Commercials for the military have always been pretty dumb. I'm impressed that the Hegseth led department of Defense has managed to make those commercials even dumber.

The American president is a racist piece of shit.

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Jesus Christ, his brain is just warm pudding now.

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

Jesus, this fucking nutjob. He's really capable is anything, right now.

asked about gas prices, Trump says "if you want to see turmoil and a travesty, let them take out a city with a nuclear weapon ... let them hit us with a nuclear weapon"

I love when you check out a hotel and you tell the lady at the front desk about a couple issues with the room or the hotel, and you can tell that she doesn't give a fuck.

All the fake outrage from the right over Benghazi and they are dead silent on this.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Everyone should look at the haunting photos of bombed out US bases hit by Iran that were leaked by service-members. They are Trump's "American carnage." On the pod @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social is so good on the war, US decline, and Trump/Hegseth's imploding fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2155...

For the rest of this term, anytime the Trump family does something illegal this guy is just going to say he doesn't know anything about it and why are you bothering him.

Q: Was it appropriate for POTUS' son to accept a gift from a friend of Putin? Will you investigate? BLANCHE: The president doesn't know who this person is. Other members of the family don't know who this person is. The president's son has said he's a very close friend. So am I investigating what?

It's incredible, when you look at the Guardian app, how many problems nationwide and worldwide are being caused by one idiot fuck.

The scandal isn’t that Putin has a pee-tape. The scandal is that the president wants to turn the U.S. into Putin’s Russia: a gangster state run by criminals who loot the people and follow no law.

I know it's a first world problem, but it drives me crazy when renovated hotel rooms have multiple power strips and half of them don't work.

Occasionally I wonder if the lack of general outrage is a function of people subconsciously assuming that this was the case all along.

The problem with people is, there's a god shaped hole in our heads where we want Something Important to live, and we insist on filling it with *something*, which might be god or king or astrology or jumped-up autocorrect.

Will our economy survive two more years of this fucking idiot?

Trump says the US would “save” $90 billion by cutting off trade with Canada 🥴

One of my ambitions is to be able to afford a Bill Brandt original. He was such an amazing photographer. The Blackout series from the Blitz are just phenomenal.

The Secretary of Defense is a hateful piece is shit. Fuck this guy forever. I hope prison is in his future.

CNN@cnn.com

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a transphobic slur while speaking at the Iowa State Fair Monday, where he appeared in support of Republican Rep. Zach Nunn, who is running for a third term in Congress.

Seems like the advantage Iran has over the U.S. is that Iranian leaders are listening to their military and intelligence experts while the U.S. is following the whims of Crazy Grandpa.

The time between Flock cameras showing up everywhere and news stories about police officers misusing the technology was unsurprisingly short.

That's what I'm talkng about. Take the fight to these fuckers. This is what lame centrists like Schumer can't do. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

Does this idiot have nothing better to do than design? Just Christ.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Now we have a big decision to make. Do we take the pavers that are red -- the red, brick pavers -- and do we change them into a granite?"

Just makes up crazy bullshit and no one says anything. What the fuck.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

This crazy fuck needs to shut the fuck up.

RFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃

This fuckstick has been in national politics for 12 years and still has no healthcare plan.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We will pass the great healthcare plan. That's what it's called. The great healthcare plan."

Same bullshit we heard from the right during the Iraq War: any criticism of leadership is an attack on the troops. It was bullshit then and now.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

😳 Hegseth snaps at Peters: "Your characterization of this incredible effort as a failure if reckless and irresponsible and smear the sacrifice of the troops. Shame on you." Peters responds: "You, sir, are the failure!"

Jesus fucking Christ. These fuckers really are going to destroy what's left of our government.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis dramatically says "I don't know" when asked by Fox News if Ossoff and Warnock were duty elected

This lying scumbag is going to attempt to steal the midterms.

Trump on his Thursday speech: "It's really big news. It's really big news. Our country has to shape up. What we're gonna be talking about Thursday -- it doesn't get bigger, because without free and fair elections you don't have a country."

honestly, to a lot of us southern Millennials who were raised in Christian church, this is some darkly funny stuff. despite their best efforts, wall-to-wall conservative evangelical Bible study didn't turn us kids into lifelong vectors for their bullshit back then. and it won't do it now, either.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Texas is set to pass what may be the first state-mandated book list for public school students. It includes Bible excerpts, which critics argue violates separation of church and state.

The racists are feeling really comfortable now.

Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

Trump and Musk are mass murders.

Lauren Dobson-Hughes@ldobsonhughes.bsky.social

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
