Trump is and always was an opportunistic coward. It isn't really talked about in it's full context, but not only did he and his dad procure his 5 deferments to avoid military service in Vietnam by renting a crooked podiatrist, he then--once safe from being sent to war and real danger--came out and 1

High cost of existing? Who cares?? You're getting a big bad ballroom, a granite helipad, a green reflecting pool that won't, and a crazy grandpa who rants and stands weirdly!!!
Trump, clearly feeling low on attention today, is outside the White House ranting and raving like a lunatic about his various vanity projects around the White House
All of this *waves arms furiously* absolutely all of it is the 'prosperity gospel' model. It's everywhere today. Politics and science both. "Send your money in now and you'll be rich down the road." Everyone in charge and most of the oligarchs are just Benny Hinns and Creflo Dollars with power. 🤦♂️
HANNITY: Elon Musk talked about Americans not even needing to save for your retirement like we have historically because of the abundance AI will create. Do you believe that? BESSENT: I do, but I think I would change the timeline. Elon is so far ahead of the curve
Trump voters, y'all put these morons in charge, and I will not live nearly long enough to forgive your ignorance and carelessness.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"
The 1st trillionaire, who directed the destruction of USAID, which has resulted in the dooming and eventual deaths of a hundred thousand children. Just look at what we've built. 🤦♂️💔
To be very precise, on top of being a useless conman, he is one of the biggest mass-murders in history, a genocideer on par with any of history's other monsters.
This is Nazi ideology, full stop. I mourn the country I once thought we were building.
Kilmeade to an agreeing Markwayne Mullin: "In Belfast they're standing up because their leaders have let them down. They're trying to take their country back. They want to label them as racist. All they want to be is Irish. They want Ireland back. I see a lot of the same fights here."

I left for this and other reasons. I was brigaded on Twitter; they tried to get me fired, established new accounts that claimed I was a 'pedo.' None of the harassment was deemed a violation of their terms of service. It was not 'more fun.' At all.
And yeah, as a reward for being on Twitter, I received death threats, racist voicemails, a lawsuit and a campaign to have me fired from my job. It's a real mystery why I don't think Twitter is "more fun"

Agreed. That's my point. It's not a 'benign' condition. We voters have a duty to choose to include competence and ability to do the job as factors in our decision-making. I oppose her on numerous grounds, and I also wouldn't be willing to gamble on her continued good health for 6 more years.
Sorry. Her medical condition is zero excuse for her stay in office. It's time to go. Same for old man Grassly.
Happy Mothers Day mom. ❤️🙏 She is gone now, but my brother and I lived great and productive lives thanks to her. She packed up a suitcase and grabbed her two boys--10 and 8 yo--and left our abusive, alcoholic father in 1964. It was not common then, and we were too young to grasp the courage it took.
She demanded a checking account of her own at the bank, had to be flirty to get one. She had no skills, but knew what work was, found it, and fed and clothed us in such a way that nobody would know we were poor. My brother and I attained college degrees. She was, and still is, the hero of our lives.
Do you not remember hanging the Medal of Freedom on a foul-smelling Rush Limbaugh yourself? Shut up you useless bitch!

Wealthy ranchers are destroying our public lands, and ofc Trump is moving quickly to make it worse.
The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers. Wealthy ranchers are profiting — at the expense of taxpayers. (Published Dec. 2025 with @highcountrynews.org)
'But the Civil War was not about slavery, it was about states' rights!' Umm, a state's right to do what? Imagine this pile of genetic trash 👇 wanting to establish a new country based on a hierarchy of race. 🤦♂️
In his 1861 Cornerstone Speech announcing the Confederate Constitution, Confederate Vice President Alexander Hamilton Stephens said that the Confederate Constitution made “great improvements" upon the U.S. one by recognizing that enslavement of Africans was "natural and normal." buff.ly/1JqEwko
Grotesque. This is how the middle class has been hollowed out. And it gets worse, every single year, it just gets worse.
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
Welp, I guess the message for Fox viewers here is that they just aren't f*cking enough kids anymore. 👇
Fox News doc on lower fertility rate: "The problem is teens and young adults, from ages 15-19 the fertility rate is down 7%, and it's down 70% over the last two decades, meaning we're telling people that are young not have babies, to wait until they're in a more stable life situation"
