Trump: "I owned the Miss Universe pageant. And Miss Venezuela always did very well in that pageant. So I know something about the country."

Gets harder to scare people about invented villains when the real ones keep murdering people in broad daylight while stealing our healthcare and starving our children.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

Sounds good to me.

Biddeford Maine today - fatal ICE shooting "THIS IS BLOOD" www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

We need to charge every single ICE agent who pulled a trigger with murder, and every single one around them who refused to stop it with conspiracy to commit murder. This is grotesque.

Fuck. ICE.

ICE killed a person they weren't even looking for AGAIN. Second time in the past week.

Boy, I can’t imagine a tougher sell to the public that “we’re taking away one of your holidays because it’s woke”. “You should be working today” is something that the villain says as he tries to tear down the rec center and Americans know it.

Ironic from the brand that brings you t-shirts and hats that say "FREEDOM." I do think they misunderstand the concept.

I, for one, am pretty much convinced that this is all Trump revenge for failing as an airline owner.

Banks: "It's a great idea, blocking int'l flights into sanctuary cities harboring illegal immigrants. Send those international flights to red state cities and the country will be safer and better off for it. I think Sec. Mullin is on to something here. This is a good idea to punish those cities."

Trump is straight-up stealing your money to redirect it to the freaks and sex offenders who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Anyone else notice that someone tried to assassinate the President of the United States and the response from most of America is 🤷🏻‍♂️?

Today, I urge everyone to find and financially support an independent news outlet — one that will not be attending a spectacle dinner tonight to schmooze with the Trump administration while they berate the press.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

The military must not follow any orders to destroy "a whole civilization." Sane members of Congress should say this loudly now.
