One of the most shocking and stupid moves of late: George W Bush took part as a “special guest” in a fundraiser, in Dallas, for Republican senate candidates.
So he was unwilling to speak up after Jan 6, and unwilling to campaign against Trump, but happy to support the very senators enabling the agenda that is destroying democracy.
Iowa dinosaur senator Chuck Grassley is 93 years old.
First elected to Congress in 1974, when gas was about 49¢ a gallon.
1974.
Before the internet. Before cell phones. Before most of today’s America existed.
He’s been in Congress for 52 YEARS.
At some point, “experience” becomes permanent incumbency.
America needs new blood.

Fox's Jesse Watters says Democratic women with graduate degrees are "resentful and ugly." Unlike Jesse who's using enough moisturizer, hair dye and makeup to get a lifetime discount at CVS
Matt Walsh, and many like him, have the sole occupation of spreading rage. It’s how he feeds his family. He wants you locked in a rage spiral so that he can make money. He is occupationally incapable of not melting down. Once you realize it, it explains everything that he does.
Supreme Court upholds a century old interpretation of the 14th amendment. “They’ve destroyed America! There’s no saving us now! My panties shall never be unbunched again!”
Guess what changed after the supreme courts birthright decision?
Literally nothing. The right is acting like they just fell out of a helicopter and panicing
Knowles: "The one area where the Salem witch trials went a little far is I would say they weren't organized enough, they had random judges burning these ladies, I don't know if they were guilty or not"
MAGA will believe the Reflecting pool was vandalized with no video proof but deny an insurrection happened when it was on live television. These people are cult fanatics.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
A lot of people don’t realize that Paxton was impeached by members of his own party. He was accused of engaging in cartoonishly corrupt behavior while in office. It’s wild to watch people pretend like none of that ever happened.
Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons:
1) stay out of jail
2) exact revenge on his enemies
3) line his pockets
Everything else he says is bullshit.
They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.
They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.
They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.
They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.
They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.
They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.
They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.
They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.
To be a MAGA is to be a slave.
Not physically, but mentally.
They stand for nothing.
We're up against people who stand for nothing.
And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.
We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.
The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.
I don't even want to argue with them anymore.
I’m surprised Trump hasn’t been able to get Iran to surrender since he’s had all the cards for 9 weeks and they’ve been begging him for a deal every day.
In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House.
Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it.
And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.
