 “It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,” Rubio said at a news conference in Guyana, where he was meeting with leaders.

“It looked like a kidnapping.
They approach her and start grabbing her 
with their faces covered. 
They’re covering their faces.
They’re in unmarked vehicles.,”
Michael Mathis, whose security
camera captured the incident, 
told The Associated Press.

Are we there yet?

How many more national security mistakes will be allowed?

WWWD?
Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz, who Goldberg said
added him to the chat, in 2023 suggested that Clinton and
then-President Joe Biden should be criminally charged for 
mishandling classified documents.

“When you have the Clinton emails ... on top of the fact 
that the sitting President of the United States admitted 
he had documents in his garage...But they didn’t prosecute, 
they didn’t go after these folks,” Waltz told CNN at the time.

And the White House Press secretary responds to the Bar Stool Sports guy...??!?  

We have to take this serious now, Dave Portnoy says you can't pooh, pooh it
Ah, Idiocracy is ripe.

Her emails!!

Her emails?
Reminder, no evidence of mishandling
classified information was found in 
2019, during the current president's
first administration

Now
Texting / accidental leaking (to a Journalist!)
ACTUAL WAR PLANS is totally fine
just a glitch

No investigation, No witch hunt
No jail time

Perfectly safe when Republicans do it
Not reckless, Not illegal

We are in capable hands
And you bet all hands are on deck
lockstep grand old party

Fun fact:
president claims complete ignorance

Didn't MAGA want America First?

No war?

Why even bomb Houthi's in Yemen?

"For shipping costs? For Israel? To send a "message" to Iran,
which likely no longer has control over the Houthi's anyway?"

Sen. Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri,
also tried to downplay the seriousness of the fact that
Trump administration officials were using cellphones—
which are vulnerable to hacking from America’s
adversaries—to discuss classified information.

"This is what the leftist media is reduced to,”
Hawley said in an appearance on Fox News.
“So now we are griping about who is on
a text message and who is not.
I mean, come on.”

A new memoir by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Meta employee titled "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism," alleges that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a "careless" executive who attempted to persuade China to allow his company to operate there by assisting in the development of censorship tools and enhancing its AI capabilities, while keeping these efforts hidden from Congress.

Legislature is an equal branch of government

Don't give up our power, Don't privatize Social Security

Has anyone asked..

about the little secret between Johnson and Pres Gas?
It was supposed to be revealed after the election.

Also

Why did Pres Gas keep saying he didn't need votes?

Anyway, round of applause for everyone that let this shit happen.

Weird and whiney

Making cuts to the NIH over Defense

Why is that?

Musk Melon is a defense contractor

Why would he want to stop the flow?

Pres Gas touts anti-war, but then makes a bunch of little wars

This is okay to supporters now?

I guess we need Pentagon money

Call your Congresspeople--tell Dems to obstruct everything

tell Repubs not to cut funding to NIH or whatever department is on the slate next

Maybe tell them to check the books at Defense

You know, the department that has failed auditing 7 times in a row

Call your Congresspeople today!

Tell 'em you love all this lawlessness 

That you are excited to run wild like a cowboy or cowgirl

Let your character fly a freak flag

Scare the shit out of them

Oooo!

Unprecedented! 

breathlessly 

Again.

Duh

I’m mad

but it doesn’t matter 

I guess Americans voted for this

Tech bros yo

break shit knows better 

no humility

hostile takeover 

Government cheese

President gas on everything

and ketamine

Coup coup

Elected officials? Media? Law enforcement?

Should we find and arrest the illegal immigrant?

Yes.

tis for me

 

Cheers to 70s Good vibrations

 

Lunar New Year Snakesssssssss

Look up class consciousness

The wealthy are pointing in the opposite direction

The powerless are the enemy?

Dividing people is the point

We have the power if we come together

Oppose the Corporations, the wealthy

Don't be manipulated

Bring back, bring back

Oh bring back Occupy Wall Street 

to us, to us

Bring back, bring back

Oh bring back Occupy Wall Street

to us
