The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

😕🇺🇸

And these folks support defunding education. 🤦🏽‍♂️

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

It’s a tradition. Every four years, right before Christmas, Rafael Cruz announces that he’s waddling for president again.

So… he’s giving them their own money? Where’s the tariff money?

To be clear.

This is Comet. She had an unsatisfactory walk experience today. Decided to file a complaint with management. 13/10 (IG: peachycomet22)

Re: Donald Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner was a compassionate human, a devotee of democracy, a necessary moral voice and a greatly gifted creative artist. Donald Trump is a sick sociopath and a hateful person who dishonors the human race every time he opens his mouth.

This x 1,000!!!

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

The first family corruption continues.

Welfare For MAGA Farmers Because China has responded to Trumps tariff trade war by drastically reducing its imports of American soybeans China wins w/a $1.08 Trillion global trade surplus Farmers get a one-time check. American consumers pay more for essential goods, in perpetuity Are we great yet?

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid— It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

"ICE is arresting the worst of the worst." Everything this administration tells us is a lie.

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

Caption this.

She added about 20 million views to this after some dipshit WH spokesperson decided the best plan was to personally attack and insult her. And counting.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Can someone explain to me how some of the country's poorest states with some of the lowest ranking public schools can afford to pay their collegiate head football coaches tens of millions of dollars a year in salaries plus bonuses?

A nation that allows criminals to be pardoned by the very person who orders their crimes, is a organized crime syndicate masquerading as a nation.

They really believe their supporters are really stupid. They’re not wrong. The MAGA SHAMELESS CLOWN OF THE WEEKEND AWARD goes to Rep. Nancy Mace for attempting to take credit for Biden's infrastructure bill, which she voted against:

Money… How much he charged for 🇭🇳 former president pardon? It’s not about drugs. It’s all about the money.

He is risen

Speaker Mike Johnson is "crushed by his workload." Bitch, please! You've been on a self-conferred vacation the past few months.

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

We went from US media once attacking President Biden over his age and condemning President Obama for daring to wear a tan suit in the briefing room to them actively normalizing a criminal for over a decade as he threatens to murder Democrats. They deliberately failed democracy.

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

In a massive backlash against MAGA fascism, Democrats have now swept school board elections in Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio and defeating all terrorist Moms For Liberty candidates in the process. Much more of this please, we have a democracy to rescue. 💙👊
