Don’t worry too much about the anxieties expressed in this thread. Anticipating bad weather is a social ritual here in Oklahoma. Like shaking hands. 😆

How We’re All Now Paying the Price for the Myth of Trump’s Competence The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every day—mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

New Column: How in blazes did so many people fall for the idea that this guy hated war? That he could bring prices down? That he is competent to run a high-volume McDonalds, let alone the country?

McFarlane is too experienced and knowledgeable for Bari Weiss and her flunkies to be comfortable with him. It was all a matter of time before this would happen.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Trump Wants to ‘Take Over’ Elections. These States Are Prime Targets.

Good rundown. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/u...

This article is NOT from Oklahoma City Free Press.

Michael Che on SNL: “A rash has appeared on President Trump’s neck which is just above his collar. Apparently, someone accidentally washed his shirt in holy water.”

This! The urge to punish someone by shooting them when they are disarmed (Alex Pretti) or moving away (Renee Good) has always been a serious problem that the best police departments will take action on immediately. But ICE/DHS? Naw. They’ll just skip it.

People keep talking about Trump's hat and yeah that's gauche but it's so much worse than that, the hat is one he himself sells on his website and Trump knew the pictures would be disseminated which means TRUMP IS USING THE DEATH OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO HAWK HIS SHITTY ASS MERCH.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Here's back to back clips of Fox & Friends misleading viewers this morning by presenting as though it's new an old clip of Donald Trump attending a dignified transfer without his campaign baseball cap on (unlike yesterday, when he wore one), then apologizing for it later in the show

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

“Breathe! Breathe!” he recalled officers shouting about 6:30 a.m. Then he said he heard an officer say “Dudes, you killed that dude.” A female guard replied “If he is dead, we’re going to cover it up and he’s going to have an alibi -- my officers,” the FBI notes said. The inmate claimed the whole wing overheard the exchange. Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article314966334.html#storylink=cpy

The Miami Herald reports that an inmate told the FBI he heard prison guards discussing the fact that they killed Epstein and were going to cover it up the morning he died.

The female guard below received thousands of dollars of payments in the months before Epstein died.

We are really showing the world why they called us the great Satan

An entire city became a billboard. Epstein files. The client list. Projected across buildings for everyone to see. No one could look away. No one could scroll past. The streets became the screen. This is what happens when the internet goes outside!

Watch for this is tomorrow's NYT. 😆

this is the Epstein presidency

rape children in america

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Turns out, everything you read in a Facebook group is not true.

Read this thread. It's an infuriating example of how too many broadcast news outlets wait for hard-working text-forward reporters to dig up the important stuff and then shove it out there in Cliff Notes versions either barely giving credit or not at all. The best TV stations collaborate, not scrape.

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

Trump can be that cowardly and blame others but not the people who work for him. My mouth was open when I heard her saying that.

State Department Bypasses Congress to Send Israel More Than 20,000 Bombs

And the Congressional GOP majority just stands aside: "The State Department is declaring an emergency with the war in Iran to bypass Congressional approval and sell more than 20,000 bombs to Israel that are valued at nearly $660 million...." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/u...
