Do no harm. Take no shit. Not pithy
NEW: Their agenda is so unpopular, they’re rigging the midterms in plain sight. Trump and Republicans want to steal 5 House seats – not by earning votes, by redrawing maps. I wrote about this + why Democrats must use their power ruthlessly, just like Beto O’Rourke said on CNN.
We went from men emulating Gary Cooper to men who are like Gary from SpongeBob pretending to be John Wayne.
Meiselas: First off—people who are alpha don’t go around calling themselves alpha. Look, where I grew up, my dad would say: Being a man means standing by your word. Being a man means you push back against the bully, and you uplift people. You don’t punch down at marginalized…
"What would a reasonable person infer from this birthday letter?" A whack job riddled with cognitive dissonance dismisses it out of hand as fake news. But the average person seeing this new data point and hearing Trump’s reaction to it is thinking 'bro sounds guilty.'
"It seems to have panicked Trump....It's just sweaty panic." @RadioFreeTom talks Trump's continuing Epstein scandal with @Timodc in the latest episode of The Bulwark Podcast:
As a proud American, I never thought I’d be as lustfully jealous of another country’s system of justice the way I am right now about Brazil. They get it.
The reason ICE is masked has nothing to do with their safety. DEA agents taking down drug dealers don’t routinely mask. FBI agents, like my dad, don’t mask when arresting terrorists and serial killers. ICE masks because they are not a professional force with proper training.…
ICE abruptly stops car in middle of road—pulls out gun or taser & rushes to confront woman driver. Agents know exactly who the woman is—a well known activist who's been filming ICE for weeks. This is retaliation against a U.S. citizen—just for exercising their First Amendment…
“I never wrote a picture in my life”
I know this doesn't matter but a lady in ohio solicited doodles from celebrities to auction for charity and in 2004 she said that trump was always literally the first to send in his drawings
Kudos to the WSJ team who resisted legal threats from the president to do journalism about the president.
Hey MAGA, guess what? You suck at politics. The guy who you voted for to release the Epstein list is on the Epstein list and refuses to release it.
"There are more pictures of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein than there are trans athletes in the NCAA." -@clairecmc
The guy was awarded prosecutorial immunity by the SCOTUS thanks to dudes like Rogan. Of course he can hide anything. And even if he doesn’t-there ain’t a damn thing you can do about it except bitch and whine.
Joe Rogan: "They can lie about all kinds of things...Where's the Epstein Files? 'Oh, can't find them, don't exist.' Like, they can get away with shit, man."
But if you’re white and interfere, Tom Homan made it clear, you’ll be treated like you are brown, and you too will disappear.
The Trump/Noem Credo: “If you’re white, you’re all right. If you’re brown, get out of town.”
There’s nothing in the Epstein files and gas is $1.95 per gallon.
Trump: "The gas has gone to the lowest level in decades. You're seeing $1.99, $1.98, I saw $1.95 at certain states." Trump has been repeating this blatant lie in recent weeks. There are no states where gas is that cheap.
Reminder that the same people who have been lying for years about the Epstein files also claim the 2020 election was rigged and 'stollen.' Miraculously, there’s only one person I can think of who benefits from spreading both lies.
It's looking a lot more nefarious that Trump installed his personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, as the number 2 at Justice. And that DOJ official is involved in the Epstein file non-release. And a little odd that the mainstream media hasn't asked many questions about this.
