Half-human, half-Vulcan, from the future AND from an alternative universe -- thus has trouble using logic to grasp today's political climate.

Indeed. JD Vance will never lead a cult. His own supporters can barely stand him.
A reality show contestant running a railroad? What could go wrong.
I know a witness. Glad she did not get a sub-poena to testify.
These cultists fail to impress: They have not painted their faces dark orange.
Trump is profoundly stupid - we all know that. But what depresses me is that the entire (former) Republican party is all-in on this madness. Biggest cult in world history, bar none.
It's called a "bribe."
He is anticipating lunch; his jaws are dislocating already.
"This is GOLD, Mister Bond. All my life I've been in love with its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness; I welcome any enterprise which will increase my stock -- which is considerable."
Funky Cold Edema?
Funky cold edema, even.
That's a good one. Some wag has been printing out this code on stickers and placing them on vending machines and such.
Ripley and Hicks had the right idea in Aliens - it’s the only way to be sure.
That’s, for lack of a better term, logical.
A convicted felon is excited to welcome a war criminal. Welcome to 2025.
Most people don't owe billions of dollars to Putin. Putin doesn't have kompromat on most people.
Gold and black? Bold choice.
One suspects that the camera the OP was recording with would either be "accidentally" destroyed or the files erased, meaning there would be no video to post, and no evidence to back up any complaint. Trump has basically given them carte blanche to excessive violence without repercussions.
Lead is a naturally occurring element. Lead has many, many uses in industry. Therefore, Lee Zeldin's logic, he should have no objections if we dump lead into his water supply.
Time to fire more federal employees!
51-50 again? That is my bet.
Exactly. So Trump can control the numbers reflecting the job market and inflation. Which is why he's installing a lapdog flunky in that role. Logical (if one is a sociopath).
I hear he's opened up a dialogue with East Germany, as well.
"Crime, Bloodshed, Bedlam and Squalor" would, in fact, be a good band name.
I wonder how the World Cup and Olympics will play out in the US in 2026 and 2028, respectively. It's possible that we'll have some form of representative govt next year, but any Hispanic soccer fans who were thinking of attending might re-think it. By 2028, we'll be Gilead.
St Louis has a violent crime rate 2.2x of DC’s.
Sadly inevitable.
This is how the GOP will stay in power in the 2026 election. "The following cities are out of control, so today, Nov 2, 2026, I've deployed federal agents and soldiers to block off all elementary schools." GOP gains 40 seats.
Ropes around Jefferson's statue? I missed that one.
Indeed. The average GOP voter is responsible for this. All of it. All because they couldn't stand the idea of female POC president.
The cruelty is the point.
Moving to a more tolerant state is only a temporary reprieve, unfortunately; it’s only a matter of time until the party of “state’s rights” makes band like SD’s national.
When your DNI is a proven Russian asset, such activities were inevitable.
One wonders what happened to the "day one" promise.
I meant, he can't be prosecuted while president. And he will never stop being president, until he's carried out of the WH. Hence, no prosecution.
Call Girl. Please.
Unisys. Sort of.
…and immune to prosecution. Handy.
Indeed. But who is “they?” Pam Bondi’s DoJ? Ron DeSantis’ state police? Unlikely.
The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82. Am I doing this right?
Blessed be the fruit.
I predicted this back in the Bad Place - DT will order the agencies responsible for economic data to fudge their numbers. If they won't, they're fired and replaced with someone who will. It's a national version of his golf scores (at courses he owns).
NW DC. Oof.
If you're in SW DC today with children, be alert - this registered sex offender was rumored to be near 1600 Pennsy Ave NW.
Obviously we can only speculate, but I am sure it was completely innocent.
Weird. I thought Angel Hernandez had retired.
My Twitter contact left the company around the time Elon let all the Nazis back in, but shortly before that he confirmed to me that Snowflake Danny still had the most blocks of any checkmarked account -- by a considerable margin. He is such a gutless little yellow coward. Always has been.
Facts: 1. Maxwell is a perjurer 2. GM will say anything to get a pardon 3. It is impossible to report negative DT info and keep your job in govt 4. DT is obsessed with deflection Speculation: GM will swear that Clinton repeatedly abused underage girls, and will get a pardon I see no other outcome.
Stunningly obvious.
Karma is a harsh mistress.
Frankly it should be worse - Elon and x have gone full nazi, the cyber truck is a disaster, fighting with Trump AND alienating the traditional Tesla base. Who would buy one? stocks.apple.com/ALKa9SG5ATNC...
Johnson's position amounts to, "Well since the Democrats had a coverup, we're allowed to have one as well." My granddaughter often uses this logic regarding bad behavior. She's four.
If they change it to "First Escort," then maybe.
Well, that was inevitable. Perhaps the Daily Stormer can now get that coveted spot?
Thanks, Biden.
I was ambivalent about the team name until someone asked me, what is a more offensive term for a Native American? I could not come up with one. You wouldn’t call a team the most offense term for blacks, Hispanics, Jews, middle easterners, etc., so….
Somewhere, Ronald Reagan is beaming with joy. “This is EXACTLY the kind of Republican Party I wanted to create.”
That raises an interesting thought: What if this were planned, and it's a way for Murdoch to give Trump a billion dollar donation, all in the open? (Pre-2016 me would find this sort of conspiracy thinking ridiculous.)
CBS/Paramount not only caved, but fired Colbert as well. Hard to say how far News Corp will go to remain in Dear Leader's favor.
Normally, the threat of a lawsuit would be laughable, especially since it would involve discovery. Now, however, after so many media networks have dropped to their knees in the face of a Trump lawsuit, who knows what Murdoch will do.
Professionals cost money. Just like tailors.
Indeed. If they are admitting this, it surely must be far, far worse. Considering his lifestyle - fast food, no exercise, staggering adderall addiction - it is actually a wonder that he has made it thus far.
Perhaps he is?
I sincerely wish Trump's former AG would speak up about the current scandal, then we could see chyrons referencing "Epstein Barr Syndrome" every night. Please tip your wait staff.
Neal Stephenson's "Termination Shock" can no longer be branded as fiction -- it's happening. How do I invest in EarthSuits?
Every once in a while, he actually gets something right.
We have a court majority that is taking its lead from the president: Never admit to anything, attack accusers, exploit the position for personal gain, and always maintain a unified front, regardless of the truth. Barrett has occasionally strayed from that last, as has Roberts, but the rest? Meh 2/2
@wired.com does a great job with these expert videos, and this one is no exception. The entire 30m video is worth watching, but this last segment is thought-provoking: Even if you did have a USSC-AG, Alito and Thomas would simply ignore its rulings. 1/2 youtu.be/x_iMNnVpVQw?...
TL;DR: The worst states are all deep red, other than one (OK, AR, AL, GA, LA, UT, IN, TX, TN) Go figure. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/14/a...
Underrated post.
WGAF?
I noticed that as well. As recently as last week, one could view the posts (but not the responses) anonymously. No more. Fascinating.
Keep in mind, he launched his political "career" by promising to tell all the juicy secrets he overheard while at the USSS. One of many reasons he remains a pariah on H St -- agents NEVER talk, regardless of their politics, because protectees put complete trust in their agents.
^Bingo. Well-said.
As much as it would be great to see Snowflake Danny out of the FBI, DT will just replace him with someone worse. Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Laura Loomer... it is not like we are going to get a career FBI official.
Um, no. He's using that as an excuse. 1. He's been complaining about how hard the work is for some time. 2. Even he's smart enough to know that he's woefully unqualified. 3. He's failed at everything except being an online troll - fired from the USSS, devastated in every election. 4. He's lazy.
Wow. Space is really, really big.
O's and Nats fans can rejoice: We're not QUITE this bad. (Wish he'd gotten the tag at third, because I don't think I've ever scored a putout as 1-6-9-5.)
That's the funny part (well, ironic): He's not Christian, but is in fact a proud Jew. He even dubbed himself the "Hebrew Hammer." He used to attend temple in Melbourne, but was kicked out/quite (depends on whom you ask) because of their tolerance of LGBQT. He's a veydl, for sure.
There is always a red line? No?
Because of the leadership at the time - had DT been in charge on 12/7/41, he'd have said "Well I called the Emperor, and he was very nice to me and says they didn't do it," so I've sold the remaining carriers to Japan." 9/11 Civil War Cuba 1961 Spanish Flu WWII We had competent leaders in each case.
Headline corrected: Linda Yaccarino Steps Down as Pretend CEO of X.
Botox freshening, more likely.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Rubio's State Dept has no sense of irony: After all, you no longer have to travel overseas to experience kidnapping and wrongful detention... www.reddit.com/user/TravelS...
Sadly, he is not one of them.
Indeed, a very long list. Garland could have moved faster. Fani Wills could have been more discrete. Mitch Mc could have shown some courage in January 2021. (No one should say that the kid in Bulter PA should have spent more time on the range! LET'S NOT GO THERE.)
Nothing to lose? Other than his citizenship, his freedom, and quite possibly his life, as deportation, incarceration, and assassination would all be possible (in that order). Hey, I'd love to see him release it as well. But it's far from being risk-free.
This is insane. I knew Bongino. I've been to his house, more than once. He was always a mediocre agent, but also always a braggart and a liar; he would never have advanced in the USCC even if he hadn't been fired. So none of this surprises me. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...
Perhaps. But the as a setup line about the end of the world not necessarily being a bad thing was worth the payoff.
ICE now has a $40B+ budget. Which makes it, if I'm not mistaken, larger (in terms of funding) than the militaries of all but 12 countries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
She's lying. In reality, I called her the c-word.
I would, but Bluesky will be shut down long before this happens.
Article II, Section 3 will be tested in the next year. "...he may adjourn them [Congress] to such Time as he shall think proper"
It's extraordinarily easy. "I just issued an Executive Order canceling the Congressional and Senate elections in 2026, having uncovered massive registration fraud. Any results sent in will be discarded." "That's illegal." "Talk to the Supreme Court."
Correct. It's over. While "fighting back" sounds encouraging, the simple fact is that it will accomplish nothing. Yes, it's legal to protest... for now. That will change before the end of the year. The only real answer for non-MAGA is to emigrate. And it kills me to say that.
Answer to whom?
