Proving that in modern society, bullshit is worth far more than oil, steel, railroads and even real estate!

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

This gibbering moron's political rhetoric is a fourth-grader standing at the edge of an elementary school blacktop yelling the first shard of juvenilia that floats into his head. And he is the President of the United States. We are so debased before the world.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Has the near-death experience of the last two years made it possible for politicians of ANY stripe to stop chasing $ and fix what's wrong? We may be about to find out.

bring back shame

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

The Republican Party has all the values and tactics of a white supremacist prison gang and maybe it's time to stop normalizing them as if they were a modern functioning political party

OK, we'll pretend to be distracted for 5 minutes.

Preview of Coming Disasters.

Donald Trump isn't just the worst person to become president; he's the worst person to become famous.

As their favored party appears to be headed towards a historic wipeout, the press retreats to their happy place.

VANCE: “No evidence the Trump family has enriched themselves”🤔🙃 REALITY: No evidence they’ve done anything BUT enrich themselves

Americans have now cumulatively spent $138.8 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1st. That's roughly the same as buying 337,897 homes at the median US home price of $410,700 each, housing a population of 845,000-860,000 people- similar to Indianapolis, IN.

So she's either a hopelessly gullible rube or a liar. Take your pick. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Invasion, mass murder, rape, kidnapping of children - all fine

How about your fair fucking share of taxes and stop trying to fool the rest of us by sweeping the crumbs off your table.

Newsom: "Trump is ruthless. I'm sorry -- we need to be a little more ruthless. And if you think I'm exaggerating, I woke up this morning & read Trump wants to arrest me. He said on Truth Social. He's not screwing around. He's trying to quite literally rig the election again today in the state of CA"

Remember when Howard Dean was considered too nuts to be president?

So we are clear, "Russia Russia Russia" was *never* a hoax.

promise?

every moment Trump is out in public these days is like an SNL cold open. This is happening right now

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: In Bizarre and Unprecedented Ramble, President of the United States Tells Fans That If They Have a Medical Emergency at One of His Rallies He Will Let Them Die 25th. Now.

Not The Onion!

Given the competition, it’s pretty impressive that Trump has somehow managed to hire his worst ever press secretary. Katie Zacharia is a fake lawyer, can barely read aloud, and has zero personality at the podium. The bar is so low it’s in hell.

There is no bottom, chapter MMMXCVI.

“Christian” pastors cheering on public executions when the whole Christian faith is based on the abhorrence of the gruesomeness of a public execution shows how far Christian Nationalism is off the rails.

🇺🇦👇🏼

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

There isn't one to change.

The current White House Press Secretary is an insane liar. Change my mind.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

We went from $200 million and you will pay for absolutely none of it to $600 million *at a bare minimum* and you will pay for almost all of it No president has ever stolen more money from the American people

Our so-called leaders have prostituted us to the Russians. Destroyed our culture. Our economies. Our honor. Our blood has been spilled on our soil. Our blood on their hands. They are the invaders.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Precisely correct. He'll treat a dirtbag like a dirtbag and that's incredibly attractive at this point in history.

I guess I’m in the minority for focusing on how Trump’s oil deal helps Putin while most are focused on how little it helps US oil/diesel prices.

@maddow.bsky.social, you don't know me, and I know it's a big ask, but could you please sue these people? Thanks!
