Yeah, sorry, Trumpers. As much fun as dehumanizing immigrants sounds, I'm gonna have to go with Reagan on this issue.

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to him.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge you: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

@txhighdudgeon @LahnHQ Up next from @LahnHQ: Tucker Carlson was never really a conservative

Tucker Carlson: I would not support the Republican party, there's no chance I would support the Republican party. How could I support a political party that is not loyal to the United States. I voted Republican my entire life, I have been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican party, but there is no defending this. I'm out

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

Trump today claimed he “didn’t promise anything” about NO NEW WARS.

So here’s a second compilation showing FIFTY times during his campaign where he PROMISED exactly that.

[TheStig @St1gEmUp]

@txhighdudgeon @glennbeck The pathetic kind.

"I sold my soul to MAGA and I'm still irrelevant so I'll pick on defenseless people instead"

Glenn has always been quick to lash out over his insecurities going back to his days of mocking his rival radio host's miscarriage. He's a fragile little narcissist.

[TheStig @St1gEmUp]

@txhighdudgeon @glennbeck Glenn Beck is a grifting piece of shit. Wild to think this was just 10 years ago.

Here’s Brandon Herrera, now the Republican nominee in Texas’s 23rd District after Rep. Tony Gonzales dropped out, showing off his copy of Hitler’s Mein Kampf: “I got the 1939 edition printed in English.”

Listen to this social experiment. Fox News viewers were forced to watch CNN for one month. Lucas here calls it a propaganda machine. We’ve been warning you of it for a year. We know the mechanisms behind it. And Lucas is deadly accurate.

Within hours of the Epstein file release,

a superPAC funded by Israel-first billionaires Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson, who himself appears in Epstein’s black book,

bought another $800,000 of TV ads against me.

I’ll still win, but if I lose, it was worth it.

DEAN: “What’s the tariff on bananas?”
LUTNICK: “10%.”

DEAN: “Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%.”

LUTNICK: “Well, if you build in America, there’s no tariff.”

DEAN: “You can’t build bananas in America.”

🚨 BREAKING:

🇺🇸 Steve Bannon was planning to produce a pro-Epstein Documentary, on the Day of Financier’s Arrest.

Emails reveal Bannon was organizing a documentary to counter Netflix’s Epstein series, planning to film on Little St. John and include interviews with Epstein associates like Michael Wolff.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: Law enforcement threatened to kill an unarmed 17-year-old as he was leaving an anti-ICE protest in Indianapolis.

In the video, police officers stop a 17-year-old and order him out of his car.

He calmly asks why.

Instead of answering, an officer opens the car door, grabs his arm, and says:

“I will fucking kill you.”

An armed officer told an unarmed child he would kill him… with zero justification.

The teen looks visibly shocked and gets out of the car.

Officers then shove him against the vehicle and begin searching him.

After threatening his life, the officer tries to justify it by saying,

“He was reaching for a gun.”

The teen responds, “Who was reaching for a gun?!?”

They find no gun… because he never had a gun, and never reached for anything.

This police officer illegally threatened to use lethal force against a minor who committed no crime.

Which is exactly what happens when a government excuses, defends, and normalizes law enforcement aggression.

When officers know they won’t be held accountable, the threats get louder, the lies get sloppier, and the violence escalates.

[TheStig @St1gEmUp]

Just came back on this hellsite to relive some old memories.

Elmo has apparently made it impossible to search through my posts, but I did find where @txhighdudgeon is still on here making life miserable for Steve Deace's comment section, so at least it wasn't a total loss 😂
