I'd like to have seen that apology broadcast from the unemployment line.
People who point out that Charlie Kirk was a bigot are getting fired. How about firing the guy who suggested euthanizing the homeless? How about getting rid of THAT guy?
Can I get on that site by pointing out that Kirk was a hatemonger who didn't deserve to die?
The shade of Joe McCarthy is complaining in the background, "But that's MY idea."
"Lock him up." I like that phrase. Can we use it here?
No one cares about your wacky religious beliefs, Ms. Boebert.
I have no idea what an "orthodox atheist" is, and I suspect that Bob-Waksberg doesn't either.
Who is this filthy freak? Or do I even want to know?
Can I use the phrase "siq fuq" on this site?
They need someone able to gin up the hate as skillfully as Kirk, and at present it doesn't look like they've got anyone.
One thing about Mr. Trump's hostile takeover of the Kennedy Center is that now there's always plenty of parking.
Mr. Trump is not interested in stopping violence, but instead is promoting and exploiting it.
And these fascists wonder why people despise them.
I may vomit.
Kirk's legacy will be that of a hate-monger who didn't deserve to be murdered, and who didn't deserve to be lionized.
So THIS is how Mr. Trump is going to attract innovative manufacturing to America — by making it impossible.
This angry man gets to decide what "belittling" is and who gets to do it? I'll take a hard pass, thanks just the same, Rep. Whoozits (R-What Else).
Soooo much love.
Government waste, fraud, and abuse: apparently you can see it from space.
Yep. Mr. Trump's pretty much a moron, all right.
These people have always been uncomfortable with expertise. They want to dumb everything down. Where have we seen this in American history before?
Such a delicate flower.
Is Powell, in his extremely dry way, trying to jolly Mr. Trump along? It's worth a shot, I guess.
Righties, you know what you can do with your feelings, right?
"Mr. Soldier sir? Am I being detained? Yes? For what? Oh, nothing? Then I'll be on my way. You can run along and play now."
Like most rightwingnuts, pigdog Cheung has the morals of a wharf rat, and the vocabulary of a home-schooled eight-year-old.
There are sooooo many morons in Mr. Trump's second maladministration that Duffy doesn't even stand out.
Here come the season's hurricanes. Would it be wrong of me to hope that some of these climate deniers float out to sea?
Er…Rep Whoozits? Appeals to America's slaveowning past just don't go down that well these days. Fire the staffer who came up with this idea for you.
Everything Mr. Trump attempts is undercooked and overhyped. A little staff work would go a long way here.
What a loser.
Agreed that hiding all the nutso things that Mr. Trump says would make him appear a little more sane. Unfortunately for his handlers, Mr. Trump is guaranteed to say more whacked-out nonsense the next time he opens his mouth. It's like trying to shovel the water away from a broken pipe.
Why did Israel kill the journalists? Because they can.
Did Donnie check to see if he still had his wallet?
This is a little juvenile for Newsom, and risks going over Mr. Trump's head. I mean…
Republicans only ever cheat. They have no other strategy. Except maybe the lying.
For all their experience lying, rightwingnutters never seem to get any good at it. For some people, practice DOESN'T make perfect.
When Mr. Trump eats your brains and your balls, this is what you get.
Well, Mr. Trump has convinced me not to drive in DC, anyway. Is that what he was after? Some sort of traffic-congestion relief scheme? I thought he didn't like those.
I swear, EVERYONE on the political scene is smarter than these trumpers. Dumbitude seems to be their superpower, and I'm still trying to figure out how that works.
"Loyalty" to a president by a corporation? This is Marcos-level corruption. The father, not the son.
How do Mr. Trump's policies specifically punish Uber and DoorDash contractor-employees? I have to assume that punishing their employees is what Uber and DoorDash are after.
Get "chippy." That's my advice, notwithstanding what the Park Police goon says in the video. Yes, PARK POLICE.
What sane OB-GYN would want to practice in such states?
Keep in mind that, while a meeting with the American President used to be considered a diplomatic coup for the other party, since it's Trump it hardly matters at all. Just Mr. Trump making a fool of himself and America on the world stage.
This is the time for all patriots to resist Trump-fascism.
I don't think that's even legal. Not that being illegal would slow Bondi down.
"Get out." "And go where?" "Not my problem."
How many artists will turn him down? I hope Mr. Trump's picking carefully, because aside from Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, who's still alive?
It'll hit somewhere, sometime, at some strength or the other. Nothing people really need to know, and so the Fed won't tell them.
Gee, I preferred it when America was a prized tourist destination for well-heeled travelers from other nations.
This story didn't so much "dominate online conversation" as "catch the attention of people with too much time on their hands." And I had LOTS of conversations this week, completely undominated by this topic. Because, who cares? As controversies go, this is something of a floperoo.
No one likes a cheater. Texas 'Licans are spending a shrinking cache of credibility as fast as Samuel Alito would in hosting a conference on judicial ethics.
I'm sure the irony is entirely lost on Mr. Trump.
This is the memeiest of memes. We risk not being taken seriously if we take this seriously.
Gov. Abbott? Get bent.
Yes, Mr. Trump thought that Iran would be awed by his awesomeness and stop trying to achieve the goals their god has told them they must pursue.
I gotta ask. How is this mass murder Mamdani's fault/responsibility? He's not Mayor (yet).
Jackson is an international treasure. I want to see this on my local TV station. Probably not, though.
I want to see this ad on my local TV station, but I suspect I won't.
Perhaps "moulding" should be "molding," or "moldering," both of which would describe Mr. Trump's brain.
Mr. Envoy Inept, meet Mr. Envoy goofy.
This Mr. Trump just isn't a very useful person.
This administration has destroyed its ability to get accurate data about anything.
It might be hard to get such data to USDA in a timely fashion and the data might be pretty hinky anyway. Malicious compliance? Say it ain't so.
Extortion is also illegal.
Surely we can stop this guy at the border when he tries to enter the country again.
Gack.
America is home to many great universities, but Columbia is no longer among them. If you bend the knee once, you stay on your knees forever.
Anonymous jackbooted thugs illegally and cruelly dragging people off the streets want to remain anonymous? Well, shucks.
Paper straws? Seriously? Mr. Trump is pretty fuggin' desperate, all right.
Trump is thinking Benjamin Franklin, while the minions around him are thinking Benito Mussolini. Unfortunately for him, Mr. Trump is neither.
ICE will not be sending us its best.
Project 2025 is not sending us its best.
Nit-brained ninny. (Can I say that here?)
The theory being, if the corrupt act is performed in broad daylight, it's not corruption at all. I don't think that's going to stand up.
What Mr. Trump doesn't get is that transitioning away from carbon is already a windfall for energy companies, who will simply adapt to the changing technology while continuing to make pots of money. Trump doesn't have to destroy renewable energy to keep his oily pals rich.
Regardless of what Maxwell might say, there's a mountain of documentation with Mr. Trump's name on it. And it's the kind of information that "wants to be free."
These people are terrified that subject-matter experts in their own departments will make them feel dumb — so they're firing them all.
Thugs knocking over a convenience store are less criminal than Mr. Trump.
This woman needs to get a job or something.
These Fox goons need to get a job.
Having done nothing useful, the Marines will return to their base weakened and dispirited after weeks doing what the Constitution tells them they must not.
Mr. Trump continually goes out of his way to propose the stupidest and most pointless things possible. Why does anyone listen to this fool?
Give me a break, Murkowski. Everybody on the planet has known for years that Trump can't be trusted even a little bit. You thought you could play both ends against the middle, but got cheated again.
Hey, everybody, if you're dragged away from the beach by a current while swimming, you have to swim parallel to the beach until you get out of the current, or you will die.
Like ANY competent judge would vote for this brainless and vicious goofball.
Trump to Americans: Drop dead.
Mr. Trump handles EVERYTHING based on the concept of "surviving the next 15 minutes," and has done so his entire life. And boy howdy, it shows.
More than anything else, justice demands truth. And these people haven't got any.
Along with everything else, these people have NO sense of the ridiculous.
Orange Gramps is up on the roof with that bullhorn again, yelling at the neighbors. But I don't think he has any pants on this time.
"Luna" sounds about right.
This will do permanent damage — but not as much as you'd think. MAGAts have already swallowed a cow: a hippo isn't that much bigger an ask.
Five days, all of which had a 'y' in them.
"No probable cause?" Homan needs to be in prison.
Homan and Noem are two the many reasons that Mr. Trump is underwater with voters on every single issue.
Bongino seems like something of a delicate flower, doesn't he?
Girl campers of Texas to Secty. Noem: "Glub, glub, glub…"
If you have to parade around a public park in all your battle-rattle to get your ya-yas off, then that tells us how small your wedding tackle is.
