We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

Some people I know seem to be very Zen in regards to this political nightmare; some are terrified, some are fierce, some are anxious, some are oblivious, some are quiet, some are intense, some are devastated, some are hopeful, some are numb. I happen to be all of the above, and all at the same time.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

From Anguish to Aggression: Trump Goes on Offense After Midair Collision President Trump at moments of national tragedy has always been more comfortable finding fault than providing comfort or expressing empathy.

Mr. Trump practices the politics of division rather than unity. Mr. Trump’s instinct is to move quickly from grief to grievance. He has long demonstrated that he is more comfortable as the blamer in chief than consoler in chief.

Take your pick:
economic negligence,
rising oligarchs,
or the bloated disinformation.

I feel like I'm living in a real life Mad Magazine. Everything is so twisted-ly ironic and satirical-ly insane. I feel like we're being punked by aliens.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

Trump is selling scam crypto posting ads from inside the White House making billions while president and a quick scan of legacy media reveals that …

They couldn’t care less.

Every rally, basically anytime a camera is in front of him, fotus said over & over & over again how other countries were emptying their jails & sending their violent inmates to America. Hmmmm, he just emptied DC jails & let violent criminals out into our streets. Food for thought!

Watching Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth demonstrate his appalling lack of credentials, knowledge, and character for the job for which he was nominated: Is the Trump administration running a DEI program for incompetent, unqualified, and/or ethically compromised Whites?

Decline is a choice, Charles Krauthammer wrote. Watching the Hegseth hearing, I couldn’t help but think that, for now at least, we have chosen it.

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress.
