To anyone who reads my posts/comments when it's "political." I'm not a Republican or Democrat. I'm an independent who does his best to be moderate. It just so happens that the snowflakes on the far right happen to be the loudest dumbasses right now.
@YouTube when I block an advertiser over 30 times, that means STOP SHOWING ME THEIR ADS! I even keep reporting them and telling you to fix your algorithm.
This really just happened. Trump signed an executive order saying no one in the future can make major modifications to the Oval Office or Cabinet Room without Congressional Approval.
This comes after he literally tore apart an entire wing of the White House without Congressional approval.
You should do your homework before making a fool of yourself. My father was a staunch Democrat his entire life breaking away only twice: he voted for Nixon because of his stand on China ("I don't think we can sweep the millions of Chinese under a rug" and for Reagan because he was a loyal friend.
It’s clear from the statements of Dem Party leaders in MI and nationally that Haley Stevens career in politics is over. Like Fetterman, she is now in a position where she has no future in the Dem Party and can’t win a Republican primary. Good riddance. Now is not the time for foolishness.
The guy who compared a Trump rally to Jonestown on live Fox News was invited by the Trump campaign. They called his work phone on Monday and asked him to come.
His name is Tom Hoyle. He's 57 and runs a small custom printing shop in Charlotte called MadPark Designs with his business partner. He's hated Trump since 1989, back when he was a sophomore in college. And he really, really doesn't like getting sales calls on the shop line, from anybody.
So when the rally people called, he said yes. He even signed up with his real name and contact info, because he wanted it on the record that they invited him.
Then he had to get through the door. A private security guy asked him straight up if he was a Trump supporter. Tom told him he supports the Constitution, then started talking about his shirt, which was for an old death metal band called Death. He kept going about the history of Florida death metal until the guard gave up and let him in.
His plan going in was honestly pretty juvenile. He and a buddy he grew up with figured he'd wait a few minutes into the speech and yell something filthy.
Then a Fox News reporter, Lucas Tomlinson, found him standing off by himself and asked if he could interview him live. Tom thinks a white guy with a big beard and a ball cap was pretty much exactly what they were looking for.
He told himself he wasn't going to cuss on national TV, so he made it up on the spot. He says the first line and then just waits. The reporter goes "Wait, the Jonestown Massacre?" and that's when he finishes it.
He told The Handbasket he picked that up from Billy Crystal, who said on Letterman back in the '80s that you always let the other guy set up your punchline. Tomlinson set it up for him perfectly.
A few minutes later some men who said they were Secret Service pulled him aside. He asked if this was about the concession stand, because it closed early and he was starving. They didn't love that and walked him out. On his way out he passed the guard from the front door and told him, hey man, you didn't vet me too well.
Think about how many people had a shot at stopping this. The campaign's call list found him. The signup form had his name. A guard questioned him to his face. A Fox crew put him on live TV. Every one of them took one look at the beard and the hat and filled in the rest.
That's how almost all of this screening works. Asking somebody what they actually believe takes time, and looking at them takes a second, so everybody just looks.
The one check that actually caught him came after he'd already said it on national TV.
'Star Trek' actor Wil Wheaton tells Stephen Miller to keep Patrick Stewart's name out of his 'Nazi mouth': "He despised you, and everything you stand for."
Surprise, surprise: Trump, who routinely pardons fraudsters and presides over the most corrupt administration ever, has no interest in actually addressing waste, fraud, and abuse.
Apparently, fraud is only a problem when they can scapegoat Somali Minnesotans.
3 days to vote and put a check on Trump’s corruption.
Just the worst case scenario for Vivek. By pulling the ad he is admitting it was a huge mistake, but it was done too late to save him. When the initial backlash hit the day it came out he called Trump to ask him if he should pull the ad. Trump told him hell no and he should double down. He listened to Trump. ETTD.
CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.
🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.
