Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

Trump claims he’s cracking down on fraud in Minnesota — while pardoning actual fraudsters. Over half of his 88 individual pardons have been for white collar crimes, including money laundering, bank fraud, and wire fraud. It’s all part of his pay-to-pardon scheme.

The Watergate break-in (which happened 53 years ago this week) began the modern era of “whatever-it-takes-to-win” politics — blatant disregard of any and all norms and laws that interfered with gaining or keeping power. Trump is the logical and inevitable consequence. https://bit.ly/3QV2m4s

Donald Trump was convicted of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal that threatened to derail his 2016 presidential campaign. He is the first U.S. president to be declared a felon. Here’s what happens next. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/30/n...

Joe Biden's age gets a lot of scrutiny, but it seems we never hear the same about Trump, who's just 3 years younger and is showing signs of serious mental decline every time he opens his mouth. And his recent campaign appearances and rants are no exception. Experts are raising the alarm.
Protest Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza all you want. But if you don’t think Israel has a right to exist, you are siding with the bad guys. Do better. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/s...

Boy are there a lot of self-righteous idiots supporting Hamas terrorism. Hard to see it as anything other than antisemitism. If they framed it as opposition to Israel’s defense tactics you could at least find common ground. But they just want to bark and yell and watch Jews get slaughtered.Fuck ‘em.
