"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

A person saying "I support Trump but am not a racist", is like someone saying "I attend Klan rallies for the coffee"

Witness intimidation...you know.... that thing that judge after judge allowed Trump to get away with in violation of gag orders when "the good guys" ran the country.

All true…👇 Unfortunately.

Hahahahaha America sucks. Just once I would like to see the legal experts on this site actually hold a mirror to the corruption in the legal system they cherish so much. These rich pedophiles will never see justice in America. "No one is above the law" my ass

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social says in this podcast that she doesn't believe all Trump supporters are racists. That is like saying you accidentally went to a klan rally once but kept going back for the coffee. Stop making excuses for these bigoted people. youtu.be/i89-WcrwObc?...

🤷🏼

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Here is the deal......this was just ANOTHER instance of Trump's racism, not his first. His supporters are bigots.

Don't try to sell me that "most Americans are good people" if we need to win over people that support this to win elections.

Can we now stop giving Trump supporters grace. They are ALL bigots.

Shame is not a substitute for justice.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Unquestionably.

This tells you what you need to know about the motivations of the folks who were condemning MeToo and “wokeness.”

Stop saying underage women. They are children.

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

Don't try to sell me that "most Americans are good people" if we have to win over Nazis to win elections.

Donald Trump didn't break the political system on his own. Our broken political system is why we have Trump.

If people would have believed Anita Hill.....you know what ....fuck that, how about people start believing women overall. If we had a shred of fucking respect for women in this country we wouldn't be on the verge of collapse now. These fucking monsters would be in jail and not running the government

People say that children are the future

I used to joke that I wish Trump would commit a crime in a country with a functioning system of justice because he would never see justice in America. Apparently that applies to wealthy pedophiles too. He should have had his offices in America where sex crimes against children are legal for rich men

Elon should have kept his offices in the United States where the legal system doesn't punish wealthy people for sex crimes against children.

They did that on purpose to intimidate witnesses. You know ....that thing that judge after judge let trump get away with while he was under gag order. It is so fucking galling how much shit Trump was allowed to get away with. Then people have the nerve to wonder how we got here.

This!!!!!

Either you support execution-style murders and the tear-gassing of children or you don't. This isn't morally nuanced. If you support Trump, you're a bad person who is a danger to the rest of us.

The "fairness in sports" narrative was always a trojan horse used to advance more regressive policies. That's why it pissed me off that dumbass Democrats like Newsom fell for it. My criticism of him isn't a "purity test", it is an intelligence test.

I might believe these Epstein allegations about Trump if he was accused in the past by 27 different women of sexual assault, found liable for it, bragged on tape/video about grabbing women, going backstage while girls were changing at pageants, and how hot his daughter was.

Absolutely disgusting.

You couldn't be more wrong. He is a successful criminal president. It is our Justice System that failed to keep a criminal from becoming president. Before anyone says shit about the voters; Voting isn't a remedy for criminality, you either have a rule of law or you don't.

Source: ICE to begin using empty Melania theaters as temporary detention facilities.

I hope that everyone that is mocking the FBI's raid of Fulton county understands that they are not doing it because of past elections. They are setting up disruptions for future ones.

🤭

I'm angry that it could have been prevented if our feckless Justice System applied the law to wealthy politicians in the same manner it is applied to us. A coup & Supreme Court bribery went unpunished. Before you blame voters; Voting isn't a remedy for criminality. You either have laws or you don't.

I can't be mad at the Supreme Court. Propublica exposed them taking bribes and absolutely nothing was done about it. We have earned the government we have now, through the inactions of the government we had previously.

Every politician in my lifetime that ran on a platform of being "tough on crime" has targeted the poor. Now that the white collar criminals, that receive endless leniency from the courts, are running the country; can we finally stop the lie that they are not threats to society?

Layoffs over the last year: UPS: 48,000 Amazon: 32000 Intel: 27,159 Microsoft: 15,387 Nestle: 16000 Verizon: 15000 Google: 12000 Chevron: 8000 Paramount: 7000 Walmart: 7000 P&G: 7000 Estée Lauder: 7000 Your reminder that massive corporate tax cuts don’t create jobs, they create profits.

No offense to Bruce, but this is the only anthem we need right now. youtu.be/bWXazVhlyxQ?...

I have been trying to scream from the rooftops for years that Trump was never the main problem. It was our corrupt Justice System that gave us Trump that is the problem.

Mind-blowing to see this Atlantic writer who won a Pulitzer for reporting on this topic arguing for night raids for ICE. As a *better* solution than what they're doing now. Night raids are *evil*. They're horrible. People *hate them*. I know that because I served in Afghanistan. Afghanistan ffs.
