Watching Irish, Polish, and Italians and their cousins in the US try to be white supremacists is so weird, since that's who the wasps wanted to exterminate.

BREAKING: Russian sources say that Putin is very unlikely to agree to a U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine because his forces are advancing…

Let me guess, MAGA will still blame Zelensky for “not wanting peace,” right?

Listen to Michael Douglas. You all are insane.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Trump knows what he’s doing, he wants Ukrainians to die and is deliberately assisting Putin. This isn’t a misguided policy or incompetence. It is intentional and an act of war.

Perfect!! Stick around, endure!!

@MalaakSafa Yes we do.

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

Navarro: Let's be serious. Donald Trump and his minions call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old. I don't take it lightly. And let me tell you what communist dictators do. And it's never just for one day. They attack the free press. They call them the enemy of the people like Ortega does in Nicaragua. They put their unqualified relatives in cushy government jobs so they can get rich off their positions like the Castros do in Cuba and they refuse to accept legitimate elections when they lose and call for violence to stay in power like Maduro is doing right now in Venezuela. Now you tell me something. Do any of those things sound familiar? Is there anybody running for president who reminds you of that?

Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI
1. Diversity
Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed.
You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain.

1a. We live in a country with very diverse demographics. In this era where trust of businesses can be hard to come by, people tend to connect more easily to people who are like them. Having a workforce that is diverse and representative of your stakeholders is good for business.

1/Arraignments are mostly routine like yesterday's was. But the routine process shouldn't mask the significance of a former president facing charges of trying to steal an election. If he'd succeeded democracy would be at an end. Trump criminal behavior is exhausting, but...

[Taylor A. Smith @FpotusTruth]

Murdoch admitted that Fox News hosts endorsed false and stolen-election claims under oath.

Sean Hannity claimed under oath, that he knew all along that Trump lost the election.

Tucker Carlson admitted under oath that he never believed that the election was stolen.

Laura Ingraham texted Tucker Carlson "No serious lawyer could believe what they were saying”.

Rudy Giuliani recently admitted only after being sued for making defamatory statements against 2 poll election staffers, that he made false statements about them and was lying.

To this day, 45 still tells his supports that the election was stolen from him. Frustratingly & sadly they still believe him.

For me, it’s like …let’s back up a minute. The capital was ransacked and blitzed by Trump supporters over a lie that has been proven to be just that. There are over 1000 people that have been charged for their involvement in the riot over a lie that has been proven to be just that. Lawyers have lost their licenses, Kari Lake has lost her mind, Mike Pence was hunted and was ordered to be hanged, and the election process is still in question to this day by the right, all over a lie that’s been proven to be just that. The more you look back, the more you realize that none of them had no reason at all to be that mad and unpatriotic. No one stole anything, you were lied too, it’s on record, and your leader is the biggest sore loser in history.

The amount of damage that was done over arguably, the biggest lie that America has ever had to digest in it’s history, is staggering and telling.

At what point do they all see and admit that it was them, and only them, that tried to steal the election? At what point do they all say 45 lost? Where’s the benefit for anyone to keep lying about it when court documents show otherwise?

There’s nothing more looney, mind boggling, and pathetic than that, and there is certainly nothing more Anti-American.

Until every Republican leader in Congress, leaders at state levels and positions, and 45 himself, can admit this Truth. They don’t deserve your vote.
