BTW, fun fact, there is a Coast Guard cutter named the Taney, after that POS SC Justice, that still exists to this day in Baltimore Harbor. That’s how little we care about racism, we named a freaking ship after the man who oversaw the Dred Scott decision.

This Court will rank as one of the worst since the Taney court in the Dred Scott decision. Roberts has been a disgrace and an utter failure as Chief Justice.

It’s like they cloned a bunch of Lance Hendricksens, the android from the first Alien, but made all of them evil…and removed their hair in the case of Stephen Miller.

The Venn diagram between those who think reality tv and WWE wrestling are real and Trump voters is a circle.

Weaponized incompetence in action. The clown car Trump administration shambles along in dumpster fire fashion. There’s is absolutely no reason to believe ANYTHING this administration says, just like there’s no reason to believe Russian gov, or North Korean gov, or past totalitarian states.

It’s unfortunate the premise assumes JD Vance has morals or principles to which he could compare whether he has prejudices, those are two traits he most certainly lacks.

So they suspended ICE operations over the weekend. Monday they get back to terrorizing the country.

Wait til he realizes its not a snag, not a bug, its a feature, a deliberate strategy by the Trump administration to deport people who look like his wife out of the country. He might want to research an American living in Columbia if he wants to stay with his soon to be wife.

The bottom of the barrel is, unsurprisingly, filled with pungent, rotting refuse…like this guy…and the Nazi lover…and, well, one gets the picture.

BTW, maybe he can he apply to ICE now, he looks amazingly unhealthy, lacks moral character, and lies with abandon. Perfect!

Among the many, many screenshots of β€œHow it started, how it’s going.” Is this one of WaPo’s endorsement of Pam Bondi (but not of Kamala Harris of course, that would’ve been unprofessional LOL)

She’s serious alright, serious about using the DOJ as Trump’s attack dog every time she can.

Why just go with Cracker?

Seems to capture the essence of the brand.

Did they create their own or just copy McCarthy’s format?

Pretty sure Netanyahu’s aides prefaced the incoming call with: Taco Bell is calling, do you just want to mute him or actually hear what he’s saying and then ignore him?

I’m doing what the right always does after gun violence happens: ignoring it. I’ve got far better things to do than even think about Charlie Kirk, like mourning the hundreds of others who have died due to gun violence that Kirk contemptuously dismissed as collateral damage of the 2nd amendment.

Looks like they know exactly who they’re dealing with: a lying, power mad megalomaniac and said: No thanks, we’ll head back to a country that isn’t a prison colony subject to the whims of a madman.

Huh, a roster, otherwise known as a list.

Not that Trump is steeped in history but know what it is he is seeking: his Reichstag moment. The excuse he can use to declare martial law, his own Enabling Law, and dispense with both Congress and the Supreme Court entirely. It’s certainly what the people around him, like Stephen Miller, want.

Yes, that’s the face of a man I’d trust implicitedly. /s

Widen your gaze. Trump wants a war so he can invoke war time powers. Then he tosses the Constitution and installs dictatorship.

And, as always EPSTEIN!

Is it too much for news publications to point out the idiocy of people acting like unthinking sheep when all they do is vote for candidates with a letter after their name rather than spend, idk, one damn minute researching and analyzing whether that candidate is actually helping them?

06.09.2025 12:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

True. At least we know exactly what his intentions are (and also Heritage Foundation too, and today’s GOP).

I believe he actually meant burning, like burning it to the ground.

BTW Newsweek, if the guy raving at the corner says there are aliens controlling the weather, maybe do a little research and find out whether he’s right before saying β€œBlah blah has said aliens are controlling the weather.”

Also true is the GOP gerrymandered the state so they don’t have to compete in elections either the state house or Congressional seats since just having an R will get you in. And this is the result of one party authoritarian rule, sheer idiocy.

Oh, oh no Pirro. How’s this for elitist: Go F yourself you NYC carpetbagger. Get the F out of OUR town and go drink yourself to sleep anywhere else but here you abject failure. You’re failing because that’s all you’ve ever been and will ever be, an alcoholic who drowns her failures in boxes of wine.

I mean seriously, the logical end for β€œconservative” bias is to feed Hitler quotes into it so the model swings far far right…wait a second, haven’t I seen this before?

If they don’t like blue skies or the country of Croatia, are they tipping the scales there too? The sky is never blue and Croatia is a terrible country? It defies the very concept of artificial or generative intelligence.

Worth pointing out how illogical/unintelligent it is what they are doing, literally interrupting an intelligence model in order to force feed it the answers they want, the antithesis of critical thought and deductive reasoning.

Imagine coming back from a month long vacation from representing your constituents, especially Alabamans not exactly doing well under the Trump admin, and THIS is the most important thing you could think of. Not Medicare cuts, not a tanking economy especially for lower incomes, just this idiocy,
