“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into Heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into Heaven.” - Acts 1:11, NIV

Playing victim, and yet he ends his post by insinuating his daughters have mental disorders. SMH.

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful: 1. Fake news, it didn’t happen. 2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened. 3. So it happened, so what. 4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

College football's problem is the same one it's had the last few years: there really isn't anyone looking out for the sport itself. sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

I don't understand why Trumpers persist in thinking the president is a king ... unless he's a Democrat, in which case he's not even a president.

Trump: I'm not running Trumpers: HE'S NOT RUNNING SO JUST SHUT UP LIBS Trump:

Snowstorm coming, so of course I went out and got laundry done, made sure all the trash was out and got groceries so I'm good for awhile. Blessed to be able to be indoors during a snowstorm. Not everyone can be, as I keep reminding myself.

Trump has a gameplan of "flooding the zone" when something bad happens, in hopes of making his critics forget the real problems. Don't lose sight of the real problems with Trump.

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file. Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow. The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

I was a poli sci major in college. I know Tom's not wrong. I understand why people are upset. But if we're being clear-eyed, we're not at fascism. We have an administration that's "waded into the pool", and has given us cause to be vigilant. That's all it is as of now, though.

What Bongino does here is address this story by going after this Daily Mail headline. But this story was broken by ProPublica, and it said that Bongino was able to skip the polygraph portion of the background check, which was highly unusual. He chooses not to respond to that.

"Bill was legal age SEE HE'S NOT A PEDO"

I'm as amused as anyone at the idea that Trump blew "Bubba" Clinton. But don't overlook the more concerning part of the email, that Putin might have pics. We've been talking for years that Putin might have leverage on Trump, and that's a national security issue right in front of us.

36% general approval, 33% for managing the government. If the general approval gets to 33 or so, the air raid sirens will go off.

It's a simple argument that's not hard to grasp, for anyone looking. You can't be writing in perks for individual GOP senators and claim at the same time we can't afford healthcare and food aid for every American who needs it.

I understand the shutdown has to end. But I feel like Republicans entered it as a game of chicken, and Dems once again had to be the grown-ups in the room. But they should have gotten a better guarantee over ACA subsidies. That was the whole point. I don't really trust the GOP to vote yes.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

My politics are simple. Fairness, tolerance, and a desire to see government treat everyone how I'd want to be treated - a version of the Golden Rule, in other words. No to two sets of laws, two standards for the rich and poor, or the connected and not connected.

Living in a rural area, I can confirm this is absolutely 💯 true.

An all time classic World Series. It’s a shame someone had to lose.

Was thinking today what would it take to get the NHL to sign me to a $1 contract with the inactive Arizona club - just so I can say I was once a professional ice hockey player?

If you doubt this skeet, think about why Johnson has refused to seat Adelita Grijalva. Hard to come up with a valid reason other than keeping her from signing the discharge petition.

This really isn't any different, fundamentally, than ICE deportations. Both are happening without due process of law. The government needs only make the accusation, and then take action on it.

Good news! The theatre that closed near me has changed hands, and the new owners plan to reopen... www.wandtv.com/news/mattoon...

#NoKings - that's all. Making the point simply by showing up somewhere peacefully and just existing. The Trumpers are told all sorts of lies, that the "left" are fake and bought by elites, or are all illegal aliens or foreigners, or just crazy. Showing up, forcing them to see we're their neighbors.

They already know this. It's exactly why they're so eager to try and stack the deck in the next election or two or three or twenty. Which will only entice them to do more illegal things. Quite an ugly spiral down, isn't it?

I get tired of people defining centrism as something in the exact middle between the two main parties. The GOP under Trump is so off-the-rails that a "middle" position is still pretty awful. Centrism should never be about caving to extremists. They don't deserve a seat at the table.

#help #cathelp #catsofbluesky #fyp Yes, the GFM is still active. www.gofundme.com/f/cat-had-ki... Non-Canadians, can donate there. Canadian's - DM me, and I'll give you my email, for Interac e-transfer. That has no fees associated with it. Even a dollar helps. Thank you.

I think it's safe to say the committee rejected Trump's applications pretty quickly. Thankfully.

...and they're going to blame Democrats for it, too. Just watch. It makes literally zero sense, but watch.

I'm sure Combs is thinking tonight that his buddy Donald Trump is going to help him out. And he might not be wrong. After all, to men like Trump, the whole point of power is to help out your friends (and yourself) while punishing your enemies.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

It's a pretty good time to be a sports fan in Central IL for once. The Cubs are in the playoffs and won today. The Illini football team is 4-1, and outside of a game with Ohio State and a trip to Washington, have a good schedule the rest of the way. The Bears are - well, the Bears, but at least 2-2.

I frequently think Donald Trump as president is like entrusting the world's greatest economy to a mental toddler, knocking over buildings because of temper tantrums. No thoughts to consequences, no concern over whether or not the kicks and screams even have a good outcome. Just forgotten.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

He’s sending masked troops to Chicago & threatening to send troops to Portland. This is the move of a fascist, a dictator. This should never happen in America. He must be taken to court ASAP. The American people must make it clear this should never happen in America. www.mediaite.com/media/news/a...

Was thinking today how engagement and education is *vital* to a healthy democracy. But a lot of Americans have tuned out, or like Joe says don't really understand. It's not surprising that running down the experts and the educated has been a goal of the autocratic right.

I've been reading Prince Harry's book (finally). I'm about a third of the way in. And gotta say, I liked Harry when I picked up the book, but I find I like/respect him a bit less as I'm reading... I hate saying that, but it's how I feel. :(

While we're all distracted by the domestic sideshow, Trump is sending the military out to kill people he says are "terrorists", in violation of US and international law. No wonder people at the Pentagon are checking in with their lawyers. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You know, the interesting thing here is that Jimmy Kimmel's quote isn't really about Kirk or Robinson. It's about Trumpers. Stop and think about it. He's been cancelled for criticizing Trumpers - for what they actually are doing, daily, on social media.

You know it's football season when you begin to see Peyton Manning shill for everything under the sun.

This hits today. Where is our society going, with so many willfully ignoring truth that doesn't suit their political beliefs?

I wish Tom Brady would pick a lane. Also, we live in an era which really doesn't care about the idea that sometimes it's necessary to avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing. And that's a shame. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...
