The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

Gonna keep reposting this @timdickinson.bsky.social / me item: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
I think some of the replies are missing the point. Trump is in a position to allow or disallow any competing firms to get involved in crypto. WLFI allows foreign influence campaigns to pay his family, directly billions of dollars. All the wild his regulators keep competing platforms away
Gutfeld is a piece of shit. No class, no decency, no shame. If his parents are still alive they ought to be embarrassed by how he turned out.
Courts are useless. Said Biden didn’t have power to forgive a student loan, same courts say Trump has power of a god and even if he doesn’t, well he’ll, we should just let him do what he wants.
Trump claims he got intel stock for nothing, $11bn in upside. Bullshit. It was a deal Biden made under CHIPs act, and had restrictions. Trump waived those restrictions, getting paid off in stock. Intel CEO diluted his shareholders to bribe Trump.
“.. The Oval Office photos don’t resolve those questions. They raise them. And until the press decides to treat Trump’s health the way it treated Biden’s, makeup and memos will remain the White House’s first—and last—line of defense.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
Her credentials: she once came in third place for Miss Colorado.
Someone needs to chock his wheels.
RFK is to healthcare what Steven Miller is to hair care
He can diagnose kids just by glancing at them in airports. No medical training, no experince, he just “knows”. It’s that kind of magical thinking that will kill us all.
What a godly and Christian fellow right? I mean it is the Christian thing to do to cover up for a statistic pedophile.
Did he have his fingers in his ears while he repeated la la la la la la la I can’t hear you? This is a guy who believes in a magical book that should guide all of his decisions, but doesn’t believe in science medicine or data. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised after all. He is from Louisiana
This guy plays the holy roller but he’s really just as much of a snake in the grass as any of them. He does all that he can and support of Donald Trump. He cares nothing about decency or his supposed Christian values.
FFS Biden was castigated for forgiving student loans and ultimately SCOTUS ruled Biden didn’t have the authority to do so. But Trump? Same SCOTUs made him king. This country is a joke, these people are simply mad.
Fuck Cassidy. He had the chance to stop this, he had sound reasons to stop RFK but he lacked the balls to do so.
The point has always been to slowly but deliberately move the needle towards a consolidation of power in the hands of one man, the orange god-king.
Fuckin goon puts his hands on a kid. Seems like the kind of guy who goes home, has a beer and beats his wife. Fuck this guy.
How many decisions in this admin are being made by rich weirdo South Africans? Fuckin Peter Theil?? FFS
Interesting strategy cotton, let’s see if it works out for him.
I would note that as a 58 year-old white man that it is the women of color who are holding power to account. It will be the women of color who save us from ourselves. And I couldn’t be prouder to support them.
“…trans ideology..”? WTF are these people even talking about? FFS, even if we could reconcile with these jerkwads, why would we want to?
No. And even if there was once a chance, now that Trump gets his private army of quick reaction force/national guardsman and tens of thousands of ice agents, he’ll have his own brown shirts and he will never leave.
This goes without saying but Trump doesn’t think that rules apply to him. He said it himself; he’s the president, he can do whatever he wants. And polls suggests that at least 53% of likely Republican voters would give him a third term. I just don’t understand how to reconcile those 2 concepts.
Mush mouth and human thumb thinks it’s okay to send secret police to disappear people b/c BLM protestors wore masks? Fuckin genius logic there tom, just fuckin genius. I’m sure the folks who ONLY see Fox News are on board, but it’s still disgusting to see how far we’ve fallen.
I suppose this is the genius of the America first mentality. Elect a clown with a clever slogan and then somehow expect that to work? This jackass in his erratic tariff plan has no rhyme nor reason. He’s made things significantly worse for American manufacturers.
Crazy how concentrated exposure to AI is driving GDP and stock market gains. If AI stumbles, and it will as winners pull ahead of losers, it will ripple back thru economy and cause havoc. Market overspent on new tech before, and it’s doing so again
Wait, that bitch hasn’t been buried yet?
The price of eggs…something, something, autopen… This is what maga is all about. Whitewashing and rewriting history we all witness in real time. It’s an affront to our intelligence. It’s an affront to decency.
Heroes
My son lived in Indiana for 2 yrs of grad school. Area around IU seemed really nice, “except for all the nazis” he would say. Where do you see nazis? Walmart, all the time. One guy, who actually was overly polite, even had a swastika tattooed on his face. Indiana continues to disappoint
Cory is now kristi Noems assistant at DHS? But the two of them have already acknowledged that there were a couple or trouble or something. Is there anyone in this administration who isn’t a freak or a public embarrassment?
Don’t threaten me with a good time sean. Just do us all the favor of getting the fuck out and going very very far away. New York is congested and it’s dirty and loud but the one thing that would make it worse would be the chance of running into a douche bag like you.
Totally on brand. The military purge the general responsible for the bomb damage assessment in Iran. They fired the head of labor statistics because they got a bad job number. They fired the CIA analyst because she truthfully says that the summit resulted in nothing. They are controlling info flow
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Trey Gowdy can go fuck himself to death. Then Trey can also be with Him.
So Trump sent the navy task force 3 destroyers & a marine expeditionary force to the coast of Venezuela for what? Shits and giggles? Recall that as president he operates in our name. He is committing our military to picking up trash in DC or potentially taking out Venezuela. Clearly, the guys a nut.
JVL makes the case that all is already lost. And it’s hard to argue with that. Less that 1/3 of Americans are trump enthusiasts, but that’s likely enough for this to be the end of us.
Trump doesn’t need voter support anymore. He will never sit through another election. He doesn’t give a shit what voters think. He said it yesterday. As a president, he thinks he can do whatever it is that he wants and so far no one has been able to stand up to him. Coequal branches of gov’t? My ass
Again, it’s only a woman with the balls to say what needs to be said. Where is Jamie dimon? where are the captains of industry? Where are those who owe their existence to the Fed, which bailed them out in 2008? they’re cowering in their office sucking up to Trump. This is a goddamn travesty.
I’m a US Army veteran as is my father before me. I took pride when Millie refused Trump‘s order to have federal troops move protesters out of DC during his first administration. Then Hegseth retooled the defense department with idiots and boot lickers, and now these soldiers are reduced to props.
Resorting to stupid slogans or creating false economies like if your anti-national guard deployment you are a pro crime is a specialty of Fox News but only possible viewers are that’s stupid or that willing to accept bullshit arguments.
Context: The guard is picking up trash in DC because Trump and the Republicans gutted DC & the parks budgets.
How quickly he pivots to something sensational after even he recognizes he should never have said “I can do anything I want cause I’m the president.” he really thinks he has unlimited power and he’s probably too stupid to be taught that that’s not true.
The sad part is that his policy of repeating lies until people believe that they’re true has worked so far. Well, it should be an indictment of this man it also served as an indictment of the American public. This man is a shameless creep fraudster & scumbag.if u don’t know that by now u never will.
Unprecedented. Things that just don’t happen (like firing at the Fed) seem to happen all the time now. Unless the courts stand up, which Congress refuses to do, we are pretty well forked
It’s a perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration. He’s told he doesn’t have the authority to do something and he says yeah well we’ll do it anyway. In this case, he’s probably right Congress has effectively invalidated themselves.
Intel CEO diluted his shareholder so that he could keep his job. President extorted shares from the CEO by threatening his job. Lawlessness on both sides. Neither one of these idiots. Neither one of these selfish bastards deserves what they got.
It’s the obituary we are all waiting for
What’s the share of Americans who thought Biden didn’t have or deserve power to forgive student loans? Venn diagram of those same folks who believe trumps private army should walk American streets.
Damn Jessica, you work at Fox. You of all people should know that hypocrisy is not a problem for these guys. Of course it was socialism under Biden, but under Trump it’s just good business.
I don’t think looking for Trump‘s reasoning will bear any fruit. The man’s a chimp. But what does this say about the Intel CEO? That he would dilute his shareholders and give away 10% just to save his job? I mean, that is exactly what happened no?
This is where you start to pay attention. He’s creating the legal basis for his own personal army to patrol city streets. He’s claiming the National Guard will train people and then deploy them into cities based on trumps whims. He’s creating a federal police force that answers directly to him.
How does anybody stand in that room and listen to this verbal diarrhea and not just bust out laughing? The man is truly a moron and he spews absolute stupidity. And still like 30% of voters support this guy. I guess I just didn’t realize how many morons live amongst us.
In old days, like 100 days ago, gun nuts cited 2nd Amendment as evidence founders wanted militia managed by states and populace armed as a check against federal tyranny. Now they want all militia federalized and mobilized against brown people and liberals. Republicans are fascists.
MPD again earns their reputation for being petty, feckless goons. Neighbors kid is DCFD and says MPD rarely shows up on site. Firefighters are left to respond to those injured in shooting or stabbing without any police support. Cause these goons are out in force arresting a guy with a camera.
I fucking hate this guy. 3 1/2 more years of this bullshit
Oldest trick in the book. Vicious gang members hide out as hardworking landscapers for YEARs to lull us into complacency, and then….. these fuckin ICE goons are such an affront to everything this country stood for, until Trump got elected
$4 trillion? Currently collecting @$30bn/month means $4trillion in just 133 months. (That’s 11 years assuming stable collections )
So it turns out Rogan might not be a dumb as a rock. He just needs a year or so to consider shit which was obvious to the rest of the world in real time.
Jack White is so badass and I love it.
Texas State representatives, Congresswoman Crockett, and now KBJ on the court. it appears that it’ll be black women that save us if we’re worth saving at all
Oh no! Mississippi has gone dark. Oh no. Where are we gonna get all of our cousin-lovin toothless opinions from?
Poorly trained, hyper aggressive goons with NO incentive to de-escalate. These douchebags will kill someone’s before the weekends over
His pressers are now indistinguishable from parody. His bat-shit crazy makes it obvious: you’re either anti-Trump or you’re a maga cultist (with all the autocratic and racism baggage to boot) simple, stark choice. Good luck America.
How do we ever get past this. Trump will die sooner or later. But the people who supported him, the people who wanted this will still be here and there’s a lot of them. I just don’t see how we ever live peacefully with those people ever again.
Every day is another norm busted, a law broken another step towards the fall of this country.
Yeah this sounds right, cause blaring into peoples ears that this is all bullshit has been SO effective so far. JVL would have Powell self immolate as the right-thing-to-do but the American public will just yawn. Trump pardoned 1500 cop beaters and they didn’t care. Powell can’t make them care
14 goons pretty much doing nothing while completely unmarked jet waits for unfortunates to load themselves. 14 goons all collecting pay and earning pension points.
And he threatened state of CO if they don’t release Tina Peters. Fuckin crazy times.
No shit. In the words of John McClain: “welcome to the party, pal”
Neediest, pettiest man alive and some stupid bastards decided to make him president.
Their Trump goes again promising a good time. When he threatened you as bad things, consequences you gotta wonder if the same consequences he applied to Putin.
Today’s goon squad video. Note how these agents conduct themselves. No level of professionalism. They resort immediately to threatening the mother and father of their target. I’m gonna go get your mom. I’m gonna go get your dad. That’s what he said. Just disgusting conduct.
Trump: "They gave me $600 billion. And that’s a gift... That’s not a loan... There’s nothing to pay back. They gave us $600 billion that we can invest in anything we want.” European Union: Me: “He didn’t get a penny” White House spox: ”Pointless nitpicking” www.cnn.com/2025/08/22/p...
Do you ever wonder what goes through their minds those guys were in the masks and arresting these poor people? Do you think they care? Do you think they feel bad? Do you think they even give a shit? This can’t be what they signed up for. And yet they go out and do it every day. Dozens of times.
Something like 77 million Americans pulled the lever for this jackass and the rest of us have to put up w his shit til he dies. If you happen to know, one of those voters do me a favor, kick him in the balls for me.
Texas will not require, and therefore will not seek any public input on their mid decade gerrymander. But California will. Fox continues to just spread lies and disinformation.
F’ing Kilmeade. Flubs the math on polls and then denounces DEM for not “coming out against” whatever imagined scandal Fox dreamed up only to be corrected that such denunciation HAD been issued. He didnt utter a truthful word during the interview. Scumbag. Total scumbag
She’s been holding a job since July illegally. Google it.
Everything is a golf course to these fuckers
Best evidence yet that this skank isn’t worthy of the AG job, b/c she thinks her job is to “respect the president”. We are so far beyond simple politics. These people are cultists and they will be the ruin of us all
Byron beclowned himself attempting to earn a Trump nod and got dropped like rock. So f’ing thirsty for attention
Stinging dissent by KBJ and every word is warranted
Skanks gonna skank, whether Johnny law likes it or not
Texas voters no longer have power to elect their reps, Paxton has taken that away, simply b/c Trump wanted him to. I didn’t know Texas voters were such wimps that they’d so easily surrender their power, their democracy to a scumbag like Paxton
Yeah, it’s a cool joke that the National Guard is being used as local police and the JAG officers will be used as prosecutors. I mean it’s not a joke and that it’s not funny and it’s not a joke and that a sitting US senator would say this. Tillis a pussy. nothing to lose but still working for Trump
Yo mayors, swearing oath to during what’s called their swearing in ceremony you pathetic fucking dunce. I swear Trump has searched high and low for every mediocre C- student they could find and gave them positions of authority.
Yeah. Selfish, insular, petty and myopic. In other words, they suck as human beings. And there about 50 million of them across the American electorate. How do we live with these people? Even after Trump finally strikes out, we will still be left w 50 million problems
Exactly.
Riley Gaines tied for 6th behind 4 other born-female swimmers and that dunce has parlayed that race into a career. So why not have the third runner-up in a beauty pageant run your museum purge. It’s all offensively stupid but perfectly on brand for MAGA. Those morons will destroy this country
She drunk? “DC is the capital of our city”? Slurring the word Smithstonian at least 3 times? The caliber of people on right wing is pretty appalling. Female qualifications seem focused on 1980s Country/Western singer looks. Which does seem right up trumps alley.
This gutless fucker still has a seat in senate and continues to do trumps bidding. Even in retirement, this dude is feckless and utterly devoid of integrity. Fuck him. Because he has so little to lose, this boot-licking makes him worse than any other Republican.
Decrease the murder rate by 35% just nine days? It is fascinating how often they site statistics that they just conjured out of the air while blatantly denying the reality of statistics that don’t prove their point.
Wow, this is bad. This guy condemns what he says is mortgage fraud, and the next breath claims that Trump was totally innocent despite the fact that he was convicted Then he notes it’s a crime to lie on a loan application to secure better terms. Which is exactly the crime. Trump was convicted o
The program is voluntary and nonreimbursable. Show their pictures if you wanna go to the border and support US service men who have been deployed to the border will let you go on your own dime. This is incredibly stupid. They’re mining their own employees for free help,seems both sad and desperate
California needs a referendum to do the same. Under Abbott and Paxton, Texas just jammed this down everyone’s throat. They specifically targeted five mostly Black congressional districts. This is undemocratic this is an American and this is blatantly racist.period
Trump admin didn’t do this alone, the media helped. The media could have focused on inaction by TX and FEMA but were too busy chasing trumps shiny objects.Hes a 1 trick pony and these dopes haven’t figured out how to cover him despite having 10yrs of practice
Wait. You mean to say that Kash is lying? On Fox News? And the lie is easily proven because the purpose of the warrant was actually written on that same warrant? Shocking.
Today’s goon squad video shows why it costs billions in thugs. 8 agents sent to arrest migrant and it still spirals into mayhem. And this wasn’t worst of the worst, just a regular working guy.
