Imagine being so stupid that you think the fact that it takes longer to count the votes in places where there are a lot of votes than it does to count the votes in places where there are *not* a lot of votes is somehow a conspiracy.
These two editorials by the Washington Post expose how the Republican Party and Democratic Party are held to completely different standards by the media.
Texas gerrymander: “Not a threat to democracy.”
Virginia gerrymander: “Power grab by Democrats.”
They think you're stupid.
The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
The company under Nunes never made a dollar of profit, but siphoned off many millions of investor dollars to put in the pockets of himself, the Trump family, and grifters in their orbit. Typical of most Trump business enterprises.
You're going to want to watch this.
Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did. I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!

Trump on his historically dismal approval numbers: "The polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged"
This chaos is going to hit America in the near future, look what Trump and Netanyahu's war is doing to Asia-Pacific.
Now, we're in the "shortages" phase.

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
Now DOJ is demanding 2024 ballots from Michigan without a proper legal basis. Is it just a coincidence that it’s targeting swing states like Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona in the lead-up to the 2026 election?

Breaking WaPo:
The Trump Justice Department is now demanding all ballots from the 2024 election in the Detroit area — a highly unusual move that comes shortly after prosecutors seized 2020 ballots in Georgia and obtained 2020 election records in Arizona.
"Fascism cannot be appeased; this is a core assertion of resistance liberalism."

Real “man of the people” stuff here.
as far as i can tell pope leo has never mentioned trump by name hes just like “killing people is wrong” or “concentration camps arent good” and theyre all taking it personally
The White House doesn’t have a Ballroom (No Taxpayer Money!), which Presidents have desperately wanted and desired for over 150 years, but a Trump Hating, Washington, D.C. District Court Judge, a man who has gone out of his way to undermine National Security, and to make sure that this Great Gift to America gets delayed, or doesn’t get built, is attempting to prevent future Presidents and World Leaders from having a safe and secure large scale Meeting Place, or Ballroom, one with Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass —which all means that no future President, living in the White House without this Ballroom, can ever be Safe and Secure at Events, Future Inaugurations, or Global Summits. This Magnificent Space will allow them to carry out their vital duties as the Leader of our Nation. Furthermore, the Ballroom, which is being constructed on budget and ahead of schedule, is needed now. Almost all material necessary for its construction is being built and/or on its way to the site, ready for installation and erection. Much of it has already been paid for, costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. If somebody, especially one with no standing, had a complaint — Why wasn’t it filed many months earlier, long before Construction was started? The Public Record was open for all to see. Everybody knew that it was planned, and going to be built. This highly political Judge, and his illegal overreach, is out of control, and costing our Nation greatly. This is a mockery to our Court System! The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump rants his ballroom will feature "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass"
Dafuq kind of ballroom is this?
I know, it's done to death but if President Biden had blundered his way into a needless war that then left US service members stranded in hostile waters with food supplies running low, the right would've stormed the White House to tar and feather him
“It was the dumbest of times… it was the stupidest of times…”
The Army has shut down several U.S. military-affiliated social media accounts after they published content praising Senator Tammy Duckworth for her service.
New in PN: Trump's polling is terrible and getting worse
"As for the Jesus imagery he posted on Truth Social & then deleted? Well, new polling asked Americans about it, & about 60% disliked it (including 49% strongly). At this point, even Jesus would have a hard time resurrecting Trump’s numbers."
It's kind of perfect that amid a battle with (of all people) the Pope over theology (of all things) this idiotic TV host administration is quoting Tarantino movies as if they were real scripture.
JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:
It’s so creepy that these people see major declines in teen pregnancy as a bad thing.
