You know when Justice Roberts said there was no Obama Judges or Trump Judges?..... Bullsh--t! www.cnbc.com/2024/07/15/t...

Trump classified documents case dismissed by judge over special counsel appointmentwww.cnbc.com The ruling by Judge Aileen Cannon in the classified documents by Jack Smith case against Donald Trump came days after Trump's attempted assassination.

Basically Cannon said to American people, just ignore the piles of classified documents in his bathroom at Mar A Lago.

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

I really, really wish the tone was: this guy whipped up violence with his rhetoric for years and now he’s reaping the whirlwind.

Pretending Republicans care about elevated rhetoric is like pretending they care about their candidate's mental acuity or email security.

We should do an Alex Jones conspiracy theory.. he set this up to garner sympathy. It's staged.

Don't make him a martyr. Defeat him on the ballot.

We have to talk...

Trump loves promising stuff that will never happen. (Infrastructure Week.) My favorite sad story is that big book with filled with empty blank pages that was supposed to his big health care plan to replace the ACA. Such an f**g fraud, like everything else.

I assume Trump's plan is to tell Putin: "It's all yours!" www.politico.eu/article/volo...

Zelenskyy to Trump: If you have a plan to end the war, tell us nowwww.politico.eu Presumptive Republican nominee claimed he would “settle” Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine before he even took office.

If you're so concerned about the stakes of this election you could just... spend the next four months writing about the stakes of this election. A constant drip of articles calling the Democratic nominee unfit is also not a great strategy for winning!

It’s good to vent. But we have to focus and channel our energy towards November. All this infighting and squabbling is a gift to the Trump campaign. I still believe in the America that rejected Trump in Nov. 2020. They will reject Trump again in November. Strike first. Strike Hard. No Mercy!

"Voters have expressed concern about his age as well, but not to the same degree as Mr. Biden's." I wonder why that could be! Could what news outlets talk about have anything to do with it? I guess there's no way to know!🙃

Trump's telling his MAGA supporters he will be their retribution-- So maybe Joe needs to do onto others before they do onto you.

This is what you get for calling out my wife's flags! Or making a big deal about vacations, RV loans and private jets. Or asking me to recuse cause my wife was helping Jan 6 rioters. Screw you and your ethics reforms! *sigh*

Trump gets pissed off at a country because they won’t help him with his election for a third term. In a fit of rage, he nukes them. “Hey, I have immunity! I’m acting in an official capacity!”

You can’t prosecute me… as matter of fact.. I’m going to prosecute you!

The arc of the moral universe is pretty damn long. I hope we swing back towards justice and not flying off a cliff. Can’t tell at this point.

Remember when Justice Roberts said there are no such things as Obama Judges or Trump Judges? Look in the mirror, folks!

We declared Independence from England because we didn't want a King. 248 years later, the Supreme Court thinks we do. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely assholes.

With the stated intent to engage in a massive deportation roundup, the option to use the Insurrection Act, and SCOTUS-bestowed immunity, I think it's worth noting how fast the total Trump takeover will occur. Weeks. That's it.

This often gets raised in the context of political retribution when the more obvious concern is civil society, protest groups, abortion providers, trans care providers, anyone "harboring" undocumented people. If you want to know how Trump will use DoJ just look to Ken Paxton in TX.

President Biden, you’ve been granted incredible powers by the Supreme Court. Use it! Conjure Dark Brandon and save democracy.

There is no choice left but except publicly criticizing the Supreme Court at this point. Playing nice gets nowhere. Trump constantly attacks the judicial system —- “Obama Judges blah blah” let’s call out the “Trump Judges.”

Change is "scary" for some folks. I've had Wegman's Chicken in a bag and it's fine. Easier to dispose of than the hard container. Of course--it is always an opportunity to stir outrage on social media. wapo.st/3zk1NKA

Costco’s rotisserie chicken is now sold in a bag. Cue the panic.wapo.st Costco changed its rotisserie chicken packaging to cut down on waste. Now customers are complaining about leaks.

Don’t you love it when you are the one that created the problem by cutting budgets(kids school lunches, library funding) then try to look like a hero later after folks call you out on it. #nycmayor
