way he believed it had been run by previous presidents: like a crime syndicate. But his corruption is so enormous and overt that instead of weakening trust in the institution, he’s just made all other presidents look like Eagle Scouts.
I predicted this. I'm also not sure they won't try to hack it.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.
This is weirdly like human-generated AI-slop: they're creating an entirely fictional reality for one man to inhabit.
