Rubio needs to release a DNA test to prove that his Western bloodline wasn't sullied by the local indigenous population and that his Spanish ancestry was undiluted by the Berber conquest. Or, you know, he could adopt the basic liberal principles of our country.

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America.

Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

Dril post: turning a big dial taht says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

Funny how Marco Rubio tries to differentiate himself from all the other children of recent immigrants who are now getting removed from the country by the master he now serves. Rubio, you see, is a descendent of *the West*

Guilfoyle, in her prior role as a Fox News host, endorsed the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton for “racketeering” and “corruption” because Clinton was supposedly “willing to sell access” through the Clinton Foundation in a “pay-for-play” scheme. www.mediamatters.org/kimberly-gui...

Rubio called for "unapologetic pursuit of national power" just weeks after the US Ambassador to Greece (who got the job as a break-up present from the President's son) told Greek officials about overthrowing a country's government: "We can do that to any country we want. We can do it here."

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

MAGA media figure and former Colorado election official Tina Peters has been adamant that Trump has the power to intervene in the midterms. Yesterday, she allegedly met with the president in the Oval Office.
