BREAKING NEWS: In my lawsuit, a court ruled Trump must face trial for January 6th. This is justice for the officers who defended our Capitol. A jury will decide.

Clearly speeds being non-relativistic is the key to this problem.

military discipline used to be one of those things the centrist gatekeepers in the media said they took really seriously but it went out the window the moment their boy trump had problems with it.

New reporting reveals Karoline Leavitt begged AFP and Getty to delete this picture of her from all photo libraries.

The reviews are in on Trump's Ballroom. Trump is gonna be PISSED

This is what they are doing to NORWEGIANS, y’all — the very immigrants Trump claims to want more of. Imagine what they are doing to everyone else.

The Republican Party is telling us, with brimming confidence and zero shame, that it intends to make it harder for its opponents to vote and easier to control the outcome of elections. They are prepared to use every tool available to them — legal or not — to stay in power. bsky.app/profile/marc...

“After major breakthroughs in obtaining the penises of a manatee, an armadillo, and a pygmy jerboa, I’m pleased to announce that my experimental anticancer elixir is mere weeks away from completion,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

There is an element of truth in the cartoon that makes the situation truly pathetic. Our sons and daughters are the cannon fodder for the sons and daughters of the oligarchs!

That’s an excellent question.
