Fox News has already labeled El Sayed as a "communist." I dont think they know what a communist is. It appears that they define it as if you want to work for the people instead of your rich donors, you're a communist.

The way Republicans caved on Blanche feels different. It feels seismic. I don't know if it's because the DOJ as an independent institution has been completely unraveled or if the sleeping dragon of American democracy was awakened by its collapse. I hope the latter & pray Republicans rue this day.

Donald Trump WILL direct his supporters to attack polling places. He'll try to do it where he maintains plausible deniability in his mob boss style. So he'll probably suggest they go to polling places & "take back their country." Then he'll declare a state of emergency. Bookmark this post.

You have to ask yourself, why is the GOP so compliant to Trump? Is it his hold on the base? That's faded at least 10+ pts. Is it his popularity? Of course not. He's at a record low of 32-34%. No. I submit that his iron hold on the party is simple. Kompromat. The Russians gave it to him in May 2017.

Y'all realize that the reason Pirro is dropping these cases is because they lied to the grand jury, and Hearn's lawyers asked for the transcripts. If they turn those over, they're facing disbarment. That's why box-o-wine defied Trump. They'll drop all 6 cases soon.

This is how you win tournaments when you own the course. Has he ever NOT cheated at ANYTHING?

I can't understand why this isn't a bigger story right now. Capital One's criminal division staffed by former cops found enough evidence of money laundering to close 380 accounts, without notifying the Trumps. HOW INCRIMINATING IS THAT!? High Crimes & Misdemeanors anyone? apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump accounts were closed in 2021 due to concerns over possible money laundering, Capital One says

Capital One closed President Donald Trump’s accounts in mid-2021 after flagging financial activity that resembled money laundering.

Where is the Hollywood blockbuster where the sitting POTUS sells out his covert operatives, turns a blind eye to the enemy offering bounties on the heads of American servicemembers while relieving sanctions on that enemy. Who, in that blockbuster, wouldn't suspect the POTUS of being a traitor?

Suicide by cops is what they called it. My Q is: Why is that a thing? Because US cops shoot first, ask questions later, & everyone knows this. THAT should not be happening. Ever. They're way too quick to shoot before discerning what they're even holding. www.frontpagedetectives.com/p/austin-pol...

Austin Police Shooting of Black Teen Who Called 911 To Report Possible Threat Sparks Crisis Response Questions

The fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old in Austin raises urgent questions about mental health response, crisis intervention and police use of force.

The fact that Texans keep voting for Ken Paxton just encourages Ken Paxton to be an even more despicable person.

You might have a problem with your society when you're reading bullets and not books.

This was inevitable, but the case wasn't the point. It was a psy-op to deflect blame away from the corruption that got the company the contract. I guarantee you Trump got a cut of the taxpayer money used to pay "his pool guy." That's why costs kept going up from $2m-$16m. He got a % of all that.

BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.

Being able to ignore the fact that Trump was president during the Covid outbreak AND during the "stolen" election of 2020 requires disingenuous politicians with zero honor and gullible idiots who are incapable of the most basic of critical thinking as supporters. Trump has both in spades. Sad.

I have a genuine fear of shenanigans in Texas. Talarico is by far the better candidate. He's leading relatively comfortably in the polls, & Paxton is uniquely horrible. I'm afraid Paxton will magically surge to a win. Look for Musk/Trump shenanigans. It's that important to them. Bookmark this.

So a pool hose broke yesterday. I look for a replacement at Lowes & Walmart. I can only find them online. So to hold for now I look for a repair kit. I find 1 online at Walmart for $6.97. Its in stock, on the shelf for $6.97. I check out, get home & realize they charged me $9.98. I double check

The most amusing thing to me about this era we're in will be the questions from future generations of "What the fuck was wrong with y'all!?" LOL. And I wont have a coherent answer.

When did a large portion of us become ok with having a criminal, actively committing more crimes in the White House? I say 2015, when the GOP let him run roughshod over their proposed nominees. The Epstien files were right there for opposition research, but nobody mentioned them. Including the Dems.

Oooohhh, not a good look! I hope this dooms her. I don't trust her.

Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.

I just randomly started watching Sunday night baseball. ( I've always been a huge baseball fan), and I am wonderfully amused by John Kruk. This guy has as much personality in the booth as he had on the field.

A better value for your money can not be found. Marc & his firm are truly heroes.

When I started Democracy Docket in 2020, I knew that the legacy media was failing us. They were too interested in false neutrality. Their focus was on their corporate owners and commercial advertisers, not the public they served. newsletters.democracydocket.com/why-im-askin...

The only way we'd be ok with Trump running for a 3rd term was if he ran against Obama, who would also be seeking a 3rd term. The humiliating defeat Trump would suffer would be absolutely GLORIOUS.

Quick! Somebody loan me money so I can bet on Kalshi how many times he falls asleep!

The wind blows, and Donald Trump ignores the Supreme Court and levies tariffs on Canada. That is a figurative and literal fact.

Does anyone think Trump has recognized what a debacle the war is? Has he realized that Bibi fucked him? He's taking all the heat while Bibi hides in Israel.

What did Idiocracy get wrong? I submit to y'all that the only thing close to wrong was Pete Hegseth as a black man and president. He was a gung-ho idiot who thought that bigger guns made him a bigger man. Yeah. Pete Hegseth. We're closer to this than we like to think we are.

Correct language: "OpenAI at fault" If an AI tech firm says its "AI went rogue", let's be clear. The AI tech firm is at fault for designing a dangerous product, in the same way a car manufacturer is at fault for designing a dangerous car. The car itself is not at fault. www.bbc.com/news/article...
