Love that there is not a single mainstream media source calling any of this out. They’re all part of the game, too.

Ummm…is the thought that a democrat led congress would be doing something? Cause, history says otherwise.
Love it. None of it will happen. Democrats suck at winning elections, and then suck even more at achieving goals. I’m hopeful, but pessimistic.
Minority view it seems, but trash cans are not designed to hold food, are not food safe, and I just can’t get past that part of the video.
Would impact? Would? Has anyone polled been to a store?
Too bad he didn’t call out the bill does not actually exempt tips from taxation. You know…a fact.
Wait wait wait…WHO has to pay the tariff????
Looking forward to your action, Senator. Please post the bill that you introduce here.
Isn’t that you? Did you introduce any legislation lately?
Does the average American even realize how much the Trump administration has raised their taxes while simultaneously increasing the price of…everything?
@Scott Baio: this is not the flex you think it is.
NYTimes says the move has “little precedent.” The article doesn’t mention any other precedent or similar case. Why not just say it’s off the rails and unprecedented? #sanewashing www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
This has been brought up before…and is only relevant as it proves the point: is there a less sloppy person than Stephanopoulos? WTF is he talking about?
To be fair, the argument is that the data is skewed. That DC wildly underreported crimes to make the stats look better. However, I’ve yet to hear anyone cite the data they use to draw that conclusion (other than anecdotal stories), nor have they described how they will now measure success.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
Disagree with the “well trained.” Community policing is not part of the normal training plan for guardsmen. But I share your concerns with ICE.
It’s not even a question of trust (for me at least). This is outside their scope. They do not have the training. The objectives are unclear. High risk.
Tell me the president doesn’t understand the economy without telling me the president doesn’t understand the economy.
He literally has “Trump 2028” hats. s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1...
Right. Until they do.
A deeper question: if you stop illegal border crossings, which they claim they did, and remove people here illegally, which they claim they’re doing…why would you need to own planes? Isn’t the number of people facing deportation shrinking? Won’t it reach zero? Unless…you need to remove citizens.
The guy went to Wharton. I’m sure they’re proud to count him among their alumnus.
Why are they whispering?
And he was called out for it by…none present. Few afterwords. We just accept everything he says.
If there was a real reporter on that room, they would have said “follow-up question: Trump himself voted by mail in the most recent elections. Why did he participate if he feels it’s not secure ?”
Trump. Himself. Voted. By. Mail. If we had a media, they would report that EVERY time he derided voting absentee. He did it. His VP did it. It’s common. It’s also secure.
Yeah but the phone search is free.
Still fired, though. Better than a felony, but agreed this is not “justice.”
He’s calling other people “problematic.” Wow.
Strange the media never reports that while declaring crime is out of control in DC, the Trump Administration cut local law enforcement funding? And they’re sending in PFC Smith who actually works at Kinkos and is trained as a mechanic for the national guard to be a local cop instead?
Don’t forget…installing himself as chairman of the Kennedy center. And appointing himself as the host of their annual awards…And maybe even presenting himself an award next year. Isn’t it shocking that this is all true?
Not even 8 months in his term…How does he have so many scandals involving his vacation somewhere? Also, remember when Bill Clinton shut down LAX for hours so he could get a haircut by some celebrity hairdresser? It’s not a republican or democrat thing. It’s an entitled prick thing.
You cannot complain about crime stats…or job stats…or any other such numbers without explaining what data set you are looking at that doesn’t support the official numbers. And they never can point to anything but some anecdotal story about something they heard. It’s madness.
It was a terrible wordle day. That shouldn’t be a wordle word.
apple.news/AzEDOoX49QrS... DOGE only saved a fraction of what they claimed, and the long term costs are incalculable.
Not. That. Anyone. Will. Call. You. Out. For. It. Congrats. This is the foundation of this entire administration.
So, I’m curious what part of the Smithsonian charter has it subject to presidential review? Or is this just another thing we’re all going to accept?
It’s just like the DC situation. They claim the data that shows crime has plummeted is incorrect. But cannot state what data they are using to draw that conclusion, nor how they plan to correct the data coming in so we measure their success.
Serious question: can you do a “wheelie” in an ATV? And, I’m not a frequent visitor to DC, but I have been there and used to live in MD, so visited frequently. I never once. Not even once. Saw an ATV inside the District of Columbia. Are we talking about the same place?
So, I love seeing the right argue that the stats are doctored or rigged or underreported in some way. Let’s assume that’s true. I wonder why the focus isn’t on fixing the stats FIRST vs chasing the phantom bad guys.
Just fyi: Trump can literally do anything. Anything. There are no checks on his power. Zero. We might as well disband congress.
MEANWHILE, let’s ban mRNA vaccines. I guess they didn’t contribute enough to the RNC.
It’s amazing how great the stats can get when you limit the data set to a very specific time period.
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files
Texas voters. Remember. Well, there’s this one time they killed a lot of brown people. They remember that. But…really nothing else. Just ask about their power grid.
Collins. Do we really need to say anymore?
Collected. From. Whom. Why is the media allowing this?
In all fairness, there’s New York City and New York State…he was the governor of NY State until he …well, wasn’t…and he may be confusing the state history with the city history. He’s still a piece of shit.
You know that scene in Rain Man where the doctor asks Raymond how much things cost and his answer for everything is “about a hundred dollars?” That’s Andrew Cuomo.
Jokes on you they still won’t be released
Others have claimed only the grass is gone, but it appears all the roses have been removed. Awful.
Same. I still don’t know how I solved or what the word means. It’s a bad wordle day.
This is the way. No peeling, no seeding. Just gently cook them down. Love it.
Wait wait wait….are you saying higher prices impact spending? Wow. Who knew.
Here’s the thing: there’s a massive security advantage to allies buying your fighters. We’re throwing that away. For no reason.
I doubt she knows what year it is let alone what day. She’s been out to pasture for years.
Predictions. Predictions. How is this person a sitting US senator? How is she in such an important role and such an idiot? I hate this timeline.
This whole DOGE thing was a farce to give Musk access to an enormous amount of data and in reality their actions have cost more than any reported savings, in more ways than one.
It’s all theatre. It’s such a joke.
Fuck off. You’re a MAGA republican who got us here. Just fuck off.
Susan Collins is a terrible person and has helped to get us here
“And why did you employ young women who were 16, and by some accounts as young as 14 years old? Isn’t that inappropriate?” Said no one. Not one of the reporters present. Again, it’s really cool to tide on Air Force 1 and none of them want to risk it by doing their job.
The guy went to Wharton. I feel like they have to be doing the Picard face palm every time he makes an economic announcement.
The guy who doesn’t understand fourth grade math is sure the professional who ran the Bureau of Labor Statistics is wrong.
Sadly, this is totally believable and expected.
Stop with your facts. You’re going to upset MAGA folks who might accidentally see this.
-ahead of being pardoned. Ahead of her anticipated pardon? Which phrase is more palatable to the chickenshit media? Oops… now you gotta give another $54m to the Trump library
Nor did it mean the end of the transportation of enslaved people, which they continued to do for years. Still a step in the right direction. History just wishes it had been a bigger step.
The media reports on the initial jobs report number and never follows up with the corrected number. It’s a scam.
Newspapers sell headlines. These drive clicks and eyeballs. The truth/ facts are irrelevant. In 2025 the N.Y. Times is basically buzzfeed.
We don’t hear much about DOGE now. I guess after gutting federal agencies, producing no savings, costing taxpayers billions in paying government employees to literally not go to work, and finally turning over access to government systems to unaccountable parties, big balls et all just bounced.
Fun fact no one talks about: corn syrup is a direct byproduct of government policy that incentivises corn production, part of the farm policy republicans have been pushing for decades. Makes more sense to just end the subsidies that make corn syrup cheaper than cane sugar
I can’t be the only one to think people are reading WAY too much into the #sydneysweeney #americaneagle ads? Attractive model used to sell product. Oldest tool in the adman’s toolbox. That’s it. How are you getting eugenics from this?
Yay! Profit from the demise of America! See! Democrats are capitalists, too!
They have left the uterus. The pro life movement no longer cares about them.
Shocker. To anyone not paying attention.
Also, people who support the strike may buy the same stuff from the same businesses on Friday or Sunday. Which again is basically the same business day.
The problem with this type of strike is it has zero impact. Target date is a Saturday. Most transactions from Friday evening through Monday morning will roll into Monday anyway. So, there’s no measurable change.
So, the “A” stands for “always.” Please don’t make me define that for you.
More importantly: they are here legally. They followed the process. Our broken, Byzantine process. And have contributed…both financially to Social Security and to our economy as a whole. No one benefits from this action. Unless your goal is ”no brown people.”
Kai is the only member of the media I’ve heard state (repeatedly) that a social media post is not a trade deal. Which of course is true. And shows how the media is failing us.
Great. Now we have to endure this asshole on his book tour on all the late night shows. Basically doing everything BUT being a US senator. I wonder how many votes he’ll miss due to his book tour?
Anyone who advocates teaching from the bible has not read the bible.
Better question: why tariffs at all? No one has answered this. We’ve heard: a) to pay for child care (?) b) to bring manufacturing back to the US c) to force other countries to negotiate better trade deals d) punishment for fentanyl e) punishment for indicting former presidents
Exactly! It’s unbelievable that the media reports on a social media post as a “signed trade deal”. It’s like: Look, I just bought a house! No mortgage. No papers. No agreement between buyer and seller. No closing date. But, it’s a nice house. Do you see the problem?
Huge asterisk: the “deals” with Japan and others have only been announced on social media. We have yet to see the written details and in fact there are already conflicting stories on the details.
Tariffs are a regressive tax that targets consumption and hits middle class and working class people the most. Pay attention: this is the “right way” in the current administration.
I expect they’ll just ask him about his favorite color.
Wait, wait, wait wait. The deal that was announced online and not written down anywhere is now being interpreted as different by the two sides? Crazy. Art of the deal.
“I took Josh Hawley’s advice” is the least sage thing I’ve ever heard an old man say.
Apparently Jeff bezos is looking to buy cnbc so it will soon be talking about the guy who was last in office 8 years ago.
It’s crazy that they spend so much time on Obama (retired), Hillary (retired), Biden (out to pasture long ago). It’s weird. Can we go one day without them mentioning one of those three? Just one?
I question it, so it’s not unquestionable. And somehow our republic existed for a long time without this essential task. Either way, the ratio of online activity to actual lawmaking should be something like 9:1. It’s currently 1000:1 posting.
Its also not evenly distributed. I’m 51 and the Guadalupe River Valley has had 3 “hundred year” floods in my lifetime.
First, as of today’s close, Tesla’s market cap is over $1T. It’s valued higher than Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai-Kia, General Motors, Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi, Ford, and Honda—COMBINED. And they represent the top automakers by sales. It has a long way to fall until its valuation is rational.
The least shocking NYTimes headline of 2025: Trump Administration Live Updates: Attorney General Alerted Trump His Name Appeared in Epstein Files www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...
“And here’s what I’m doing about it!” “Here’s the legislation I’m introducing!” “Here’s the bill I wrote” WHY DO NONE OF YOU MFERS EVER SAY THAT? Stop posting to social media. Do your job.
Wow. Just wow. So much to unpack here. And there are millions who believe this.
The sitting US president posts AI generated slop routinely. Latest one was Obama being arrested in the oval office.
You beat me to it by a few minutes. Must be a fellow history major.
