Centrist Dems Go to War With The 'Greatest Threat' Today: Hasan Piker! We couldn't roll our eyes in frustration any harder.

Note: The ‘greatest threat’ part is sarcastic.

Seeing this, one from now and a bunch from last election, makes it clear who hasn’t learned their lessons about elections.

“Vote Blue No Matter Who” is bullshit and has never worked because it’s not reciprocal.

You got 2 years. Find someone better than Gavin Fucking Newsom.
Stop wasting time.

It's staggering how this political eunuch has not just done nothing at all as Speaker of the House, but has actually worked to prevent his colleagues from doing anything at all as well.

Believe that.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

He never saw it coming. 🧵

The Shield - Final Scene YouTube video by Channel3451

While we can all be slightly happy that Bovino has been demoted, I’m reminded of the final scene of FX’s THE SHIELD.
Vic Mackey killed, robbed and burned everything abusing power as a LAPD cop and ends the series getting away with it while being stuck at a desk job for ICE. youtu.be/DLInlMQsrKk?...
