Fox News Hypes Bogus Report By GOP Falsely Alleging that Biden Engaged in Impeachable Conduct

If anyone is looking for further affirmation that Fox News is the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump and his MAGA movement, the notoriously disreputable network that settled a 3/4 of a billion dollar defamation lawsuit for lying on Trump's behalf, just provided another example of its political biases.

Women got the right to vote 104 years ago this week.

Billionaire Peter Thiel says that's a bad thing, claiming the U.S. has been in decline ever since "the extension of the franchise to women."

Thiel spent $15M to elect JD Vance because he believes Vance shares his values.

Are we still pretending that this blathering, blithering, disoriented mess is less impaired than Biden was when every other headline was about how Biden must drop out for the good of the nation? JUST CHECKING. https://www.threads.net/@kamalahq/post/C-3UmD7sfoI?xmt=AQGzT6S7tP9bcnAP5wwFtf8pEjDPKYpb01jr0xdiTqteKQ

It’s hilarious that climate deniers’ “evidence” that there’s no sea-level rise is that rich people are buying beachfront property. I’ve warned those people, and their reply is always “we’ll just walk away when it’s bad.” That’s the thing about being rich.

Trump is a criminal, liar, rapist, thief, idiot, grifter, and a traitor.

MAGA: But can we trust a woman who would binge-eat a bag of Doritos with the nuclear codes?

Mitch McConnell: "The first thing they'll do is get rid of the filibuster. Second, you'll have two new states, D.C. (and) Puerto Rico. That's four new Democratic senators in perpetuity.”

It's funny how Republicans keep telling Democrats what they should do and Democrats keep not listening.

If owning a gun was an effective means of self-defense, your insurance rates would go down when you bought one.
But they go up, because actuaries have proven that you're far, far more likely to shoot yourself or a family member than someone attacking you.

Bunch of folks complaining that homeless people have now migrated to their neighborhoods. Same people cheering the inhumane removal of homeless people’s stuff. Without housing—where did they think they would go?

Lindsay Graham on Meet the Press today:

“His policies are good for America, and if you have a policy debate for president, he wins. [But] Donald Trump, the private [citizen], the provocateur, the showman, may not win this election.”

Yeah, good luck with that, Lindsay. The next time Trump lays out a coherent policy on anything, it'll be the first time.

@GottaLaff

This is what drives me insane when I hear how Trump leads to polls on the economy. Just shows how powerful the cult is with complete denial of reality.

My employer added a clause in my last NDA stating that I was prohibited from saying anything "disparaging" about the company. Now when anyone asks about job postings I tell them, "I'm contractually obligated not to say anything disparaging about them." None have ever applied.

WTF!! Canadian police are taking the lead from Americans?!!

'I need justice': Community rallies around 28-year-old father killed by police

"At the time, police said he matched the description of a driver who had walked away from a single-vehicle rollover"

👉 On Friday, EPS confirmed the officer who shot Mathios had returned to active duty after completing a "peer-driven" reintegration program.

Is it time to start calling him Elon Goebbels yet?

Michael Jagger has often stated that he suffers from anhedonia and can’t experience satisfaction despite years of trying in different ways

U.S. friends, today is a great day to check if you are registered to vote.

I just did it, and it took less than two minutes. Super easy!

Ways in which Elon Musk is like Bruce Wayne:

1. Likes using his vast resources to pick fights with people he doesn't like instead of helping society
2. Publicly seems like a weird reclusive rich dude. Privately, he's even weirder
3. Pretends he's a tech genius but someone else does all the work

Kadyrov is a notably deranged warlord and someone whose claims obviously shouldn't be taken at face value but if #ElonMusk did send him a cybertruck, or allowed one to be sent to him through some third party, that's sanctions-busting and should cost him his security clearance.
