I don’t care about politics at all… which is why I waited until people started calling me a coward, before saying anything in public.

Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"

“or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men” A veritable epidemic of “men” knocking poor tiny JV high school basketball players to the gym floor… totally real and not in any way made up

Rep Max Miller made a video smearing his ex-wife as a liar. He claims his daughter’s injuries happened at daycare. He blames left-wing media. And he sounds drunk. I’m not going to share the video. It’s triggering if you’re a DV survivor.

Peter Thiel has promoted the Sovereign Individual, which says that the shift from “mass democracy” to “individual sovereignty” can happen “invisibly” (and without a shift in public opinion) via tax-free zones & free ports & that the power of nation states will eventually splinter into fragments. 1/

The reason why RFK Jr. loves talking to cable news hosts, instead of doctors… is because cable news hosts are unprepared morons.

RFK: "You are saying nonsense." Bash: "I am not saying nonsense, excuse me?…This is not productive. " RFK: "You're talking nonsense…You were scaring people." Bash: "Why are you saying that?" RFK: "Because that was the job of CNN." Bash: "Okay, stop."

Q: Who from the administration is talking to Iran? TRUMP: Steve, Jared, JD is involved, Marco Q: They say talks aren't happening TRUMP: All they do is make me angry

Pairs perfectly with Trump’s original plan to surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan, a plan which almost turned into Trump pulling all troops from Afghanistan and Africa by Jan 20th, 2021 Americans and allies would have been slaughtered had Pentagon leadership not threatened resignations to stop

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · last wk.

"This war almost certainly won’t end without the Trump WH fully embracing an objectively mortifying capitulation to Tehran...not a visual that Trump’s titanic ego is willing to accept." Remember, Trump privately demanded his aides find a way for him to say he got more from Iran than Obama did!

One thing Americans never yelled when seeing an Edsel on the road: “Hey look everyone! It’s the Ambassador of Divorce!”

(Pops head up) People are talking about white people in heavy makeup playing other races in old movies (thanks to a tantrum about a certain film) and that is an important topic but here’s the deal: more often than not, they didn’t bother with makeup and everyone was just white. Still happens

Before the fake peace deal, the U.S. was bleeding 9 Million barrels a week out of the SPR During the fake peace deal… it only dropped in half The levels have not been this low since April 1983… when it was increasing after being created

Jim Acosta says all the Trump vanity projects should be torn down: This is like the end days of Saddam Hussein that we’re seeing right now, with the way he’s trying to build things and take over projects down in Washington, D.C. It does not speak to somebody who is at all healthy.
