seeing republicans on tv saying that if they don't win, we might see violent rioters trying to overthrow the government, and I agreed until they specified that they mean dems

Fine. Illegal aggression. Fine. War crimes. Fine. Kidnapping children fine. Destroying infrastructure. Fine. Threatening the security of all of Europe. Fine. All of it is fine. As usual with Trump, the criminals are protected, even advocated for. It's the victims who are condemned and abandoned.

BREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department's action.

Tuned into #AT40 on the way home from the health club, just in time to hear Wink Martindale and "Run Joey Run." Got the icks, decided just to give this week's countdown a pass. (I was in 9th grade in Oct of 1975 & I barely remember that song, and I can't believe it made it all the way to number 4.)

Millions of Americans literally bet their life that RFK Jr, a complete crackpot, knew science better than the CDC and Jonas Salk and just about every living doctor

Which will hopefully all be torn down in the dead of night by the next administration.

Reasons to know Trump is lying: 1) He is communicating. 2) If data centers are a geographic benefit to communities, you can be sure they'd be siting and building them in affluent and politically connected environs. Curiously, they're dumped in poorer, less influential places. Go fucking figure.

"America and the rest of the world are now witnessing a public exhibition of narcissistic rage. Trump embarked on a war for personal glory, and what he got instead was ongoing humiliation. He clearly finds it all unbearable." I confess that I'm finding it rather unbearable, as well.

Pretty soon, it is going to sink into the Great Mind that no member of the Trump Admin has done the president more damage to his personal reputation than Hegseth.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

Dear Bill, No. No one is saying you “should’ve seen the future.” What we were all saying at the time is you should’ve studied his past. By confirming RFK Jr, you abandoned your oath as a doctor. Shame on you. Now just fucking own it. Don’t lie about it. Best, Your Former Congressional Colleague

Cowards blame others for the shit that they themselves have caused. Trump is a big, big coward.

Trump just blamed Biden for low weapons stockpiles, said he'll ask Putin if he's helping Iran target US troops but takes his word for it that he isn't, refused to say where the money he's pillaging from VZ is going, threw Bibi under the bus, & capped it off by snapping at a woman reporter Supercut:

Fox host Brian Kilmeade dismissed the advice of the network’s own senior medical analyst, Dr. Marc Siegle, by saying there is “not a chance” he will wear a KN95 mask.

one of the supposedly damning docs the White House released tonight says Russia tried to undermine BIDEN. Also says China "prefers that President Trump be defeated" but actually "Beijing did not intend to try to affect the election" (!)

WTF, Philly, move your stupid weather reporting to one of the other channels. Coastal New Jersey does not need to interrupt my show. Arrrrgh! #BB28

What the actual fuck? Look, I'm sorry to keep saying this, but the president is clearly a dementia-ravaged necrotic husk of a man whose addled rants bear no actual resemblance to reality and I, for one, think that is concerning.

Trump on the CHIPS Act: "If you weren't transgender, you didn't qualify. So they'd get the money, they'd look all over for transgender people to run the company."

This is well done, and Dems should use the inability to simply accept the validity of the 2020 election as justification to remove and bar every single one of these people from public service.

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

An ungracious, narcissistic, bitter exit, which he begins by saying that the allegations against him are completely false - in effect calling his accusers liars - followed by ten more minutes of Trump-like paranoia about "them" Good luck getting this guy and his people on board against Collins.

Graham Platner suspends his campaign, allowing Democrats to select a new candidate to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a key November midterm election race.

That's it, dude. "Large forces" and the "corporate media" are to blame. I'm sure it has nothing to do with all the abusive, rapey, and mendacious Nazi stuff, you've been done in by the deep state and the press.🙄

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 4mo ago

BREAKING: Graham Platner drops out of the U.S. Senate race in Maine. Platner posted an 11-minute (!!) video to announce he’s dropping out, in which he blamed “large forces” and the “corporate media” for the very credible sexual assault allegations against him. Good riddance!

Platner's fall to earth had zero to do with his agenda and 100 percent due to the fact that he was an asshole, unfit for the Senate. But some idiots thought: hey, what we need is a Dem who looks and sounds like a Rogan listener...because that's what the media had been saying since 2024. No.

what if news outlets were honest with their readers that this is a narcissistic sociopathic geriatric charlatan operating at a third grade reading level who has absolutely no idea how literally anything works

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

At NATO, Trump referred to the "Islamic Republic of Japan." He called President Zelensky President Putin. He also intensified the war with Iran by calling the Iranians "scum." If only there were a constitutional mechanism to remove a president unable to discharge the powers & duties of his office.

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?
