Irish. Like my sports. Other than that I'm generally pretty annoyed at the world. Not an expert in ANYTHING, so don't believe a word I say.

No one will actually receive $1m of course. But it will get all the right wing idiots reporting on POC who they will assume are illegals. Trump will then use these reports to muddy the waters when he loses the midterms. All for free. The way he likes it.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Ask for something you think might benefit you, then complain that it being highly irregular and "Deep State-ish" when you lose. This is the far right every single time. Beautiful.

This may shock you, but the far right Bolsonaro is a hypocritical piss-baby.

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

I don’t get it. If the tariffs are great for America and are bringing back manufacturing and are one of Trump’s signature policies, why won’t the Republicans who refused to overturn them even mention them?

Can't imagine this is how Putin saw his life when he invaded Ukraine. You love to see it. Taking vital SAMs away from critical infrastructure just to help him sleep at night.

I have a strong irrational hatred of those "shushing" player profile pictures. Irritates the p1ss out of me for some reason #LEIvMUN

It's all disgusting. Every facet of this abortive smear campaign.

Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Always an easy way to weed out the true idiots, the "Hitler was a socialist" wheeze.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

Ugh. The whiny needledicks pulling the handcart to hell. I’d take whatever “feminine energy” is over brittle masculinity any day. Go to therapy and leave us all alone, you broken boys.

“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

has mmfa or someone like that compiled a comparison of airtime and front page headlines given to hunter biden vs jared kushner, given that kushner's alleged corruption is about 1000x larger, you would expect it to receive more coverage than Hunter's, right?

The only thing Donald Trump could do at this point to be more clearly supportive of pedophiles would be wearing a t-shirt with bold letters attesting to his preference here.

Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

Nothing to add on this one.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

You have had Trump constantly banging on about his SAVE Act and and saying why the Democrats don't want to show ID to vote. And anyone with a brain called bullshit, because of cource it was. Because it isnt about ID, its about voter supression. And here is a perfect example. Its not ID the GOP has..

If nothing gives you hope it is this: these racist right wing f*ckers are old and dying, like their God Emperor. There are more of us, and the younger generation hate Trump as much if not more. Its a waiting game. These old, stupid, whinging Boomers have had their day.

Nearly 2 in 3 U.S. adults younger than 30 who plan to vote in midterms say their main motivation is to oppose Trump and his policies, according to a new Harvard Youth Poll. 77% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy — including about half of young Republicans.

This is not how American democracy should function. It’s getting worse every election, not better. I know constitutional amendments are difficult, but it seems like there should be a bipartisan supermajority of citizens who say enough with this stuff.

And this is always how it goes when the far right is in power, they move from the easiest targets in their minds, up the ladder until there is no-one left. Except a bunch of drug addicted, brain addled fascist psychos sitting in a bunker with a gun to their head.

They will always be shitty people, but people like Burchill and Littlejohn can see at least see that the writing is on the wall for Trump. And they want to get ahead of it now, not later.

To Trump, any woman who has been sexually assaulted is a liar. This is one of the few things he has been consistent on.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper

Really enjoyed this podcast, especially with the rumours that Trump has decided to strike Iran in the near future after Bibi briefing Hegseth. And if I learned nothing else, it was how Mojtaba Khamenei's first name is actually pronounced....

literally moments after claiming he gave up nothing in exchange for a hostage who was being held by Putin, Trump admits that he didn't implement sanctions on Russia in order to get the hostage

Good question and fantastic answer.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

When JD Vance says Abdul El-Sayed should express "gratitude" for what America has given him, Vance is really saying he's lower on the American hierarchy than "heritage Americans" are. I asked El-Sayed to respond to this point. Here's his answer: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

So: never got confirmation my ballot had been received so I checked. For whatever reason they never got it. After helpful emails w military/overseas voter support, I re-sent my ballot (YES on 40, NO on 41 & 42). In any case, make sure your ballot arrives & is counted! www.vote.org/ballot-track...
