Lumps. But ear has healed nicely.
The US humiliated by Trump humiliated by Putin.
Cue Murkowski being being "super offended" and Collins expressing "concern" before falling in line.
I just can't got over the feeling that this is leading to The Trump Youth.
Every sentence of this Iran analysis by @radiofreetom.bsky.social is measured and no less terrifying for it — right to the very last line. Gift link 🎁 www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
Trump welcomes anyone into the Oval who will trash the United States pre-Trump.
Bill Maher is o’so old news.
I wonder if she realizes that "You can agree to President Trump's demand, or there will be all hell to pay" also applies to her and everyone else who deals with him.
They say two of them are gay, and everybody knows it. It's just DEI waddling all over the place. Ooo, there's a dwarf!
USAID was paying for the removal of Vietnam-era land mines in Cambodia. When aid was frozen, China stepped in to fund the project. Cambodia is pushed closer to China and further from us. This is an example of the soft power and humanitarian benefits of USAID.
Members of administration will have committed so many criminal acts, they will have no option but to retain power in any way necessary.
“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault…I’m going to put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia,” Trump said. “If you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the US. There will be a 25% tariff on all oil.”
IMO, Trump envied & considered Putin as dictator (having power of life & death) superior to himself as President of a democracy. As Trump now reaches his own dictatorship, and wielding the greater power of the US, he is more likely to feel himself superior -- depending on Putin's possible kompromat.
President Donald Trump said Sunday he was “angry” at Russian President Vladimir Putin after Putin attacked the credibility of Ukraine’s president, adding that the White House would consider more tariffs on Russian oil if he believed Putin was holding up a peace agreement.

Yet another merit-based hire by the Trump admin… (for top legal job at EPA)?

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA. There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake
This is obvious evidence of some type of sociopathic mentality. Has there been a professional willing to give the correct name for this mental disorder, or whatever it is called? Seems more than drug related.
Trump will try to sucker Carney to the White House. Where he and his gangster team can "subtly" try to humiliate Canada. Just enough to where trump can play like he got the best of Carney. Sure Carney would know trump's little plot.
This is awful.
10,000 people unemployed 10,000 families losing a source-maybe their ONLY source-of income G-d only knows how many will now become homeless Lose their insurance Require public assistance Or turn to food banks (from which Trump just slashed $billions) And they think it's "fantastic"
There’s something deeply wrong with Kristi Noem.
Looks so staged, with the most tattooed prisoners forced into position up front. They all look conspicuously posed under threat for a Kristi propaganda video.
This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.
What was the purpose of the play by play to this particular group? Sounded a bit like Hegseth was hosting a show, and this group was the audience he was trying to impress.
NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
Well, they lied. Obviously.
Not enough people are talking about this. Must be all that shock and awe they brag about. Can you imagine if any other president did this?
What ever happened to "We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."
Do I remember the article right, were they not also discussing how to charge Europe for the strike? That Europe had no say in?
Then you have to wonder why you would invite that contact to join in your war plans.
Usha shows herself to be no better than the rest of maga.
Honest question: Could the Inspector General of, say, Amtrak trade places with the Inspector General of, say, the CIA and be able to conduct audits & investigations effectively on day 1? Is specific knowledge of each department's functions necessary? If so, what the hell is DOGE actually doing?
100 US forces from Denmark or 100 Danes?
Incredible. Powerful. Tragic. Please share.
IDK, maybe the same reason they attended the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936?
If you have to ask "will the wold acknowledge that those are Russian territories?" -- they may not be Russian territories.
Is Witkoff saying he believes Putin wouldn't invade Europe now because of NATO? If that's what he wants to believe, then why would he not want to make Ukraine part of NATO and end the war?
I get your point. I think a crowd does help reinforce to others that they are not crazy & alone. I re-watched "Unfit" & was reminded of experiment asking which line was shorter. Obvious answer. Until 3 actors in experiment pointed to a shorter & participant went along thinking he had been wrong.
Here we come
Decades Ago, Columbia Refused to Pay Trump $400 Million. Note That Number. A quarter century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/n... By Matthew Haag and Katherine Rosman

“I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it,” Trump told reporters Friday evening. So… (1) Trump is lying & he signed it? (2) Trump is senile & doesn’t remember signing it? (3) Trump had Marco Rubio use the autopen to sign it? www.cnn.com/2025/03/21/p...
Every time a Tesla burns, an angel gets their wings.
What's next. Us behind an iron curtain and can't get out?
Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK By "Led By Donkeys"
Roses are red Violets are blue
Absolutely. But their behavior is characteristic of those who feel they will never have to worry about the consequences of corrupt behavior. Confident about pardons, or too confident about not losing elections?
That's awesome. I will be able to share more now. Thank you.
They are going to make it harder for the scientists to stop, or even record, what comes next.
Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
I swear his twitter account is being used by trump. This is not the first that has trump speak and mentality all over it. And so reminiscent of the transgender mice.
And he won with a score of 18.
And he won with a score of 18.
Didn't his lawyers claim he had to be impeached first?
So much winning -- the North Korean way.
Again, quoting a Secretary Rubio tweet that was written by Trump.
#GVerse Watch & Repost!!! Two criminals made a deal to steal the Presidency to keep each other out of prison. And they’ve been telling us on tape that they did this for months. #RemoveTrump #deportelonmusknow
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
The way they act, it's as if they are not the least bit worried about losing majority in 2006. And Trump & Co will have come too far, done too much, to allow that to happen. How can we even be sure we will have legitimate midterms.
France has no quarrel with eliminating US troops if it has too. In January they declared that the EU would defend its borders and promised French troops in Greenland. This month France is practicing personnel landings on ice runways in Greenland. #3E #EndImpunity
He'd just claim they didn't say thank you enough, so now it's a territory.
Or what?
Read this right now www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
Pi day is just another fake holiday created by big math to sell more circles
Those 2 tweets of Rubio's had to be written by Trump. Is he dictating Secretary Rubio's tweets? "South Africa is doing very bad things." "no longer welcome in our great country" "race-baiting politician who hates America and hates @POTUS" Rubio doesn't phrase that way. That's pure Trump speak. .
Would never shop there again. Won't patronize any establishment with a republican sign, or right-wing news playing on their TV.
Will Trump throw up road blocks to the return of Ukrainian children?
I remember in 2016, a report that DJTJ informed a John Kasich adviser that his father wanted Kasich to run as his VP & offered to make him the most powerful VP in history, in charge of both domestic & foreign policy. Asked then what Trump be in charge of, DJTJ replied Making America Great Again.
Compare their concern for the return of Ukrainian children to Ukrainian families with their supposed concern for the return of Israeli hostages to Israeli families.
Here's the statement from Yale confirming cancellation of the contract. Yale won't comment directly on what they think of the State Department's decision. They can barely stand up for the work of their own research lab
Nice to see that people recognize realty here. Because comments in our local WLOS news could lead you to believe that we are overwhelmed with true maga believers here.
He wants to play King, summoning those he finds inferior (which is everybody) to the Oval to put on a show of power. That's his schtick. Visitors exhibit manners, this egomaniac counters with rudeness. Representatives can expect him to attempt to humiliate them & their country if they come to visit.
Canadians are seriously savage
Seemed Project 2025 was making good progress. Could tariff wars benefit or hurt that progress & its backers? Or could a tanking of the economy cause Trump to lose the support needed to finally cement their plan & actually end up saving democracy? A choice between 2 evils? Just a thought.
Terrible.
As a disgruntled Tesla owner, who bought a car prior to Musk stroking out, I am willing to join a class action lawsuit against the Tesla Board of Directors for failing to exercise their fiduciary responsibility and fire Musk from any involvement in the company. Who can make that happen?
It would be more forgiving if she didn't understand tariffs. But I am tired of using stupidity to excuse the lies.
Is musk a scam?
Of course they will try to stop the midterms. Because they will have no choice. As illegal activity escalates, their lack of concern for consequences will only show their lack of concern for loss of power. Eventually, there may be more than just Trump whose freedom depends on remaining in power.
Elon is attacking somebody falsely and egregiously because they are a real astronaut
A smirking Bagdad Bob.
Not for the welfare of the US, not for anything, until it effects you and your constituents.
Looks like Rubio's been told he hasn't said thank you to DOGE enough.
Just goes to show, no amount of money or pandering will ever bring the extortion to an end. I don't know why we always hear that Trump wants to be liked. In my experience, vile, evil, bullies, don't care if they are liked. They want to be envied, respected, and most of all feared.
The idiot doesn't know what he is doing, he is creating a disaster, & they are not stopping him. Or he (they) knows exactly what he (they) are doing, and the disaster IS the plan. My guess, it is the latter, and it is more dangerous than the former.
A symbiotic relationship, with Trump as the useful idiot. I could see Vance being groomed to take the CEO monarch position after Trump and his cult have served their purpose.
Ask Hegseth. They may be sharing makeup tips.
Translation: It's going to get bad. And you might think about turning on me. But you will still go along with everything, because you will believe that I will make you rich like me.
Why would Rubio enter that fray on his own? I could see no good reason. Or are they just competing for Trump's favor to show who can be the rudest to any European official.
Attempting to save Putin, will we discover Trump feeding vital information to Putin?
