The biggest clowns who have ever lived are running the country. I would vote a Caligula/Bullwinkle ticket over any of these morons.

I think at some point you just have to accept that you lack the judgment skills necessary to hold public office. Ah, but wait! A paradox arises.

Given the altar of sacrifice that we decided to put our own children on long ago, I have to wonder if we would finally see real mass outrage if the Trump administration bombed a school *in California*

Trans Kansan's being stripped of their licenses due to having previously - legally - changed their gender marker is absolutely shocking.

A person who misses the letter - let's they moved and forgot to have their mail forwarded - could drive to work and be arrested for driving without a license.

Yeah in the near future it's going to be gangbusters for lawsuits, I don't foresee a repayment program until the next admin. Either way, there's always enough work for the bar!

Is there a site or a journalist devoted solely to digging into these utterly bonkers, cracked-out, sundowning TS posts? I would pay for it.

Not that we shouldn't be super grateful when the Supreme Court notices that something is obviously illegal, but wake me when anything changes in real life

The government cannot stop undisclosed donors from giving an unlimited amount of money to a political candidate, but it can stop a private corporation from airing an interview with a candidate. Free speech!
