Not that it'll make a difference but it's time for the international community to make a pariah of the US. Sucks to be us, but that's where we are.

Then he takes that money and invests it in chocolate covered cotton balls because Egyptian cotton has tanked. It's OK though because everyone gets a share.

Might be for the best, what with the spying on you and the AI slop. I only miss keeping up with friends at a distance (like you!) but in the end it wasn't worth it.

Your tax dollars at work! ICE violently detains a blind man for crossing a line on the sidewalk.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Charlie Kirk, "The Biggest Piece of Human Garbage That Can Possibly Exist Right Now" - Rep. Adam Kinzinger - R Illinois, 16th Kirk Out.

Which of course is why he's beloved by the right. Their performative mourning is laughable given their indifference to all of the other political violence that's been perpetrated by their own. It's a pretext, and I fear what is coming.

I don't think Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot to death. I also won't mourn him because he was an in-your-face shit stirrer who held abhorrent beliefs. 1/2

Every β€œgood thing” in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has a catch:

– Tip tax break? Expires in 3 years

– Child tax credit? Sunsets in 2028

– SALT relief? Temporary band-aid
But tax cuts for billionaires? Forever.

This isn’t policy

it’s a con. 🧾🎭

Enough.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

You know how Navarro weaseled his way into FOTUS' good graces, right? If not, search for Ron Vara and Jared.

Reciprocal tariffs: you won’t believe how they came up with the numbers archived 3 Apr 2025 12:15:33 UTC

Wondering how they got their tariff numbers? It's even stupider than you thought.

stacy (@stacycay) on X We’ve done this mass tariff thing 3 times in American history. 1828, 1930, 2025. All spaced about 100 years apart because everyone who remembers the last one needs to be dead for the next one to happen. The last two caused a depression. I hope this one makes us rich tho.

"Aligned with" is a phrase that would eat every possible expressed view the government would like to go after.

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
