They’re totally going to do this.
Patrick Henry expressed concern that the President “may easily become king,” James Madison replied that this would not occur because “[t]he purse is in the hands of the representatives of the people.” Full Henry quote on "you Senate" below: teachingamericanhistory.org/document/pat...
I was waiting to get on the elevator at the hotel I’m at and there were two boys, maybe 3 and 6yrs old, holding bananas going “Boom! boom!” “Braaaap Braaap” as they were pointing them at each other and pretending they were guns. Our American culture is obsessed with guns. #itstheguns
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
They should stop by 1600 Pennsylvania Ave next. There’s some gold garbage hanging all over the Oval Office.
Turkey is the cautionary tale. Erdogan swapped economists for loyalists and forced low rates. Result: inflation peaked at 86%, still painfully high. That’s the movie you don’t want a sequel to. Posting the full interview over on my fledgling youtube channel: youtu.be/faKG7dtmxtU
It’s the guns.
Is this the monthly cabinet circle jerk?
Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.
Trump fires Lisa Cook in an unprecedented move, and immediately the US dollar sinks against the Yen (in red), the Euro (teal), and the British Pound (purple). Stocks are also sorting it out, but down around a quarter point. Point is: Markets don't think this is move helps American business.
Whenever he says he’s not something, it turns out in fact that he is that thing.
Wasn't his entire claim that he didn't incite the violence on Jan 6? he just was just talking...
this seems like their entire point. get it sent to the current court and have the court say this EO is ok. regardless of what previous courts have said. seems to be working pretty regularly for him.
Q: "You called Kamala Harris a communist. But the Biden-Harris administration never called for nationalizing a private company like you're doing to Intel...Is this the new way of industrial policy?" Trump: "Ya. Sure it is. I wanna try to get as much as I can."
Turnip doesn't have friends. He only has bootlickers who want something from him
“Dear Leader” banner at Dept of Labor.
Kristi Noem and her squad of geniuses are painting the American side of the wall black—apparently to keep us from escaping.
And the people who work there!
It’s terrible the country we have become under Dictator Trump. As Americans, we used to not tolerate this stuff, anywhere in the world.
Fuck this guy. I’m not sure I can take it another 3.5yrs.
Megalomaniacs
All of this, ALL OF IT, is to distract from the Epstein files. All of it.
If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.
They got a good deal on gold spray paint at Hobby Lobby.
She should refuse. We don’t live in a police state, or at least we used to not…
Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C. www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
SCOOP The White House said EJ Antoni—Trump's pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics—went to the Capitol on Jan 6th after seeing it on the news But a now-deleted Twitter account bearing his name shows someone deeply enmeshed in far-right election conspiracies www.wired.com/story/twitte...
Not ‘now blames’ it’s should be ‘always blames’
Life comes at you fast
When your alarm goes off on a Monday morning and you already know this work week is going to suck.
Hurricane hunters fly into the eye of Hurricane Erin.
They aren’t wearing masks covering their faces, this can’t possibly be real.
As spoken by the man who MAILS IN HIS VOTES!
Also requires video cameras to be accessible by the alarm management company to determine if someone is in the elevator car and incapacitated. They’d be able to see if someone was in the car and not responding to audible or text alerts.
So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?
The two way communication in the elevator is code required in many jurisdictions now. Although usually they just make another button on screen also count as yes/no. It’s ‘supposed’ to cut down on having to roll emerg crews for every elevator alarm. They can very real emeg before rolling trucks.
Which one was supposed to give the reach around to the other?
He might need to release the Epstein files to distract from the Russia summit
Couldn’t he just lock his doors?
ICE attacked US citizen Andrea Velez, slamming her to the ground No probable cause, no warrant and-while they claim no racial profiling-it seems clear why they did it Then they arrested her to cover it up Throwing her in a cell without even a glass of water Unsurprisingly she's not the only one
So you’re saying there wasn’t rampant government fraud and abuse? Shocking.
Hi Friends, I wrote and performed this set last night in Cleveland. It went well, so the team fast tracked it in enough time to release tonight. See you in 45 mins on YouTube 💐 youtu.be/eRnEp0onnoo?...
National Guard deployed to protect the Epstein Files.
So Donald Trump is going to send the national guard to Washington DC today when the people of DC don’t need them, after refusing to deploy them on January 6, when the people of Washington DC did.
AIR QUALITY ALERT! Explosion and fire at Clairton Coke Works this morning 10:46 am. Pictures and Breathe Cam footage looks like smoke and fire. Police scanners reporting 2 injured. share.createlab.org/... @KDKA @WPXI @WTAE @wtae4.bsky.social
Breathecam inadvertantly captured the explosion. Event at approx 2025-08-11, 10:47. (Be gentle with their poor servers, they'll likely be getting hammered by the Internet soon).
Explosion at a US Steel coking plant near Pittsburgh has left people trapped under the rubble.

He’s the worst in pretty much every single conceivable category, including Interior Design.
This Boston suburb banned gas hookups in new construction — and it’s still building affordable new homes.
Pretty sad that it’s taken this long.
Exclusive: The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.
It seems that Tim Apple is taking the company in a different direction.
I'm pretty sure riding in the back of a moving truck without seat belts or a proper seat is illegal.
out of all the companies, I thought Apple might be one that wouldn't bow in advance to the wanna-be king Trump. I guess I was wrong.
"Every person — whether they’re a U.S. citizen, are visiting for the week, or are here on a student visa — has free speech rights in this country."
the simple, unavoidable, ugly truth is that AI companies are killing the media industry: they're destroying the revenue streams of news, of publishers, of nonfiction titles - and this loss will impoverish the world and their own products www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
The most corrupt White House in history. Here is an account of what people are paying, directly to a PAC called MAGA Inc, in order to meet the president, get pardons, change policy www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...
…still trying to survive the second one…
Trump spelled backwards is Pedophile.
Hahahahaha… that’s rich right there hahahahaha….. pot, meet kettle.
No.
When you’ve got too much on your plate for today and just don’t even want to start…
Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles
Only some fear? I’m betting it’s more than just ‘some’
The Justice Department has the Epstein files. Right now. Everything they’re doing now is a distraction. Just RELEASE THEM.
Wrf is he even talking about? Because 747’s in the US aren’t lined with his gold bullshit?
So, you’re saying that’s a no. Got it.
Somehow Vought isn’t concerned about all the other fiscal mismanagement by the White House.
Race money straight to his benefit - like most everything in his presidency.
That’s a funny one, as if we don’t subsidize all the rest of the energy sources…
What an absolutely fucking disgrace of a human being.
“He’s not involved in the global child trafficking ring. The lady in charge of the global child trafficking ring said so, and why would she lie about the guy who pardoned her for her role in the global child trafficking ring?”
“.. Then, of course, it has to be stuffed with the luxuries — and gold trim — with which the 47th president surrounds himself ..” 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...
Oscar is a better driver. All around. The consistent, wholly better driver. Lando is good no doubt. And fast, but not consistent lap after lap
New hat just dropped.
Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia. Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.
Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas
Why is it private aid groups and not world governments showing up with food aid, it’s not like we don’t know where or how to get food aid to them. Tell Israel to go F themselves and start pushing our way in to provide food. I mean I know why the US won’t, but why aren’t other countries?
every republican
Congress, taking on the hard hitting issues that Americans need…
Josh Johnson with the wisdom. Take a listen.
The gestapo.
No, the real problem is that there are plenty of people who WILL believe it, even though it’s complete and utterly false.
We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.
Paul Manafort: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. George Papadopolous: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Mike Flynn: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Roger Stone: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump. Next up, Ghislaine Maxwell.
NEW -- Donald Trump is on his way to Scotland to promote a new course at one of his golf resorts. American taxpayers are footing the $9.7 million -- at least -- travel and security bill so that he can make more money at his family business. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
I think @keithedwards.bsky.social nails it here, with the next step being Republicans like MTG and Burchett rallying around Trump for "exposing the Democrats."
it should be a huge scandal that Trump is going to scotland to open his new golf course on the taxpayer dime - yet here we are just another friday
“Just magically appears out of my pocket. Everyone ignore the fact that I’m fudging the numbers…” Trump
I can think of 2 times when leading U.S. officials fled Washington in a panic: August 1814: British forces briefly capture the capital and set fire to government buildings. July 2025: Republicans fear they'll have to vote on the Epstein files, so they adjourn early and run for the hills.
Speaker Johnson shuts down House early to avoid voting on the Epstein files. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/the-immora...
I’m guessing many won’t - or only after a very long time….
They forgot the napalm. 🔥
For some reason, the Repubs just keep lining up to see who can blow the president the most. - seriously? Naming the opera house after Melania? Give me a fawking break.
So Barack Obama rigged the 2016 election for His Magasty to win, but the 2020 election for Biden to win, but only the presidency, not any important House or Senate seats that Dems lost, and then the Dems just decided not to rig 2024. Gotcha.
