A president gets “shot” bc we see blood, surrounded by Secret Service who should have gone with Trump to the hospital and stayed with him. Instead he got in his limo with fake Ronnie Jackson “bandaging his ear.” Gets to the hospital and demands everyone sign NDAs . Wanted doctors to sit next to him for a press conference there- by only Trump could tell the “story.”
And he got away with it!

Leaked Russian documents reveal that the Russian IT group, the Social Design Agency, explicitly identified Marjorie Taylor Greene as aiding their efforts to spread misinformation about Ukraine.
The next two months are going to be flooded with lies and manipulation. Please, think critically before sharing content on social media—it’s more important than ever to verify before amplifying misinformation.
@Iveyjanette1 Old story about a bar where everyone has heard all the jokes many times and refer to them by number. A man says #23, everyone laughs. Another, #17, laughter. Then #35, silence. He doesn't know how to tell a joke.
Imagine Trump doing this for his lies. #87, cheers. #46, lock them up! #98, build the wall! #13, back to her own country! Would save a lot of time.

Perhaps the most dysfunctional Congress ever.

@feloneouscat Brilliant idea. He is so easy to manipulate, as Putin and US billionaires well know. My Xitter account is long gone but I'll cheer you on.

I’m watching the interview of VP Harris with the NABJ and the comments Fox makes , Trump inherited a healthy economy from president Obama, he didn’t do a good job as president at so many levels and certainly not the jobs , Trump lost manufacturing jobs during his presidency even before the pandemic hit, that is something not many people know.

@th3j35t3r As Trump told his nephew while refusing to help with medical bills,
“Those people . . . The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

If I ask a conservative to explain to me what he thinks I think, I could get a few different answers, but most likely he's going to start out with this:
"You think that government should have all the power to interfere in people's lives, that bureaucrats know what's best for everybody, and that people shouldn't have the right to follow their traditional values..."
And that is so exactly not what I think.

Trump policies always drive prices up, not down. The Trump term of 2016 to 2020 rode on economic prosperity brought on by the economic reforms of the previous Obama administration, giving Trump a lot of prosperity to kill before the damage became visible. Trump follows the GOP playbook:
GOP tanks the economy,
Dems fix the economy,
Repeat, ad infinitum.
@GeezerWench It looks like it's a series examining various impacts of the blueprint. I haven't yet listened to this latest.

@InUnfunky The GOP concept of a plan to replace Obamacare.😉 The Ättestupa
@LnzyHou I think Borowitz claimed she was wearing her jacket, "I really don't care, do you?"
@LnzyHou I wonder if he's decided on which golf course and hole to bury Melania if she should suffer an.... unfortunate accident, as they say in Russia.😉🥵
Republicans have a line they won't cross?!?!

@feloneouscat Wait, I have an AI making typos for me. It's called autocorrect.😉
@nursefrombirth Great news, thanks.
But also very sobering to realize how many basic American rights hang by a thread, depending on the rectitude of the many judges who remain dedicated to their oaths of office.
Yet a main thrust of the GOP for decades, especially effective in the Trump years, is to replace such judges with corrupt political pawns, from the lowest to the highest bench.
@feloneouscat When South Africa sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re using drugs. They’re inciting crime. They’re promoting rapists. And some, I assume, are good people
@grrlscientist All women? Maybe instead look at the end result of a society built around Vance's ideas, and then only those women who find such a society unattractive should vote Dem.
That might be, what, only about 99.9999% of them?😉
