Wait a minuteโ€”is that โ€œBoard of Peaceโ€ or โ€œBored of Peace?โ€ Considering Trump has bombed half a dozen countries and threatened war with several others, it seems more like the latter.

No. Saying things like this actually downplays the severity of his actions. Trump is a fascist aligned with Putin, and heโ€™s acting accordingly. Destroying our European alliances, annexing sovereign countries, trampling the rights of U.S. citizens, all of it is the point, not simply a distraction.

A complete abuse of their authority. Thereโ€™s no way her post could be construed to be a physical threat in the slightest.

So they supposedly had evidence that bolstered their narrative but waited a week to say anything? Bullshit.

I was just thinking wistfully back on the kind of presidential scandals and controversies we had under Obama, which included when it was discovered that he liked arugula and the time he wore a tan suit.

Even the first shot was fired from the side. The freeze frame makes that clear. Donโ€™t even give them an inch, Gallego.

The extent to which virtually everyone in this administration is malevolent, lying scum is truly breathtaking.

Exactly. Itโ€™s infuriating. You can freeze the video on the frame at the moment Ross fires the first shot, and thereโ€™s no debating the fact that his feet are planted to the left of the left front tire.

Tapperโ€™s question implies the first shot was justified. The video makes it clear that EVERY shot, including the first one, was fired when Ross was standing to the left of the car. It infuriates me when mainstream media pretends thereโ€™s any doubt about this.

If you need any more proof that the MAGA right is literally delusional, consider the fact that they think Rossโ€™s body-cam footage shows him being hit by the car. They could just as accurately claim it shows the DOJ releasing the remaining 99% of the Epstein files.

Accurate quote from Michelle Goldberg: โ€œAll of us, citizens and immigrants alike, are being ruled by people who think life is a privilege bestowed by authority, and death is a fair penalty for disobedience.โ€

The constant lies, the gaslighting, the cruelty, flouting the law, the rank indecencyโ€ฆ Iโ€™m so tired of it all. The candidate who pledges legal consequences for these sociopaths from the top on down gets my vote in 2028.

MAGAโ€™s take: Letโ€™s ignore the clear, close-up video in favor of the much more distant one from an angle that obscures most of what happened but which, when you squint, kind of makes it look like the killer got nudged by the left front corner of the car as the victim turned hard right, away from him.

Not court orderโ€” Federal Law.

Fear grips Caracas as a new wave of repression is unleashed in Venezuela โ€” The Washington Post Venezuelaโ€™s government launched a far-reaching crackdown after Maduroโ€™s ouster, detaining journalists and civilians and sending armed gangs to the streets.

How long will it take for Maria Machado to realize how stupid she was to think Trump gives a fuck about democracy anywhere, let alone in Venezuela?

White House Refuses to Rule Out Summary Executions of People on Its Secret Domestic Terrorist List The Trump administration ignored questions about whether it would order the killings of those on its NSPM-7 list โ€” even while answering our other queries.

This isnโ€™t getting near enough media attention.

The right is condemning Trumpโ€™s post about Rob Reiner as if remarks like thisโ€”chock full of childishness, revolting narcissism, rank stupidity, and abject crueltyโ€”werenโ€™t an everyday thing for Trump.

Back in the day, as a typical white kid, I had no idea the Zeppelin song The Crunge was a James Brown โ€œtribute/parody/rip-off,โ€ to quote Robert Christgau. Iโ€™m sure most kids didnโ€™t know that. โ€œHave you seen the bridge?โ€ We all thought Robert Plant was looking for the Golden Gate or something.

Before the election, I used to see Trumpers on social media saying Project 2025 was made up by liberals to make Trump look bad.

โ€œMediocreโ€ is being too kind.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Has Trump ever met a sex trafficker he didnโ€™t like?
