Is this enough to justify calling this administration Nazis?

Erasing people. Whatever minority you are (which is A LOT OF US), you’re next.

We were never overreacting.

God dammit. I can’t even imagine being more tired than I am now.

Now he’s talking about the US “receiving” 80 billion barrels of oil from “our new friend and partner” Venezuela --as if he didn’t steal it after an invasion.

Getting ready to grill some steaks while listening to Tony Bennett’s duets album and NOT LISTENING to the liar’s SOTU dramatic reading that 47 is about to give. There’s not enough money in the world to make me raise my blood pressure by listening to that asshole.

If the whole chamber started chanting “Epstein Epstein Epstein” during Trumps SOTU speech, that would be just.

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

JFC. Is there ANYONE in this administration who isn’t a complete and total embarrassment????

Perfect. Don Henley covering Leonard Cohen. (Track back to the thread for context).

Most of them are.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

We are a shithole country. I certainly wouldn't visit.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Why does the public have to stop this and not congress???????

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

i guess the one thing about the state of the union is that mike johnson can't say he didn't hear it

And Bissent is grinning and telling us how wonderful the economy is.

Jesus. What a fucking idiocracy of an administration.

Also, that’s some VERY niche porn.

Not for nothing but if you have the resources to release the alien files, guess what else you have the resources to release?

Will he just SHUT UP already!!!

Will he just SHUT UP already.

Oooooofff.

Gah - I didn’t need to visualize that!

It seems Trump is planning to strike Iran this weekend, so then Tuesday he can deliver his State of the Union address as a big strong alpha “war president.” (Trump ran on being the only antiwar candidate).

Listen closely to every word of this

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Woke up one morning and there were soldiers
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Woke up one morning and there were soldiers
The invasion had begun

Part of being a parent in the 2020s is telling your kids over breakfast that the president's private paramilitary arrested a bunch of people the day before and separated them by race before hauling them off to a concentration camp. These aren't easy conversations to have!

That is some niche porn, man.

Also, jeans? I mean, I'd heard that was his preferred workout gear, but ... ?
