There's really no complicated explanation for this, or any kind of grand theory. It's just Econ 101 and he flat out does not understand it because he's an idiot.

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

I’m sorry, but is Trump’s strategy in fighting off Ossoff’s Natalie insinuations to….to….make fun of Jon Ossoff’s looks?!! I’m sorry, THIS Jon Ossoff? Look shamed by THIS, whatever this is?! Bahahahahahahaha. Please, PROCEED. Bahahahahaha.

People are furious of course but this is one of the funniest things that's ever happened. He's been posting memes of himself hanging out with Douglas MacArthur and George Patton and he snuck off the plane in a box of pizza rolls

What do you MEAN they smuggled the president out of Turkey in a catering cart

El-Sayed on Trump posting image of him & his wife in a restaurant w/ caption "2 DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are 2 people who don't like each other joined in the interest in making billions off of you, or 2 people who genuinely love each other enjoying pancakes ... "

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

I bet Chuck Schumer and his billionaire donors are really, really worried about Zohran Mamdani taking over the Democratic party. I love this so much. 😂

Obama had professionals negotiating for 18 months, and got five other countries involved to complete the deal. Trump had a couple of real estate developers making it up as they went. It's the difference between professionals and amateurs.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Rod Stewart to King Charles on his visit with Trump: “Hello, sir. May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”

Unbelievable ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court. Meanwhile, all the Republican states will almost certainly let their new maps stand.

Someone asked a bunch of kids what the first thing was that cane to mind when they thought about Trump. Their answers are priceless. Check out the video.

You know, instead of debating how we should go overboard to protect the one man who's the most hated provocateur of malevolent violence in the entire nation, we could just remove him from office through the normal procedures.

Reporter: “Do you expect other countries to help with a blockade of Iran?” Trump: “Yeah, other countries are gonna.” Reporter: “Which countries?” Trump: “We don’t need other countries.” He is absolutely insane. video courtesy @dropsitenews.com

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.
