Umm...did he sleep thru the part where the law suits failed?
40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.
Making shit up. It's what he does
It's the hair that stands out to me....no wonder he's been wearing hats all the time if he can't manage that anymore My 94 year old mom can't fix her hair anymore, either
I seem to remember the Constitution speaking of "providing for the common defense " not "going to war"
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trumpโs deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.

Very annoyed by this brainworm, heroin narrative that RFK is some kind of incompetent. He may very well be mentally ill, I'm not a doctor, but it's kind of beside the point. He's calculating; he has said he wanted to do all these things for years, and now he's doing them. ๐คท๐ป
The Quantum Leap (2022 version) team...no problem!
Trump and his family have made over $3.4 BILLION while in office. Weโve never seen profiteering at this scale โ not even close. While costs rise for Americans, Trump is using the White House to rake in as much money for himself as possible.
I suspect he's learned to fake that kver the years Not that wormbrain could judge it....
Revoking an entire nationalityโs visas is collective punishment and never acceptable โ especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

Those who havenโt been through the cycle of abuse rarely realize a massive part of why people stay is the horribly human conviction that if we could just find the right words, theyโd understand what theyโre doing is wrong & that itโs killing us. There are no right words, because they already know.
Raddatz: "One of the things that they're trying to do in D.C. with the National Guard is have them back up federal law enforcement." Gov. Wes Moore: "They're picking up trash."

I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.

Gov. Wes Moore: "As the Commander in Chief of the Maryland National Guard...the National Guard is not trained for municipal policing. You know who is? Local law enforcement, FBI agents, and ATF agentsโand the president's budgets cut funding for them."
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
Heโs providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. ๐
Friends, no one to wake you and protect your body or even care for your starving cat. There are several verses of rhyming curses in the trad song "Nell Flaherty's Drake" where a man lambastes the person who stole his pet duck. Enjoy www.irishsongs.com/lyrics.php?A...
๐งตIn Irish and Scots Gaelic, there are no "bad words"; no words you can't say in polite society. But there are some amazing curses, maledictions wishing harm. They often require some knowledge to understand, like "the cat eat you and the devil eat the cat" which implies you should die alone and w/o

Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in governmentโkeep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.

โILLEGALSโ MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. Heโs a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

Stephen Miller looks like the villain in a movie about tax audits.
Robert Kennedy Jr. is a fucking lunatic. Period.
Corporate Americaโs playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

When he's really dead, you'll know from the roar of celebration across the land. It won't be here first; posters will be too busy finding a link to post(and opening champagne)
It's adorable that ICE thinks it *could* lower its standards for new recruits.
Man, don't harsh the buzz....
It's weird because he's an attention hog, but if he lets us have a holiday weekend without his ugliness.... That would be nice

Trying not to react to rumors, working on my 2nd cup of coffee and thinking I may need to buy that just-in-case bottle of champagne.
ICE forcing firefighters to stop battling a wildfire and make them all show their papers, then arresting some active firefighters and pulling them off the line shows there's no bottom. As @aselrod.bsky.social pointedly argues, it's nothing less than an "active assault on virtue wherever it exists."
What the actual f do they think happens in bathrooms that a privacy door isn't taking care of?? Seriously, I've been in mixed restrooms overseas, no problem.
Totally agree!
When I was in high school, "the 2%" were the kids who made life bad for the rest of us...we made fun of the concept then, and it doesn't sound any better 50 years later. Tell the truth about history and let the chips fall as they may. We f'ed up; grown-ups deal with that.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the Presidentโs tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
Let's see THAT PAGE that the liar says he didn't do!
I want to see that page tsf says he didn't do The rest can go away, for all I care, but THAT PAGE
Trump got rid of all the Mexican Gardeners and Landscapers and gave that job to Americans. Oops, I meant, the National Guard. It cost us taxpayers $530 per soldier, so roughly we pay $ million dollars per day to keep the troops in DC... gardening! How fucked up is that?
I stopped following him for just that reason...he's neither right nor amusing, altho he thinks he's both
