Just gonna go ahead and post this again, 'cause it's still fuckin' relevant.

Thomas Massie lost tonight because he wanted the Epstein List released and pedophiles held accountable. Trump didn't want any of that, so he had to go.

Incumbent Republican Thomas Massie lost his primary tonight because Donald Trump was mad at him for trying to get justice for the Epstein survivors. Seeking justice for survivors makes you persona non grata in MAGA. This is who they are. This is who they’ve always been.

What the fuck is with headlines like this? Gosh, is it okay for Ukraine to defend itself? Apparently we can't be sure, let's hedge..

Virginia elected Democrats because we wanted fighters. They have the governor and the state legislature. If you're incapable and unwilling to fight, then resign. You're not built for this, and you're complicit due to your cowardice. The majority, we're done here.

Indeed. Walmart selling plates to commiserate the death of the USA. It was suicide by Trump. 🙏

“Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow [Muslim] citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America, they represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior.” --George W. Bush, six days after 9/11
