Boykin: The Republicans control the entire government. They control the white house. They control the house. They control the senate. They control six of the nine seats on the supreme court. If you're not happy with the way the country is running America, blame the Republicans.

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

On the lam/on the lamb

SKY NEWS: “Trump says you’re a gift to the Republican Party.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social: “I’m a gift to the state of Michigan, God-willing.” SKY NEWS: “He says you’re full of shit.” ABDUL: “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.” 🔥 🔥 👀

This was his post and I don’t want to hear any lectures from those MAGA dirtbags on decorum….

The man who thinks you should inject yourself with bleach has thoughts on Gavin Newsom’s intelligence.

every Fox News live shot from Trump's fair is hilarious. I've seen more people gathered around our neighborhood Little Free Libraries

UPDATE: Wired has picked up the story. www.wired.com/story/leak-e...

Steve Hilton, a Republican from Britain who is running for California governor, was a public champion of Brexit. Has one reporter asked him about his support for this massive failure of a policy, and how it reflects on his political judgement? Not that I could find.

I didn’t know Greenland had entered a teen beauty pageant.

NESTERAK: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who have stolen hundreds of millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy? McDONALD: I'll take a different question

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

I'm still furious that Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg launched this war against Iran.

Somber scenes from the White House, just kidding they are all standing around with a shit eating grins, smiling and laughing after a “successful” psyop.
