When we clear the room of MAGA politicians, I’m fairly certain the truth will be revealed.

You don’t get that my life is shorter than yours, and I have learned to let it go. I owe you no substantiation. Seriously, sweetie, we’re done.

You know nothing about me, nor do I know anything about you. We are wasting precious time+energy. History will prove what it proves. You go on hating what the Democrats did (btw, I don’t entirely disagree, I’m just not hanging on to the anger), and I’ll support my choices. End of discussion.

We shall see. Your certainty and mine have yet to be proven. All we can do is work forward, to remove MAGA and restore some measure of sanity.

Someday, we’ll learn the truth: that he got illegitimate help from gerrymandering and Elonmandering.

CNN: β€œTake a look at Trump's net approval rating on immigration… Bad to just downright terrible. The American people have turned against Trump on what was his best issue.”

You don’t know me, so you don’t know how deeply I loathe Trump. I’m a native New Yorker, and have hated him since he first showed his racist ass in 1973. His deployment of the ICE kidnappers and the Natl Guard here in LA has rightly prompted the peaceful protests+violence supports his narrative.

The people causing the violence are *not* legitimate protestersβ€”they’ve gone home. These are criminal agitators, and should be referred to as such.

When the sun goes down, there are no more legitimate protesters in the streets; the media need to change their chyrons to read β€œcriminal agitators.” These are the people who feed Trump’s narrative.

One of the things I love about Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Operation Spiderweb is that, while he was being insulted by Trump, Vance, and the other idiots in the Oval Office, Big Z was already 15 months into planning the strikes. So extremely sweet.

There are no limits to my loathing for him.

Racism has always been Trump’s brand.

…but he was nice to the white South African visitorsβ€”two pro golfers and a luxury magnate.

Racism is Trump’s brand.
