If you want to lower violent crime rates, don’t deploy an army. Instead, improve mental health care in this country and increase access to it without stigmas.

Now, I’m no flag burner, but it’s crazy to me that Trump would try to outlaw burning the flag when he’s dumping out gasoline and taking a match to the whole dang country.

Harvard aside, just one time in this terrible second term, I would like to see someone of substance standup to this barely coherent, swollen-ankled, and, per Jeffrey Epstein,“functionally illiterate” lunatic. Unfortunately, folding is better for your bottom line. Capitalism and democracy are broke.
@thetnholler.bsky.social This Executive Order actually creates the deep state. This dude is filling the swamp. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
Either it actually happened or Don will fabricate a “memory” while he freely associates in front of a microphone that he met Joe once in 1987 and asked him, “What keeps you going, Joe?” And Joe turned to him and said, “Well, Mr. Trump, everyday is another wonderful secret.”
Turns out QAnon was never actually that interested in stopping an international human trafficking ring. That’s a twist.
Waiting for all the millions of people who are going to ditch X and sell their Teslas.
Also, unscrupulous bankers? That’s a weird sentiment for the guy who demolished the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He had to have just been complaining about people who refused to loan him money for his steaks or airline or his casinos or something.
Choose reason over rage. Rage leads to the wrong kind of change. And It can be a struggle. I struggle with it every day. Choose reason over rage.
If slave owners had gotten together and hired a marketing consult to help with their “messaging problem” before the Civil War, I’m guessing their corporate suits would have helped them reboot “Slavery” as something much less objectionable and much more aspirational like “Passive Income.”
The damage is so severe that there is no way Democrats could even attempt to begin to undo it without appearing to be “radical.”
It doesn’t matter. Lies and hate were always his platform anyway.
They’ll probably give him $16 million anyway.
And don’t forget, even beyond the internment camps and kidnappings, this administration wants to go after the very notion of citizenship itself. What Trump and Stephen Miller want to do is put a lot more people, people who never even crossed a border, under the jurisdiction of a corrupted ICE.
Anyone ever notice how a lot of toothpastes claim to do wildly different things but their ingredients are all the same? Someone is lying to us.
We are so past any scandal, any Congress, any Supreme Court that would have stopped him. It’s only going to get worse. Anyone this much on the wrong side of history doesn’t plan on ever losing power. Trump will do this and he will do it by August. And he’ll do it with chaos and secret police.
I don’t know much about this Laura Loomer character, like who she is, where she came from, or what her company makes, but I sure do hear her name a lot. The “alligator Alcatraz” people are calling the “functioning healthcare system” people “not serious” and they mean it. God help us.
It is always worth pointing out how unnecessary and cruel this all is. This is not normal. This is cruel. This is unnecessary. We’ve been sold out by people who had the privilege to represent us and for no good reason. They have no moral authority and they have torched their legal authority.
But is it as beautiful a phrase as “Smeller Dior”?
The people who voted for this bill need to own the cruel irony of Trump’s tacky branding. When rural healthcare collapses, the deficit skyrockets, families suffer, and we reach the debt ceiling anyway, Republicans need to be haunted by the words “Big Beautiful Bill” forever. Chuck did them a favor.
Has anyone checked on Mark Cuban lately? I feel like I haven’t seen him around much. I hope he’s doing well.
How exhausting would it be if anytime someone disagreed with him or criticized him, he claimed they were “anti-Islamic”? Who is really playing identity politics these days?
When Pope Leo decried the “presumed right” leaders wield to overpower others without regard to international and humanitarian law, people clapped back and told him to “stick to religion” and keep politics out of it. That’s weird. No one tells congresspeople to keep religion out of their policy.
In addition to convincing young men that Biden wanted to start a bunch of wars and that crypto is cool, the Joe Rogans convinced young men that it’s the Democrats who want to ban books and free speech. We are at the whim of people holding flamethrowers and claim to work for the fire department.
Republicans don’t care about the deficit. Republicans don’t care about a balanced budget. Republicans don’t care about American families and American workers. Republicans want to mortgage the future to do billionaires a favor in the hopes that the billionaires might like them back someday.
I should be able to opt out of hearing about your religion.
Regardless of their politics, I feel like people who don’t accept the obviously disprovable (and even contradictory) ramblings of madmen as fact should have a special greeting for one another instead of “hello.” Maybe: Person 1: The grass is green. The sky is blue. Person 2: And water is wet.
I am too old to just now be figuring out that the press, all of the press, LOVES when the is US is involved in warfare—doesn’t even matter with who or why.
Veering away from the stupid awfulness that is this administration and everything going on around it to the stupid awfulness that is the mundane world us regulars live in: Corporations shouldn’t know my email address and email me twice a day everyday just because I visited their website once.
How insane would it be if America goaded Canada into needlessly invading Panama on its behalf? It would never happen because IT IS INSANE. One plausible explanation: How much Trump coin does an air raid cost?
When Trump inevitably claims that he’s just “cleaning up the terrible mess in Iran (he) inherited from Joe Biden,” the press won’t call him out for the lie and voters will believe him. This is maddening.
One thing I don’t like about this guy: everything. What a thing to say and what a day to say it.
The fact that he even asked should be disqualifying… abcnews.go.com/US/appeals-c...
Not that I want him to get the US involved, but Trump seems to be treating US participation in Iran the same way Bill Belichick handled player availability on his NFL injury reports. The big differences being that Belichick knew what he was doing and also that football isn’t war.
My boss: Two weeks ago, you said you’d have that really important thing done. So, where is that really important thing? Me: I’ll know in two weeks. My boss: You’re fired.
Regarding legacy, best case scenario for @jd-vance-1.bsky.social is that Donald Trump scapegoats him and blackballs him so hard that the two don’t associate, and Vance is relegated to living in obscurity where he gently criticizes Trump from time to time. Being Mike Pence is JD Vance’s ceiling.
Don’t want to jump too far into the future, but if America ever finally rejects Trumpism once and for all, and our country can recover from this, I am going to be super annoyed by anyone who says we were all “overreacting.” Anyway, sorry to all the people who I said were overreacting in 2016.
The media not only accepted but even helped concoct the explanation for why Trump left the G7 Summit early. Yes, Israel-Iran is the current crisis, but Trump may have just gotten tired, especially without all his “yes men.” People need to be asking if Trump has the stamina to be president.
My Thoughts Are Titles Of Future Novels
Joe Rogan and Whitney Cummings convinced voters that Joe Biden was going to draft all the young men for a new, unspecified war because his administration wanted to automate selective service registration. Meanwhile, DOGE probably tried to automate (poorly), and Trump claims only he can stop wars.
Mike Lee, Don Jr, NY Post—It’s hard to believe that anyone can respond to what happened in Minnesota with jokes and lies. Jr. lying through his teeth to push an easily disputed narrative. The media is failing us and the Trumps don’t even think much of their base. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/he-...
100% Anyone who is so willing to so publicly be on the wrong side of history is making his final vision for this country loud and clear. These folks want to rewrite history and rewrite the rules so no one else can come behind them and hold them accountable for it.
It cannot be overstated just how angry this man is at COVID-19 and the 2020 election. He wants revenge on the world, to include America, for the things he thinks dethroned him. We are in the abusive husband phase where Trump makes it so we can never leave him and “if he can’t have us, no one can.”
Watching what appears to be happening in Iran and reminded of how effective Trump was in convincing people that global conflict simply doesn’t happen whenever he is president. Big myth. I don’t know anything about Iran, but I know there are least five things wrong with Trump’s statement below.
Remember that time Zelenskyy went to Pennsylvania to THANK workers at an ammunitions plant and Republicans called it “election interference”? Republicans didn’t seem to notice at all when Noem, as Secretary, went to Poland TO TELL POLISH PEOPLE WHO TO ELECT IN A POLISH ELECTION.
Too high.
This is both heartening and scary. I admire nuanced thought and courage in our military, but if these folks get pulled from their units, the ratio of good actors to bad will help Trump advance his agenda against American cities. If decent people disqualify themselves, it will create a Trump Army.
How do you “liberate” a free city in a free state in a free country? Trump is presenting a grotesque perversion of patriotic talking points to turn the American military against its own people and its own territories. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So, they want the federal police’s faces to be secret and they want the federal police’s names to be secret. Wouldn’t that make them secret police? fox17.com/news/local/b...

Trump appeared to suggest today that his tariffs enacted in April created strong job numbers for March. We all wondered if he knew how tariffs worked, but he may not know how time works. April showers bring May flowers, Don. #Tariffs #stock #crypto
