"Welcome to Trumpistan. Documents please."
"All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything." One has to repeat themselves when all you MAGA GOP want do do is deny, deny, deny that anything was amiss on January 6th.
As in Mental Aberrations Gone Amuck? Indeed.
That strange sound you hear is his dad, the late Robert F. Kennedy, spinning in his grave, God rest his soul.
Doubters may soon be Outers...
Introduced in 1962, this one should be in a museum and not the battlefield. But if all your newer tanks were destroyed trying to invade Ukraine, Putin has no choice but to use what can be scrounged from the Siberian scrapyards.
When the National Guard becomes the National Gardeners...
Oil is a lubricant, right?
With all their money, you'd think she could afford a hat that fits...
I wonder if many of Trump's worst and most toxic ideas came from the most sinister member of his retinue, one Stephen Miller.
Iit is so deliciously ironic in that they were following Trump's orders to, as you so quaintly described, fuck themselves in the ass.
Wasn't it Ben Franklin who, when asked after the 1787 Constitutional Convention, what kind of government had been adopted, replied "A republic, if you can keep it."
We will soon witness that Russia has a booming economy.
Well, they are protecting us, as long as "us" means themselves.
A bronze monument celebrating Benedict Arnold is probably next on Trump's DC renovations.
The orange baboon presently redecorating the White House to glorify his own presence within it does not have the intelligence, education, wit or empathy that Obama shed in one fingernail clipping.
Staged or not, the opportunity to see and hear such talent and art in public is a rare treat, if not a privilege. We should count ourselves fortunate to experience it, and at no cost to us but to pause and enjoy.
The day will come soon enough when they won't just go away, they' do much more unpleasant than that, as their fat assed orange faced boss in DC demands of them. He's busy recruiting ever thug, bully and wannabee tough guy he can find to wear a cop vest, which is quite a few when you think about.
And for sure never on its knees.
Much of what most of us believed to be good and true and lasting about America is being tossed into the dustbin of history - like any empire absorbed with self-gratification.
You and your kids, and maybe all of us, may at some point be forced to do exactly that, once ICE becomes the Trump's polICE force and the economy goes bust.
"Where's my treat, human?"
It may quickly get to the point that only the American people, gathered in mass on the streets of every city in the country can overcome this dictatorship. But that takes guts that we may no longer possess. Accordingly the day can soon come that dictator's masked thugs will overcome any opposition.
He is to be commended for not just loafing around, he threw all he had into his protest.
To refer to the man as an "MFing Idiot" is too kind...
That rattle you hear is the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves...
Trump is a fake strong man, actually terrified of men physically stronger than him, whom he regards both with fear and admiration, for that is precisely what his bully self would want to be. In fact, he's a physical weakling and lifelong coward, who hides behind fierce words and threats.
Ignorance is one of the qualifying factors in hiring an individual for the Trump administration, meaning they have to be ignorant.
Given who owns most of the mainstream media, should this come as a surprise?
Indifferent, indiscriminate and deliberate cruelty to people declared "enemies" is an inherent feature built into the MAGA presidency to terrorize the population into compliance.
On that well considered basis, I too would refuse to meet with Donald J. Trump.
To paraphrase the Gipper (who was frankly little better) "Mister Trump, tear down this wall."
We could say that government is all about give and take. Trouble is, today's GOP takes what it wants and doesn't give damn what the other side ends up with.
Hmm. Doesn't suppression of a free press constitute one of the historical symptoms of an authoritarian dictatorship?
I hope so, because I'm for sure sick of Trump.
The masks worn by ICE reflect the wears' fear, if not cowardice. They are less like cops and more like holdup robbers who disguise their faces to avoid being held accountable for their crimes.
Soon only those well rewarded by kneeling to the MAGA deep state will be prosperous to afford the housing set aside for them by realtors who are already part of the problem set. Everyone else? Welcome to the ghettos of the former middle class, or to life in your cars or in the streets.
Burn baby, burn.
But US troops to help Ukraine? Never on Trump's watch. Putin has the goods on Trump, that much is clear.
One could say that Putin trumps Trump.
Stifling and assaulting protesters is an early hallmark of an authoritarian regime. Oddly, even the Nazi brown shirts at the height of their reign of terror on Germany's streets, never wore masks to hide their identity from the citizens they were beating to a bloody pulp. Get the picture?
Now if he'd only put his money where his mouth is...
I simply wish he was on another world...
Stephen Miller's uncanny resemblance (behavior wise at least) to Josef Goebbels is disconcerting, almost convincing one that reincarnation is real.
That Monty Python show was a blast, always left me in stitches.
Again: Come in peace or leave in pieces.
OMG! I'm floored, flabbergasted, flustered and flipped out over this amazing and totally unexpected development! The Department of Jerking Us Around seems to have come through for The Donald, just as he intended.
I gassed up the car today and paid 5% more than last week. So much for the Donald's promises.
Looks like the Poles want Putin to know that they are damn sure not to be next...
Ukrainians are incredible - strong, stalwart, courageous, inventive and staunchly determined theirs will be a fee and democratic country. Glory to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people!
Clearly, Dear Old Donald has no investments in this wind farm project, nor does he expect to profit from it personally. In fact, The Donald is not even convinced there is such a thing as wind, or weather for that matter. And climate? You gotta be kidding.
Wonder if that magnificent eagle would like to come to Washington DC and show MAGA that they don't own the place and she's not going to stand for it.
All I can say is that's effed up, man.
Fight fire with fire and Gov Newsom not only does that, but he takes it to fight fire with flair as well.
Small correction: "surviving officers"
Someone should have locked him in.
Let's not forget that these National Guard troops have civilian jobs and families back home, and this deployment, political theater that it is, is taking them away from both job and loved ones for nothing other than another Trump ego trip.
Liberace had class, graciousness and intelligence, all of which are lacking in The Donald.
After all, if you're smarter than everyone else, you don't need Intelligence...
What happens when a fool follows in the footsteps of a damned fool.
From the MAGA GOP's perspective, Rep. Nicole Collier has three strikes against her: she's black, she's a female and she's one of those Woke Democrats.
Following the logic of our friend Jesse, he would not object to, say, the USA giving up Texas or Alaska to another country because such alterations of sovereign territories to other nations are commonplace in history?
Come in peace or leave in pieces...
When taking cover, isn't...
Collins would very much like him to clam up.
Well, we already know that Trump and the GOP want us to go nowhere...
We don't deserve animals and for sure they don't deserve the abuse we so often heap upon them.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Trump plans similar fates for all the "woke" folks whom he considers personal enemies, i.e. eventually consign them to virtual slavery in low paying jobs that make life not even worth living.
Better yet, Putin may well posses the long rumored "pee tapes" of Trump's early visits to Moscow, when it is alleged that the Donald took part in orgies with prostitutes - encounters set up by the KGB and covertly recorded by hidden cams. Trump for sure would not want these "leaked." (Pun intended.)
It may be best to watch what Trump does, rather than what he says. Trump's words are generally lies, rambling rants or undependable at best, but his actions are all that matters in the end. Glory to Ukraine and it's brave people! 🇺🇦
It's merely a slip of the Presidential lips, silly person. He actually meant he's "ended six warts" that dear friend Vladimir had festering on his popochka.
Only if one values that woke so called "education."
Who needs education when one merely needs to watch Fox News dutifully regurgitating only the wise wisdom of our exalted leader, Donald Trump?
Trump - "Now see this, you foreign so called President of Ukolele or whatever you call your so-called country, if you suffered from Bone Spurs as I did, you'd be singing a different tune in that weird Ukolele language of yours. and not be seen hanging out with those losers in silly army outfits."
Surely you know that President Trump has his priorities straight, at all times and in all ways: and Trump's will, will be done, excluding of course, those special intimate moments with dear Vladimir.
In other words (in a Trump sense) NATO countries can count upon nothing at all from the US.
Our National Jerkoff, er, President Trump spent half the the news conference again dissing Biden for...whatever comes to mind - such a brilliant mind, as he so often reminds us. And Trump tells us that soon he's going to accomplish such a deal that he will doubtless get the Nobel Prize, so there.
Trump is a exemplary example of cruelty, ignorance and stupidity combined in one individual. The political culture that simultaneously ignored and/or encouraged those characteristics then vaulted him into the Oval Office, similarly has little to commend it.
I very much hope to see those ill gotten dollars someday impounded by a sentencing court and subsequently used to assist the sick, the needy and the hungry.
No NATO, no "deal." "Deals" are not Diplomacy, they are ruses for rubes...
Some GOPers' stupidity is exceeded only by their eagerness to demonstrate it.
🇮🇹🇺🇸🇺🇦
Trump looks like he forgot to change his Depends and just noticed it...
What did he say? My hearing is not the best and reading is even worse. Did Trump say he wanted the Mobile Piss Prize?
No surprise there. Weren't his Russian loyal comrade priests seen burning secret papers behind the Lavra cathedral during the Revolution of Dignity? It was shown by media reporters live as they were doing their hurried burning during live coverage of the event.
I sure hope we never again vote for a president who paints his face like an overripe orange.
Well, at very least, GOP can congratulate themselves that everything is going to plan...
Oh, big surprise, I never expected Trump & family is in any way involved in corruption in any way, shape or form!
After all, it would be silly to have the leader of the defending nation present when you only care about making a deal with the leader of the invading nation.
Can brown shirted stormtroopers be far behind? ICE can readily be redesignated as polICE at the whim of those running the country now.
The first thing he'll likely do to beautify DC is to rename it the District of Donald.
Today I learned you can laugh and cry at the same time.
I find Bluesky to be a friendlier and generally emotionally healthier place than X ever was or is. People here have both empathy and adaptability. I'm happier expressing myself here and even if there may be disagreements among people here, it is almost always resolved amicably and with civility
Watch some genius in the House GOP put up a resolution for a vote to replace the 50 stars in the national flag with little Trump profiles, but of course in gold, instead of that Woke white star. Then another will propose that we rename the nation as the Trump States of America. Because why not?
Kind of says it all, doesn't it?
Well, what else can we expect from the Great State of Taxus?
A rule of nature is that every thing eventually declines and ends. This is true of every object, process, system or life form in the universe. It's true of countries including our own, for there's nothing slowing or stopping the destructive effects of corrupt political forces in the USA today.
Welcome to the Trump States of America. Papers please. You're a US citizen you say? We'll see.
"Yuri, I told you to close the frigging window before we started our assault briefing!" - Last words of the Russian squad leader, probably.
Only those with no hearts would not, yes, of course.
