Hillary said the exact same thing and met the exact same fate as Kamala. “Most qualified candidate ever” is just elitist liberal jargon and code for ‘shut up peons and vote for our DNC approved candidate.’
KAMALA: "Some people have actually said I was the most qualified candidate ever to run for president. I'm just speaking a fact." 😂

The economy is doing "well" because your electricity bill went up 125% to pay for an AI data center. Congrats.

BREAKING: Israel has now kidnapped and detained at least 3 of the Palestinians they "released" as a part of the hostage exchange. Just reverse the roles. If 3 Israeli hostages that were just released were kidnapped again, it would be EVERYWHERE. You'd know their names/faces

Democratic politicians fight harder to uphold the filibuster than any of the policies they claim they can never pass because they don't have a filibuster proof supermajority.

If they're actually drug traffickers, why not just arrest them in the first place and then prove their guilt with evidence, the way that all civilized countries do with alleged drug traffickers? Answer: because that doesn't serve the actual goal of regime change in Venezuela.

Mamdani is so compelling that his critics are now challenging people to watch his interviews on mute lol
Has anyone—Mamdani supporter or not—ever watched one of his interviews on mute? His entire demeanor is so calculated, so inauthentic, so sleazy. Reminiscent of a used car salesman. Sorry, but I don’t see the charm.
