Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.

"James T. Kirk is a womanizer" is one of the biggest ongoing misreads of TOS. He's not! He's a romantic! He's a great big sop who falls head over heels in love with every woman he's with, and would have settled down with any of them were it not for his sense of duty.

Enjoyed revisiting this one this past weekend. Almost a year out from its release, still think it’s a fun MCU episode that hopefully will gain greater appreciation when viewed separately from initial expectations.

The problem is Parker Brothers made a game that showed us the horrors of unrestricted capitalism and the people who played it celebrated crushing everyone else in the room. Biggest β€œWait, not like that” in history.

More racist bullshit from the twisted minds behind Project 2025. One should be grateful, I suppose, that Trump is too old and enfeebled to pay attention to this, and sycophants like Vance and Miller are too repulsive to garner much public support.

After a banner year of Warner Bros putting unique, filmmaker driven original movies into theaters and getting giant audience turn out for them, the corporation that now owns them would like you to know that actually you didn’t like this and that what you really wanted was to watch at home.

Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia.

They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana.

Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this

Trump says Witkoff and Kushner had "a very good" meeting with Putin Trump said their impression was that Putin wants "to see the war ended," but it wasn't clear what progress had been made in the talks.

If there weren't 834 other scandals, this would be scandal #1.

Selling out US security, our European allies and Ukraine for personal financial gain.

Witkoff and Kushner must be investigated, or, there must be hearings if Dems take back the House.
