Am i correct that not a single Republican member of Congress has objected to the president telling some of their American born brown and black colleagues they should go back to the countries they came from?
The next person I see talk about the political implications of impeachment might cause me to stroke out.
He attempted a coup. He pressured
@GaSecofState
to find votes. He pressured VP to interfere with transfer of power. He incited a mob. 5 are dead.
IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH
I feel like the presidents recently pardoned former national security advisor calling for a military coup and martial law to overturn an election should be bigger news.
I’d say to my friends in DC going along with Trump. Imagine how this video of the President leading a white mob in a “Send Her Back” chant targeting a black refugee is going to look in your kids high school government/history classes. This hatred has got to be stopped.
Listening to Trump’s interviews today and I just have to say that if you think this madman should be president for 4 more years you are demonstrating a lack of judgment so extreme as to basically disqualify you from being in a position of authority
I know we have all got bored with it but 6,000 people have died from COVID already in June. This is more than the total U.S. deaths for all of March when the shutdowns started.
I’m not interested in being lectured about unity by people who enabled the egomaniacal idiot who is bumbling us into the stupidest of wars.
You said he “couldnt be trusted with the nuclear codes.” You knew it. But you risked this predictable danger to stay relevant. It’s on you
#Iran
is now openly calling for American’s to turn on each other.
The time will come to debate U.S. policy.
Tonight American & allied troops have come under direct attack by a nation-state & Americans must come together to support & protect them & respond appropriately.
The only reason we know about Burr and Loeffler is they have to report their trades.
The president and his families finances are largely secret. His friends at Mar-a-lago's trades are secret. If you think none of them are in on the graft I have a Trump steak to sell you.
It’s interesting that the people who think the government needs to intervene to protect kids from being exposed to gay penguin books don’t think anything can be done to protect kids from getting gunned down by a teen in a grocery store carrying a hand cannon.
I honestly don’t give an F if some bigot doesn’t wanna make a gay wedding website in 2023 but it is kind of a tell that there’s never a lawsuit about a Catholic baker who won’t do a cake for a straight couples third wedding because the pope didn’t annul it.
People who are planning to vote for Trump next time I have a q. Why do you think you know him better than his
- VP
- Chief of Staff
- Defense Secretary (x2)
- Homeland Security Secretary (x2)
- National Security Advisor (x2)
- communications director (x3) &
- lawyers
Can I just say that for all the Republicans who dislike this president but are on the sidelines, today is a good day to get off. We don’t need assholes who tear gas innocents for photo ops in the White House. You know it. Join us.

I don’t think there’s enough appreciation for the fact that GOP senators/congressmen, most of the conservative commentariat/
@FoxNews
, and leaders of industry are all pretending like they think there might be election fraud just because the presidents feelings are hurt.
Imagine being a gazillionaire who owns a basketball team who could do anything in life they imagine, choosing to sell your soul to a racist game show host for a Senate seat, then to stay in said seat you become pro-coup only to lose and be shunned from polite society.
Friend texts pointing out that people were spiked from WH jobs after background check revealed 1 anti-Trump tweet while credibly accused wife beater soared up the org chart. Gives a good sense of priorities.
A friends 6th grade son was tasked with writing a political ad for class.
He gave my permission to share the script he wrote.
He gets right to the heart of the matter and shows an insight that surpasses most of my former GOP colleagues.
Painful to watch, but good job by Chris Wallace.
Displays the psychological test that President Trump said he “aced” and claimed doctors were “very surprised” by his “unbelievable” results.
Wallace: The test asks you to identify an elephant.
If your view is that the Russia op didn’t change a single vote then you are saying campaigns don’t matter and we should just vote the day the candidates are announced. Because Wikileaks/DNC hack was a central part of the Trump campaign message and the media’s coverage of the race
So a literal foreign agent takes a job as national security advisor, doesn't reveal it, and gets cleared by DOJ after a pressure campaign from the President? Banana republic shit.
Michael Flynn was a paid foreign asset of the Turkish government after he was appointed National Security Advisor. This would be akin to Jake Sullivan currently being on the take from the Iranians.
It is a scandal without modern precedent. Trump and the GOP own it.
“I don’t wear masks like him. He could be speaking 200 feet away from people and he’ll be wearing the biggest mask you’ve ever seen.”
- The President of the United States to his opponent two nights before he tests positive for COVID-19
Had McConnell retired in January 2021 & led the conviction of Donald Trump his legislative legacy would’ve been about the same & he would’ve saved the country from the anti-democratic threat he saw clearly. We would not be on the precipice we are on now if not for his
cowardice.
Holy shit. The black Oakland security guard who many on this site were claiming was killed by “looters” during the protests was actually killed in a drive by shooting and the suspect is a vet with ties to the Alt-right Boogaloos who have been promoted by
@TPUSA
.
Just here to remind you that it is absolutely grotesque that the GOP has officially nominated the guy who ate cheeseburgers and watched TV while the capitol was stormed by a mob he sent and everyone in the party who has not resisted this should feel deep shame.
Happy Wednesday.
Do you think Trump realizes that he is the person that he's talking about when he says "a lot of people were comparing this to the flu and suggesting we ride it out?"
Nothing says I don’t care like ordering an item of clothing that says I don’t care on it and then pretending like it was a coincidence and then admitting a few months later you did it on purpose just so people know how much you don’t care
Melania Trump tells
@TomLlamasABC
she wore the ‘I really don’t care’ jacket “for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticizing me. And I want to show them that I don’t care.”
#MelaniaTrump
Richard Burr selling all his stock right before a crash while Larry Kudlow and Eric Trump are telling the American people they should buy the dip is the perfect vignette from a career scam artist’s administration.
I do remember losing, I don’t remember crying like a little baby about it, pretending like I won & then having a 3 year tantrum that included guys with confederate flags spearing cops on the Capitol steps. So congrats on licking the loafers of the sorest loser in world history.
How many covid shots and boosters are you on, Timmy? Remember when you begged me to interview Jeb Bush and spent $100 million on his campaign and then Trump squashed you in 2016 and broke your brain? I do. Hope you heal at some point. It has been 8 years now.
“There need to be people on the 1/6 committee who literally supported a MAGA coup or else it’s not bipartisan” has got to be the stupidest beltway brain bleed take in a while.
Hi
@Sohrabahmari
I demand you put my rebuttal to
@HawleyMO
on the front page of tomorrow’s New York Post or you are complicit in the Communist China style muzzling of my constitutionally protected speech.
To sum up: RUS/Putin have invaded their neighbor, assassinated the biggest domestic political threat, coopted one of the right's biggest media stars, and seeded a fabricated story about the US President that was echoed by GOP congressional leadership & rightwing media en masse.
In early 2016 I was with a small group drinking with Lindsey at a hotel bar. He spent the majority of the time venting about how Trump is a racist.
Today Trump is literally tweeting White Power videos and Lindsey is golfing with his pal.
✊🏻,
@LindseyGrahamSC
. You sicken me.
Lindsey Graham is golfing today with Donald Trump. If you want to express contempt for the one and disgust for the other, feel free to retweet or otherwise circulate this ad from
@RVAT2020
in which, in a different time, Lindsey Graham tells the truth about Donald Trump.
Have the people pushing the “single entry point to school” solution ever…seen a school?
Here’s my high school pls explain to me how that’s going to work.
This week I guest hosted
@SHO_TheCircus
and ran into my old friend
@tedcruz
in Arizona
I asked him if he stands by his objection to the state’s 2020 electoral vote and well…it gets a little hot. Enjoy this teaser and tune into Showtime on Sunday at 8 for the full deal. HACK!
I’m really bewildered at the number of smart people who think a politburo of unelected bureaucrats stealing shit off the presidents desk is admirable and the right way to run our democratic government at this time.
You made a joke about how Bidens bad dog lived and good dog died and how you thought that was just like how his bad son lived and good son died. It was gross and straightforward. There were no deep layers for people to misread.
Greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self made. In reality, just a clown & fraud. Always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy act in these senate hearings. You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime cowboy.
#LittleManSyndrome
Congrats to my former comrade Harriet Hageman. At the 2016 RNC convention she led a coup against Trump.
6 years later she was elected to Congress solely based on her unequivocal support for Trump's attempt to become an unelected autocrat.
A modern day morality tale in 2 acts.
This is absolutely indefensible. The state is detaining and American citizen solely because of his race and his families country of origin. He had his freaking ID.
This is by far the most despicable, insane, un-American, and morally repugnant press conference that has been put on by a president in my lifetime, including all of Trump's previous grotesqueries.
Can someone explain to me the dueling MAGA arguments that our economy is currently the best it’s ever been but also globalism is taking all the jobs so we need to crack down on immigrant job stealers including rape victims escaping terror.
Jim Jordan didn’t have the stones to stand up to the team doctor molesting his players but damn if he isn’t courageous enough to file a meaningless resolution to impeach a guy for doing his job with integrity.
I’m truly in awe watching the master of the Art of the Deal at work.
Negotiating with himself, late into the night on twitter while on mania inducing drugs. Who knows what his next offer will be. I’m on the edge of my seat.
Doing my very best to follow my own advice about treating people who did the right thing in the end with grace…But man. Matt Pottinger is really challenging my resolve.
The fact that I have to drive to a tent by the airport to get a COVID test (required, no Symptoms) and need to choose between a rapid but inaccurate option or a slow accurate option 18 months into the pandemic is an absurd policy failure.
My unsolicited advice to Hill Democrats. Treat the trial as if the jury was genuinely persuadable.
If you clip your wings because Republicans are so craven that you know nothing will convince them, then you are rewarding their indefensible behavior.
I’m just a humble civilian but it feels like if the Secretary of Defense had to ignore the presidents request to open fire on people exercising their constitutional right, that’s probably something that merited mentioning before the election.
Per
@mikeallen
- Fmr Defense Secretary Mark Esper charges in a memoir out May 10 that former President Trump said when demonstrators were filling the streets around the WH following the death of George Floyd: "Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?"
It’s pretty strange that we are banned from traveling to Europe and it’s just a “ho hum” minor news story.
Had I said in 2017 that Trump would screw something up so bad that US citizens would get banned from Europe that would’ve sounded like an unimaginably insane case of TDS.
Bolton said in a private paid speech that Trump was making life or death national security decisions based on his personal financial interests - which would be the biggest scandal in the last half century. So that’s one critical national security issue I’d like to discuss
Let's get back to discussing critical national-security issues confronting America. The threats are grave and growing. The presidency and control of the House and the Senate will all be decided in less than one year. It's time to speak up again!
#JohnBolton
It’s almost as if making up fake sexual assault allegations isn’t as easy as it sounds and women who come forward with credible allegations should be given the benefit of the doubt.
(PS POTUS has 19 accusers that he never gets asked about for some reason)
I know this is an obvious take but it is still so crazy to me that Biden is forced to do this video while the current president is an unapologetic serial sexual predator. Our society is a mess.
Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it.
If trump had won two more states and the Republicans had the House, every single one of these fuckers resigning now would’ve been sitting shotgun in the Coup Bus while Congress nullified the PA electors. They can all go to hell.
Excuse me if I sound like Glenn Greenwald but maybe the military recruitment problem is not wokeness or Gen Z being wussies but the fact that we badly botched the only wars they remember and treat veterans like shit.
"The Never Trumpers at the Lincoln Project and Republican Voters Against Trump may help defeat Donald Trump. But what comes after?" wonders
@mattklewis
.
Do they join the Democrats? "Or do they achieve their goal, only to end up politically homeless?"
No one is going to remember a single thing Biden says tonight. Everyone is going to remember how weirdly amped up he is and how bizarrely fast he’s speaking.
Dear political press I’m sorry to ruin your fun but Donald Trump lost California by 5.1 million votes, one of his supporters is not going to win a recall election against the state’s sitting governor as the economy starts to improve.
Annoying gay friend here to mention that we probably shouldn’t be overlooking how unreal it is that a married openly gay man leads the delegate race for a major party two cycles after both parties nominees opposed gay marriage.
Kat Cammack setting the bar for worst nominating speech. We are now at the 6th groomsman's sloshy toast and people are starting to wonder when dinner is going to be served.
MUST-WATCH:
@joerogan
says people regret voting for Biden and labels him mentally incompetent for talking about “airports during the revolutionary war” — then fact-checks himself… and slowly realizes TRUMP SAID IT. Whoopsy!🤦🏻♂️

With apologies to every Republican candidate I have ever worked for....
I have never felt better to cast a ballot for anyone than I did for
@JoeBiden
just now.
I hope the high road leads us home again. We can do this. 🇺🇸
