The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

It is genuinely weird that Trump has spent his whole life surrounded by extraordinary wealth and still has the absolute trashiest, tackiest taste imaginable.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

This is a man who knowingly took up Nazi rhetoric to gin up the hatred behind an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Haitian refugees from his own state.

Q: Why are you scapegoating immigrants for the issues you're supposed to be solving as the vice president? JD VANCE: To the extent my rhetoric has been imperfect, that's on me

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

When your racist white supremacy is only exceeded by your appalling stupidity, you moan in public that we aren't taking in more people from the whitest, most blond countries on Earth.

Trump's FEMA just delivered a message to states recovering from disasters: You're on your own. Trump, who threatened to abolish FEMA and has gutted the agency, is planning to cut federal disaster aid and shift the responsibility to states. This administration doesn’t care about anyone/anything. 😎✨

Abdul El-Sayed: In the richest, most powerful country in the history of the world, it shouldn't be this hard to afford a second bag of groceries. Shouldn't be this hard to fill up your tank. Shouldn't be this hard to pay your rent or your mortgage. Shouldn't be this hard to see a doctor.

Obama in Michigan: "He is focused on home renovations. He should be on HGTV! ... He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory"

Be careful my friends. It looks like they are trying it again. Apparently, in some places, when people have been trying to place votes it's changing the votes from Democrats to Republicans. Pay attention. It seems to have happened in Tennessee. I don't know where else but we may have #USDemocracy

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

Trump’s incoherence spreads a gossamer veil over the public declaration that the investigation will only proceed so long as he wishes it to.

Trump on Corey Lewandowski possibly being under investigation: "If view it as if people aren't honest, they're stealing from me ... I guess I could stop anything. I have no idea what he did."

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

A president saying clearly and with his full chest “I am directing the Department of Justice” to do … anything, would have been a five-alarm scandal in previous years. Now? It’s just a Tuesday.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

It's hilarious that Donald thinks being able to tell a giraffe drawing from a lion drawing, something any child in the first grade could do, proves he is a genius. What a sad, damaged fool.

BREAKING: CBC is already calling it, Alberta voters have voted to REMAIN IN CANADA in their non-binding separation referendum! A huge relief. No Brexit vote shocker for Canada. With many votes still being counted, it’s still VERY important what the final % is. The current “remain” vote is 76%.

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social

As Canada awaits the Alberta separation referendum results, let’s remember how stupid this all is. Huge public money spent on a Russian & American-fuelled separation movement for an awfully-written and badly managed unbinding referendum on whether to hold a binding referendum that would be illegal.
