In a sane reality, the #GArunoff wouldn’t even be close. Republican voters know very well Herschel Walker is dangerously unfit for office, but see him as a vessel for the GOP agenda. Sounds familiar…
There is no GOP principle other than power accumulation. Herschel Walker contradicts every single stated ideal Republicans falsely claim to embody, and yet they vote for him because there’s an R next to his name. Warnock still on course to win, but wow, this margin is nauseating.
When the GOP puts up a candidate like Herschel Walker, they showcase how little they think of their voters. When their base shows up to vote for him, they prove the GOP right.

Watch for yourself. In the same breath, Kanye West praises Hitler and attacks Jews.
Kanye West is blaming the entire Jewish community for his bad business deals. That’s what’s happening. He is echoing centuries-old antisemitic tropes, straight up praising murderous Hitler, and targeting millions of people all because he’s unhappy with his contracts. Just sick.
This is rock bottom for Kanye West. There is no coming back from this

This is a massive deal. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, is guilty of seditious conspiracy. The Oath Keepers coordinated with Trump advisor Roger Stone ahead of January 6
The fact a jury convicted on seditious conspiracy charges is remarkable. This isn’t a guilty plea like the Proud Boys. A jury found seditious conspiracy charges to be viable in relation to January 6. This could have massive ramifications for how the DOJ approaches future J6 cases
To put it more simply: The chances the DOJ charges people higher up in the January 6 plot with seditious conspiracy just went up

Graham once tearfully praised Biden's decency. Now he's threatening violence on behalf of Trump.

He traded his friendships with Biden & McCain for opportunistic Trump sycophancy.

He personifies the @GOP’s amoral pursuit of power.

My latest @Independent.

@GOP @Independent In 2019, Graham was asked about his transformation in loyalties.

Graham gave a clear explanation of both his friendship with McCain and his allyship with Trump. He said, ”If you know anything about me, it’d be odd for me not to do this... This is to try and be relevant.”
@GOP @Independent To Graham, this is all about relevance and power. He has no real principles. He blows with the political winds.

Now, thanks to the GOP's amoral pursuit of power and relevancy, we're in an unsustainably violent political environment of Trump and the GOP’s own making.

Sir, the feral hog thing was a Twitter meme. It wasn’t real @SenBillCassidy.
@SenBillCassidy Remarkable @ElizLanders kept a straight face during this interview
But idk, maybe Cassidy has a point. If 30-50 feral hogs were invading your farm World War Z style, you might need an AR-15.

Acosta is pointing out the truth about Tucker Carlson & Fox News.

You simply cannot separate the radicalizing right-wing rhetoric from the violence that has directly resulted from it.

Tucker’s new 1/6 revisionist history “documentary” is yet another example of this propaganda.
We’ve seen how Trump’s rhetoric was echoed in white supremacist manifestos, like the El Paso terrorist who targeted Hispanics. rantt.com/how-the-el-pas…
This history of indictment hasn’t deterred Tucker Carlson. In fact, he’s ramped it up.

He’s been openly pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement theory.

To no one’s surprise, white supremacists have been rejoicing about this in Telegram chats. rantt.com/how-tucker-car…

I finally just watched that Tucker Carlson documentary trailer and my god. I won't share it to add more views, but this might be the most dangerous piece of content dropped since the insurrection. Tucker and the Murdochs are tapping into the absolute worst of the American psyche.
This headline is evergreen. rantt.com/tucker-carlson…
Judging by new quote tweets I’m seeing, it looks like right-wing Twitter got a hold of this thread so let me go further:

Yes, blatantly lying about 1/6 and continuing to spread the Big Lie that radicalized these people is dangerous. Tucker is a depraved liar. I said what I said.
