Periodic reminder that virtually every major elected official claims, or tries to claim, that they are an outsider, a rebel, a maverick taking on “the establishment.” The President, Vice President, and speaker of the House talk that way. So did Barack Obama. Ted Cruz. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, Jim Jordan do it, when their party is in power and out. When they are committee chairs or ranking members etc. Even partisan media does it. Everyone wants to be “the resistance” to some nebulous establishment no one claims membership in.
You can’t run a stable, serious, government when the people in power refuse to accept responsibility for being in power. None of them are “outsiders” taking on “elites.” They are all insiders and elites blaming other elites for their collective failure to do their jobs.
@HankDesmondPhD We supported the president’s initiative in Iran but fail to see the “logic” in his strategy and erratic swings. Would be curious to hear your civil take.
@easye58@SarahLongwell25@Martels_Hammer@ericswalwell Isn’t that what people like you do - “but what about Biden?” - whenever Trump gets called out? Why is it so hard to say they BOTH should go? Some of us are fighting against this kind of character deficiency in ALL our so-called leaders.
@TheRickWilson What a great piece of writing, in every respect. EVERYONE should read this - especially Bondi & co. Who knows, perhaps they can still save themselves a few counts.
@EricGustafsonX@DavidAFrench General Washington - a universally acclaimed man of honor - would have said, of course my troops are obligated to not follow ILLEGAL orders.
@elonmusk If all those guys deported so many millions more than Trump, what has he been complaining about all this time? And does his paltry 1.2m make him a total failure by comparison?
I’m not even sure what the right word is. Wacky??
How have we arrived at this moment where the U.S. and its closest allies are threatening and actually deploying their militaries against one another while steadfastly refusing to do so against the war criminal Putin, as he bombs the innocent civilians of a sovereign nation? Next, I suppose one of us will have to threaten to nuke the other in order to settle things down.
In summary: We don’t care enough about Ukraine and its people to defend it (America First!), but we’re so determined to OWN Greenland - even though they would let us use it for security purposes in any way we want - that our allies feel the need to prepare military defenses against OUR threatened invasion of Denmark. DENMARK!
🙄
It’s mind-bottling. Even if you concede that we “need” Greenland for security, that neither justifies taking it nor accounts for the fact that Denmark will gladly support those needs if we only ask. The blatant way they treat us like idiots tells us all we need to know about their true integrity.
@JDVance Your willingness to so brazenly lie about what the video *clearly* shows tells us all we need to know about your integrity - not that we needed yet more proof.
@megynkelly This is clickbait right? I mean, you hear yourself right? Misogyny? That’s intentionally shameless right? Because the president you support has NO misogynistic tendencies right? What is wrong with you people???🤦♂️
Even if you reject one source of news because of its slant, your still being manipulated by the alternative.
Figuring out the truth requires more effort than simply accepting what you want to hear. There IS objective reality – we just have to use our CommonSense to see it.

@RpsAgainstTrump Ummm any chance you took a time-stamped pic of those bleeding “claw marks” or bloody sheets??? He’s not just an outed liar, now he’s an outed crackpot liar.
