I’m not willing to regard Trump slaughtering wild horses at the same time he’s offering Americans cheap “ground beef” as simply a coincidence . . .
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 4d agoYou think Trump can’t possibly become any worse of a monster, and then you find out his administration is sending America’s wild horses to slaughterhouses. What the Trump administration is doing to our wild horses is absolutely disgusting. 🤮 There has to be a line.
There is no common ground. Jeffries needs to go and Kushner needs to go to prison
Tom Joseph thinks Trump is terrified of being impeached when the House flips, and Kushner was sent to ask for a deal. Maybe Jeffries should have said no to a meeting, but there's no sign he conceded. Be wary of "bad Dems" stories - all leaks are motivated, and the press will push Trump's version.
Two thoughts abt Jeffries meeting Kushner: 1) The time to get worked up about this is January, if and when Trump allows a free and fair election, if and when Dems win the House.
Kushner and Trump didn’t “plant stories about meeting with Jeffries to sow division.” You have to give up on these cathartic storylines that make you feel better about what’s actually happening: the parties, as presently constituted, on behalf of the same wealth and oligarchical classes.
I’m not saying Hakeem Jeffries is controlled opposition. I am saying that controlled opposition would absolutely be having secret meetings with Jared Fucking Kushner.
