Tysyn, haven't said hi for ages. Sending love from over here, hoping you're doing well.

Your tax dollars at work! ICE violently detains a blind man for crossing a line on the sidewalk.
Do you feel safer now?

I was so hoping the penis was Shy. Er, not to say Shy's penis is shy but, well, YOU know what I mean. I hope.

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 “good 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. 🧾🎭

Just thought I'd mention that I have something Elon and FOTUS will never have:

Enough.

You go to your room and think about what you did!

How is it that a high school freshman is more mature than too many "adults"?

The Ivies have a lot to answer for. Vance, Alito, Thomas, etc. etc. etc.

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.

Top Producer of ‘60 Minutes’ Quits, Saying He Lost Independence The news program has faced mounting pressure from both President Trump and its corporate ownership at Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.

Really not good

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.

Summarizes quite neatly what a whiny bitch Elon is.

Time to use your voice and prestige to fight back against the madness in our government. Now.

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

Whenever I notice this I see a Xenomorph in a skirt.

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.

It would be wrong to send email to hr@opm.gov mocking Elon's demand for 5 bullets describing your accomplishments this week. Don't do anything like this:

And now they can't find them to re-hire. Idiots.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on.

That is part of the crisis we face.

US should not have made concessions to Russia over Ukraine, German minister says Defence ministers criticise Trump’s approach to ending war resting on Kyiv forfeiting territory and Nato membership

This is "negotiation" in the age of Trump. For NATO and Ukraine, a shit sandwich. For Russia, everything.

And you don't know shit about me or my background. Really sorry about the pony though.

Can't explain why you're watching, that's between you and your chosen deity, but FOTUS demonstrating how he doesn't understand trade (among so many things) for all to see is...no, *would be* disqualifying for anybody else.

I didn't like how he handled Israel either but I can tell the difference between a persuadable politician and an off-the-handle kook. YMMV.

Still, given the legislature he had to work with, I still say he did far more than anyone could have expected.

Sorry about the pony.

Oh, you didn't get your pony? So sorry.

The "crushed a railway worker strike" ignores the fact that he went back and got what the workers were looking for after the railroads got running but y'know, doesn't fit the narrative.
