2·6 days agoI still look back fondly of the time Obama beat Romney and the Fox News entertainers (Karl Rove and Megan Kelly) just couldn’t believe it, so they marched down to the polling office to demand answers
Good points and that chorizo looks tasty as hell. But the French reference was referring to it being called a “charcuterie” board.
"Look just because we control all three branches of government, have replaced compent government workers with loyal ones, tried to overturn the last election we lost and are working to ensure we’ll never be able to lose another (assuming our plan to incite riots doesn’t work so we can just declare a national emergency so we don’t have another election), have created a secret police to snatch people off the streets, are prosecuting our political opponents or anyone that we deem to be not loyal enough, are removing press credentials of journalists and trying to force news outlets to sign agreements to what that can report, are using the FCC to silence voices of dissent, have sent in the military to occupy our own cities, have had friendly oligarchs purchase traditional and social media companies to silence critics and push our own propaganda, are using government resources to push partisan messages, have declared anyone that disagrees with us as anti-American, are using our military to sink civilian boats and murder the people inside, are ignoring orders of judges who don’t rule in our favor, let our oligarchs choose which government programs to axe, created our own cryptocurrency to facilitate bribery by foreign nations, have declared anti-fascism to be terrorism…
doesn’t mean we’re fascist!"
She’s breaking ranks with Trump.
“The House is not in session, which I think is inexcusable. Mike Johnson should be calling us back. Because we should be working, not only on our appropriations but building an offramp off of Obamacare for the American people… and passing president Trump’s agenda and executive orders.”
Can’t help but feel like she’s not so much breaking ranks with Trump - but instead she has said one or two things that the media has spun up to make it sound that way for clickbait headlines.
Seems like they’re just bypassing the press and putting out their own propaganda via social media. Hell, Trump has his own platform he had the balls to call “Truth Social”.

Which head are you talking about here?
1301·16 days agoI browse exclusively on my phone, so deleting reddit apps and installing Lemmy apps was the biggest step for me.
I primarily browsed All, so setting my default sorting to All Top 12 Hours was key.
Finally, I made a point to comment and post more. This is where Lemmy beats Reddit hands down in my opinion. You can comment on posts that are hours old on All and still have meaningful discussions. Trying that on Reddit is like screaming into the void.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that I upvote almost everything. If you made a post that I read and it’s not complete trash, you’re getting an upvote. Same with comments. I upvote almost every comment I read - especially ones in response to my posts or comments. I feel like it let’s people know they’re being seen.
Fox News makes this sound like border patrol agents were getting beat up and the cops refused to help.
In videos circulated on Instagram, two masked agents could be seen trying to take a man into custody in the middle of a busy street.
Drivers shouted at the federal agents and blew their horns as onlookers gathered. The struggle went on for several minutes before the agents released the man and fled in an unmarked vehicle.
In reality, people yelled and honked their horns while the masked federal agents tried unsuccessfully to kidnap a man off the streets. Boo fucking hoo.
1·18 days agoI love the idea of this, but don’t really want a Trump/Epstein statue in my house.
Oh man, I’d be tempted to bet my savings on him living past then. That way I either win big or at least make some money.

Ah interesting. They actually removed that whole thing from the article after I posted my comment. I wonder if they got fact checked.
It’s in the article now near the end. He testified to Congress that he didn’t authorize a leak about investigating Hillary Clinton’s email server in 2016. But Andrew McCabe testified that Comey did.

“We don’t print propaganda, it’s propaganda.”
What a legend.
“Oh geez it’s not our fault, nothing could be done” they say as they overwhelming voted for Trump and said his policies would be better for them.
Yeah, if you have no morals, you can go far in this life as a Republican grifter.
