The donald admires, not only murderous dictators, but also polygamist middle aged princes who take very young girls as wives.

โ€œRiots Ragingโ€: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trumpโ€™s decision, ProPublica found that Foxโ€™s portrayal of โ€œPortland riotersโ€ routinely instigating violence wa...

How about a $2 billion lawsuit against Fox News by the Attorney General of Oregon, on behalf of the City of Portland, for the economic harm caused by Fox's libelous medacity? AG Dan Rayfield, are you listening? On 2nd thought, make it 4 billion!

Thank you! It will be my "poster* tomorrow. The funny thing about it is that I made that image in Nov, 2026, the week after DJT was elected (it was therapeudic to do), because I had a strong premonition way back then that we would end up as we are, here and now.

This sunset image was taken on 5/7/2025 at 9:45p, on the west coast of Ireland, near to the Cliffs of Moher. The extraordinary thing about it is that sunset occurred at 9:15p, and by 9:45p the Sun was already 7.5 deg below the horizon! It's an amazing example of the Novaya Zemlya effect

Our task is to make sure that this and all the rest isn't immediately forgotten, that North Carolineans--particularly the ones who voted the FOTUS in--are lead down the path of enlightenment, to the realization that he doesn't give a shit about anyone.

Trump threatens 25% tariff on Apple and Samsung phones not made in US Announcement wipes about $70bn off Apple shares amid pressure on company to build smartphones in US

If only Tim Cook and Samsung had the cojones to stand up to Trump by NOT kowtowing, and making sure that consumers know the new, higher prices they are paying for their phones is the result of a 25% Trump Tax.

I believe AccuWeather has been been
profiting by repackaging NOAA forecasts, "among other sources." But they don't do the hard science work that NOAA does (did), and without NOAA their forecasts will be garbage.

Thank you Cory, for what you've just done, and for reminding us that The People have more power than the people in power (but only if we exercise it).

tRump's attack on universities, or more generally, "the Elites" (which seems to include any educated person with critical thinking skills, but excludes the billionaires), seems to me reminiscent of the Khmer Rouge's genocide of millions of Cambodian intellectuals...

With the exception of the VERY honorable Representative Al Green, I am very disappointed in the Dems response to this SS. Green was let out, and the rest were cowed in to silence , which all the World noticed.

I *really* like your idea. We are well beyond pretending that there is anything normal about Trump and his DOGE brown shirts. They are Nazis. I would take heart if our legislators would stand up in the House of Reps and say so loudly. Trump deserves NO respect whatsoever.

I for one don't have much faith that DJT will ever be held to account, and anyway, at the moment we don't need him "held accountable", we need him stopped!

Since Trump is, apparently, so concerned about SoCal's water supply, perhaps Govenor Newsom could use his emergency authority to shut off the water at Trump National golf course in Palos Verdes. Trump will, of course, sue, but by the time the case is settled hopefully the grass will be dead.

It is my understanding that over 90% of public lands in California are federally owned.

$23M would pay for, what, one additional fire company? Whatever the amount, it would not have have prevented this catastrophic.

I don't have much doubt regarding the validity of this, but haven't been able to find the source. And I'm not at all surprised to learn that people like me are "the enemy".
