My daughter is a senior in HS and for a while I’ve thought she would do well in the CIA. She actually seemed interested, but recently said there is no way she would join during this administration or anything like it. Don’t blame her one bit.

Trump, Hitler, Mao & Castro, oh my! This kind of propagabda bullshit is full-on autocratic dictator extremism It's happening folks!
So do oil rigs not kill fish/whales?
That he thinks this is what he should be spending his time (@ 2 am!!) doing as POTUS is ridiculous on its face. At the same time he is the head of the "smaller government, stay out of our business" party.
It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.
That's the only thing he would wish for? Is his job mostly about ending the war in Ukraine? I would think he might wish for that.
I can't watch this stuff on tv... it feels like either a bad show or more likely the US accelerating deeper into authoritarianism. But did any reporter ask "What the hell are you talking about?"
Speechless.
TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸
At what point in 1930s Germany did Hitler get showered with gifts from citizens, the wealthy and industry?
Is anyone tracking how often trump learns of fairly major events from reporters' questions?
Trump wants to lock up people who desecrate the flag. Here he is violating the flag code by signing his name on it with a marker.
By crackdown on homelessness, he doesn’t mean fix the homeless issue. He just means get rid of the homeless people. That isn’t cracking down on homelessness.
Just imagine if he treated allies the way he treats adversaries and vice versa.
Only the best people… www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...
An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.
Massive flag in support of Ukraine unveiled in Alaska. "Alaska Stands With Ukraine." #3E #StandWithUkraine #AlaskaWithUkraine
Is that FJB on the cuff of the person behind him??
Ok, who was standing behind trump today in the oval office with FJB written on their cuffs? I don't think I imagined that.
I get the sense this "strong market" right now is just some sort of paper tiger. What I think is bad news and would typically drive the markets lower, seems to have the opposite effect. What are your thoughts?
"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."
Raise your hand and tell us in the comments if you think you know why it’s costing $200 mm for a ballroom add to the WH. Let’s get this flying around Bluesky & see how creative f47 is by the answers our fellow 🦋 give
Virtually zero legacy media coverage of this statement. A couple of stories, that’s about it. The lies and insane statements have become completely normalized and are largely ignored now by Big Media.
What happens when Europeans boycott American products that they now have access to?
So they are going to spend all of money to make it AF1 (refueling, secure comms, nuclear protection) over the next 3 years, then he leaves office and flies around in with all of this equipment for no reason?
How does his cell phone work when it isn’t plugged in?
What about the families of the assassinated reps in MN?
How is anyone ok with this? What does the most MAGA person in the country get out of this vacation that we paid for?
So he knew and didn't report it to the authorities? Is that an accomplice or just complicit?
Just think- in any ordinary presidency, this would be enough for an inquiry and people would be calling for impeachment.
Plausible that he’s lying, but this seems like something that someone should have noticed.
Trump’s Caddie magically drops a ball for him not in the deep stuff ⛳️
No talent??
Any Raleigh area folks want to vote in a WRAL poll about the Washington Commander’s? www.WRAL.com/yourvoice
I found a new video of the event, would like feedback on how this was handled by people who might know... #revolution2025
Seems like a coverup would be easy if only a few people were involved. If half of congress is taking part or at least complicit, I would bet eventually someone will slip up.
Where’s the doctor who “treated Trump’s ear” so miraculously? That one committed fraud, too.
This seems like the only case of actual fraud I’ve heard in the last several months of weeding out fraud, waste and abuse. But, I guess it’s ok??
The flood wasn’t political. Why the county was so unprepared and people died… that was entirely political.
Every Republican who goes on the Sunday shows tomorrow should be pressed to denounce this illegal and authoritarian proclamation from the president. And none of this "I didn't read the tweet" bullshit.
👇🏽
“Winners talk about solutions”… to what? Everything that went great?
It seems like the questions being brought up to the administration is about the manning. Didn't NOAA lose access to tools and technology to help with forecasting? Isn't that the bigger issue?
A US Senator thought July 4th was a good time to go on a European Vacation?? America's birthday?
Trump said during the campaign he “knew exactly what to say to Putin” in one phone call to get him to end the war. He said he was going to do it his first day in office and the war would be over in 24 hours. But here we are. bsky.app/profile/atru...
The DOJ is hiring Jan 6th rioters. Silence is not an option folks. Never again lasted a couple of generations, but it is back!
This is why they didn’t want him back: He is a witness.
Explain the Big Ugly budget bill to me like I’m five… Seriously, this demo is a must see—anyone can understand it. Share it with family and friends. #VoteNo
There are no good Republicans. They are all awful selfish people.

Is anyone else seeing a lot of cat pics recently??
Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...
House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov delivers opening remarks in the full committee hearing with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at today's full committee hearing on the the Fiscal Year 2026 Department of Defense Budget. Watch it here ⬇️ youtu.be/J-JhZFPNuBE
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I get the impetus for the protests and I think they are righteous. However, djt has hatched this plan to escalate it into something the protesters didn't intend and the resistance plays right into his hands. Seems like just leaving the streets removes his desired storyline. Anyone else see that?
BREAKING NEWS: a clearly physically impaired Trump struggles to ascend Air Force One big stairs! What are they hiding about the President’s health?
He is living as if he is in a sci-fi movie
Total cringe
I thought we were supposed to be getting rid of fraudsters
This old paw paw is Senile
Trump has time to host a dinner for the rich crypto guys who bought his memecoin, but not to shake hands with West Point graduates. Priorities.
Here is the official Harvard University website! www.harvard.edu Here is their # if you'd like to speak to someone there!! +1 617-495-1000 The link to the Free Government courses is ... pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...
So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!
My daughter bought a donut a couple days ago… and got a receipt for it.
NEW: The White House has removed official transcripts of President Donald Trump’s public remarks from its government website, replacing them with selected videos of his public appearances. The only transcript appearing now is of Trump’s inaugural address.
The current President, Donald Trump, walked into a wall yesterday when he was leaving the Capitol after speaking to the press with House Majority Leader Mike Johnson. If we're going to bring up Biden's ability while in office, let's not leave Trump out.
Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"
Whiny. Little. B!tch
Rep. Jim Himes: “Absent evidence to justify the firings, the workforce can only conclude that their jobs are contingent on producing analysis that is aligned with the President’s agenda, rather than truthful and apolitical.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
In a fiery moment on the House floor, Rep. Tom Suozzi just tore into the GOP’s reconciliation package—exposing contradiction after contradiction. If you watch one clip today, make it this. 🎯🔥
Seems like she finally realized her job isn’t just cosplay
WATCH: Chris Murphy gives a masterclass in how to dismantle the cosplay queen, AKA Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
I think he needs to explain who he means by “we”.
Anyone else think Scott Bessent looks like Will Farrell imitating George W Bush?
What happened to the “none of these wars would ever happen if I were President” routine?
Now they don’t even know what the word “knowledgeable” means??
Can we agree social media is the worst thing to happen to politics maybe ever? A tool that can be used for mass distribution of helpful information has turned into lies, distractions, and cyber bullying by the people citizens should trust to at the very least not do any of that.
Is there any pushback on the other place where she posted this or is it just a bunch of high 5s?
Is this how they teach kids to love America?
Why would you need to be taught to love something? If it treats you well, is fair, and shows you compassion I think you would naturally love it. I didn’t teach my kids to love our dog. My wife and I didn’t teach each other to love one another. Really concerned about his home life.
Just incredible
Blue Suit Donald Trump and Melania were smiling and talking to each other during the funeral of Pope Francis. Could they be any more disrespectful and disgraceful?
Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.
Macron shook one hand.
Is this so he can also look at porn in the office as a show of how we're back to masculinity and lethality?
Maybe he means another 87%. By next week, they'll just be giving eggs away.
So the WH says they will not tolerate leakers in the DoD, but Hegseth is the one who leaked! So what they are really saying is they won’t tolerate altruism, integrity, or people who generally abides by security protocols.
Okay Markwayne.
He knows he's a senator, right? He doesn't need to do any of that stuff. In fact, in what situation does he think that would be necessary? Bizarre stuff.
"U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details of a March attack on Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis in a message group that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Sunday" www.reuters.com/world/us/def...
"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
OMG, the vulgar goblin in the Oval Office is even cheesier than we imagined.
Does he think he is the lead actor in a cast? He doesn't need to do these daily briefings from the Oval Office. It isn't transparent because he doesn't tell the truth. It is ALL just performative.
Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“
Missed a spot
