    Berlusconi dissed Schulz with “I’ll put in a good word for you as the kapo” and it looks like amateurs’ hour in comparison to this

      The only common people left in MAGA are the people who would gleefully laugh at this.

      This isn’t their bottom, it’s their top. We need to act accordingly.

    Should knock Epstein out of the news cycle for at least a day or two.

    And the whole of our civilization slides further towards the Doom…

    Michelle and Barack have both always polled much more highly than Trump. Sure it amps up his core base of bigots but what else does it really do?

    Edit: Oh of course it distracts us from his brownshirt thugs and Epstein files. I should know this play by now.

      Is Trump racist?! Wtf? When did this happen? I wish there would have been clear evidence before this. He hid it so well.

    Every press question to his regime for the next few days should be do you condemn the President posting a blatantly racist video against a former president. Every question to Trump should be are you a rascist, why did you post the video. Don’t actually care about the dementia ramble Trump will spout. Watching the rest of his regime bend over backwards to defend one president but not another will just be evidence for their future trials

      And by doing this, journalists would be taking the focus off:

      • The Epstein files
      • ICE
      • Election meddling
      • etc.

      That’s the plan.

        I don’t follow TV media much, but every time I glance past it, I see stories about that one news readers mother being kidnapped. This country deserves everything it’s getting.

        Everything is a distraction form everything else.

        There needs to be a hardline where pushback begins. Out and out racism seems like a good one based on the other things.

          I feel like that is very much the case, and yet its horrifying that it seems to work. Like, how does the average American hear horror story after horror story and not care. Each incident just makes him look worse and worse to me.

        Real journalists would be concentrating on the Epstein files instead of promoting the lies of a serial liar.

        Americans have been executed for so much less. I don’t even think this is a controversial statement.

        That would just be the justice system working as designed.

        Trump is a criminal who has committed first degree murder, is a traitor to the constitution, has raped children… the only reason it’s considered controversial to suggest the state should execute him is because he’s in charge, nothing more. Ethically and logically it’s a totally fair statement.

        Arrest him, have a trial, and if the evidence shows he is what we all think he is, then let him serve the same punishment as any other American would. And that would be treating him better than he deserves.

    If you’re not American and you buy their shit when you have an alternative, you are part of this.

    He wants more traffic to his social media platform I think he’s already in talks to sell it for billions while we go to office again next Monday and have to do it for the next 30-40 years lol
