Maybe if the group behind that concept wasn’t filled with disgusting weirdos and treated people with respect, more babies would just be a natural outcome.

Interesting that his ear doesn’t (and didn’t) show any similar damage. Does he have miraculous healing abilities or not? I’m going with “not” because the only miraculous thing about him is that he’s convinced so many idiots to disbelieve their own senses.
They probably seemed like emergencies to someone as incompetent as Trump. When you have no skills or abilities and run around like a chicken with its head cut off, lots of things might seem like emergencies to you that wouldn’t to a competent executive with an actual plan to deal with them.
It’s difficult to accept that a US president, even one as pathetic as Trump, is serving as an intermediary for Putin, a war criminal.
I trust that future Kennedy center trustees will revoke any honor Trump awards to himself.
Clearly not just a bystander as he obviously crossed well beyond the perimeter fence established by the capitol police that had been knocked down by the treasonous mob.
He understands that even GWB, who was a lousy president, was orders of magnitude better than Trump.
You better believe if I was president, Trump’s portrait would spend four years in the basement, or maybe on the wall behind a toilet, where it would be most useful.
That is like something Putin’s Russia would do.
Don’t discount the fact that in Trump’s evil brain the choices are: a) run again, despite the law, and let the Supreme Court bail you out; or b) don’t run and just take over permanently in a coup using the military that you’ve stocked with toadies.
Further proof that Trump is letting the ideologues run things while he plays golf and exacts revenge. If the GOP were interested in sound policies, they wouldn’t be worried about contradictory data. They’d be using it to craft solutions.
So instead of a $50 copay, they pay me $700? Maybe I’m naive but that doesn’t sound sustainable.
What is being done to use AI to replace C suite execs?
Meh. The next admin will undo Trump’s moronic policies.
Since they all suck at any job they’re given, does it matter if they’re given multiple jobs? It’s not like they’d be doing any better if they were in charge of a single agency.
We don’t do such a great job with white collar crime either.
That’s what the GOP is all about: surrendering the future because they are afraid to compete. Instead they try to rig the playing field to subsidize their donors’ dying industries.
Why? The GOP runs the worst criminals as candidates & promotes the worst policies and 77 million dummies vote for them. If the average voter doesn’t punish candidates for lying and engaging in criminal behavior, what incentive is there to be better? If anything, the incentive is to be just as awful.
FWIW, the Dow is nowhere near its highest.
Sure it contradicts his vow to aid the working class, but that vow was a lie.
A federal jury on Monday ordered a man who was charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to pay $500,000 to the family of a D.C. police officer who was assaulted during the riot and later killed himself.

The Watergate break-in (which happened 53 years ago this week) began the modern era of “whatever-it-takes-to-win” politics — blatant disregard of any and all norms and laws that interfered with gaining or keeping power. Trump is the logical and inevitable consequence. https://bit.ly/3QV2m4s
Will Mike Flood commit to not voting for the marked-up version of it if that provision is still in it after the Senate passes its version?
Pass it on…
Here’s a cognitive test question for Trump that the media should ask: What specifically was your score on that cognitive test you keep talking about?
He weighs 345 at least, if he weighs an ounce.
Also, whatever happened to all the so-called conservatives chanting in lockstep that the government should not be picking winners and losers in American industry? Clearly that was just code for them hating green energy and any other industry that might help us succeed in the future.
Good luck finding a flak jacket that would fit around Trump’s 335lb “body”.
What more can you expect when people put dipshits like Tuberville in charge of anything more important than a football team?
Imagine how much better off the world would be if those with the power to do so simply sidelined Trump, ignored him, and otherwise treated him like the complete, useless dipshit that he is.
The fact that Vance says they are monitoring the situation should give pause, not comfort, considering the Trump administration’s main characteristic is incompetence.
It’s maddening that society has handed over so much power to corporations, complains about the resultant injustices, and then, instead of doing something about it, hands the keys over to the party that will most accelerate the trends that are causing the problem.
I doubt such a bill would pass the Senate, so Biden wouldn’t have to veto it, but it would be nice if he could project the sense that he is still our president.
I agree that Musk is awful, but, separate and apart from everything else, based on the last few years, it’s clear that congress doesn’t deserve a raise.
Not sure they watch the MSM (or would believe it, if they did). They’re a bunch of low information voters who prefer to stay that way.
Quite the collection of dimwits, nitwits, and dipshits.
Pretty sure Jeffrey Toobin shouldn’t be lecturing anyone about dishonoring an office.
apple.news/A3_m6PrbkTyC... Hopefully this puts a smile on your face.
It’s far from perfect and definitely does all the things it’s accused of, but there is a reason people pay premiums, and it’s the same reason any insurance exists. Single payer would still be a vast improvement though.
I’m 100% in favor of single payer, but I disagree that there’s no reason for private health insurance to exist. Given the current absence of single payer, it seems obvious that private health insurance exists to allow people to avoid huge bills (or bankruptcy) in the event of a major health event.
Don’t blame Jack Smith for the fact that 76 million so-called Americans have no use for justice, personal integrity or accountability.
The only thing Marco Rubio has in common with Madeleine Albright is that they have both worn high heels.
Also, self-loathing. They know they don’t deserve any better.
What’s the over/under on how many times that lying sack of shit gets impeached this time out?
Foreign adversaries? Okay. But the actual GOP nominee has been spreading false narratives since he first descended on his stupid escalator.
Oh good lord, no. I don’t think I’d be able to walk past a rack of Che Guevara-like t-shirts with Trump’s stupid face on them without laughing.
Another conservative attempt to enrich their friends by impoverishing the rest of us.
Managed to cancel my Disney+ subscription despite Disney’s and Xfinity’s best efforts. Took about an hour. I deserve a beer and some Podium points.
Something tells me we wouldn’t have to go so far back in Trump’s family tree to find something far worse.
The Republican presidential nominee reportedly spoke from the heart as he called upon every member of the U.S. populace to stand together against one another.
"Vote for Kamala and you never have to think about Donald Trump ever again, for the rest of your life." Say it. Believe it. Live it. Spread the word.
Agreed. Not only did all of his delays endanger the secret service agents who were trying to protect him and get him out of there, but are we also supposed to believe that the shot knocked him out of his shoes? Or does he take his shoes off at the podium like a freak?
Apparently most people aged 18-29 prefer “more money for rich people” over effective government policies, which totally sucks. www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-po...
You gotta love how Roberts tries to frame the 1984 Chevron decision as made by a “bare quorum” when the exact same number of justices voted to kill it in 2024. Meanwhile, the ‘84 decision was unanimous but the ‘24 decision had three dissenters. Roberts is disingenuous at best.
The morons that always complain about how many pages long a bill is are really going to hate how long they are going to have to be after this totally misguided and amateurish decision. Roberts proves time and again that he has just absolutely terrible judgment.
“Spud” Kennedy
I guess maybe he speaks to people like him: poorly educated, dim-witted, angry, schmucks.
TRUMP: If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. Yes. If you commit 34 felonies by filing false business records to cover up election interference, you too can be convicted by a jury of your peers via the due process of our criminal justice system.
How about 6 months in prison with another 3.5 suspended as long as he doesn’t say anything about the justice system, jury, judge, prosecutors, etc? Any violation, boom, right back to serve the rest of his sentence.
I sense a pattern
Donald Trump was convicted of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal that threatened to derail his 2016 presidential campaign. He is the first U.S. president to be declared a felon. Here’s what happens next. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/30/n...

Joe Biden's age gets a lot of scrutiny, but it seems we never hear the same about Trump, who's just 3 years younger and is showing signs of serious mental decline every time he opens his mouth. And his recent campaign appearances and rants are no exception. Experts are raising the alarm.
The anti-Israel folks’ only argument is some version of STFU. What a bunch of losers.
Protest Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza all you want. But if you don’t think Israel has a right to exist, you are siding with the bad guys. Do better. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/s...
They’d rather get none of what they want and be obnoxious about it than get some of what they want.
Apparently the fact that you not voting means you're helping Trump is "vote shaming" now. Seriously stfu, grow up and stop being all "WAAAH NOTHING IS EVER MY FAULT"
Just impeach the guy already. And legislate a code of ethics for the court or curb its jurisdiction or expand it to add more liberals.
She’s pathetic.
I don’t think Netanyahu would have been willing to pull out of Gaza and the West Bank in response to October 7th. So what would you do in Israel’s place? Serious question.
Respectfully, I disagree. I think the Trail of Tears fits the definition of genocide. Looking at U.S. history, it seems clear the U.S. govt. had the intent to destroy native peoples. I don’t believe Israel wants to kill all Palestinians. They’re waging war in an urban environment. No good options.
It’s terrifying to think that the far left is going to deliver the presidency back to Trump because they can’t distinguish good from bad.
You’re free to block me.
Sad to see the folks on here are just as reactionary and unhinged as they were (and probably still are) on Twitter.
So your position is that Israel has no right of self defense? And that the war isn’t a tragedy?
Now, you’re making up fake quotes? Doesn’t say much for your arguments.
Is this supposed to scare me into keeping quiet? Israel is allowed to defend itself. Yes, the consequences are tragic, and Hamas is relying on people like you to save them from the consequences of their actions.
The only bullying going on here is from you and others of like mind. You toss out insults like they matter but don’t address the actual issue.
It’s not a genocide. It’s a tragic result of an ongoing war that Hamas started. Have you got any insults in your bag for them?
Why, are you planning on being there?
Boy are there a lot of self-righteous idiots supporting Hamas terrorism. Hard to see it as anything other than antisemitism. If they framed it as opposition to Israel’s defense tactics you could at least find common ground. But they just want to bark and yell and watch Jews get slaughtered.Fuck ‘em.
You realize that by supporting Hamas, you are actually supporting an organization that includes genocide in it charter.
You should try reading the highlighted portion, smart guy. Or did you just not understand it?
Tragic, but what’s your point? Would you prefer they were Israeli children?
Israel is defending itself from Hamas, a terrorist organization, which attacked it, killed over 1k people and took (and still holds) hostages. It’s fine to be anti-war, but get your facts straight. Hamas is the aggressor in this war. They just picked a fight with a more powerful foe.
I’m sick and tired of ignorant bastards tossing around the word “genocide” like they know what it means. Being rounded up and sent to extermination camps is genocide. Being warned to leave an area before it gets bombed is not. If your own people use you as a human shield that’s on them.
Uh, there was also a recession under Trump.
The current Supreme Court is a jurisprudential joke.
What took so long?
It’s weird and sad that Iowa republicans prefer an autocratic government to a democratic one. They should all take a civics refresher course and bone up on how to be a real patriotic American.
@lookslikeface.bsky.social Sad bread.
Another way of saying that is that a small number of people can’t become ridiculously wealthy without stealing the intellectual property of others.
thehill.com/homenews/cam... Voter data expert hired by Trump campaign says 2020 election was not stolen
My anti-Trump haiku from exactly one year ago: #50 The Trump Crime Family Now you tell me: why would your kids need pardons if you cleaned up the swamp?
Btw, if there’s anything else we can do to get her to use her platform to convince millions of GOP morons not to vote, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Some other acceptable responses are: 1) IDGAF 2) Not my problem 3) How am I supposed to explain people like you to my kids?
Thomas Jefferson would like a word with you, Kanye.
