There are other elements that support extremism, but RW violence is the salient threat. They are holding the levers of power. Extremists have consumed their party. Moderates are dormant, effectively extinct in the GOP--cowed into silence with a few exceptions. So, the RW should be the real concern.
Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.
This administration of saboteurs, arsons, and vandals must be resisted robustly, but with tactical restraint and carefulness. They want to create a pretext for assumption of extraordinary powers.
It's only a matter of time before these hunters become the hunted. That is neither a threat nor a recommendation--just a prediction based upon decades of historical study.
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Hey, Trump fluffers! Delaying the inevitable release will only increase the weight of the hammer when it comes down.
Holy shit.
I see Trump sycophants desperately trying to rationalize and gaslight the obvious resistance and slow-walking of the release of the files in violation of federal law. I see Trump fluffers in Congress throwing red herrings to take the heat off Dear Leader. Keep your eye on the ball, America.
The reflexive dimwits crying that Democrats are also in the Epstein files seem to miss the excruciatingly obvious point, as they are inclined to do. No one cares if full disclosure nets some Democrats, Republicans, socialists, libertarians, vegetarians, pescatarians... Let the sunshine in. ☀️
Braun is such a groveling supplicant. He is no leader and even less of a man. 🤮 One hopes the legislature will hold the line on his matter.
Not long before, he (inappropriately and unethically) requested that Atty General Pam Bondi open investigations into several prominent figures mentioned in the files. Do you suppose this was so he can claim that many of the files cannot be released, as they are integral to ongoing investigations?
Facing an outright revolt among Republicans in the House, despite his efforts to "persuade" some to vote "no" on the release of the Epstein files, Trump suddenly shifts course, declaring that he wants them released... Well, all of those that can be released "legally." 🤔Hmm.
A man with such a fragile and thirsty ego can be manipulated so easily. Good luck, Murka!
He just lies. His fans DGAF. Truth has no relevance in their world.
This reminds me of his pitch for Trump’s miracle cure “signature” vitamin supplements in 2009, which were available for a bargain price if you signed up for a membership with the Trump Network and submitted a urine test because they customized them to your needs. bsky.app/profile/atru...
The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”
Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores
You can’t make this shit up, folks
So inflation and cost of living has been going up every month since this administration took over…this administration that promised it would all come down on day 1?
Now it’s because of the previous administration?
The one that had nothing to do with tariffing the entire planet?
Makes sense.
The hot takes are just that. We'll see where this stands after January 30.
The Senate Republicans' resistance to axing the filibuster is more than mere institutionalist preservation. If the filibuster ends, they have no cover. They are pressured to vote for idiotic and dangerous bills without the cover of a Democratic filibuster preventing them from passing.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
The gang that can't shoot straight
They never say this “liquid” bullshit when it comes to tax cuts for the rich or wars or giving money to their friends (in Argentina) etc
See through it
😶
Or that he just conceded that the shutdown was blamed on the Republicans... oops 😎
🤣
🙃
