Just wait! Hakeem Jeffries said the inertia laden Dems are “waiting for a good pitch to hit.”

Write that shit on our collective tombstones. 🪦

Hakeem can go fuck himself. Wait for a pitch to hit, my ass. THEY ARE ALL PITCHES TO HIT and you should hit EVERY SINGLE ONE or they just get bolder.

Drop him like a hot potato and replace him with Jasmine Crockett or AOC. He's worthless.

Why oh why can’t we get the Crockett’s and Cortez’s into real Democratic leadership positions? Because the Dems are mired in their own inertia, reconciling dust while our Democracy dies. Do something and do it now dammit!

Yep, status quo, inertia, whatever you want to call it, we are “represented” by congressmen and senators that did nothing for decades to preserve our democracy. They were busy feathering their nests and chasing 💰 💰 💰 instead.

Sorry, no. I love the guy, but, he's not the guy to grab the bat and run with it. He wants to go play with the courts. Just another politician who brings a writ to a gun fight.

At least he has passion, is well-spoken and willing to go public. But I hear you. Need many reps to speak to different constituencies, I think. How the truth of what is going on will ever be known is beyond me at this point.

Well then, grab a copy of an OLD European history book and turn to 1933. Start reading. Keep reading through 1939. Then you will know EXACTLY the truth of what is going on now.

Some of us are aware; far too many people with their heads in the sand and their minds on autopilot. A shallow and spoiled society. People think, "It couldn't happen here", or now. The specific, modern techbro mechanisms need to be identified and illustrated as fascism, authoritarianism, and antithetical to values. A lot of people don't understand the terms, their definitions, and what they mean for individuals and collectives. Gotta educate and activate.

I’m curious as to why the “greatest military in the world” is getting its ass handed to it by an obese drug addict in a girdle and his pasty doll-hair SA fascist handler? Get these pricks out of our government.

I see the most disgusting, terrifying, and egregious thing Turmp has said regards blaming Ukraine for the Russian invasion and calling Zelinski a dictator. I think this is Europe, and the world's, Pearlt Harbor. More here: https://halbrown.substack.com/p/trump-just-gave-europe-its-pearl

Where are our former presidents? (I can appreciate the basketball documentary, but now is just not the time for such things.) Obama, Bush, Clinton, Biden?? Where are you? This is an extraordinarily consequential moment in history. Please rise to this inauspicious occasion.

The Trump** art of the deal: Negotiate with the Taliban to end the Afghan war but don’t include the Afghan government. Turned out pretty good. Negotiate the Abraham Accords but don’t include Hamas. Turned out pretty good. Negotiate with Russia to end the Ukraine war but don’t include Ukraine. What could go wrong?

Trumpon are doing more damage to the US than any terrorist ever hoped to accomplish.

"If you take millions off Social Security we'll have a much stronger Social Security" is akin in stupidity to "If you stop counting cases, you won't get any new cases!"

I really, seriously do not understand how MAGAts can hear that and think it somehow makes sense. Also, if you add up the number of people Trumpon says is "on Social Security", you realize that it pretty much quickly exceeds the number of working people in the entire country.

I am beyond hating the simping, cuckolds of Republicans in Congress that seem perfectly OK with all the crimes being committed.

Getting rid of the majority of us on Social Security is THEFT since we PAID INTO IT! As I say more often than not, I worked in the US a lot longer than the Toddler Human Shield’s “father”.

The people vandalizing the stupid cybertruck may have actually caused permanent damage. From reports I've seen, elon's "indestructible" ugly tank can be ruined by dirt or going through a car wash, lol.

Putin is trying to figure out what the 2 buddies T&M are up to.

Even he can’t grasp the situation. It worries him. He is trying to anticipate what it could mean to himself.

2 complete nut jobs in charge of the USA with access to vast amounts of cash , an army and nuclear weapons, and they are knocking on Putin’s door.

Holy mother Russia, what’s an xKGB pseudo czar to do?

No one is prepared for this insane asylum. 😂😜🤮🤣😂

The Orange Natzi doesn’t appear to understand ANYTHING… Getting more delusional by the day!!! Surely, we can ship Donny & his BFF/Putin off to one of those HIGH SECURITY-MENTAL INSTITUTIONS, he discusses in reference to ILLEGAL ALIENS…The US & Ukraine would both be, SAFER AGAIN!!!

Delusion/CONFUSION only gets worse as the Orange Natzi continues to attack Zelensky & call him a DICTATOR??????????

Definitely time to send Donny & Putin off to a Solitary, HIGH SECURITY… PRISON or Mental Institution & let them kill each other!!! THE SOONER, THE BETTER… MAKE AMERICA & RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Another reported memo, sent on 14 February, told relevant staff to make it a priority to cancel such mainstream media outlets as the Economist, the New York Times, Politico, Bloomberg News, the Associated Press and Reuters, the Post said.

Staff who object to canceling a subscription can apply to keep it but must briefly put forward strong justifications.

A state department employee who spoke anonymously to the Post described access to the news as necessary and said of the directive: “This will endanger American lives overseas because we are being cut off from news sources that are needed on a daily basis.”
