A medieval illustration showing two people pointing at a figure in the lower right corner who looks like he's trying to take off his chainmail but has gotten it stuck while it's over his head. The caption reads: "When I'm drunk AF and try to take off a turtleneck."

Same, medieval dudes. Same.

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

This is a sad state of affairs.

Trump voters feeling bitter
‘Cause the market’s in the shitter.

See? I’m a poet and don’t know it.
Although my feet show it.
They’re *longfellows.*
Just trying to keep folks amused while their 401Ks go down the drain.
Trump is like honeybadger: He don’t give a shit.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

USA to coal miners - Drop Dead. Literally. And take your towns with you

When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism.

That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).

SINCE THEY DON'T USE THIS ANYMORE WE'RE TAKING IT BACK.

The Trump administration keeps saying that other countries pay for tariffs, but that’s not how they work.

Tariffs are effectively taxes on imported products, which the American people ultimately pay.

So, Elon called my brother-in-law a traitor.

Interesting take, considering Musk supports authoritarian regimes over democratic ones. Mark’s spent his life serving this country.

So much projection.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

"LMAO GET FUCKED elonmusk"

As of Monday morning, Tesla had erased its gains since Trump’s reelection in November.

lol

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.

We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to Wall Street billionaires for profit.

Privatization would increase costs, reduce access, and be an utter disaster.
