You just met! How do you know it's a good creature? Maybe it's a really bad creature that just did some shady shit and it's just going to use you as an alibi.
Trump is going to give Alaska back to Russia, isn't he?

I have long held that he is the Mark Twain of our times. Between "The Word" and his conversation about God with Gervais, it was the only comparison that seemed to fit. I hope he turns to writing. He will be immortalized through those, as yet unwritten, works.
At the time, a line in "Nobody Speak" (@1:20) struck me as weird. "I will flame you faster than Trump fucks his youngest." Given the Sean Combs debacle and the Joy Behar interview, I now think the issue is not mere pedophilia, but incest, too. youtu.be/NUC2EQvdzmY
So, Maxwell caught a 20 year bit for trafficking to nobody?
Pick a Founding Father, or the comparison is null.
What happens when we’re looking elsewhere is as important as what’s happening in the headlines. Have you noticed any other CDC data missing? Let us know! To complement the resources from @statnews.com, here’s the pull of what was available as of Jan. 28 from our archive.
Despite all his bluster about fighting gangs, Trump’s corrupt bargain with Salvadoran Pres. Bukele is doing the opposite — covering up evidence of Bukele’s own dealings with MS-13 and undermining US efforts to fight the gang. Trump makes a big show but the real killers get off.
Glenn Thurmond works for Oasis Ministeies in Winter Haven, FL. She's selling Alligator Alcatraz metch.
Right now in Maryland, there's a mom whose son relies on lifesaving chemotherapy treatments. She told me that if he loses access to his health insurance, it would be a "death sentence." If this bill passes, people will die. Keep calling. Keep fighting. We must stop this bill.
"They hit a target the size of a circle." The size of a circle? You'd think a guy whose whole world is a circle jerk would know how circles work.

George Carlin had his "7 words you can't say on television" routine. Well, now Trump has "7 words you can use in public" based on the journalistic rule of thumb, "If the president says it, you can print it." Shit Shithole Pussy Cunt Goddamn Fuck Motherfucker George would be proud.
Exhibit #327 of why I believe @theonion.com is staffed by time travelers who are trying to warn us without disrupting adjacent timelines.
On a related note, I found this other post truly heartwarming.
You're going topless? Pics, or it didn't happen.
The lettering makes it easy to misread as "Wild Basil & Me." Which, now that I think of it, might not be accidental.
#TACO is so on brand. Putin tugs on the collar and donnie dipshit comes to heel.
Wait til you find one ... not on your head.
There was the Iran-Iraq War. Iraq started it shortly after the 79 revolution. Iran eventually invaded Iraq (unsuccessfully). The mullahs used it to consolidate power. It was a foolish strategy. They used kids to clear the mine fields. Many were as young as 12. More than 30,000 kids died IIRC.
If you ever wonder whether or not we live in a simulation, here's the proof it isn't. A simulation, like all fiction, has to make sense. Reality does not have to obey that constraint in a universe that was not created for us.
Oh, so NOW the mullahs are going to start getting serious?!
You forgot to mention her gold-plated butt plug. She's very proud of it.
Ever notice how geese, who fly a fuck ton of miles, ALWAYS have to WALK across a road? Why? Because they are assholes!
First hit of the day, and it's already a winner.
Fun fact: Based on the evidence, it's clear the talks have been meaningless for over a decade. isis-online.org/isis-reports...
I think Bette Davis summed up my feelings in her inimitable laconic style.
We cannot move on from what happened yesterday. A Senator being roughed up and handcuffed for trying to ask a question is what you see in a DICTATORSHIP. Our country is at a crossroads and we need EVERY American to stand up to defend freedom, democracy and our Constitution.
Lovely! Is this a montage? Or is it a single wide field shot?
I'm going to put up Christmas lights to mark the occasion. Pass it on.
Bukele and Trump are complicit in an illegal scheme to use US taxpayer dollars to ship people to El Salvador in violation of their constitutional rights. Today we introduced sanctions against the Bukele regime to fight this cash-for-collusion deal & assault on our Constitution:
Good morning from Nashville. Kilmar Abrego Garcia heads to a detention hearing this morning in federal court, and I'm covering the proceedings live in court for @AllRiseNews.com In my preview, I focused on his habeas attorneys playing offense in Maryland. www.allrisenews.com/p/garcia-civ...

@riseandresist.bsky.social takes over the lobby of Trump Tower to read the names of the immigrants Trump illegally deported to CECOT prison in El Salvador. All 24 were arrested by the NYPD
Yup.
So....lemme get this straight. The clip starts with the ONLY black guy in the audience DIRECTLY OVER donnie dumphuk's shoulder. Very prominently placed. As the old confederate names come rolling in, he disappears behind donnie's head. Never to be seen again. Cute. That's messed up.

#WhereIsMaria needs to be the question everyone is asking. "Indeed, Defendant Trump stated that I shouldn't ever say anything if I didn't want to disappear like Maria, a 12-year-old female that was forced to be involved in the third incident with Defendant Trump and that I had not seen since."
In 1912, a Black man was lynched before thousands—then shot full of bullets. Days later, two Black teens were hanged. Forsyth County forced out every Black resident. They erased the truth. 📖 ERASED tells the truth they tried to bury. Read it. Share it. Never forget: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Trump’s dream of a deportation machine is a nightmare reality. 18-year-old honors student Marcelo is one of many examples. This administration is detaining high school volleyball players. ICE should be going after terrorists, human smugglers, and drug traffickers. Let’s be serious.
Actually,I think the clock started over Easter weekend. Van Hollen came back from El Salvador and swept the Sunday shows unopposed. Something snapped. People saw standing up to the bully works. Since then, it's all been downhill for Don TACO.

Bear witness to the ritualistic “laying of the chains” that precedes the arrival of ICE’s human cargo. 👀
This SeeStar thing is revolutionary! It looks like it gives you great images at 1/10 the cost on equipment while doing all the processing for you! Is that correct?
"Since the 1990s, 80% of the Eastern Monarch butterfly populations have dropped as a result of the loss of milkweed and climate change." We're calling for the protection of these important pollinators under the Endangered Species Act. Add your voice: fwwat.ch/4cI64XO
This is dire and ominous.. "A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides" www.theguardian.com/environment/...
"Courage is contagious."
NEW: In the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, Judge Xinis grants the plaintiff’s request to file a motion for sanctions. Motion due June 11.
This is a time when we need courage. Courage to stand up and be peaceful but loud. Make your voice heard...but not cross into violence. This is a time when your fears are real but you can't let them hold you back. Way too many people in positions of power are self muting. I'm not one of them.
So… Abrego Garcia… still down there huh?
Do different lampshades signify something important you want to share? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Nah. I'm just having fun. It's been a long time since I last used this meme.
Where is today's Barry Goldwater? Republicans need to step the fuck up and remove this lunatic. He isn't fit to serve breakfast at Denny's
Flood the line.
Ok. There's no need to yell. Does Malyuk look like he needs to yell? Too bad we can't do polls here. Who is scarier? □ Malyuk □ Budanov □ The dog □ All of the above.
Love it!

"More people are gonna die..."FTFY When people hear "Robert Kennedy" they will assume you're talking about a lunatic. For generations. Robert Kennedy has so tarnished the name Robert Kennedy that the legacy Robert Kennedy leaves behind now means Robert Kennedy died in vain.

It would have been cool if they could show the south polar region with the geysers.
Amanda Cahill died in her cell in a Philly jail. Screaming for help for over an hour. Women jailed near her pleaded for medical attention, but nobody responded. Philly voters just approved a ballot measure to bolster oversight over the city’s deadly jails.
Grateful for these brilliant scientists brave enough to sign this Open Letter calling out 5/23/2025 Trump Admin EO, “Restoring Gold Standard Science” which will undermine scientific rigor and the transparent progress of science. Pass along this Open Letter www.standupforscience.net/open-letter-...
250 years ago, Americans made it clear that we weren’t going to be ruled by kings. In 18 days, we’re taking to the streets again to reject Trump’s authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. We hope to see you on June 14 for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
I'm looking forward to the results!

Anyone ever bother to ask, "Why inbreeding?"
Oooooohhhhh M23 rebels....I was wondering why Johann Rupert sounded confused about MS-13. So they knew he was fucking with them. They just didn't start shit over him lying to their faces in the Oval Office.
These aren't agents. No uniforms. No badges. They're thugs.
I don't know why it took me so long to realize you didn't have a pet mouse who got frustrated with a dust ball that you eventually fixed by taking it apart.
