Or that they can destroy Iran's nuclear program in one bombing raid
Same way Canadians soured so fast on the U.S. this year -- Trump threatened to destroy their manufacturing base over a whim.
I mean, SCOTUS kinda legalized bribery didn't it
it's like these fools have no idea how huge America is and how popular it is (or was)
maybe this will finally end the nonsense over endorsements?
post thru it
i love all these kinds of tweets you do
honestly havent been to one since family roadtrips as a kid
Roberts has turned SCOTUS into nothing more than Trump's racketeering enforcer
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
As always, immediate intervention when Trump is inconvenienced; versus a lengthy and interminable legal morass when his targets are.
these shitbags are going to cost plenty of people their jobs and likely gin up death threats over this. absolute clown losers.
lmaoooo
Oops: Just after Fox pushed Trump’s lie that foreign countries pay for tariffs, a host acknowledged that Americans are paying higher prices www.mediamatters.org/tariffs-trad...
just what i always wanted, a rainforest in my gut xD

lol does it even mention that this is outside of the census redistricting? (also, Texas did this over 20 years ago too)
My last three phones have had the exact same battery size, except each new phone uses it up faster.
well at least they're not being sent to Greenland
It's because they know they can manipulate and bribe him to do what they want.
He'll eventually hang a fake one like that old TIME cover
my friend/roommate bought an old historic one in rural PA and it's so full of character
i try not to
he is well known to be a huge cheapskate
god it looks worse every time i see it. willing to bet a good portion of that isn't even partially gold

Oh I saw that in theaters and it was so awful, it was the only movie i've ever wanted to walk out of
My friend bought an old mansion in the town which has a (not nearly bank sized) walk-in vault and he put his PC gaming setup there.
there's a guy in this town who bought and lives in a former bank.
got he's such a fuckin sheep
that's borderline a HR complaint imo
"Dear Sir or Madame, great start"
I still think it's crazy my mom insisted i try out for this show when i was in college, and i'm very glad i completely ignored her.
these goons are literally bumping into each other
nice work
Best use of that sandwich honestly
lol just had this moment IRL yesterday when telling a rural PA neighbor how much i loved Meridian Hill Park when i lived in DC
investors shocked as trump economic policy begins showing the exact goddam results literally everyone said they would
Ah yes they were reducing crime in Iraq and Afghanistan
New from me: Trump’s BLS commissioner nominee EJ Antoni calls Social Security a “Ponzi scheme” www.mediamatters.org/social-secur... The Bureau of Labor Statistics produces the inflation statistic used for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments for seniors
8 years after Charlottesville, Nazis control the White House www.dailykos.com/story/2025/8...
The US conservative movement, for the last 5 or 6 decades, is so much more sinister, so much more of an *actual* shadowy conspiracy fueled by oligarchs, than the average American understands.
My latest: Fox asks, “Where’s the tariff inflation?” It’s in the coffee Americans are drinking. www.mediamatters.org/tariffs-trad... Prices have increased drastically in recent months, even before 50% tariffs on Brazilian coffee took effect a week ago
i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.
oh are you undead now?
Put solar panels along every single highway median
God that is so insane
we really never reckoned with at least 2 GOP presidents committing literal treason
I practically lived at Chili's in college, but i stopped going after they changed their chicken tenders.... kept getting a weird texture from them.

His community is gonna have a block party when he finally keels over
It was precisely Watergate that set off a multi-decade effort on the right to protect Republicans from ever again facing real accountability. The experience of facing consequences for their actions was deeply traumatic for them.

Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.
what a fucking turd he is
...what a sentence
well, that's hidden white supremacy. this is very open.
thankfully my brother isn't dumb enough to do this
Quite a few of his ratings were based on vibes and his interpretation as well, rather than exact quotes and facts.
We figured out to *cure cancer* (ref: last year’s pancreatic cancer trials) and the Trump administration decided “nah.” That a society could reject a cure for cancer is astounding.
RFK Jr.'s Nurgle worship through killing Americans with preventable illnesses continues.
guess who gets the contract to shuttle construction materials and workers etc. to the moon
those goddamn idiots
they're a little late to this www.mediamatters.org/james-okeefe...
I'm currently addicted to Cyberpunk 2077, where the main goal is to save yourself by killing a ton of insane gang groups and criminals for money, and launch terror attacks on the world's biggest corporations.

he really loves showing off how much everyone around him hates his guts
gorgeous sky here
You mean the -500K job revision under Trump in 2019? www.bls.gov/ces/notices/...
funnily enough, as i was on Trump's truth social account today to quote his posts, i was inundated with My Pillow ads.
That's because they know how to bribe and manipulate Trump.
good day for a drink
I want one too but can't decide
New, from me: Trump just fired the head of the BLS, accusing her of rigging data. The reality is that by shooting the messenger reporting on the negative effects of his economic policies, Trump pushed America further into banana republic territory. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-shoo...
New: After Steve Bannon called for “a MAGA Republican” to run the BLS, Trump fired its commissioner www.mediamatters.org/steve-bannon... Trump took this action following a weak jobs report with major downward revisions. Economists say this move will create mistrust about economic data.
why do conservative men think about dick so much
66 here! time to open a window in my room
One interesting thing about Trump randomly imposing tariffs on every country on earth for any reason or no reason is that it is illegal
great example of a common dynamic: anything that anyone vaguely left-coded on the internet says is associated with and becomes a problem for “the democratic party”
noooooooooooooooo
still in shock about Emil Bove. easily one of the most depraved individuals ever to be confirmed to the federal bench, and that's including the nineteenth century. prosecuting his reported crimes has to be a priority when party control of government next changes hands.
Let's not forget that this seat was vacant because Islamaphobic Democrats wouldn't let Biden's appointee be confirmed. And Schumer let the clock run out.
Hard to sympathize when the accepted proofs of residency are clearly listed and they just didn't prepare correctly www.mvd.newmexico.gov/wp-content/u... The Real ID process took me less than 10 mins after I moved.

Scoop: The Freedom of the Press Foundation is formally asking the Office of Disciplinary Counsel at the D.C. Court of Appeals to probe and consider disbarring FCC chair Brendan Carr. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/brendan-ca...
To be clear, Trump increased the tariff on goods from Europe from about 1.2% to 15% and that will lead to price increases for consumers and the NY Times take is that Trump is “winning” the trade war.
It is an extraordinary loss of intellectual expertise that the American people invested millions in developing Every scientist who earns a graduate degree in the US is the product of an investment by the public This is like setting money on fire
dat hash brown chipotle wrap tho
Genuinely fascistic
Good profile of the type of person who prospers in the Trump era: the guy leading the campaign against Powell is the Senate-confirmed head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, heir to a home-building fortune and online troll. $ + social media + loyalty www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/b...
My latest: MAGA media praise Trump’s tariffs and trade deal with Japan that hurt the US auto industry www.mediamatters.org/tariffs-trad... Trump warned of a supposed industry “bloodbath” if he wasn't elected, but now he’s seemingly engineered one
They folded. We're fighting. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...
