Trump keeps saying, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Here is one man's response. What do you think?

It's important to show classic social media posts such as this one about how trump said that #NaziMusk would drop to his knees and beg when commanded to do so Let's remember this as we move into 2026 #BoycottTesla #BoycottMusk #Musk #MuskMovie

The most repugnant human currently alive, and that’s saying something.

This is so fucking unacceptable I’m speechless. How do we even recover from this as a country? Our “President” is beating the crap out of our neighbor and ally with a hockey stick. This however, will still not be bottom. Absolutely repulsive. So sorry Canada. He’s the scum of the earth.

Agree with ‘Lil Marco ;)

🧐 Marco Rubio in 2016: “I will make this promise to you today, I will do whatever it takes....Donald Trump, a con artist, will never get control of this party...We cannot allow a con artist to get access to the nuclear codes of the United States of America.”

Well, after a 4-year-long move from Texas to Vermont (work held us up after COVID, and I’m self-employed), I can finally say goodbye to DFW. Two days drive to reminisce over good times and wonderful friends / colleagues - but I just couldn’t bear it any longer. Now to build a new business 🤞

A huge thank you to Major Watson for his dedication to this country and our constitution. If you don’t see this as patriotism, you’re doing it all wrong! #ProudBlue #Pinks

This is the kind of response I enjoy - because I love to learn ◡̈. Thanks for this!!

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fired back after Trump doubled down on his attacks, telling him that his “constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless” Meloni: “My popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”

Thank you Mr. Pelley. They’ll turf you, but you’ll keep the most important attribute in your industry…

Living in a hotel for a month, and there’s a great Korean Market within walking distance! I have no idea what to buy or how to cook it - but I’m committed to shopping nowhere else during my stay. I have enough kimchi, I hope ;)

And….today’s winner of the internet!

Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.

Nirvana once sang, “He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he don’t know what it means” This remains true as The Circle Jerks found out over Memorial Day weekend.

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

I don’t post much personal stuff, but I’m so happy to spend some time in Quebec at a lovely quiet resort for our birthdays. When the world is looking grim, she keeps me grounded - for almost 40 years! #lucky

I wanted lower the world attenuator for a bit this morning. Just my pup and I out for a quiet, cool spring walk in Vermont…and the ticks are unbearable. Does absolutely everything have to be fucked-up??
