Imma call it now. Darializa won't help get a single bill passed and spends 2 whole years doing nothing but performative shit. Normie progs like AOC and Frost will try to reason with her, then eventually give up and move on. Then, she gets primaried after 1 term.

Amazing detail in this @wsj article about Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece: she told a Greek minister, in a conversation about the collapse of the Romanian government,“We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here." www.wsj.com/articles/kim...

In the case of the Cornell student who was raped by seven men, the first rapist sent a Snapchat to fraternity brothers telling them “free pussy” was upstairs. Even though not every man in that Snapchat group participated, not one of them tried to stop it. This is why we choose the bear.

Uyghurs get sent off to camps, our Pacific allies and friends get bullied, China gives Iran targeting intelligence to kill our service members and gets rewarded wit a state dinner While we deal with higher gas prices, unaffordable healthcare and measles Trump never met a dictator he didn't like.

anti-Xi protesters can still be heard, despite a band trying to drown them out, as Trump and Xi pose for photos

We were mid-handshake and he pulled me in and grabbed tighter and got upset and raised his voice and said: "What are you talking about man?! Those aren't real people. They're illegal aliens!"

Chronic illness spaces online have always been a toxic soup of quackery driven by desperation (which is why I avoid everything online that's not allergy and asthma-related), but covid conscious twitter has taken that to completely unhinged levels that aren't healthy for anybody in those spaces.

People need to stop saying that he’s “coming close” to being an autocrat. He IS. now. Every day. He acts like a king. He dictates. He does not believe in democracy. It’s not “almost like” — this is who he is.

Agreed! “Hanania is an early case of the type we will likely face in much greater numbers after Trump is gone. That is, some chunk of the far-right commentariat will try to make safe passage back to mainstream media. We should not let them.”

IMO it’s clear from Richard Hanania’s own words that he believes that rape, both statutory and violent, is the right of a certain kind of man. Elite men It’s appalling that this man is given a drop of ink or a second of interview time in our media. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/richard-hana...

It is, however, something that covid conscious twitter believes makes someone immunocompromised, and I don't even know how they all got that through their heads, because it's not even remotely true because it's not treated with immunosuppressants, it's treated by taking a hormone pill daily.

It will be a pure shitshow and the blame will get placed on "Establishment Democrats." If you follow me and genuinely care about this country, understand that those other people care more about ideology and power. They aren't our friends. They are chaos agents. Book it

Calling it now: Democrats will give Republicans a thrashing in Midterms. Its going to be bad. Here's the kicker though: After that, your favorite Blue checkmarks will commence to bashing Democrats except the one they like. They will make every candidate or potential candidate toxic

Sen. Murray: Do you believe an IUD is a form of abortion? Overton: If confirmed, I'll be briefed on the FDA's decision Sen. Murray: You didn't answer the question. It is deeply alarming that the prospective FDA commissioner doesn't know that birth control is not an abortion.

Translation: Antonio Guterres has blinders on towards the deaths of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh, Yezidis and Druze in Syria, Black indigenous Africans in Sudan Ethiopia and Congo and Nigeria and blinders on towards Yemeni ppl in Yemen He also has blinders on towards Iranians and Ukrainians 1/
