Reporter to trump: how did you find out you were dead?
the democratic party's bias to normalcy is gonna kill us off. the gop is literally talking about a military junta and the democratic leader is operating like he can just cut a deal with republicans like its normal times.
lol it’s 100% him being trotted out to prove that he’s alive huh. we did it team.
Here is another example: lots of data suggesting that right wing terrorism is a bigger threat in recent years. But Musk stepped in to ensure that anyone who uses Grok is told the opposite. X is a misinformation cesspool *by design.*
Let's get this judge's decision right. It's not saying the Trump administration just happened to violate the law. It's that they *knew* they were breaking the law but did it anyway. @notus.org: www.notus.org/courts/judge...
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
I understood that reference
COVID was Dems' fault because they acknowledged it. Any societal disruption could've been avoided if only we pretended. First time US media and voting public didn't hold the president responsible for a bad thing on his watch. Even as he messed it up on live TV. Nothing I can think of comes close.
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
Placing Trump's unresponsive body in the cockpit of a stealth bomber with a helmet on. "Highway to the Danger Zone" plays on a tinny speaker. An aide helps him do a thumbs-up.
In @theatlantic.com the former First Lady advocating healthy lunches is just like the hhs head being an anti vaccine quack killing people. Stop the planet I want to get off.
this bread is terrible. but the circuses? also really terrible
"Raising $8 trillion in tariff revenue would be quite a trick, given that total U.S. imports last year were only $3.3 trillion." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-bonfir...
"we are all being cast as unwilling actors in the drama of a man who used reality television to achieve real power, and is now repeating that procedure with dramatically higher stakes. This show is on every channel and nobody can turn it off." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/symbolic-b...
On the podcast we are exploring if Bill Belichick is under the clutches of a bene gesserit imprinter or an honored matre. The fact they lost so badly suggests the wanton recklessness of honored matre enslavement. A bene gesserit would have been more careful and kept it within two touchdowns
#BREAKING: Judge Breyer has held that the Trump admin. *violated* the Posse Comitatus Act in its military deployments in and around Los Angeles, and has enjoined further use of those troops for law enforcement tasks. The order is stayed through 12 PDT on 9/12: georgetown.app.box.com/file/1973361...
From today’s @bostonglobe.com. I’ll link the full article below, but for those who hit a paywall… “Velchik — who holds two degrees from Harvard, one from the college and one from the law school — was the sole lawyer arguing the case for the White House in July.” You really can’t make this up.
at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!
hes definitely incapacitated

“Blueskyism” Rent free lmao
This is to get back at us for thinking he died isn't it
The Russians are trying to kill the leader of the EU. Right now wake the fuck up people.
i've decided that making fun of british food is now gen x coded. continue this discourse at your own peril
"Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)". Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, genocide scholars' association says - www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Russia suspected of jamming GPS on plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen
What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
When the judge tells you "this is why we have courts" that means you're doing very good lawyering
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
It's like one of those movies where you think the monster is dead but he isn't.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
man the thing is. if you're lucky enough to get old, when you're dying, you know there's gonna be a few people who don't mind it. everybody has haters. it's what it is. but our special boy at 1600 pennsylvania gets to live knowing that millions of people were excited to hear that maybe he died lol
"unfounded rumors" no there is definitely a foundation to them
we have to keep insisting he's at death's door until he gets so mad he tries to do a pushup on tv to prove he's strong
the haters and losers will say it's foolish to indulge in wild speculation but you can't deny it's extremely funny that they have to write headlines like this
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
2025 Democratic politics is that scene in every 70s movie where somebody gets their car stolen and runs down the street shaking their fist in the air yelling, "Hey, that's my car!!!"
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
🤔
It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.
BREAKING: supreme court rules 6-3 that it's okay to have a dead president
If the news about Trump is true, the damage you people did to JD Vance’s reputation with those memes in combination with his lack of charisma is about to payoff
Does nothing for days then emerges to golf. Sounds about right
Silly us. He looks so healthy.
If this happened in 2021, the reporters would be camped out in front of the White House for 24/7 coverage of the president likely being incapacitated or dead and a palace coup having occurred.
I hope he is reading how many people are hoping he’s gone for good
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
if he officially dies on Labor Day God is real
That family tree definitely loops back on itself in a few places
I had to check because it is very fitting
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
This order is making federal improvement projects more expensive, and then he turned around and tried to gotcha Jerome Powell by pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket and complaining about the federal reserve's construction projects that were made more expensive by this order 🫠
I just saw someone refer to rfk jr as microwaved mel gibson & i can’t unsee it.
the first dem to look right in the camera and say "i'm glad the fucker's dead" is going to win
jokes aside, let's all be serious. the big question everybody is asking is #IsTrumpDead and, as of right now, we can not confirm or deny such rumors. it would be wildly irresponsible for us to make it a hashtag and get it trending enough that it breaks containment
did it happen
Imagine if he did die on a three-day weekend. The one time he actually had an excuse not to work, and instead, he just bites it.
All this talk has me feeling kind of hopeful.
👀
evidence for: - multiple comments musing about death and the hereafter - bruises - weird cabinet three and half hour praise session - vance saying he's ready to be president in an interview section about trump's health - no public appearances in two days and none scheduled for labor day weekend
trump finally appearing on a balcony on sunday like first of all my doctor said i may have set the world record for health
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
If I were him I'd schedule some posts to drop after I'm dead like "The lying media is saying my autopsy showed that my entire body was made of ass material! NOT TRUE!"
Also -- and this is gonna sound weird but hear me out -- you would be hearing rumors about people seeing a gorilla secretly brought to the White House. Because he told somebody he wanted to meet "that sign language gorilla" before the end and nobody wanted to tell him she died
By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority. The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:
The base has always been held by Trump's psychotic charisma. Once he's gone, they will be left with nothing but a boring, tight ass Vance, sky-high prices,and no medical insurance.
The VP is allegedly “moving fast” behind the scenes to seize power as an aging Trump continues to brush off rumors that his health is slipping.
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
you mean "we're all going to die" wasn't polling well?
lol. lmao.
the right wing view of covid is, basically: it is very bad the evil chinese manufactured this bioweapon to kill us all, but also we should've let it kill more people
This story is batshit and makes it pretty clear without outright saying it that Tesla deliberately lied to hide data showing its autopilot drove a car into a couple of people www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Chicago keeping art alive:
I would like to remind people Trump literally posted Obama’s personal address and a lunatic follower of his showed up there the next day armed to the teeth. You might not have heard about it because places like the NYT never reported it (they reported the gunman but not the Trump part at all!)
I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.
The insurrectionists succeeded. It just took awhile.
That… is the entire point of the Federal Reserve.
truly baffling that a culture obsessed with machismo and swimming in semi-automatics would struggle with gun violence
Rivian's new tagline: "a truck that WON'T burn you alive and melt your skeleton"
in the last year this is the onion headline i most often think about

Taylor Swift is experiencing something that I think is common to a lot of feminists who get engaged: everybody being extremely fucking weird about it, in a really detailed way
That’s because conservatives tell each other it’s not cutting you off to say you can’t bring your same-sex partner to Christmas
somehow this article, published in August 2025, is *not* a parody
