It's been said a billion times already, and it still can't be said enough: I don't see how US democracy survives if blatant, intentional lying remains cost-free

Oh my God

Happy Veterans' Day to everyone except our Commander-In-Chief, who, being a well-documented sociopath, doesn't possess the capacity to understand the concept of honor, or the selflessness that our servicemen and women exemplify every day to keep our country safe

On the one hand, Trump is explicitly threatening to use the military to occupy Blue America. On the other, he's so clearly in mental and physical decline that he can barely choke out his "look at me I'm a fascist dictator" routine without slurring words and stumbling all over them

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

When it's all in the same thread, it seems way more obvious

Remember when scholars of authoritarianism told us he would go after his political opponents, unions, academia, and the media and people were like, “But Tim Walz got the date wrong from when he was in Tiananmen Square?”

Man. I've never bitten the head off of any live animals before, and he did at least three of them

Yiiiiiikes

He has the perfect explanation at the ready, but somehow "I always talk like an idiot, I can't draw for shit and all my books are ghostwritten because I have no discernible talents outside of putting my name on grifts and annoying people who already hate me" seems like a defense he won't get behind

"Yes she did, and yes it is"

By the time Republican voters notice that they voted for a regime that screwed them over, the GOP will be the minority party (if we have elections again). The GOP will blame everything on the Dems again and GOP voters will believe them because GOP voters consistently trust people who lie to them

Resentment toward imaginary poor freeloaders makes up like 90% of these people’s personalities and 98% of their politics

Everyone gives Trump a free pass for saying shit like this because his relentless narcissism and hacky grifter showmanship necessitate that he hyperbolizes just in case someone stupid might believe him, and this has been a known quantity since, like, 1980. Hegseth does not pull this off

We already know he doesn't understand what Photoshop is, but now here we are having elected him twice and I'm still not entirely sure he can read

Here's another example of using the "scold the stupid child" approach. She reads the law to him, slowly and carefully, and boxes him in to the point that he turns beet red.

This is a funny story because of how it establishes that all around the world, even the most nihilistic ultra-rich freaks are realizing this shit is stupid, wasteful, and unnecessary and Trump is like "the big plane has a couch in it, it's the highest premium leather," www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

Every clip I see from Fox News or any of the business channels is basically a higher-resolution version of this. Probably fine!

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

The Republican Party is more or less built on reactionary opposition to the Democrats policies rather than their own actual policy ideas, and unfortunately the Democrats’ most recent policy was “having a strong economy”

Trump Signs Executive Order Making Official Language Of U.S. Remedial English

There are a lot of valid criticisms to hang on Joe Biden, but "It's Joe Biden's fault that I got caught cheating on my taxes" is not one of them

Welp, the last time there was a big outbreak the Trump administration said that the numbers looked bad but that the biggest problem was that we were doing too many tests, so let's see how this cadre of brainiacs handles this one

My friend--an asshole--would put $5 into the jukebox, punch in $5 worth of Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden on repeat, and leave the bar immediately, just to ruin things for anyone still paying attention. Anyway, that's how I feel about people who show up to the polls, vote Republican, and leave

i think it's super cool that the government is run by the klan right now

I get that pointing it out is important, but I don't understand why anyone in the year of our lord 2025 expects Donald Trump to act or emote or make decisions or show empathy--genuine or disingenuous--like a normal, well-adjusted person. Like expecting a dog to be able to eat with chopsticks

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Always a barn-burner, but this guy and his "fuck kids" platform might be a shoe-in for GOP Ghoul of the Week

I just got three spam calls in 10 minutes. I don't know if there's any connection but the current administration making it 1,000,000% easier for telemarketers to call you *would* be completely on-brand
