Marni von Wilpert for Congress@marnivonwilpert.bsky.social · yesterday

ICE is not law enforcement, it's chaos and terror in our communities.  We need a compassionate immigration system.  When I get to Congress, I'll fight to keep masked agents away from our schools.

“Trump says the press smeared Roger Marshall as ‘a Shylock type guy’”. Shylock is the Jewish moneylender invented by Shakespeare. By the early 20th century in America, to call someone a ‘Shylock’ was to imply that they were greedy and dishonest.

Someone who had to have Daddy pay someone else to take the SAT for him because he's so breathtakingly ignorant probably should have the self-awareness not to question the credentials of a Rhodes Scholar who studied at Oxford. But Donald is a stupid, racist liar with ZERO self-awareness.

"Vladimir Putin’s regime is an enemy of the United States, and President Donald Trump is giving it aid and comfort, subordinating vital American interests to the Kremlin’s interests. It’s that simple." [Andrew McCarthy, @nationalreview.bsky.social]

Jeff Tiedrich: Ossoff excels at knowing exactly where to stick the knife. Back in the Oval Bordello, a ketchup bottle just got hurled against the wall, as Dear Leader hears himself get called senile, and has his crowd size made fun of. Boo fucking hoo, bro. www.jefftiedrich.com/p/no-kings-f...

Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday… oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one endured two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its five month high.

“Look at the muscles on this guy." “Get up here, please. I want to check him out." "We're allowed to have big, strong, handsome soldiers now. … There are some reasons to be president” “his guy walks through the door. I said, look at this beautiful guy."

Moments later, Mr. Trump congratulated the top achiever in the class on fitness tests. The crowd cheered.
"Wow, this guy must be something," Mr.
Trump said. "I think we'll have to invite him up."
The president added: "Get up here, please. I want to see. I want to check him out."
As the graduate approached the stage, Mr.
Trump exclaimed, "Look at the muscles on this guy."Later in his remarks, Mr. Trump turned his focus to the military, saying that because he was president he spent time with soldiers from "central casting"
"We're allowed to have big, strong, handsome soldiers now, the president said.
He declared, "you couldn't hire guys that look this good," and added it was an experience he hadn't had at Trump Tower.
"There are some reasons to be president," he said."I never did that with a man before," Mr.
Trump said. "I examined his ass, and then I looked at his shoulders. I looked at his feet. I looked at his hand. I looked at his jawline. Studied him. He's got a jawline."
Mr. Trump delivered a similar commentary at the rally on Monday.
"I looked, and I watched up and down," Mr. Trump said earlier in the week.
Speaking directly to Mr. Husted from the stage on Monday, Mr. Trump said:
"Congratulations. Now they finally know."Mr. Gallrein defeated a Republican critic of Mr. Trump, Representative Thomas Massie, in a primary in May. Mr. Trump had long targeted Mr. Massie for defeat.
"I needed somebody good, and this guy walks through the door," Mr. Trump said of Mr. Gallrein. "I said, look at this beautiful guy."

"I examined his ass... I never did that with a man before." For a party obsessed with attacking LGBTQ+ rights and virtue-signaling about traditional masculinity, watching Donald Trump publicly thirst over Jon Husted’s body on live TV is peak, jaw-dropping hypocrisy.

MS NOW's Antonia Hylton reported, "We have…breaking news as we follow No Kings protests nationwide. A spokesperson for No Kings says the main accounts for the coalition on Instagram were frozen & pulled down…at the peak of their national day of action.” www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
