🔥 @niallstanage.bsky.social : “This isn’t just about @markruffalo.bsky.social , it’s about the conflation of criticism of 🇮🇱 policy with antisemitism… the smearing of brave organizations of American Jewish activists speaking out against 🇮🇱 abuses against the Palestinians.”

The Worst and Most Corrupt President Ever’s D-Day Sanctions on Iran:

So Bessent’s “economic DDay” announcement is that zero sanctions are announced against anyone specifically, and when asked if China or other huge mutual trading partners of Iran and the US will be sanctioned he says they will engage “in quiet diplomacy” with them. What a joke.

From the MarKODA Files-Things That Do Not Exist Edition:

It’s been literally every poll, every week, for over a year. Including every Fox poll. This guy is completely isolated and insulated from the real American public and when he isn’t lying he being lied to by court jesters and sycophants.

Trouble in Paradise:

Former Trump White House Deputy Press Secretary @sarahmatthews1.bsky.social: "I imagine Melania's rate has gone up." 👀Sarah says she never once met the First Lady when she worked for Trump, and imagines Melania's appearance fee has gone up in the wake of #NatalieGate. Family values!

Trump’s Incompetent Ass Kissers:

This is Vance’s second trip to Maine to campaign for Susan Collins. And yet, both times Collins was “unable to attend” his events. I wonder why Susan Collins won’t get on a stage with Trump or Vance in Maine?

This pretty accurately sums up the reason Trump endorsed her. She doesn't know anything so her job will be to just support Trump and do what he says. bsky.app/profile/atru…
