I have never met anyone on earth - and I travel a lot - who lies as shamelessly as an elected Republican.
No one refers to Tim Scott as Timothy Eugene Scott. Just absurd he has to say this with a straight face, in order to be the Black Republican defending GOP racism.

To those few loud people on this hellsite, claiming to be pro-Palestine but now performatively attacking Abdul El-Sayed for welcoming a much-needed endorsement from Kamala Harris (it’s a swing state, he only won half of the Dem primary vote and needs the other half to win the general, and he especially needs Black voters), and thereby increasing the chance of pro-Israel, pro-war Mike Rogers winning in November, I can only say this:

Actually at the time I called it a ‘terrorist atrocity’ and ‘horrific attack.’ But these people are so gripped by hatred of Muslims, so deranged, so bigoted, so unhinged, that they’ll lie and fear-monger about anything to do with Islam or Muslims.

It’s a question Palestinians in Gaza have been asking everyday of this genocide, as they listen to Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben-Gvir.

10 years ago Bernie would have been on the outermost fringe of the Democratic Party? Erm, 10 years ago Bernie won 43% of the vote in the Democratic presidential primary.
I mean… the projection is strong in this one…
Like I said, dude is nuts, like Nazi-level NUTS 👇🏽
He called Fetterman an ogre.
Mayer is lying as ever.
There are many unhinged racist grifters on this hellsite these days but Gad Saad must be among the worst of them.
Musk defending a white woman calling a black man the N word but, hey, don’t you dare call him a racist (!)
There is zero evidence the Mayor of New York hates Jews. Zero.
But the President of the US, who is Huckabee’s boss, has made multiple disparaging remarks about *Jews* and hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner.

What a freak. Narcissist Trump refuses to leave the stage as Infantino repeatedly tries to get him off so Spain can celebrate.
Hi @ScottJenningsKY can you call back @SenMcConnell and ask him for a statement on Graham's death?
“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer
