No one else in the world takes any of these people seriously. No. One. Why any private company or university does is beyond me. The ONLY reason anyone in the U.S. does is either because they are in the cult or afraid of the cult. Will the Generals and military stand up when the time comes?
You CANNOT make this shit up.
I really don’t know why this isn’t pressed into his (and all R’s) face daily.
Cracker Barrel will still falter and be in bankruptcy within the next few years. As a lifelong southerner and customer, the food is now flavorless. Trump would NEVER eat there himself.
There should be criminal AND financial penalties for this bullshit. Take their freedom AND their money and see if that doesn’t stop some of their religious zeal.
The feeling is much different in the rural deep red states. Watch Alex Garland’s Civil War. The gas station scene. The mass grave of citizens scene. Yeah. That shit hits different when you 10/10 know your neighbors will toss your dead ass into a mass grave behind someone’s barn. That’s reality.
I love that Keith Olberman aptly calls them the White House Stenographers Pool.
Cowardice.
Hitler got the trains to run on time, too.
I’ve seen estimates reported that it’s $1 million per day just for the NG.
If he does it, yes. Chicago could be our Fort Sumpter. Every Dem governor needs to immediately join together to: 1.) Sue for injunctive relief. 2.) Deploy every member of their National Guard as a State defense force. 3.) Create a mutual defense pact. 4.) Draft articles of secession.
A perfect example of, “What if Obama?”
Shout out to all our “small government” Republican friends
Could you imagine what the Gadsden flag waiving, 2A fetishizing, Fox News watching populace would be doing if Obama said these exact same words?
Could you imagine if Biden had spouted such nonsense.
Valid.
In things that definitely never happened I give you the following:
Trump: "They call me the president of Europe. Which is an honor."
Valid. I made more local friends in Scottish pubs because I had a pin on my backpack that said, “Fuck Trump”.
Definitely. I’m just saying the Federal Tort Claims Act does not provide personal immunity for the commission of intentional torts outside the scope of their position or office. Lutnik says she’s taking kickbacks or insider trading or something she can sue his ass.
Yankeefied
I’m not saying it isn’t. I’m saying that intentionally committing an act of defamation (which he hasn’t yet) is not. Trump v. US specifically doesn’t grant immunity for unofficial acts. If he shot the interviewer during the appearance he would not have immunity bc it’s not an official act.
This is the most dangerous, fascist, and ominous statement made to date. A declaration that the Dem party is terrorist organization opens the entire playbook: direct military action killing/occupation, financial sanctions and seizures, and extrajudicial incarceration of any Dem. A true fascist coup.

So any defamation would be an official act within the scope of his federal duties? If that’s the impact of the SCOTUS opinion, I hate this timeline.
Dear Red Hats, I don’t think communism means what you thinks it means.
An unconstitutional order that simultaneously violates the U.S. Code on disposal (retirement) of old flags. So, I guess he’ll be sending Federal Agents to Scout flag retirement events across the nation and rounding them up? Should be great.
To be fair, the injuries to their ears are just as bad as Trump’s were.
*** 2016 ***
… 2016 …
In a long list of horrible governors from both parties, Tubberville will top the list if ultimately allowed to run this cycle. Who is going to build a manufacturing plant in Alabama with, for starters, the tariffs, blatant racism, and abhorrent infrastructure and educational system?
HUGE News! Picking up even a single seat is vital in this fight. We MUST retake the House in 2026 assuming we have elections.
Yeah. He knows where that line is and certainly doesn’t want to get “Juliano’ed” by committing defamation per se by accusing her of an actual crime.
I’d buy THAT shirt in the gift shop! I’d even buy the smocked and embroidered Sunday dress version for my granddaughter.
Birmingham and Mobile have higher violent crime rates than Chicago, LA, or NYC. I don’t see Tubbs asking Trump to deploy Federal troops to Alabama first. Wonder why?
I have ordered the Sunrise Sampler w/ a side of hash brown casserole regardless of the sun’s position in the sky religiously for at least 37 of my 52 years. Can’t stand it now. If you can’t deliver even “ok” grits, biscuits, and gravy just stop faking it and sell cream of wheat and bagels.
Deploy your National Guard as a defense force against this illegal invasion.
The Carthageans would like a word.
Dumbassery but not by DeSantis. He knows he’s lying. He also knows the Fox audience neither knows or cares enough to check.
But … but … HER EMAILS!!! HIS LAPTOP!!!
Gov. Pritzker should deploy the Illinois National Guard to defend the state from any illegal invasion by the illegal deployment of the National Guard of other states or the U.S. military.
You win the “Things that Gross Me Out” award of the today. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Don’t Bondi, Vance, Hegseth, and Noem have something else to be doing other than elder sitting Trump every single day?
Yet millions, a majority of citizens, feel helpless.
Sorry, Mr. Cuban. I think you are great. But none of us give a flying mouse fart if a billionaire has to sell off stock to cover their taxes. Some of us have to sell our stuff or do without to pay our taxes. Especially true for us small business owners who can’t invest in growth bc of taxes.
HAHAHAHAHAHA … he’s a perfect specimen for white superiority alright.
The governors and their National Guard Adjutant Generals had damn well better be doing the same thing but on a different scale.
Now that he’s broke he’s decided to up the crazy and become Thanos.
The real problem is when unrealized capital gains are used as collateral for loans but neither the collateral or the loan are taxed as income. We should put an end to that immediately.
Current mood.
Alleged nick.
If I find out this trash is being shown to my kid I’m going to flip tables.
Cue the threats from Trump.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Anyone who doesn’t think they are going to fortify DC, declare martial law, cancel elections, and start a civil war is just fooling themselves. Everything from LA, DC, the ICE budget, firing of senior generals and FBI, the Texas gerrymandering, all of it leads to one end. Civil War.
The same party that has melt downs over the removal of statues honoring traitorous generals as “erasing history” is now going to literally erase history from our museums and primary school curricula without an ounce of irony. Racists are like that.
This is a crisis of our own making. There will be a reckoning for the priorities set by this cruel administration and other government bodies down to the municipal level.
Meet Donald Trump’s latest nominee for the federal bench.
Interesting choice of outfits. Who is copying who? Not that it matters because fascist scum is fascist scum and they’re all cowards.
Your Uncle Dave is the shit!
Replaces the U.S. Flag flown over one of the bloodiest islands of WWII with … an advertisement.
No shit, Sherlock.
Can someone in charge please read ahead in Mein Kampf and make a plan to stop their next action?
Every single thing they don’t like is “fake”. It’s laughable. The left knows it. The world knows it. Even Republicans are beginning to see it now.
It is not coincidental that Trump announces a military takeover of DC and future takeovers of major blue cities right after they had a pow-wow on how to handle the Epstein furor. Those at the presser were each at the meeting. Vance was off elsewhere being … well … unlikable. Don’t get distracted.
What the actual fuck?
Coming soon to a red state near you.
Soooooo … we pay the corps because most of them pay almost nothing as is. I love Mark Cuban and this would be a great idea if the effective corp tax rates weren’t already stupid low.
30% of the catalog of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard or Phish. A classic though is Rush - The Fountain of Lamneth 19:57.
Sees no problem. Creates massive problem. Hurts his base. 1/2 fixes problem. Declares he’s the best POTUS ever.
I’m old enough to remember the outrage at Obama from the right about a few comments in sermons from Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Trump, refusing to release the Epstein List, escalates crime rhetoric ahead of Washington crackdown announcement. Fixed it!
Well done, Kyle.
It all heroes wear capes. I’ve been saying all year that the Republican Party is playing with fire and is very likely to get burned.
Axios can go eat a bag of goat shit. “Both sides”.
Spoiler Alert. They are all liars to a person.
In two weeks, I’m sure.
Wow. Is it Bring Your Own Hood or are those issued?
“Defend your culture?” Hey @DHSgov, what “culture” would that be? Have the balls to say it.
WOW.
Now why would they want to remove the parts that say what Congress can’t do and what the State’s can’t do?
The whole damn administration from the top down is a threat to national security. All of them. To a person.
Sigh. Has anyone told her that murder and theft were “illegal” in all civilizations way before the 10 Commandments and in places that never heard of them? That they essentially were the primary, common sense, laws of the land?
Battle lines are being drawn as we speak. Live in a red state but are not a Republican? Maybe you live in a mostly blue area of the red state? Well, eat a bag of shit.
The FBI has zero jurisdiction to do this. None. If the Feds can come in at the behest of their political allies and detain state opposition party members for wholly state based “disputes” then the republic democracy is indeed dead. Just making the request shows how far we have fallen.
They should really put a dementia tracker on him so they can find him faster when he wanders off.
🚨Unearthed footage shows Trump bragging about hiring a teenage girl because she was “so pretty.” When a woman asks to be a flight attendant on his jet, he says, “You can work on my plane anytime,” then calls it a “death wish”—comparing himself to an alcoholic around Scotch.
I came here to say exactly this.
From what I’ve read he and his business partner got into a serious legal dispute and suddenly the one who is t a citizen gets arrested by ICE and deported. Funny how that works.
I am 97.2% convinced that this will not actually happen. Mostly because Trump said he would help fund it and he hasn’t funded anything ever.
Alabama’s Congressional redistricting map has been comically gerrymandered so badly that the 11th Circuit has called it openly racist and rejected it 3 times. The 11th Circuit.
Can we just skip to the part where the Blue States say, “To Hell with all of this!” and secede with their tax dollars?
What?!? He’s not funding an unnecessary and gaudy ballroom addition? He must have not gotten the Billionaire Newsletter last month.
Why are you so triggered? There was no need for that. You could just simply state that they don’t have them. Unless you’re just a troll looking to start a fight.
True. Thanks for the reminder.
B/c any major news outlet that pushes it will get sued for billions and likely lose their FCC license to operate and they know it.
Is this a fucking serious take? What happened at the Atlantic? When did you bend the knee?
