History will see that he manufactured chaos because he had nothing good to offer. No vision. No ideas. Just tearing down what others have built, and blaming them for his shortcomings. Generations will be taught he was nothing but a pathetic failure.

Yet they have no problem with Canadians suffering from "poor" (read idiotic) decisions made on this side of the border

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion

Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging?

Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Why firefighters say the Los Angeles blazes have been unstoppable In the Pacific Palisades, the monster fire quickly outmatched anything firefighters were ready to handle.

β€œCity leaders, fire officials & firefighting experts describe a disaster that no amount of additional firefighting or stores of water could have prevented.” Nah…it’s just a lot easier to get political and blame someone or believe some stupid conspiracy. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Who had β€œgoing to war with Panama over the Canal” on their 2025 bingo card?

Trump’s statements are so impossibly inane. Stupid didn’t begin to describe it. He’s a first rate fool and a horse’s ass.

Not to normalize the idea of a president-elect attacking a judge in this unhinged manner, but it was actually, the US Supreme Court that declined to lift the gag order on Trump.

I would like to raise the highest of middle fingers at Senators Sinema and Manchin for voting AGAINST President Biden's NLRB nominee, thereby ensuring DEMs lose control of the National Relations Labor Board for at least the next 2 years.

Some are puzzled by Trump’s Labor pick. It’s not puzzling. It’s the shiny metal object given to distract us. Chavez will do nothing to meaningfully change anything in a good way for most people, b/c that Department doesn’t create change if the POTUS doesn’t want it.
