If the Dems knew this, they should have said so. There is weakness across the political board universally when it comes to standing up to these fascists (Mark Carney excepted). Look at Rutte's pathetic grovel to Comrade Trump. The orange asshole was only too proud to share that with the world, and I'll wager he will be only too happy for all of Europe to be speaking Russian soon.
Well, that's the problem isn't it? The democratic "leaders" did know about it, and have done nothing to communicate it. They deserve every last bit of the criticism they get for this and many other things.
scott bessent isn't worried about the EU selling treasuries. what an arrogant, ignorant asshole. HE should be terrified of them selling off treasuries. That money is what pays his ICE goons so they show up to work to assault innocent people.
Food for thought Adam and Sam, we're watching a divide and conquer narrative brought to us by the 1%:
Ten Ways Billionaires Who Hate You Are Manipulating You Right Now by @thewisewolf
1) The first manipulation is the illusion of choice. You think you have two parties representing different visions for America but both parties are funded by the same billionaires, vote for the same surveillance bills, approve the same defense budgets, and serve the same corporate interests. The choice you are given is which color tie the puppet wears, not who controls the strings.
2) The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
3) The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
4) The fourth manipulation is false scarcity. You are told resources are limited and the other tribe is taking what belongs to you. Immigrants are stealing your jobs. Welfare recipients are draining your taxes. The other party is destroying your healthcare. Meanwhile the billionaire class has more wealth than any humans in history and could solve most of these problems tomorrow if they wanted to.
5) The fifth manipulation is memory holing. Stories that threaten powerful interests get buried or forgotten within days. Exposed crimes result in no consequences. Historical context that would help you understand the present is never taught. You are kept in a perpetual present with no past to learn from and no future to plan for.
6) The sixth manipulation is controlled opposition. The voices you think are fighting for you are often funded by the same interests they pretend to oppose. The outrage merchant on your side of the aisle is playing a character designed to keep you engaged and angry and tuned in while nothing ever actually changes.
7) The seventh manipulation is the Overton window. The range of acceptable opinion is artificially narrowed so that anything outside it seems extreme. Ideas that were mainstream fifty years ago are now treated as radical. Ideas that serve elite interests are treated as moderate common sense. You are not choosing your beliefs from the full range of human thought. You are choosing from a menu they wrote.
8) The eighth manipulation is learned helplessness. You are shown so many problems with no solutions that you eventually give up and accept that nothing can change. This is intentional. A population that believes resistance is futile does not resist. They scroll and complain and feel superior for understanding how bad things are while doing absolutely nothing about it.
9) The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
10) The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable
I heard about "getting pregnant from a toilet seat" but this is a new one... "I sat on the sofa after he fucked it and that must be how it happened..."
There's some unimaginable shit in those Trump-Epstein files. Do NOT let this story get away, folks.
Adam, early congratulations on the birth of your son tomorrow.
The Clintons should announce that they will appear AS SOON AS the entire Epstein Files cache are presented for all to see.
Not that Democratic "leaders" aren't cowards, but you need to read this Adam:

It's about the ICE budget, and 75 billion dollars from the Big FUCKED UP Bill republicans passed.

Are you just jumping to the different Progressive Newsletters to cut and past the same shit?
So, I'll say it again - I don't have anything in common with fascists. I'm sure most supporters of this page would agree.
"making a complete ass of himself" -- seems redundant
Note 7.
Betting asshole Rafael Cruz chicken shit less of a man prebooked his flight ticket.
GAWD DAMN, I will never forget how bad hypothermia felt.

We need Dems to stand up get some balls dammit. This is truth to power. Don’t be sitting on your hands do something.
Yes, what Chris said. James Kuo writes and explains how the big ugly bill has set up funding for ICE differently than usual. Please read and pass on.
Love you guys and the comment-ers❤️
Love you guys - and the cussing
Us: We’re sorry to ask, but are you sure he’s your real dad?
Me: Yeah, that was my thought before I even saw your comment.
oh come on, she sits on the same couch even if he's out with Erika
I heard about "getting pregnant from a toilet seat" but this is a new one... "I sat on the sofa after he fucked it and that must be how it happened..."
I hope Epstein’s victims act on their own. I don’t think they should assume anyone will save them.
I don’t see much reason in questioning the Clintons until the files are released&we have all of the information.
Trump is clearly not functioning as President. I don’t want Stephen Miller running the country. No body does
often in the real world your parents need help from the kids for upkeep on the one home they have.
Hooray for Justin Jones! We need more Dems like him!
