When this is finally over, I want his presidency annulled.
No portrait. No library.
Just the shround of shame it deserves.

To be β€œgreat” can’t be causing others to suffer and then blaming them for their suffering.

Cruelty isn’t greatness.

Indifference isn’t greatness.

Greed isn’t greatness.

When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

Having been dropped by a major media corporation 2 years ago, I can relate to what Jimmy Kimmel is going through. I can also share the news that since becoming independent, I have a bigger audience than ever before. It turns out people want to listen to uncensored voices. Oh, and fuck Disney/ABC.

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

NEWS: Gov. Kathy Hochul has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor

"We’ve had our disagreements. But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family."

How not surprising that a lobbyist for Qatar, who took a bribe from Trump to shut down an investigation of Trump University for consumer fraud, found that it was OK for Qatar to bribe Trump.

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

The only way Donald Trump is going to get people to flock to the streets cheering for him is to start the parade in this:

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union.

I disagree.

They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.

It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

A screenshot of a post from Donald J. Trump’s Truth Social account (@realDonaldTrump). The post, timestamped 2/19/25 at 12:58 PM, reads: "CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

It didn’t end well for the last king to try to rule America. Just sayin’.

A tweet from KTLA 5 (@KTLA) reads: "NOW: Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway. Read more: ktla.com/news/local-new...". Below the tweet text, there is an image showing a large group of protesters gathered on and around the 101 Freeway near an overpass with a sign indicating "Alameda St Mission Rd". The protesters are holding various signs and flags, including American flags and Mexican flags, and appear to be blocking the freeway.

Resistance to ICE has already begun in my hometown of LA.

 I was hungry and thirsty, but you didn't want to commit the sin of empathy so you had no mercy in your heart,

 I was a stranger but your concept of Christianity said you take care of your family and your nation first, so you claimed you had nothing left to offer me,

 I was naked but you were afraid I might be gay or transgender and just told me to leave instead of helping me,

 I was sick and you just kept saying we had the greatest healthcare system in the world while my bills got higher and I got sicker, 

 I was in prison and you just used me as slave labor, not really caring if I was even a human being anymore so long as the corporation that runs this place makes a profit...

Like with every single negotiation he does, Donold is going to lose and then declare victory and then his fans will all call him a genius even though he’s a lying moron.
