Jeffries calls Kristi Noem "a living breathing article of impeachment"
Donβt let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
Wondering what outfit Kristi Noem will wear to clear out her office.
Kristi Noem has been fired. My friends and I approve. But not sure if replacement Markwayne Mullin will be any better.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
Seems like a good time to post this again.

Y'all need to stop making fun of Kash Patel. Y'all act like you've never made that exact same face when suddenly confronted by a slow flushing toilet at the home of a new acquaintance. So just quit it.
So, I'm seeing signs this platform is dying off. Does anyone know where to find reliable stats?
I share this pain. My cats will sit at the sliding glass door and yell, 10 feet away from the 5 year old entrance built especially for them. The same one they use anytime I am not within eyesight. The same one they fly through when the lawn man shows up. That one.
No different than the Nazis of 1930s Germany with their idolatry of Hitler, for far-right MAGA fascists, everything is a purity test measuring a person's loyalty and devotion to Trump. It's a fucking fools parade of sycophants.

This you? Just two hours later?
This is horrifying and an example of just what is going on right now.

"β¦and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.β
Yes, quite.
Well, I'm sorry but you must be forgetting that the man who killed Charlie Kirk was a white man from a wealthy conservative family, who did very well in school and who received scholarships. Who are we, as white men fighting back against? Asking for the intelligent white men.

16/16. I cannot undo Kirkβs words. I cannot undo his death. But I can resist the contagion of hate that is overtaking all sides. I can choose, again and again, grace. Even when it costs me. Especially when it costs me. You can, too. Only love will make us great again. Not hate.
15/16. It takes little more than a brief review of world history and present geopolitics to understand that truth is on full display.
14/16. The physicist Steven Weinberg once said: βWith or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil, that takes religion.β
13/16. And most disturbingly, we hear religious leaders, charged with preaching love, turn pulpits into loudspeakers of hatred, disguising cruelty as virtue and division as faith. That, above all, chills me.
12/16. And so we scroll through feeds dripping with terror and outrage.
We watch conspiracy merchants grow rich by feeding us lies. We see extremism packaged and sold in the same marketplace as entertainment.
11/16. Immigrants, fleeing wars, disasters, and poverty in search of the same opportunities this nation once proudly promised, are cast as invaders, criminals, and parasites. The great betrayal is not theirs, but ours, when we reject them.
10/16. And who gets painted as the enemy? The poor are scorned as lazy and undeserving, rather than seen as people crushed by systems that reward the wealthy and punish the struggling. Minorities are demonized as drains on society, when in truth they are the lifeblood of its culture and progress.
9/16. Fear is the currency they trade in, because once people learn to fear, it is only a small step further to teach them to hate.
8/16. What kind of country are we shaping, where hatred has become our common language? We are drowning in it, whipped daily into frenzy by pundits and politicians who profit in money and power from the chaos.
7/16. To them, our existence is evil. Our relationship not worthy of recognition and undeserving of the full rights afforded by our marriage.
But I will not accept their definitions. I will not take up their hatred and wear it as my own. They can choose hate. I refuse.
6/16. In MAGA world, the righteous does not include me. To their movement, I am the threat. A gay, childless Democrat. Married to a woman who is gentle and good, and yet painted as wicked in their eyes, simply for loving me.
