i guess this has to be better than taking to other duke alums

Look obviously it sucks, everything he does sucks, but Trump's dedication to 1987 Wedding Food is one of his only sincerely held beliefs. I am putting a bounty on a photo of the fucked up pasta primavera they're serving. You know there's shredded carrot in that thing.

This is a choice. We'll live like this until we choose otherwise.

Not even in the top 500 most impeachable things that Trump has done in office, but I can't get over how he's defacing monuments to republican virtue in order to turn them into symbols of decadent personalism. Caligula-ass government.

Shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture.

Trump Pledges 50% Tariffs Against Brazil, Citing ‘Witch Hunt’ Against Bolsonaro

In a sane world, this would be impeachable.
The President is using emergency powers to tax Americans in order to pressure a foreign government to stop defending its democracy

it is unfortunate that extremely dumb people elected a government that is going to ruin their lives. we tried to stop them but they refused to listen, again. only hope is the ones that survive learn something from the experience

I'm often asked what Democratic politicians can do to learn from pro wrestling and combat Republican neokayfabe

The simplest answer to that question is just, "Practice doing Dusty Rhodes's 1985 'Hard Times' promo in front of the mirror every morning until you really MEAN it" 🗣️

The striking thing about Johnson — not new, but striking — is that he has so much power that he won't use because he'd rather get pats on the head from Trump. A historic embarrassment to a position that's included at least one child molester.

You're a Bunch of Cowards! We're all laughing at you.

Cops-- pathetic. Fuck off.

"I propose an alternate strategy: I shall fight Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon in a televised cage match, the winner of which gets $2.7 billion in federal grants and the power to uphold or destroy America’s continued technological and economic success."

I am not expecting much but if it somehow works out that Trump can't accept the Qatari Trump Sky Alpha airplane he's going to be madder than he has ever been about anything, and will remain so until the moment he dies. This is what it's all about for him.

this is one of the many reasons why 'our policies have to follow the polls' is bad politics. people are real swingy and often don't mean what they say or don't understand what they're saying

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

it just often hits me in the gut that the entire federal government of the united states, one of the largest and most powerful organizations in history, is currently being run by about two dozen people whom you could not trust to competently wash a car

As a Senator, I serve a cause higher than what my constituents might "want," or the interests of the labor unions that support my party, or even the continued function of the republic itself. And that cause is uh... hmm this is embarrassing. Wow. I definitely had it written down. On a post-it. Haha.

Musk promises better communication between Republican lawmakers, DOGE Trump adviser Elon Musk stepped up his congressional outreach Wednesday, taking questions from Republican lawmakers, some of whom are facing anger over DOGE.

Trying to explain this story as if one is speaking to a small child. Members of congress, whose job it is to set federal spending, now get to call Elon, who is for some reason controlling federal spending, to plead for changes to federal spending????? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

My British people love this one.

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers
