The official account of the North Carolina Republican Party on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted an image showing Trump holding a lightsaber. The text says, "May the Fourth Be With You," which is a play on the Star Wars line, "May the force be with you."
The problem, as social media users were quick to point out, is that the ex-president was shown with a red lightsaber. According to Vox, "Sith usually use red-hued" lightsabers, such as the one Darth Vader wields.
National security attorney Bradley Moss wondered if the state GOP outpost was ignorant.
"You gave him... a red lightsaber? Do you know anything?" he asked Saturday.
Democrat Harry Sisson said, "You know the dudes who have the red lightsabers are the bad guys, right? Didnt watch the movie I guess?"
@Venti__Poet chimed in in response to the post, "At least you know he is on the dark side."
@cj_bria said, "So, hes a Sith Lord? Sounds about right!"

The far-right congressman understood the message and acted accordingly. The conservative Washington Times reported:
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan accused the Justice Department of coordinating with New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg in a politicized prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Mr. Jordan demanded in a letter recently to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland that Mr. Garland hand over documents and information about Matthew Colangelo, a former senior Justice Department official who now is a lead prosecutor for Mr. Bragg in the Trump hush money case.
Chances are, most of the public has never heard of Matthew Colangelo, though your weird uncle who consumes conservative media all day is very likely aware of him.
As we discussed a couple of years ago, Colangelo served as a former senior Justice Department official with a long history of taking on Donald Trump, including having led the investigation that led to the shutdown of Trumps fraudulent charitable foundation. When he joined district attorney Alvin Braggs team in 2022, it was evidence of an intensifying investigation into the former presidents alleged crimes.....
Days later, Jordan demanded that the attorney general provide his panel with evidence related to the Colangelo conspiracy theory at which point Bannon was pleased by the start.
When Jordan took over as chair of the Judiciary Committee, it stood to reason that far-right voices would help call the shots. I didnt realize, however, just how easily he'd be bullied into submission.
Jordan tried to pressure DA Fani Willis and was embarrassed in those efforts See https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=edit&forum=1014&thread=3209116&pid=3209136 Jordan's efforts here will also fall apart
The Republicans and RFK Jr want to make vaccines optional in our schools.
I am dating myself but I remember getting a sugar cube with the polio vaccine. My sister who is only 11 months younger than me had polio but recovered. I was very young when I got the vaccine but the fact that my sister was being treated for polio somehow made getting a sugar cube memorable.

The Republicans and RFK Jr want to make vaccines optional in our schools. Are you okay with bringing diseases we no longer have to suffer with back to our children? I am not! This kind of nonsense will put our children at risk and could start epidemics again. Please for the health and safety of all of us, dont let the Republicans roll us backwards. They are proving that they dont care about human being after they are out of the womb. No, vaccines do not cause autism.
And remember that Trump called COVID a hoax while thousands of people died from it. Dont put dangerous people in the WH.
TFG keeps on repeating the same lie-there are no after birth abortions in the real world

Students for Justice in Palestine is demanding a boycott of Hillel, a Jewish institution.
As the father of three Jewish children, this demand really pisses me off.

Biden-Harris campaign statement on Donald Trump this weekend attacking Social Security,
https://twitter.com/BidenHQ/status/1787169166992060853House Democrat indicted by DOJ, undermining GOP talking points
As a Democratic member of Congress is indicted on corruption allegations, the idea of a "weaponized" Justice Department has been thoroughly discredited.

As things currently stand, the Justice Department, under the leadership of Attorney General Merrick Garland, is:
prosecuting President Joe Bidens son;
prosecuting an incumbent Democratic senator, New Jerseys Bob Menendez, during his re-election bid;
prosecuting an incumbent Democratic congressman, Texas Cuellar, during his re-election bid;
investigating an incumbent Democratic congresswoman, Missouris Cori Bush, during her re-election bid.
For good measure, its probably worth mentioning that the Justice Department also appears to be investigating Eric Adams, the high-profile Democratic mayor of New York City.
And yet, despite these developments, one of the animating concepts in contemporary Republican politics is that rascally Democrats have weaponized federal law enforcement to punish GOP figures and shield Democrats from accountability. The Justice Department and the FBI, leading Republican voices insist, are little more than political tools for the Biden White House and its fiendish allies......
Indeed, if Biden and his team were trying to weaponize federal law enforcement to benefit Democrats, theyve proved themselves to be incredibly bad at it.
In advance of the 2018 elections, Donald Trump complained bitterly about federal law enforcement charging two of his congressional allies, and the then-president whined about the Justice Department undermining the Republican Partys electoral plans.
Six years later, federal law enforcement is prosecuting two Democratic members of Congress, potentially undermine their partys electoral plans, and Biden is taking a responsible, hands-off approach.
Many if not most American Jews and a large percentage of Israelis are mad at and do not support Bibi Netanyahu
Bibi is an asshole who using the assault in Gaza to stay in power. There have been major protests in Israel of Bibi's policies. Many American Jews and Israelis have been and will continue to attack Bibi.
