Rubio says that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "were not fruitful." Not fruitful? āLetās look at facts: your negotiators visited Russia seven times, and Ukraine zero times. You demanded concessions from Ukraine before negotiations even began, and throughout the entire process.

How many times did we hear that lying lunatic Trump bray about Barack Obama "giving" (it was not a giftāit was a settlement of a dispute) Iran $400 million (with $1.3 billion in interest) on "pallets"? Trump is giving Iran almost FIFTEEN TIMES that amount of money. What a shameless hypocrite.

These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

So TECHNICALLY this isn't illegal. It needs to be codified into law explicitly to make it unquestionably illegal. We can't rely on any president to follow "norms" ever again.

Thereās no way Trump could have won his frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in court. Thereās no way the J6 criminals and conspirators could have won any lawsuits in court. But they didnāt have to, because Trump installed his criminal defense lawyer to steal our money for them.

It's important to understand that rightwingers see debates as an exercise in dominance, not a display of adherence to objective reality. From that perspective brazen lying and saying ridiculous things is empowering, not humiliating. Sartre had them pegged.
