He Is The Storm.
The reality of corporate integration with the machinery and machinations of the global fascist movement is far more frightening than any conspiracy theory.

Watching Doug Wilson (Hegseth’s Pastor) get mainstream attention has been genuinely depressing.
But this interview was the long overdue “right side up” moment: he’s not nearly as sharp, or serious as he performs.
Seeing Wajahat peel back the act in real time was deeply satisfying.👇

“…as Democrats, we simply can’t come to a boxing match when the person brings a knife. We’re just not going to be able to survive that. So that’s the position we’ve been forced into.”
ROSENBERG: “.. You have to go all the way back to October 2022 to see a retail sales report like this where not one category declined — a time when the household sector was still swimming in $2 trillion of fiscal stimulus checks ..”
I believe this is what in other instances has been termed, “the big enchilada.”
In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.
He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
DACA protections are important to voters like me.
Dreamers are here through no fault of their own. They grew up here, went to school here, built their lives here. They are part of our communities, and they deserve protection.
This is where Xavier Becerra actually did the work.

Because there aren't 1700 Iranian sleeper cells and Traitor Trump is a racist, bigoted fucking asshole. Any other questions?
NOTE: If Kash Patel indeed brings manufactured criminal cases over the 2020 election this week—something he knows a lot about, as he sought fake evidence from Kremlin agents to steal the 2020 election for Trump—it’s *not about 2020*.
It’s about rigging elections *going forward*.
Do you regard anyone who asks a question about your settings an imbecile because they can’t read your mind?
Why ARE you projecting the beliefs, attitudes and values of a minority of American adults upon all of us?
Anyone know what this idiot is thumping the floor about?
That there is a bum source, Harry.
JD Vance is bragging about cutting weapons to Ukraine while cozying up to authoritarians. This isn’t America First, this is America Last. I unpack all of this in my Week In Review on my YouTube page: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsI_...
Trump will never succeed in proving a lie to be true.
That is, in sum, the method of his peculiar insanity.
Nonsequiter: What subject of or participant in this chat has lied about what they believe on the question at hand, or has suggested that lying about their beliefs about any question of controversy is preferable to stating their sincere beliefs to the public, even if unpopular?
Did you never learn how to fix that?
If I had a dollar for every woman I know who is the "nurse & the purse" for their over 50 boyfriend or husband. They are the reason the family has health insurance.
Because the body breaks down in most trades. I would point this out to glass technicians advising them to save wisely.

Trans people are not being discriminated against in high school athletics in CA where he serves as governor.
And if the SCOTUS decides states have a right to do so, the extent of his enlightenment on this question will become irrelevant for as long as it is controlled by a conservative majority.
If we ever allow sincerity to be held against candidates for the highest office in the land, then this country will quickly find itself in much much deeper shit than it’s already in thanks to the criminal enterprise known as the Republican Party.
Why would agreeing with the vast majority of the American public on a question of basic fairness be a problem for any candidate willing to weather the storm of protest that his frankly stated opinions have generated from the minority who disagree?
Newsom continues to enforce and has defended AB1266 against threats by the federal DOJ and actively opposed Republican bills seeking to ban trans athletes from girls’ teams, in spite of having personal reservations about the fairness of trans girls and women competing with cisgender girls and women.
What policies are those?
CA permits by law K-12 athletes to participate in sports according to their gender identity.
Of ~800,000 high school athletes here, ~10 are trans.
Even if the SCOTUS upholds state bans on competition by trans athletes, the CA leg is not going to change the law.
Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.
No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.
The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.
I look upon such posts as gifts and their replies as a welcome opportunity to rid my feed of the accounts of users who have nothing of value to contribute to the national dialogue.
