ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS… “You will never understand the sacredness of the olive trees, Which you've been cutting down and burning for decades just to spite us, just to break our hearts a little more. No one native to that land would dare do such a thing to the olives.” -Susan Abulhawa🫒 😢👏👏👏👏
Unclear who this funeral speech is more embarrassing for, Hannity or Graham. How fitting.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger.

I present to you absolute, undeniable proof that this man below is completely the dumbest person in WORLD HISTORY ever, to form a government. I am still having a hard time with the fact that he is so... fucking... STUPID!!!

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · last mo.Awful: After SCOTUS ruling, Trump is free to deport thousands of Haitians from deep red Clark County, Ohio. It may now take a big economic hit.
