"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
I really think we underestimate how much of media has been captured by far right ideologues.

I genuinely don’t get the fear of this guy. The turmoil he’ll be inheriting will be insane. All the horrible policies that MAGA accepts because Trump has a “master plan” will fall in his lap, minus the “master plan.” And whatever you think of Trump, he’s a generational politician, Vance isn’t close.
I can’t wait to see MAGAs heads explode when Biden attends Trump’s funeral.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
I bet you that bout with Covid took a years off of his life.
He’s going to be that sub who thinks he’s a disciplinarian, only to realize he’s not when he gets home and sees the back of his jacket covered in spitballs.
The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.
Very fair point lol.
He’s going to have the strength of a hated substitute teacher. MAGA won’t embrace him. There will probably tons of fractures within the administration itself. When the ailing guy dies, the chaos that ensues will be hilarious.
Enthusiasm grows when voters see a party fighting and winning. (And Democrats are doing both- fighting back on redistricting attacks and special election wins). Constant gloom, both sides coverage, and magnified Dem drama don’t inspire turnout — they smother it.
Down-ballot Democrats barely exist in MSNBC coverage. Meanwhile Fox elevates every random GOP backbencher into a national figure. That’s a huge imbalance.
I think you’re onto something.
Trump has never used the word “ponder” in his life.
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

I’ve said this so many times, but Trump’s strength is his perceived strength, and if every time he’s missing for a few days people assume he’s dead, well, then he’s just fucked.
*your
Imagine banning vaccines before cigarettes and pretending you’re mission is making people healthier.
When he does die, I will grieve how much of my time & joy he stole across a decade. I will grieve what my children had to witness in their country. I will grieve all who didn't survive & the survivors who bear trauma. I will grieve weak people with power. But never him. He is the worst of us.
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
So much is made of “liberal guilt” but the heart of Trumpism is conservative guilt. Liberals confront the past, while conservatives romanticize one that never existed.
Never forget that these are the people who believe they possess superior genes.
What a fucking waste of money. I’ve been to so many games and never once did I feel even remotely unsafe.
Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.

He’d be flying up to Bedminster if it wouldn’t kill him.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Doubt that will happen because all of their children will grow up to hate them. We thank you for your service, though.
But when multiple white men shoot up predominantly Jewish or Black spaces they’re always “lone wolves.”
And I stand by it! Seriously, it’s obvious Trump is in bad shape and they’re sending Vance out to make the rounds, do rallies and the like, and based on the reception, he may as well be speaking to tree stumps. He’s got zero charisma and Trumpists will just see him as another career politician.
You can believe plenty in prayer and still find it utterly lacking as a concrete public policy response from an elected leader. If Biden had asked people to pray for inflation to cool off, what would these exact same people have said?
Vance doing rallies while Trump stays in DC is a real foreboding sign for MAGA.
“.. if, God forbid, there's a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten over the last 200 days,” he added. @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Gotta recharge that dying battery.
Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
Newsom: This cannot be normalized. And yes so I'm highlighting some just just blatant hypocrisy. Yes, we are putting a mirror up to the lunacy that is trump's tweets and his grift.
The erasure of Black people under Trump continues unabated.
Whether you love, like, or hate Gavin Newsom - he is the one thing keeping the orange shit-bag’s blood pressure elevated, which will ensure the next election is against JD Hotpants…
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
Construction and teardown of Alligator Alcatraz will cost taxpayers $320 million—money that could house every Floridian experincing homelessness. Imagine if Gov. DeSantis found as much joy in transforming lives as he does in destroying them.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning
The most predictable human being ever.
Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.
He’s doing these “cabinet meetings” because he’s not healthy enough to travel and do rallies.
Four more top #CDC officials have submitted their resignation in the past few hours - Debra Houry (chief medical officer), Demere Daskalakis (director of NCIRD), Daniel Jernigan (director of NCEZID) + Jen Layden (director of OPHDST) www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... It is horrifying
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
Now that we know guns don’t actually prevent an authoritarian government, can we maybe do something about the fact that children keep getting murdered while in school?
He has the benefit of not being president, or a malignant narcissist, he can lay low, conserve energy, etc… Saw a picture of Trump from May and he looks significantly worse now. The stress of the job is killing him.
Trump seems overly obsessed with DC because he doesn’t really leave here any more (I’d imagine for health reasons). He hates the city and is punishing it for becoming his prison.
I guess Trump’s secret plan is to get rank and file military personnel to hate him.
Racism against Black people is treated like it’s normal, but when it happens to others it suddenly becomes a national crisis. I’m not saying it should be tolerated for anyone, I’m saying take ours just as seriously, because it’s rooted in centuries of deadly history.
Probably a Schumer staffer because she said I had “Schumer derangement syndrome” and that’s just fucking hilarious.
Imagine being a company that decides it needs to update its 50 year old logo, spending no doubt a ridiculous amount of time and money on the effort, and then having it all blow up because the Republican Party has a sex trafficker problem.
“He’s got some strange hand action going on. I don’t know what the hell is his problem. It’s a little weird to be honest, a little something shaky go on there.” -Trump on Gavin Newsom Holy shit he’s going to die soon. I know Trump projects but this is elite level projection, even for him.
Friends, we are far beyond the buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride quips. We have passed the secure your oxygen mask moment. So, allow me to say it plainly. FUCK YOU, Republicans who won't stop this mad man. You could stop this and have him out of office if you wanted. Impeach, Convict, Remove
And that’s why they’re trying to turn the White House into Mar a Lago.
My newest conspiracy theory is that this time he's staying in D.C. and not living in Florida, because he needs to be closer to the doctors that give him treatment for whatever is turning his body into a living corpse. The guy famously hates D.C. Can't think of another reason he's there.
He equates time with being energetic. That 3 hour prostration session is him trying to prove he’s not in the horrible shape we all know he’s in.
Guard morale has got to be in the shitter.
Yep. His dementia is advanced and what little impulse control he possessed is almost completely gone now.
He’s a couple more misfiring neurons away from calling us the hard R.
Teddy Ruxpin if it was a demented insult machine.
She blocked me because I met her with the same condescension and rudeness as she approached me with.
We need FEWER people talking to each other on this accursed internet.
Most striking thing about this clip is not Trump floating the idea of being a dictator (again) and claiming some want that. The most striking thing is his sneering dismissal of the counter argument "freedom." Only modern US president to explicitly oppose freedom. Should be the basis of opposition.
Trump’s narcissism ensures we get to watch as dementia rapidly disintegrates his brain.
How is the President declaring “a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" not the headline of every newspaper in America? And don’t say, what are newspapers?
You’re making arguments for me that I never made. I like when they’re out front and center, and that’s what I want them to do. I said as much. You can take up your argument with the imaginary me you’ve made up somewhere else.
Compare and contrast. Klobuchar lays out the stakes for the country, Jeffries lays out the stakes for one person. I genuinely thought he’d be a better messenger than he’s proven to be.
I want you to think about what it means for the criminal president to be the primary source of economic instability, disorder and chaos while at the same time you, a normal law-abiding person, are doing everything you can do get ahead or just tread water. Do you feel resentful? You should.
Love it when someone comes into my mentions condescending to me and they end up blocking me because who the fuck did they were talking to?
What did Pritzker do here legislatively? Politics has a performative component and our leaders in Congress are abdicating that role. In a world driven more and more by clicks and content, much as I despise it, that’s also part of their job now.
You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
If he did, I’d applaud him. I don’t know how you’ve made it to your ripe old age without realizing politics has a performative component. If it didn’t we have Biden as president, because he was great at the job, but bad at the performance.
Wow, you’re a real piece of shit. Me hoping the man would speak with more urgency, like Pritzker, isn’t derangement syndrome, it’s criticism.
And you seem to assume everyone is looking for a silver bullet. We’re fucked until midterms, but laying the ground work, seeding the energy necessary to swamp them in the midterms is something every Democrat should be doing right now. Again, the right built a propaganda network for a reason.
And if you don’t think public pressure played a role I don’t know what to tell you. He got access to better lawyers because his case became high profile.
And you refuse to acknowledge that speaking up can be a tool. Abrego Garcia and other men would still be rotting in CECOT if not for Chris Van Hollen’s “performative optics”. Politics is a lot about shaping opinions (which is why the right has a propaganda network) abdicating that role is failure.
In an earlier post I acknowledged their actual limitations, but we live in a world driven by attention and they’re terrible at garnering attention and framing issues with any sense of urgency. If they don’t speak with urgency why would the average uninformed American care? (Also, don’t be a prick).
Feels like the UK and the U.S. are going through so many of the same things politically that I’ll start reading a post and swear it’s about the U.S. until the OP spells it “labour”.
In one tweet Loomer is validating everyone who knows who’s really running the show.
Fair point. Big fish eats little fish until there are no more little fish.
Stfu, I voted Kamala and have some of the best Dem representatives. Look in the fucking mirror. It’s people like YOU that are the reason we’re here.
Hard to argue with his dad at this point.
Gov JB Pritzker (D-IL) “This isn’t a time to pretend there are two sides to this story. This is not a time to fall back into the reflexive crouch that I so often see, where the authoritarian creep by this administration is ignored in favor of some horse race piece on who will be helped politically”
Twas sarcasm good sir.
At all. There’s no miraculous bounce back coming. He’s stressed, eats like shit, and travels too much. If he was a normal senior citizen he’d probably eke out another 5 years, but that’s not the case.
Capitalism!
He’ll be dead within the year.
The worst thing is people who just brought their kids here on vacation, without incidence, will pretend they experienced Miller’s dystopian bullshit.
