Let's see how the media framed similar news when Biden was in the White House.
They’re the most disgusting hypocrites ever to walk the earth

Now Sleepy Trump isn’t a thing to lose votes over?
Joe Biden caught hell for stuttering (a natural thing he can’t control) but this goofy pie is full on taking naps in the middle of briefings and they are mum.

If this happened to a white boy, they would be on the internet for centuries telling y’all to never forget.

But since it happened to a black kid, any attempts to make sure stuff like this never happens again is seen as playing victim or the race card.


The youngest person executed in the United States during the twentieth century was only fourteen years old when he was sent to the electric chair.

June 16, 1944.

Columbia, South Carolina.

George Stinney Jr. was 14 years old.

A student.

A brother.

And a child whose case would later become one of the most controversial wrongful conviction cases in American history.

He was born on October 21, 1929, in Pinewood, South Carolina.

George grew up in the segregated South, where Black Americans lived under Jim Crow laws and faced widespread discrimination.

In March 1944, two white girls, 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker and 7-year-old Mary Emma Thames, disappeared near the small mill town of Alcolu, South Carolina.

The girls were later found dead.

The community was shocked.

Authorities quickly began searching for a suspect.

Soon, attention turned to George Stinney Jr.

Police arrested the 14-year-old boy and accused him of the murders.

His family was forced to leave the town out of fear for their safety.

George was held alone in jail, separated from his parents.

No physical evidence linked him to the crime.

There was no written confession.

There were no eyewitnesses who saw him commit the murders.

Yet the case moved forward rapidly.

Then came April 1944.

George’s trial lasted only a few hours.

An all-white jury deliberated for just minutes before finding him guilty.

He was sentenced to death.

At fourteen years old.

The sentence shocked many people even at the time.

But appeals failed.

Then came June 16, 1944.

George Stinney Jr. was led into the execution chamber at the South Carolina State Penitentiary.

He was too small for the electric chair.

According to reports, he had to sit on books so the straps would fit properly.

Minutes later, he was executed.

He was 14 years old.

For decades, questions surrounded the case.

Historians, lawyers, and civil rights advocates argued that George had not received a fair trial.

Then came 2014.

Seventy years after his execution, a South Carolina judge vacated the conviction, ruling that George Stinney Jr. had been denied basic constitutional rights and a fair legal process.

The decision could not bring him back.

But it acknowledged the profound injustice surrounding the case.

Today, George Stinney Jr.’s story remains a powerful reminder of the consequences of racial discrimination and failures within the justice system.

His name continues to be remembered.

Not for the crime he was accused of—

But for the questions that still surround his conviction.

George Stinney Jr.

Natural selection at work. Between anti-vax conspiracies and now anti pasteurization propaganda, maybe the science-denying crowd will eventually take the trash out themselves.

Almost like there was a reason Louis Pasteur spent all that time in the lab...🤦🏽‍♀️
According to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, as reported by Idaho News 6, almost 60 people have gotten sick since May 19 after drinking raw milk. So far, 45 of those cases have tested positive for Campylobacteriosis, an illness caused by Campylobacter bacteria.

Contrary to what raw milk drinkers believe, pasteurization does not significantly reduce milk’s nutritional value, but it does reduce the chance that you’ll be doubled over in pain as you alternate between spraying poop and vomit all over your bathroom.

Play steupid games. Win steupid prizes

Republicans may have their brainless minions on the internet fighting culture wars for them and lying about everything on the surface of the earth.

They can attempt to deny how expensive things have gotten. They can outrightly denying the resurgence of diseases that had been long conquered.

Long before their dodgy DOGE came and destroyed the nation’s defenses, but it won’t actually stop them from feeling the effects of the reality they are so actively trying to deny. Maybe they can deny it into non-existence

Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 7:38am On Jun 06
Republicans rallied behind hate, racism, bigotry, and their petty culture wars above all. Now they are surprised they get screw worms, impossibly high prices, and highly polluting data centers.

Yay greatness.
Screwworm infestations are an extremely painful and potentially fatal if untreated flesh eating parasite that was eradicated in the United States in 1966. It took decades of effort by the federal government to eradicate the flesh eating parasite in our country.

An untreated screwworm infestation can quickly become fatal for both animals and humans. Because these larvae exclusively eat healthy, living tissue rather than dead flesh, they will literally consume a host alive if they are not medically removed.

Since eradicating it in 1966 the federal government has run multiple programs to prevent its return. These programs worked as intended and screwworms were kept out of our country for 60 years. As soon as trump returned to office he and Elon Musk used DOGE to end the federal programs that prevented the return of screwworms in the U.S.

Now less than 2 years later there are already dozens of screw worm infestations in Texas and they are spreading.

Donald Trump literally ruins everything he touches. MAGA is literally the reason Americans right now are having flesh eating maggots eat them alive. This is what happens when incompetent morons who have no idea what they are doing are handed control of our government.

BULLDOZE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY? The White House ballroom case took a stunning turn in federal appeals court.

Per legal reporter Kyle Cheney, DOJ lawyers argued that if the federal government moved quickly enough to demolish a landmark, courts should not be able to stop it once the destruction was complete.

Judge Patricia Millett pressed the government's position with a hypothetical: What if the government decided to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty before anyone could challenge it in court?

MILLETT: “If the government decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors — that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the government moved too fast — nothing can be done?”

DOJ: “I think that’s right, yes.”

Let that sink in. The Justice Department is arguing that if the government acts fast enough, even irreversible destruction of a national symbol could be beyond judicial review after the fact.

The exchange came during an appeals court battle over challenges to the White House ballroom project and immediately raised alarm among legal observers.

Is someone actually here justifying kneeling on the neck as a restraint method?

As a human being who supposedly has common sense, nothing about that seems steupid or unreasonable to you?

Blocking off the trachea, carotid arteries, jugular veins, other nerves and blood vessels that supply the brain, heart and lungs (unarguably the most vital organs) doesn’t seem a tad irresponsible to you? You have a science degree (presumably) so I’m assuming this secondary school level of biology isn’t foreign to you.

I pray one day you look into the eyes of whatever you believe in and truly ask for forgiveness for what you have let yourself become in the bid to have undying loyalty to a political party. 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

May God, the universe or whatever you believe in forgive you and not repay you the evil you justify in this world!

Your personal lawyer managing investigations into crimes you have been accused of ? What could possibly go wrong for whoever was accusing you? Epstein’s victims were never meant to get justice. No matter how this administration packaged the case and sold it to Americans as a reason to vote for them.


May this kind of justice be the lot of anyone who says it is a good thing. May whoever did you wrong be in charge of investigating and proclaiming themselves innocent!

Pam Bondi has now admitted she was never truly in charge of the Epstein files and was merely a puppet while Todd Blanche ran the entire operation behind the scenes.

“Acting AG Todd Blanche was managing the entire investigation.”

Blanche is Trump’s PERSONAL LAWYER.

Blanche is accused of helping bury the names of Epstein’s most powerful associates tied to the child trafficking network.

Blanche has publicly claimed that Epstein had no clients, that Pizzagate is not real, and that Israel was not involved.

He was the only president dumb enough to take the bait and now he can't get out of this war.

“Iran 🤡has 🤡been 🤡attacking🤡 us for🤡 47 years”

Ode!!
President Donald Trump cursed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a roughly 15-minute phone call on Monday, multiple sources familiar with the call told ABC News, with the president angered by Israel's escalation in Lebanon and its potential to imperil the administration's ongoing negotiations with Iran.

Trump accused Netanyahu of being ungrateful and called him "crazy," sources familiar with the call said.

At one point during the tense call, Trump asked Netanyahu, "What the f--- are you doing?"

Axios first reported on the expletive-filled call.

News emerged on Monday that Iran was threatening to call off talks over Israeli conduct in Lebanon -- where the Israel Defense Forces are engaged with the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.

Real heavy hands of justice needs to start descending on these animals

An ICE agent who shot an unarmed Venezuelan immigrant through the front door of a Minneapolis home — and then allegedly fabricated a story to justify it — has been arrested in Texas.

Christian Castro, 52, was taken into custody Friday by Texas Rangers and agents from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General. Minnesota investigators had tracked him down in Texas after charging him earlier this month in Hennepin County District Court.

Castro faces four counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime. The shooting happened on January 14 during Operation Metro Surge — described by the Trump administration as the largest immigration enforcement operation in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area to date. Castro fired his weapon through the front door of a home while standing alone in the front yard, striking Julio Sosa-Celis in the leg. Investigators say Castro was not under physical threat when he pulled the trigger.

Here's where it gets damning: Castro claimed the men inside assaulted him with a broom and a shovel. But video evidence directly contradicted that account, and a medical examination found no significant injuries to Castro's body — just a single abrasion on his left hand. Investigators concluded he was standing and in no danger when he fired.

Castro is the second ICE agent to face charges out of Operation Metro Surge. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said it plainly: "His federal badge does not make him immune from state charges for his criminal conduct in Minnesota." The case is already reigniting a fierce national debate about accountability, use of force, and whether immigration enforcement has been operating without adequate oversight.

Regain which senses? Their insincerity and dubious spirit can never let them regain their senses. He said “whomever shouted that is insane but it wasn’t the narrative” as if it was just one person who said it.

It was literally a chant. A multitude of them screaming for the vice president to get hanged. And he’s casually brushing it off as if it was something said by one person as opposed to a shared sentiment.

You can’t debate truth with children of the master liar himself. I get absolutely disgusted interacting with people who can look you in the face and tell you that the sky is green when it’s clearly blue.

You cannot put any value to anything that comes out of their lying mouths.

My point here is that he managed to brag about his possessions in the process of saying that. Not his first , second or even third time. Na today we dey this thread? That’s literally how conversations with him sometimes end up. Which is why I don’t even care to engage him sometimes.
