Listening to @jonstewart is more worthwhile than listening to any political pundit in America (including me!)
Jon Stewart’s 2-minute history lesson here is worth everyone’s time before we start confidently breaking out our theories of what happened

The combination of Trump's enemies list-he has made more than 100 threats to go after his perceived enemies--and the Court's immunity decision, which Trump invoked re Jack Smith, is breathtaking. He can initiate a literal reign of terror w/ his own DOJ and be assured of immunity.

That’s one of the stupidest responses I’ve ever read. The Trump Campaign really thinks American voters are not intelligent enough to know what Trump was saying??

An understated horror of Vladimir Putin's insane attack to steal back Ukraine is the theft of thousands of children. Not sure what defines a 'war crime', but isn't this about as immoral and cruel as it gets?
It is extremely difficult to bring our people home from Russian captivity, and the hardest part is bringing back our children—the young Ukrainians stolen from their families, taken from our temporarily occupied territories to Russia, and hidden away. No one can say for certain how many there are, but we know there are tens of thousands. This week, a conference was held in Canada focused on a key point of the Peace Formula: returning all Ukrainian captives, all our deported and stolen people. More than 70 countries and international organizations took part. Our Bring Kids Back UA initiative is working to make this happen, with support from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the Vatican, and many other countries. We want true peace for Ukraine. Justice means bringing everyone home—all those the war tried to rob of their home.

F*CK ROGAN!!!!!
This is why no one should take Rogan seriously. Joe Rogan: 'Democrats are importing illegals into swing states to rig elections' It's another fantasy that he read on the internet. The guy is an idiot.

This is why no one should take Rogan seriously. Joe Rogan: 'Democrats are importing illegals into swing states to rig elections' It's another fantasy that he read on the internet. The guy is an idiot.
John Fetterman eventually admits to Joe Rogan that Democrats' 'Border Bill' merely converted illegal immigrants into legal immigrants, rather than preventing illegal immigration: John Fetterman: "I've never witnessed those kinds of a thing." [Illegals voting] I don't think there's that level kinds of organization." Joe Rogan: "But there is an organization that's moving these people [illegals] to swing states. There's a significant number of these people that are illegal immigrants that have made their way to swing states. And then there's been calls for amnesty. There's been calls for allowing these people to have a pathway to citizenship and allow them to vote. The fear that a lot of people have is that this is a coordinated effort to take these people that you're allowing to come into the country, then you're providing them with all sorts of services like food stamps and housing and setting them up and then providing a pathway to amnesty. And then you would have voters that would be significantly voting towards the Democrats because they're the people that enabled them to come into the country in the first place, first place and provided them with those services. This is a big fear that people have and that you're rigging this system and that this will turn all these states into essentially locked blue like California is." John Fetterman: "Well, you know, it's what immigration's always going to be a tough issue in our nation. I voted for for the border deal and that and that went down. They had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border bipartisan and that went down because Trump he declared that that that's that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with with the other side." Joe Rogan: "But was didn't that deal also involved amnesty and didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year? I think it was 2 million people. So still the same sort of situation. And their fear is exactly what I talked about, that these people will be moved to swing states and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever." John Fetterman: "Undeniably, immigration is changing our nation. And I think it's generally for a good." Joe Rogan: 'Democrats are importing illegals into swing states to rig elections' John Fetterman: 'Immigration is changing our nation, and I think it's generally for a good' Look at Fetterman and Rogan agreeing

Trump: "She announced today...Something. Whatever. It doesn't matter. It's all a lot of bullshit. That's all it is. She announced a scheme. She's going to do something."

Has he done Wank-The-Giraffe? I’d wait.
Where’s everyone going? Trump still has the Hannibal Lecter story coming up, he just needs to get through windmills causing mental illness in whales and Al Capone’s indictments. Come back!

Trump is actually boasting that he remembers the character Hannibal Lecter from "The Silence of the Lambs." And he cites this as proof of his "genius." This is not how a genius behaves. Yet his cult drools over his drivel. This man should not be near nuclear weapons.
Trump appears to be unraveling live on stage “When I say insane asylums, and then I say, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, does anybody know? They go crazy. They say, oh, he brings up these names out of— Well, that's genius. Right. Doctor Hannibal Lecter. There's nobody worse than him. Silence of the Lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory, but they always hit me. I don't bring it up too much because they have to take such a— he brought up Hannibal Lecter. What does that have to do with this? What is it? It has everything to do with it, right? He was… So I've done something for you for you that I haven't done in 20 speeches. I brought up Doctor Hannibal Lecter and we're allowing him, you watch, you watch these fake people will say again, he brought up Hannibal Lecter has absolutely nothing to do. You know I do the weave, right? The weave. It's genius. You bring up Hannibal Lecter, you mention insane asylum. Hannibal Lecter. You go out, no. There'll be a time in life where the weave won't finish properly at the bottom and then we can talk. But right now it's pure genius. Hey, I have an uncle, my uncle, Uncle John, my father's brother, 41 years at MIT, longest serving professor has so many degrees, he didn't know what the hell to do with them all in the most complicated. I understand a lot of this stuff, you know, I believe in that. Like, I mean, Jack Nicklaus is not gonna produce a bad golfer. Right. You know, that's the way it works. It's just one of those things and it's in the family and it's whatever”

A reminder that the pull yourself up by the bootstraps story is Cardi B, not Elon Musk — whose family was worth well over a $100 million when he was a child. He grew up in apartheid, benefitting from a system that legally prioritized whiteness.
I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm

Isn’t it time to pity this empty sack? If we let him take the oath, it’ll be Bannon, Stone, Miller, Vance, and Musk — along with Putin and Xi —who pull the strings.

No matter who wins or loses on Tuesday, I will never not stop being mad at Joe Biden and Merrick Garland for allowing Trump to face the electorate this week without having seen the inside of a courtroom for his crimes on, and ahead of, January 6th. Astonishing incompetence, caution, cowardice, and more from the top of the Democratic Party. They’ll say it was to try and retain faith in an impartial DOJ but, even after giving Trump a pass, the Dems and the Biden DOJ are still accused of carrying out a ‘witchhunt’ against Trump and of ‘weaponizing’ the justice system against him. So what was gained?
