Another damn MSM article about Trump’s vandalism claim that omits the essential fact that it is delusional. There never was any vandalism of any kind. He just couldn’t accept his own fuck-up. And anyone who went along was just telling him what he wanted to hear. apnews.com/article/trum...

No evidence? No problem. Trump pushes ahead on false claims that Reflecting Pool was vandalized

Now why the Hell can’t we do that here in America?! Oh wait, that’s right! Because the Supreme Court says Corporations are people too and they have rights just like us Americans. And because our public servants are bought and paid for by those same corporations. America could have nice things.

It is beyond unconscionable, and morally indefensible, that more than six months have passed with no charges filed in the murders of Renee Good or Alex Pretti.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.

While Miller’s abuse, Clancy’s trial, and Smith’s tradwife back-pedaling may seem like very different stories, they’re all connected by one common thread: the outraged response from women, especially mothers.

Trump Administration Plans to Upend Head Start by Deregulating It (Gift Article)

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

If you're curious about how the right is going to try to frame the horrific fires in Spokane Washington, it looks like they plan to blame them on homeless people, local (DEM) city leadership, and state (DEM) mismanagement of forests. So, many of the same frames as the LA fires.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)

The Trump admin’s case against Davey Hearn should have never been brought. Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.

📌Trump’s a racist’s racist. A traitor’s traitor. A liar’s liar. Nobody has pushed more dangerous junk into the veins of America than Donald the Dealer. You’d think he’d be easy to quit, but nasty habits are hard to break, and require guts, and decency Trump is betting his users will never acquire.
