Remember these POSs? They are the unprincipled assholes who care not for the American people, but for themselves. Christie and the rest of the Republican candidates running for president are no different. – at Las Vegas, NV

if the email lady mishandling three emails has you shitting bricks, wait until you hear about the guy who instructed his pool boy and his butler to go down to the server room of his shitty vermin-infested golf motel and destroy the security tapes that show him pawing through boxes upon boxes of stolen classified documents, and fortunately for us, everyone involved in this super fucking illegal activity was too fucking stupid to get the job done

It appears to be a thing now on the right to cut video clips to make VP Harris sound like an inarticulate idiot. Classic example of trying to hit an opponent’s strong suits. Love her or hate her, she is one of the smartest and most articulate politicians we’ve ever had.

Tapes of interviews he was doing for a biography scheduled to come out post-presidency. The courts deemed them "personal records" and not subject to the Presidential Records Act.
Incidentally, the PRA says pretty much the exact opposite of what Trump says it does.

I've filmed the boxes, file boxes with blue tape over the months being moved in and put of Trump Tower when Trump arrived after the election. I found this amazing thread with the journey of the boxes by @the_peetape xitter.gq/the_peetape/status/157…

"The Secretary of Defense is remarking that hostile powers are delighted with the chaos a US Senator from Alabama is causing in the US military. It is frightening, unacceptable and infuriating."

Senator Tommy Tuberville's decision to block military promotions has been deemed as dangerous by critics[1]. This action has raised concerns for several reasons:
Harming civil-military relations: By blocking military promotions, Senator Tuberville is undermining the trust and relationship between the military and civilian leadership[1]. This can have long-term consequences for the effectiveness and cohesion of the military.
Undermining military readiness: The halt on promotions can disrupt the chain of command and create uncertainty within the military ranks[1]. This can have a negative impact on military readiness and operational effectiveness.
Damaging military retention: The inability for military officers to advance in their careers due to the promotion block can lead to frustration and demoralization[1]. This may result in talented officers leaving the military, which can have a detrimental effect on the overall strength and capabilities of the armed forces.
It is important to note that Senator Tuberville's block on military promotions is specifically tied to his opposition to Pentagon policy on abortion[2]. Critics argue that this approach is reckless and puts political considerations above the well-being and effectiveness of the military[2].
While Senator Tuberville's hold on promotions does not have the power to ultimately stop Pentagon nominees from being approved, it can significantly delay the process and impact the progression of military officers[4]. This has raised concerns among lawmakers and military officials.
In conclusion, the decision by Senator Tuberville to block military promotions has been criticized as dangerous due to its potential negative impact on civil-military relations, military readiness, and military retention.

Between 'Oppenheimer' serving as a strong reminder of the ability of one person to start a nuclear war and the appalling misconduct of MAGA Republican leadership in deference to Donald Trump, it should be clear that we need to elect honorable leaders in 2024: youtu.be/W8ch8fFSR2U

The IRS collected $38 million from 175+ millionaire tax cheats in the past months — one bought a Maserati & a Bentley instead of paying taxes they owed. House Republicans want to slash IRS funding to protect wealthy tax cheats — we should be increasing it.apnews.com/article/irs-tax-t…

17 people were murdered at my high school in Parkland. The Chairman says that’s not a serious topic! Tell that to the parents that visit their kids at the cemetery. I know the Chairman is obsessed with Hunter Biden, but he didn’t kill anybody in my town. Neither did gas stoves.

Ron DeSantis is a racist, homophobic, transphobic, extremist piece of sh*t. There’s no other way to describe him.

The Inflation Reduction Act is working. Inflation is down. The economy is growing fast. Unemployment is at record lows. And manufacturing is booming in places like Ohio, Arizona, and Georgia.
