Hey police in the country of #Georgia, why obscure your faces?
Show your faces to the people you are oppressing, or resign and join them.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
We knew this was happening, but I don’t think we realized to what level.
Trump was using the USSS to boost his hotel occupancy and he was jacking up the rates to line his own pockets while he was doing it.
BREAKING VIA NBC NEWS: Report from House Dems alleges Trump Corporation jacked up the prices of hotel rooms at the Trump Hotel for the Secret Service, in some instances to the tune of 300% more than the approved government per diem rate
Why is Trump now cancelling all of his events after his 39 minute confused DJ session?
As the oldest presidential candidate in history, this is very concerning and the American people deserve answers.
What is the Trump campaign hiding about his health?
I wonder what JD Vance would do if someone told him they didn’t care about Usha’s actual status they were still going to call her an illegal alien because reasons.
Probably nothing because he’s chickenshit pretend tough guy but it would be an interesting social experiment.
BREAKING — Trump announces he does NOT want to do any more debates with Kamala Harris, even if they’re on Fox News.
Yup. Kamala wrecked him. It wasn’t even close.
And now he’s scared of her.
Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.
@OMGrisham@AP@MSNBC@CNN@ABC@NBCNews@CBSNews Do not under any circumstances give him softball questions.
If he answers in a word salad that doesn’t answer the question, ask him again.
DO YOUR JOB. Be actual journalist!!!
Ok. JD served honorably, but he wasn’t kicking down doors. He was in public affairs. Which again, is fine and honorable.
Tim, after he was eligible for retirement, retired. People do that.
If it was a real problem he would have been “stop lossed” and prevented from retiring.
New: Trump's Justice Department conducted a secret investigation into whether Trump took $10 million from the Egyptian government to boost his 2016 campaign in the final days of the race — but it abruptly ended after Trump AG Bill Barr questioned the evidence in the case. https://t.co/DY0NrlOnwN
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
