I'm beginning to think Donald J. Trump isn't a very good negotiator. Art of the surreal.

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." –George Orwell

"[What] JD Vance is 'proudest of' is cutting off US assistance to Ukraine." It seems inevitable that this dumpster fire of a presidency is supported by this dumpster fire of a vice presidency. I'm all for schadenfreude, but not when our nation's reputation is involved.

Nothing against realtors, but maybe the diplomatic corps - at least any that are left after the Musk firings - take over Iranian negotiations?

The first time I saw this view, I was 12 years old. Still here!

Will one of you Trump toads tell him to stop saying excursion when he talks about war in Iran? It's INCURSION. What an embarrassment.

Today we are spending $1,000,000,000 a day in Iran. In 6 months it will exceed what we've provided to Ukraine for the past 4 years - about $180,000,000,000. Just a friendly reminder, that Ukraine still lives under unprovoked assault from Russia. 🤔

Just a friendly reminder, Ukraine suffers still.

Dear Mr. President, please stop wearing those ridiculous caps that look like beanies that make you look like a silly child.

The playbook: As legacy news is consolidated by the richest Americans, editorial independence gets weakened following instructions from the White House. It's how every coup goes, get the print/tv/radio stations and you shape opinion.

@USPSHelp The site won't let me reset my account. I've tried every link on your support site, except obviously the right one. Please HELP

In case you're not able to see Colbert's interview with James Talerico, which the FCC and CBS forced to not air, here you go. And no, I am not a Texas voter, but I am an American, and I believe in the 1st Amendment. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Why does MAGA hate the planet? I'm just asking for Earth.

The Nixon White House conspired to dismantle politics by politics. That was bad. The Trump white House is conspiring to dismantle America through $elf-dealing and corruption. Oh the good-old bad days of Watergate seem so quaint. Yeah, you should be concerned. This is worse.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” — H.L. Mencken.

I was 13 years old during Watergate. Now at 65, I again can't trust our government.

Wow, Pam Bondi is a disaster!

The administration's killings of "drug traffickers" continues and now claimed 130 lives. Don't we want hard evidence before we execute people? Asking for a friend.

My DirecTV has been out for 5 days. Finally a tech was assigned. He called and said he's not coming because he couldn't find a place to park. WHAT!!?? Unbelievable.

I can't believe our nation's capital does not have reliable daily newspaper. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Penny the Doberman pinscher, like other winners, forfeited their prize and gave it to Donald Trump. He's now best dog.

I am so tired of hearing any, and all things, Jeffrey Epstein. But this travesty must get resolved! It's enough.

Cool beans! JJ, the Lhasa Apso that won Best In Show at AKC last month just gave their award (and medal) to Trump! He's a winner (and a whiner.)

We have a feckless Congress and a reckless President. Good combo!

The NYT (still the newspaper of record) reports "House Slumped to Historic Lows of Productivity in 2025" Who needs governing? We don't need no stinkin' governing!

Our Airbnb guest just cancelled, writing "Due to the political situation in [the] USA. Our event has been moved to Canada." This is the first of, hopefully, no more.

In case you missed this update …

JD Vance, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller are the Unholy Trinity. Trump is an anal sphincter, but they are evil.

So, asking for a friend, what is a professional agitator? Who pays you? How do you become one and go pro?

That Tom Homan is the voice of reason in the Administration, tells us all we need to know about this Administration and the Minneapolis tragedy. They do not care.

The most literate Democrat.

"Unrestrained." I think that should be the word of the year. Maybe the next three years.

Pete Hegseth. Wtf.

Snatching the bad guy is the easy part. substack.com/redirect/e2d...

Why is Marco Rubio this morning such a whiner?

Trump wants a third of the globe. That gives China a third, and gives Russia a third. Donroe. Ugh.

OK for what it's worth (which is nothing,) I am CBS News curious. I'll give them a shot.

"You have to take the public to war before you take the army to war." unless you're Trump or a host of other clowns! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyeK...

I am not a fan of our President, Donald Trump. But, it is in everyone's best interest that a President succeeds, even if he's a jerk with twisted values. However, man he's looking old and tired.

I always considered "Duck Soup" the best Marx Brothers comedy - the most full throttled lunacy - but seeing "Horsefeathers" for the first time in years I'm ready to reassess. I laughed out loud.
