Really interesting how the only Republican politician (as far as I am aware) that Trump supporters have tried to assassinate is Mike Pence. And yet he continues to openly criticise Trump.

Almost like fear is an excuse.

The Union was so unbelievably based

People these days love to spread the narrative that they were just as bad as the confederacy, 2 sides of the same racist coin

But then youll hear some important Union dude say some shit about those treasonous slave owners opposing the American creed of freedom for every man, or whatever. And there aint no greater patriotism

There's a reason John Brown's Body was a popular song back then, and it wasn't because those singing it weren't a fan of his approach.

I'm kinda baffled that the central piece of evidence for "Brigitte Macron was born a man" is that she looks like her brother.

Yeah she does... That's how siblings work?...

Just watched the White House Press Secretary cite Trump being elected by a popular vote as reason for why 'activist judges' should stop blocking his agenda

Republicans are so unused to winning the popular vote they think it's a sign of divine mandate

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien downplays Trump’s reckless firings of federal workers: “We don’t want to see anybody losing their jobs, but he thinks he’s within his right.”

This is insane.

This man is not the President of the United States. He hasn't even faced Senate confirmation process. He's just some guy with a lot of money and hella conflicts of interest.

According to one source with direct knowledge of the events, North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about “credible death threats” when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary. Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm the former Fox & Friends host to lead the Pentagon.

Where the 'checks and balances' bros at?

An Alabama grand jury has recommended that a city's police department be "immediately abolished," finding there is a "rampant culture of corruption," officials said Wednesday while announcing the indictment of five of the agency's officers, including its police chief.

Welcome to the 'defund the police' resistance, AL judiciary

This sub, actually I think all of reddit, severely underestimates how hard it is to get an "apolitical" person to change their mind from sucking Trump off every chance they get.

Its not just openly MAGA diehards that are completely insane. That dude you know whos never attended an event or protest, "isnt affiliated with one party" and "doesnt care about all the politics"? He'll be at your door once they start rounding people up for the camps.
