Trump: "Kamala just one day decided to breath oxygen."
Rightwing media: "Has she always breathed oxygen?"
Reporter: "Vice President Harris, do you breath oxygen?"
VP Harris: "Let's talk about working class families."
Politico: "Harris evades questions about oxygen intake."
Here's what I think is happening:
1. The media, with low ratings, saw blood in the water after the debate and ran with sensational and inaccurate headlines to generate profit. They have admitted this.
2. That, in turn, influenced big money dem donors who then threatened to pull their big money because the MEDIA was tanking some polls.
3. That, in turn, worried party leaders who need that big money to win because shitheads like Musk can donate $45M per month to trump thanks to Citizens United, and those dem leaders expressed their concern about losing that money.
4. That, in turn, caused the media - again with garbage ratings bleeding cash - to report that party leaders want Biden to step aside (not because they don't think he can do the job, but because other rich people were extorting them)
5. And that greed has led to the snowball effect we are seeing. It's all about money. Not democracy. The media and big donors are selling out democracy and the will of the voters over money.
Corporate media has failed us.
This SCOTUS has overturned 40 years of environmental protection precedent, 50 years of abortion precedent, 60 years of Affirmative Action precedent, & now 248 years of limited POTUS power precedent—& Dems still refuse to even try to expand SCOTUS or impeach the Justices. Come On!
President Biden: The presidency is the most powerful office in the world. It's an office that not only tests your judgment, perhaps even more importantly, it's an office that can test your character. Not only do you face moments when you need the courage to exercise the full power of the presidency, you also face moments where you need the wisdom to respect the limits of the power of the office of presidency. This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each of us is equal before the law. No one is above the law, not even the president of United States. Today's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity fundamentally changed that for all for all practical purposes. Today’s decisions means that there are virtually no limits on what the President can do
I love when people suggest that the Electoral College was created to protect rural voters from a tyranny of a majority of urban voters.
Cuz it’s true.
Now, let’s put our thinking caps on:
Who were these rural voters, and what might they have been nervous about? 🤔 1/11
Project 2025 is “a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.” The primary document of Project 2025, the magazine explains, lays out what is essentially a “Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married
Trump's now pretending to take the side of tipped workers, but his Labor Dept changed a rule to make it easier for bosses to pocket workers' tips. This cost tipped workers an estimated $700 million a year in wages.
Two independent journalism outlets — ProPublica and Lauren Windsor — have now done more to uncover the misconduct and extremism of Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito than the ENTIRE mainstream media.
Wow. Texas Democrats are sending a strong message to Republicans nationally.
On the main stage of the State Convention was Amanda Zurawski — a woman who nearly died in Texas because she was denied abortion care.
She directly condemns Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.
Here is a short summary of Donald Trump’s June 9 speech in Las Vegas:
1. Tells crowd “I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care.”
2. Tells contractors who set up mic and teleprompter they did a “shitty job” and he “won’t pay them.”
3. Tells audience to choose “suicide over Biden.”
4. Complains about teleprompter again.
5. Asks “Do I get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark?”
6. Claims he "aced" a dementia test twice: “Not easy to ace!”
7. Says “There has never been people treated more horrifically than J6 hostages.”
8. Calls prosecutor a “dumb son of a bitch.”
9. Complains media is too focused on health of crowd in heat when they should “care about Trump.”
10. Glitches multiple times.
11. Speech ends. Trump whisked away on private jet paid for by donors.

BREAKING: 40 out of 44 members of Donald Trump’s cabinet have refused to endorse him. Republicans are abandoning the Trump campaign. It begs the question, if they don’t trust Trump, why should you?
This is an underrated point.
If 91% of your handpicked Cabinet who saw you be President the first time says “fuck no, that guy shouldn’t be President again,” the rest of the country needs to see that for that flashing red warning sign that it is.
I see the media describing Chief Justice John Roberts as a "moderate" now that the court has swung so far right.
I'm sorry, but the guy who gutted the Voting Rights Act and legalized racial gerrymandering is in no way a "moderate" anything. Insane whitewashing of a terrible man.
We previously identified the first person Trump claimed he “randomly” met at the ATL Chick-fil-A as a paid MAGA operative. Now we’ve identify the second one as an operative for the RNC. EVERYTHING is staged and fake.
This is what I like to refer to as a political grenade. You pull the pin and let your successor take the heat for the explosion. Trump did it with his tax bill, his release of 5000 Taliban prisoners, the withdraw from Afghanistan, the fallout for his mishandling of national defense information, COVID, and his SCOTUS picks.
BREAKING NYT:
Samuel Alito told a woman posing as a Catholic conservative last week that compromise in America between the left and right might be impossible and then agreed with the view that the nation should return to a place of godliness.
"One side or the other is going to win," Alito told Lauren Windsor at an exclusive gala at the Supreme Court. "…there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised." https://t.co/w47lGrm2ld
Oh nothing, just a US Supreme Court Justice aligning himself squarely with one political party, saying that his side has to WIN, that there’s no compromise with the left, and that his job as a judge is to spread Godliness. Utterly broken Court.
