Imagine what MAGA could do to save healthcare if they just mobilized half as hard as they did for a Cracker Barrel logo?

āA lot of people are saying maybe weād like a dictator.ā
Nailed it
Iāve still never been to a Cracker Barrel.
This is the energy
Only $500 million
At $1.2M per mileā$500M total, requiring repainting every ~3 yrs, theyāre painting only the north side (our side) of the border wall black to make it ātoo hot to climb.ā Engineers say it makes no difference. To quote Dickens, āThe most wasteful of times, the dumbest of times.ā
The disabling of America continues. The Pentagon has fired Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore, the chief of the Navy Reserve, and former Navy SEAL officer Rear Admiral Milton Sands who oversaw Naval Special Warfare Command.
We probably shouldnāt normalize deploying the military domestically.
Iāve stayed on bothā¦.i get different things out of both platforms. Saying people get nothing out of BlueSky is a user error and not accurate.
The thing they keep forgetting is that other countries donāt play their games.

BREAKING: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just announced he refuses to authorize National Guard deployment in Maryland. š§µ
Imagine not voting for her because eggs were too expensive, while being warned it was going to get worse, then losing it allā¦.after you were warned.
Before someone gets killed? Thanks.
No, most wars in human history were not resolved by the aggressor nation with an autocratic ruler still firmly in power voluntarily agreeing to stop after negotiations. But I suppose when youāre Vance and youāre all-in on being a Putin apologist, you will say anything.
They get to drive by it and go ālook at how great our king is, a wall thatās black! Wowwwwwā
Coupled with the sheer stupidity of Trump who doesnāt like people saying āthis is a waste of moneyā and doing what he says
Heās such a pariah
Standards.
Who knows. More propaganda
Yup
Gotta appease MAGA
Exactly.
Bookmark this for when you donāt have healthcare
Apparently they want to keep us in.

Did you know thereās a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Nowā¦just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
How is it that they donāt realize that continually pointing out how annoying it is only makes it more hilarious.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER - YOUR FAVORITE DEMOCRACY RIDER FROM THE LONE STAR CORRAL
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās annoying AF, but it does highlight the absurdity of Trump when his own followers Call it things like childish and annoying etc.
Trump is sending the National Guard to 19 Republican-controlled states to do paperwork and stand around before he sends them, and his federal goon squads, into blue states to assault communities, so he can say āSee how bad blue states vs. red are.ā Calling it.
Very fine people according to Trump
Sooooā¦.what day are we picking?
Clever & humorous way to expose the ludicrousness of Cuban's proposal.
Perfect
There is this inherent danger with media comments of "distraction" & "unseriousness" when actual fascism is here & this is a civil war for our constitutional rights! The casual response by Dems leaves us as vulnerable as 1933 Germany. Act on these traitors NOW!!
Exactly
Right?
1. I donāt compliment fascists, no matter what the ārewardā is. 2. A hypothetical where youāre discussing the probability of actually having elections in 2026 is the entire problem. 3. This is how you stay a minority, while protecting your money, at the expense of a country.
Thatās how the ājusticeā system works in this country
A billionaire president providing basic and fundamental civic education in the form of a podcast or YouTube would do quite a bit to change the trajectory of this country, since barely anyone even knows how to call a state representative.
For real.
We knew this was coming
Immigrantsā¦.blue statesā¦..federal cashā¦..
āI was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that islandā¦ and I was not the only girl on that islandā¦ Ghislaine must die in prison, because Iāve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.ā Listen to the survivors.

Welker to Lavrov: "Here are the facts. Close to 50,000 civilians have either been killed or injured in this war. Russia has hit maternity wards, churches, schools, hospitals, a kindergarten just this week. So either the Russian military has terrible aim or you are targeting civilians. Which is it?"
š¤£š¤£
Fabulous
If itās all a democrat hoax, why does MAGA keep insisting Bill Clinton is the main subject of the files?
Transparency isnāt redacted transcripts from Todd Blanche, Trumpās lead lawyer, after a āconversationā that magically got Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to a cushier prison camp. He had no business near her. They all swim in the same swamp and sell the same story.
Exactly
Peak MAGA is believing people spend years getting gender reassignment surgeries just to open bathroom doors and assault women, then claiming black paint will stop a supposed cartel-fueled border āinvasion.āAnd still, women have fewer rights than six months ago and are less safe.
Trumpās FBI is cutting college requirements and reducing training just as 5,000 agents, analysts, and others are set to leave in September. Agents fear itāll shift focus from investigating national security threats to becoming a federal police force. You get what you vote for.
Call the raid of John Boltonās house what it is: political retribution. None of this makes America stronger or keeps Americans safe
DeSantis fronted $245M+ of FL taxpayer money for āAlligator Alcatrazā with the promise that FEMA would cover it. Now heās crying about an āactivist judgeā not letting him detain people in a swamp they knew wasnāt fit. Trump got his Nazi optics on FLās dime, DeSantis got played.
Not sure. I forgot how a Trump administration means that thereās so much disaster everywhere that itās hard to keep up with it all at the same time.
Thatās not how that works.
A Florida judge just ordered āAlligator Alcatrazā to shut in 60 days, after Florida and the feds skipped environmental reviews and blew $200M+ siphoned from FEMA on a swamp detention camp that threatens wetlands + endangered species. Waste. Fraud. Abused.
Itās probably just a coincidence that Boltonās home was raided on the day some of the Epstein files are due to finally be released to Congress. Is this that lawfare I keep hearing about?
Americans pay for top-tier customer service every time they make a payroll contribution. Donāt be fooled, remember that cuts to the Social Security Administration are Social Security CUTS.
āāJohn Bolton is not our favorite person,ā said Gerald Rogell, who lives across the street. But he also questioned whether the search was politically motivated.ā
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson with a blistering dissent directed at her conservative colleagues that included a Calvin & Hobbes reference. I love this woman. From Amy Howe at SCOTUSblog: www.scotusblog.com/2025/08/supr...
The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can cut $783M of research funding. Public-health advocacy groups have said that the cuts will inflict āincalculable losses in public health and human life.ā I wouldnāt call that a win.
MSNBC rebranding as MS NOW feels like a Trump-era move. Authoritarians blur fact and opinion on purpose. If Trump calls all news āfake,ā MS NOW can answers with āhereās the news and the take.ā Itās a sad time for journalism.
And just days ago, U.S. soldiers were kneeling to roll out the red carpet for Putin, while Russian soldiers watched

MAGA is more outraged at someone changing the Cracker Barrel logo than they are at someone changing history in the Smithsonian.
Lol
Five military draft deferments doesnāt make you a war hero.

Trump has an obsession with windmills the same way some people have an obsession with the proper shape of a spoon.
With 2026 elections coming up fast, Trump is once again obsessed with āfixingā voting, just as Newsmax agrees to pay out $67M for amplifying his election lies. Nothing says ātrust me with democracyā like changing the rules while your megaphone pays the bill for lying about it.
Imagine thinking America is safer without 37 intel officials who tracked Russian interference in 2016. DNI Tulsi Gabbard doesnāt, she just pulled their security clearances. She thinks itās safer for Trump if MAGA forgets about Epstein.
Love it
I want to try and get to heaven, if possible. Iām hearing Iām not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole.ā ā Donald Trump, in a Fox & Friends interview. Question for the DT-worshipping Christians: who have you made your idol?
The best part of Gavin Newsom trolling is how many Trump supporters donāt understand itās trolling.
When asked what her plan is, Collier said, āIāll just sit here, I donāt knowā¦ I guess Iāll wait til Wednesday.ā
Maybe Trump shouldnāt be talking about voter integrity today.
āThank you for invitation, and thank you very much for your effortsā¦ thank you for using this opportunity, many thanks to your wife.ā ā Zelenskyy, in a suit, saying thank you four times in the first 10 seconds of his Oval Office remarks. Thatās low-key trolling that Iām here for
š¤
Peter Doocy asking Zelenskyy, a man whoās shown historic courage leading his country through invasion, if heāll ākeep sending troops to their deathsā or āredraw the mapsā is vile. After his suit question last time, he should honestly just keep his mouth shut.
If youāve never voted for Trump, drop a comment or a š. Iād like to prove a point.
Itās an objective fact that Trump looked weak yesterday. He negotiated no deal, let a foreign dictator run a press conference on American soil, ran from questions, couldnāt walk straight and played chauffeur for Putin in the presidential limo, which is an American symbol of power
And not by Trump
Vladimir Putin led a press conference on American soil where no questions were allowed to be asked by the media. America First!
Donny No Deals and Putin left Alaska without announcing any concrete plans but did warn Ukraine to not get in the way of progress, which means deals were definitely made, just not in the interest of the United States, Ukraine, or EU.
Putin bringing his billionaire entourage to Alaska is a masterclass in flattery-as-strategy. Theyāll call Trump a pretty princess and take whatever they want, including leverage over U.S. markets.
If youāre one of the ones āpraying for Trumpā because heās negotiating with Putin, youāre admitting you know heās incompetent and needs all the help he can get.
With greedy, self-enriching, anti-democracy dictators, itās never enough. Just like American institutions keep learning that bending to Trumpās whims only means giving more, Trump bending to Putin and thinking itāll end there is pure delusion. Nothing about this will bring peace.
There is no reason for the end of a war that is taking place in Ukraine to be negotiated without Kyiv and EU leaders or to do it in Alaska.
Russian military strikes are continuing in Ukraine as Putin and Trump are in Alaska, supposedly discussing, peace. Thereās no other way to interpret that other than thereās no expectation of peace without Putin getting exactly what he wants.
lol
Taken down by condiments. Who would have guessed?
