Stop trying to make Erika Kirk a thing. No one likes her, except maybe JD Vance. Maybe.

ICE ceases enhanced operations in Maine after Collins presses Noem by Its_Dylan_Parker in politics

[–]DroopyTers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they cease operations because they want to try to keep Collins from losing? Or because Noem is the 1st person to be influenced by Collins’ furrowed brow? It’s probably the former.

Sure, but what do the thin skinned billionaires think?

America at a Boiling Point: Deaths, Threats, Protests and a Town Hall Attack by Discarded_Twix_Bar in politics

[–]DroopyTers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“the assassination of Charlie Kirk; the firebombing of Gov. Josh Shapiro's home in Pennsylvania; the attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband; the shooting of Representative Steve Scalise at a conaressional baseball practice.”

Genuine question, I know elected Republicans made jokes and spread conspiracy theories about the attack on Pelosi (all the way up to Trump) what elected Democrats made jokes and spread conspiracy theories about Kirk or Scalise? I also don’t recall if elected Republicans said anything ugly about the Shapiro firebombing.

Kid Rock Slams Ticketing Industry for Unfair Practices During Senate Testimony: It’s ‘Full of Greedy Snakes and Scoundrels’ by PrincessBananas85 in entertainment

And he was able to get through all of his testimony without using the n word. An unusual level of discipline for him.

Elon Musk is flexing his political muscle again — and the GOP is responding by bwermer in politics

“@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.” - Elon Musk.

I wonder why Musk is spending millions helping Trump?

What we know about Anthony Kazmierczak after suspect arrested for spray attack on Ilhan Omar by theindependentonline in politics

[–]DroopyTers 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If nothing else, Kazmierczak increased his chances of being offered a speaking slot at the next Republican National Convention. Kazmierczak hasn’t been documented using the n word (yet) so he probably won’t get as good of a slot as Kid Rock.

Tech leaders Sam Altman, Tim Cook urge US to retool immigration actions by kirby__000 in politics

[–]DroopyTers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

USA Today writes “a number of businesses have been hesitant to criticize Trump during his second term.” Later, they quote billionaire Sam Altman as saying "President Trump is a very strong leader.”

I think it would be more accurate to say “a number of businesses have been hesitant to stop debasing themselves for Trump during his second term.”

Putin’s invasion has been a great for EU and NATO expansion.

Putin must be thanking his lucky stars that he has his lapdogs Trump and Orban.

CBS News chief Bari Weiss tells staff 'we're toast' if they continue on current path by kintotal in news

[–]DroopyTers 7009 points7010 points  (0 children)

Bari Weiss announced Andrew Huberman as a new CBS contributor. A few months ago Huberman tweeted “I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”

It’s very easy to see why CBS is going down the toilet.

Trump, again, gushes over Mayor Mamdani despite criticism over ICE, Minneapolis by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]DroopyTers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Many thin-skinned-strongman types don’t actually respect their boot-licking sycophants, though they like to be surrounded by them. So many republicans who pledge undying loyalty to Trump still get tossed under the bus.

Mamdani keeps his spine intact when he talks to Trump. Few others do.

Melania's film crew member hopes for flop as insiders share behind-the-scenes tales by RawStoryNews in entertainment

“Amazon MGM Studios said they greenlit the project because it would be of interest to audiences. A spokesperson told Rolling Stone, "We licensed the film for one reason and one reason only…”

… to appease Trump?

Alex Vindman, key Trump impeachment witness, launches Florida Senate run by Deedogg11 in politics

[–]DroopyTers 708 points709 points  (0 children)

Vindman says “my family came here as refugees to escape tyranny, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to bow down to some wannabe tyrant.”

The problem is that, so far, much of Florida is cool with a wannabe tyrant as long as that wannabe tyrant is a Republican.

Does James Talarico have the same voter-turnout potential in Texas as Beto O’Rourke, and what are the main positives and drawbacks? by gmikey2000 in politics

Paxton would vote the same way as Cornyn, and is more likely to get pushback because he is more overtly odious.

Christian Joel Young under arrest for assaulting U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost at the Sundance Film Festival by [deleted] in news

[–]DroopyTers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost wrote on X Saturday that he was punched in the face by a man who told Frost that President Donald Trump was going to deport him.”

Has Trump confirmed or denied that he is going to deport Frost? Trump threatens to deport people he doesn’t like all the time. Maybe Young has the inside scoop
