Liz Dye@lizdye.bsky.social · 4h agoNYT says Trump is going to take the Qatari bribe jet AND one of the old Air Force Ones when he leaves office. He can put the broken down old one in his presidential library and do what he likes with the new one we just paid billions of tax dollars to retrofit. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...
I've seen a lot of things where people are like, "RFK is just promoting healthy eating," and it's amazing what branding can do, because as far as I've seen, the main dietary things that RFK has pushed are the importance of eating fast food fried in a particular animal fat and drinking raw milk.

If you're wondering where the fuck they get these weirdos, "Amanda holds a B.A. in history from Yale and an M.Phil. in international relations from the University of Cambridge." This is the chattering class. This is the ruling elite. This is how their rotted brains work.

I vote for shitty moderate Democrats all the time in general elections. I do it because Republicans are demons from hell, not because I care about the opinions of people like this. But man is it annoying.
Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · 23h agoEl-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!
The most glaring double standard in American politics today is that if a Democrat said 1/10th about GOP-leaning areas what this guy says about cities on the daily there'd be a media dogpile so swift and vicious there'd be nothing left of their bones for the hyenas to pick at.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoTrump: "You see it in the blue states run by Democrats -- everything is filthy dirty all the time. The cities stink The sidewalks are loaded w/horrible stuff. I don't want to use the term bc my wife hates it. She hates it when I imitate no men in women's sports, when I do the weightlifter."
"Trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David, where he demanded answers from Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options ... "Hegseth defended himself and blamed his deputy for the shortages ... "
Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David over Iran missile depletion concerns
At a Camp David summit this weekend, President Trump demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over extreme munitions shortages.

Again folks, just need to keep pointing this out: the traditional corporate media covering politics essentially drove Biden out of the WH for this. ↘️

Major update: CBS tried to silence a key Epstein interview. I did the interview instead. Meanwhile, the New Mexico DOJ is taking Trump to court over Epstein and the Truth Commission released its preliminary report. Trump is racing to stop the BBC from getting discovery. And more.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h agoSCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
All you have to do is listen to the guy and a million red flags go up. There is zero concern for his daughter. Just tossing blame. A normal parent would be visibly upset and would stop at nothing to find out who hurt her.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoNEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen? MAX MILLER: What I can tell you is I didn't do that. 9 of the 11 previous days was my ex-wife's care. What's so troubling about child protective services is ...
The booing of what sounds like a foreign (and no doubt in the man's mind, 'Islamic') name, really speaks volumes about the mindset of some Trump supporters. Even when Trump is gone, this white Christian nationalist section of US society will still remain.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoLOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

Some New Jersey Democrats still don’t get what’s at stake with Trump and Republicans pushing extreme gerrymanders on the whole country. Unilaterally disarming won’t save democracy when gerrymandering requires a national solution
NEW: Maryland Democrats just passed a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 in response to Republican gerrymanders elsewhere. If voters pass it in November, Democrats could enact a map like this earlier proposal to target the lone Republican, Andy Harris
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 6d agoMaryland Democrats have unveiled their constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 if voters approve it in November. It would insulate congressional maps from legal challenges and specify that existing restrictions on maps only apply to state Senate/House maps
AP calls a DEFEAT for Kansas Amendment 1, which would have replaced the current merit-based selection of state Supreme Court justices with partisan statewide elections. GOP wanted this change to try to overturn a ruling protecting abortion rights, but voters emphatically said no.
Two more GOP amendments go down to crushing defeats, both in MO. #4 would have made future ballot initiatives impossible to pass by requiring winning a majority statewide *and* in each congressional district. #5 would have eliminated the state income tax.
These pricks are raised in a bubble of privilege & immunity, told their entire lives that it's their right to have whatever they want & dominate anyone lower on the class or gender totem pole. They can not simply pivot, one day to the next, to a plausible attitude of regret & contrition. They can't!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
THE $168 BILLION WAS TAKEN ILLEGALLY AND THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE IT BACK. Kill me I’ve wasted my life.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
here’s the thing about max miller: he’s just your run of the mill MAGA chud who’s used to doing whatever he wants with zero consequences. but now he’s actually being forced to explain himself and claw his way out with excuses that would pass muster in Trump world but not with normal people.
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoCornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"
