According to economists, the average American family is going to have to pay an extra $2,400 a year more on products because of Trump's tariffs, which makes it the largest tax increase in US history. Thanks Donald.

“The only people and institutions allowed to function are the ones Trump needs to help him accomplish his future aims. And the rules and laws do not exist to limit Trump, his officials, or his supporters; they exist to limit the options of people and forces who oppose Trump.”

Paramount+ has a 7-day free trial. Sign up, then watch the South Park episode. Pick
Stephen Colbert when prompted for recommendations. Cancel before 7 days. For the reason, write: "Canceling bootlickers who stifle speech for money."

In the next ten months—while he’s still being broadcast—someone needs to get the Epstein list to Colbert so he can read it on the air

America was never meant to be a single-race nation.

It was designed as a bold experiment in unity

a place where people from every background could come together and form something new.

Our greatest strength was never sameness.

It was the alchemy of difference.

Patriotism is the perfect weapon.

Make people feel proud of oppression, and they’ll protect it.

The psychology?

It’s called identity fusion

you blend your self-worth with the system itself.

That’s why criticism feels like betrayal.

I can at least partially explain why voters believed Trump: a liar who does nothing but lie.

(Please keep in mind that "this is what happened" and "I think it's awesome that this happened" are two very different things. All of this is very bad! I'm not a fan of our reality!)

Trump says Iranians asked U.S. what time they could bomb American military base in Qatar President Trump said Iranian leaders cleared their plan with the U.S. to fire retaliatory strikes against an American airbase in Qatar, and even requested a specific time to attack.

Trump gave Iran permission to fire missiles at U.S. troops at our base in Qatar. You’ll recall the last time this happened and our troops suffered TBI, Trump downplayed the serious injuries as “headaches.” www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ju...

He’s lying again?

I’m shocked I tell you 🙄

Also, Reuters, BBC and CNN just regurgitate his vomit without proper fact checking.
