I still remember when President Trump was the leader of the free world and you didn’t have wild conflicts all over the world going on constantly.

How I miss those days!

It’s time to bring leadership back!

BREAKING: Americans collectively cringe as Trumper Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw performs mental gymnastics to somehow ghoulishly blame the tragic deaths of the five men who lost their lives inside of the Titanic rout submarine on President Biden.

In a shocking statement that shows zero regard for respect towards the victims, and the families of the victims, who tragically perished in the accident, Crenshaw shamelessly declared that it was an “epic failure of leadership” from Biden’s Coast Guard, even though he only “heard” about Biden’s failures and he “doesn’t know” who is truly responsible” for the lost lives.

Trumper Dan Crenshaw continued, falsely declaring that Biden didn’t “deploy assets” that could have saved their lives — even though officials already declared that the victims died way before they could be saved — and millions of dollars were spent on the desperate missions to save their lives.

Adding insult to injury, Crenshaw then declared that President Biden should have “acted sooner,” even though he acted immediately — and even experts agree that it was “impossible” to save them at those depths after their vessel “imploded.”

The worst part is that Crenshaw is a former NAVY Seal — AND a certified division instructor — which means that he should know better before placing the blame on the President Biden.

Sadly, it’s just the latest, but most offensive, occurrence of Republicans twisting themselves into pretzels to blame President Biden for just about ANYTHING.

Please retweet, ❤️, and let Trumper Dan Crenshaw know what you think about his shameless attack on President Biden — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1.9 million raised from 4,600 of its users.

@JoJoFromJerz Not surprising at all.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

When Democrats had control of the House, they passed the American Rescue Plan, a bipartisan Infrastructure bill, the first major gun safety legislation in decades, the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the PACT Act and the Respect for Marriage Act.

Republicans have had a dude fight, a cat fight and a BS censure vote.

Any questions?

I don't mourn the fall of Bud Light... It's a watered-down beer I drank back when it was a badge of honor to count how many I drank in one night... What's sad is that homophobic assholes took down Bud Light instead of good taste but I guess those things are mutually exclusive...

NEW: During GOP conference today, House Rs did about a 15-min fundraising auction for chapstick used by Speaker McCarthy.

The winner: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), whose winning bid was $100,000, her Spox confirms to me.

[Lon S. Cohen @obilon]

@NoLieWithBTC @SpeakerMcCarthy He tweets “out of the country…” Think he meant “doing his damn job..” #GOPisAjoke

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

@SpeakerMcCarthy You had no problem raising the debt ceiling under Trump THREE times while passing tax handouts for the ultra-rich.

Now you’re trying to cut veterans’ health care and Meals on Wheels or crash the economy so you can blame Biden. We see you Kevin.

Here’s the police body cam video showing what happened when a @Hertz worker at the New Orleans airport called police because a Puerto Rican man kept insisting that his drivers license was valid. The Hertz worker denied the man his pre paid rental car because he couldn’t present his passport. The Hertz worker thought Puerto Rico was another country and so she insisted the man needed to show a passport. He didn’t. He is a U.S. citizen as are all Puerto Ricans.

This body cam video was first obtained by @FOX8NOLA.

You can judge for yourself the unidentified @KennerPolice officers demeanor / behavior. Marchand found it to be extremely rude and demeaning.

As for the Hertz worker, she seen on video saying to the customer, Humberto Marchand:
“Because you recorded as you’re not gonna be able to rent from Hertz ever!”

That’s not true. Hertz has already apologized to Mr. Marchand publicly and stated that the employees were wrong and will be retained.

It is clear that neither the officer, nor the Hertz employee, know that Marchand is right: his driver’s license is as valid as any other license issued in any other state. He didn’t need to show a passport to anyone. The officer could’ve provided clarity to the situation based on the fact that Puerto Rico is not a foreign country. He did not or was unaware of that fact.

In my initial report, I stated that Marchand heard the officer say that he would call border authorities. The body cam video does not show that.

As @FOX8NOLA’s @news_fuentes reported, the officer said: “Do not come back up here and cause any more disturbances.”
In the body camera video, Marchand asks, “You’re going to call what? Border services?”

[Jared Ryan Sears @JaredRyanSears]

How can a party be taken seriously when they present a bill to "denounce defund the police efforts" while simultaneously putting out statements demanding the FBI be defunded?

Do you not get how ridiculous this makes you look?

Everything is just a game for headlines.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

George Santos lied about where he went to high school, where he went to college & about working on Wall Street. He lied about an animal charity. He lied to collect unemployment benefits. He lied about his marriage(s), how his mother died (and how many times). He lied about his grandmother surviving the Holocaust. He lied about having employees who died at Pulse nightclub. He lied about being a drag queen, a Broadway producer and a journalist in Brazil.
He lied to Congress. He lied to his donors & to the voters.
He even swindled a disabled veteran with a dying dog!!
He���s been indicted on seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.
He’s a pathologically lying criminal conman.
And yet today, every single Republican in the House of Representatives voted to protect him from expulsion.
Because of course they did.

[Lon S. Cohen @obilon]

Care for mental illness IS a tremendous part of the problem. Let’s not disparage the Right because they use this point to deflect against their inaction on a growing lethal problem. Congress ALSO needs to pass gun control legislation. Hold them to both parts of the solution.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Republicans keep blaming mass shootings on mental health, but then defend the killing of the mentally ill too.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.
