It should have been a bigger story that the U.S. government gave the UAE access to advanced computer chips after the UAE dumped $2 billion into Trump’s crypto operation.

There are dozens of these should-have-beens.

I think that Obama absolutely knew how much he was loathed by the opposition, and had no mechanism to force a SCOTUS vote in a GOP controlled Senate. His goal was to pick someone beyond partisan reproach to at least make it as embarrassing as possible for them.

But it didn’t stop leftists from blaming Democrats for decisions Republicans made.

Remember when a kid got years in North Korean prison for stealing a poster and everyone was like “what a terrifying country!” and now Americans are facing years in prison for touching floating paint chips...??

In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.

People love to talk about how Bernie is so honest and has 'the moral clarity that The Establishment' lacks, but this is (as far as I can tell) his last comment about his former Sanders Institute board-member Tulsi Gabbard, defending her honor from Hillary Clinton.

And then she went Full MAGA and then some, and he's just never mentioned her again.

A total coward and a total fraud.

“We continue to make the world safer and more prosperous…”

*checks notes*

…by allowing the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism to raise funds by selling their oil.

What a humiliation for the USA.

“In its push to draw users to its unregulated platform, Polymarket has flooded social media with videos like Makihara’s, which appear genuine at first glance. In reality, Polymarket built near-perfect copies of its website, then instructed creators to make simulated trades on those dummy sites and hide that they were being paid by Polymarket.
To get the videos to go viral, Polymarket has recruited a social-media army to copy and re-post creators’ footage.”

I will never understand the anti-vax pivot of the far right.

It was limited to rich, far left, coastal idiots.

Operation Warp Speed was the only thing out of the first Trump term that wasn't an unmitigated disaster.

It was a chip shot victory and they RAN AGAINST IT.

Why?

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

I think the far left resents Obama because he disproves their theory of politics. If the most popular living former president by far is a charismatic normie Democrat who built the electoral coalitions they keep failing to build, then what the fuck are they doing?

Take a moment to really look at this photo. 👇

That is the White House lawn. The People's House. Sacred ground that has stood for 226 years. Not destroyed by war. Not by disaster. But for one man's pleasure.

We are 13 days away from our 250th birthday as a nation, and our president spent $14 million ripping out the Reflection Pool to build himself a swamp. Another $600 million turning the East Wing into rubble. Rose Garden destroyed. And $60 million for his own birthday party that tore up the lawn.

226 years it stood strong. This man destroyed it in a year and a half.

One photo that screams exactly what he's done to this great nation.

Some people have been saying

[bob's burgers urbanist 🐿️ @yhdistyminen]

In 2011 you could publicly accuse Obama of being born in Kenya. You would be "punished" by later becoming the Republican presidential frontrunner.

[Russell Foster A New Texas @RussellFosterTX]

Up until yesterday, this is how people interacted with the reflecting pool, which we all own. Now, Trump will arrest anyone who puts a finger in the water. How exactly is this freedom that the GOP constantly says we have more of now than ever before? Let's get back to the old way

People can argue capitalism sucks, but claims that indigenous peoples lived more prosperous, peaceful lives are nonsense.

The Cherokee were warriors who kept captives as slaves. Pre-industrial and stateless societies were far poorer and more violent than ours.

Ethnographic and anthropological studies suggest that in small-scale and non-state societies, 5-20% of deaths came from violence. In America, that number is less than 1%.

This chipper ninny sells the popular leftist idea that it's Western society that causes harm, when the reality is that, with our flaws, human society is far better off today than it was in the past.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Zero. Undocumented immigrants aren’t allowed to register to vote.

The Heritage Foundation stated there were only 77 cases of non-citizens successfully casting ballots over the last 25 years.

Republicans are spreading bigoted lies to pass voter suppression laws.

[DebB @Debbie31593462]

@CheriJacobus In the summer before the election Musk made a statement that the way to change votes was at the front end when the ballot was input. IMO it’s not a coincidence all the swing states votes were just under the percentage to qualify for an automatic recount. It was rigged.

[Kieran @Kieran1233456]

@CheriJacobus I live in Wisconsin. A swing state. Hundreds of bomb threats were called into voting stations on election night. The same happened in the other swing states. Where’s the investigation??

[Cheri Jacobus @CheriJacobus]

Trump mysteriously got way more votes than downballot Republicans only in swing states, while Kamala Harris mysteriously got way fewer votes than downballot Dems only in swing states. Karl Rove once allegedly told a whistleblower if a state was within 3% on election night you could cheat undetected.

[Walt Gekko @Walt_Gekko12]

@samosvijet @CheriJacobus @TimHannan As said (three-part reply) @ETA_Org (Election Truth Alliance) continues to find evidence of a stolen election, but I think France may be who proves it: https://t.co/HlszcWESv6
