Remember when they said Obama would ruin the White House with Escalades on the South Lawn?

Those people are really quiet about Trump turning this shit into a gaudy casino

U.S.-funded contraceptives for poor nations to be burned in France, sources say The supplies comprise contraceptive implants and pills, as well as intrauterine devices to help prevent unwanted pregnancies.

U.S.-funded contraceptives worth nearly $10 million are being sent to France from Belgium to be incinerated, after Washington rejected offers from the UN and family planning organizations to buy or ship the supplies to poor nations.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

The corruption is bad enough

But the larger problem is, when you privatize government services, companies might seek to maximize profits-even if it means citizens are underserved

Because their mandate to stockholders is to make money

And if that happens in an emergency situation, people will die

Remember vividly. I was 10. Whoah.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.

We won. This is from my closing statement.

There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

"The tragically bad news, however, is that it is not just a suicide pact. It is a murder-suicide pact. It may end Republican careers, but it will also end tens of thousands of American lives. Many more will suffer."

A Friendly Reminder.

Sen. John Barrasso leaves the door open to voting to support the suspension of Habeas Corpus

Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

President Trump’s special envoy did not employ his own interpreter during three meetings with Russian President Putin, opting instead to rely on translators from the Kremlin, a U.S official and two Western officials tell NBC News.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

We should be grateful to the Lord to now be blessed with having an American on the world stage who embodies good and not evil.

I Don’t Care If MAGA Burns Down Your House Politics can’t work if we only think about Direct Personal Consequences.

They want Trump to shut down a bunch of government programs. They do not have any specific recommendations for programs they believe are wasteful. However they are certain that their pet program is valuable.

Vance: "Which regime in the world has civil nuclear power and enrichment without having a nuclear weapon? The answer is - no one."

Germany, Netherlands, Brazil and Japan all have civil nuclear power and the ability to enrich uranium. None have nuclear weapons.

WTF is going on? Where’s Hegseth?

REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 23 ReTruths 70 Likes 5/4/25, 3:55 PM

Trump says he’s ordered DOJ and DHS to reopen and expand Alcatraz.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

Elon Musk finally meets the press and compares himself to Buddha | CNN Business After dodging interviews with outlets he perceived as unfriendly, Musk sat down with about a dozen mainstream news reporters in the West Wing’s Roosevelt Room to reflect on his time in the Trump admin...

It went, well, not well at all, but it was revealing … read it. Honestly he should have done this more regularly, live if it makes him more comfortable, as it is better to engage with tougher audience than lob off toxic tweets or do pissy interviews with just friendlies. www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/b...

this is legitimately evil

Is that stupid person in the room with us right now?

I've written a couple of times, including in a recent book, about about the Global Engagement Center, which worked to expose networks of Russian and Chinese disinformation around the world. As a result, along with many others, I am on what appears to be an enemies list
