Let’s stop calling MAGA Christo-fascists the “American Taliban.” Why bring Muslims into it? American Christianity has its own radical history. In Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, Christians piled weights on top of alleged infidel Giles Corey for 3 days, crushing him to death. We don’t need Islam for examples of extremism.

Trump took hundreds of classified materials to Mar-a-Lago. He failed to comply with a federal subpoena. He returned some documents, but held on to others.

Based on everything we know, none of this applies to Biden.

A Sheriff in Louisiana Has Been Destroying Records of Deputies’ Alleged Misconduct for Years
--
A lawsuit brought by the family of an autistic teen who died while in custody found the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office destroyed the disciplinary records of the deputy involved.

A ProPublica, WWNO/WRKF investigation found JSPO rarely sustained complaints against officers, despite allegations of excessive force, discrimination & wrongful death at hands of deputies.

This tornado emergency-warned storm in Alabama looks less like a QLCS and more like a supercell with an entourage. #WxMastodon

Stop giving religions a “pass” simply because they boast many adherents. A disheveled individual talking to herself on a street corner is seen as mentally ill - but if well dressed & surrounded by others doing likewise, she is seen as religious - even pious.
Abraham prepared to kill his son based on “God’s instruction,” & is lauded for his obedience. Anyone doing so today would go to the psych ward & possibly prison. We must live in #reality rather than #fantasy. #criticalthinking #atheist #RTS

Is Matt Schlapp grabbing a younger, politically much less powerful dude’s junk against his will Hunter Biden’s fault yet?

It’s not illegal to accidentally have classified documents. It’s illegal to take them and refuse to give them back.

Despite what the right would have us believe, there is no equivalency whatsoever between the documents found at Biden's old think tank and Trump's theft of hundreds of classified documents stashed at Mar-a-Lago. And now, none other than Karl Rove has gone on Fox News to make just that point.

When Fox News loses Karl Rove... 😂

The editor of a conservative news site wished everyone a happy 2023 and urged them to “shoot guns and watch college football.” Ten days later, she shot herself in the foot while watching a bowl game. Usually, the amount of time between the “f around” and “find out” stages is a little longer than that.
