Banning the words “freedom” and “innovation” would improve the clarity of our ruling class’ statements.

“Going to war is never free.” - there, fixed it

ICE recruits should be the first ones shipped off for “war.”

They did a much better job selling the WMD story back in the day than today’s version.

The President who demanded a Nobel Peace Prize for himself sure gave up negotiations quickly to start a war with Iran.

What a disaster, Americans don't want another war in the middle east.

‘Keep bombing people until they stop talking about the Epstein Files’ is the main plank of U.S Foreign Policy in 2026.

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.

The Case for Punching People in the Face Non-violence is great, but if using your words worked, they'd have worked already

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

The man who serves McDonalds at formal events demolished a wing of the White House for a ball room.
Trumps not even there. It’s not the White House dining room. The “America first” president put the Olympic team in a conference room with double cheeseburgers…

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike

This is not a State of the Union. It’s just a live stream of Trump arguing with reality.

James P. McGovern: “He's going to say the economy is great, the tariffs are working, he's ending wars - not starting them, and he's going to spew all kinds of nonsense—

The problem, Mr. Speaker, is the facts are the facts — and the fact is that his economy sucks”

Really having trouble getting past the rage I feel thinking about the same people who use women’s sports as a political cudgel against trans folks also using them as the punchline for their jokes.

Trump brags about murdering Soleimani in his first term. Soleimani was a top Iranian commander who was fighting ISIS at the time. Trump lured him by saying they were going to negotiate, then he murdered him. Republicans clapped for that.

Ever notice where men in sports are politically as opposed to women in sports? Support those who support you.

It’s easy to envision a reset for something like disagreements over tax policy or whatever. Less so when it is like “you are all traitorous scum.”

Brock Nelson, Jackson LaCombe, Jake Oettinger, Kyle Connor, & Jake Guentzel chose not to attend the U.S. men’s hockey team White House event today

Hard to remember a championship moment that lost its shine faster than this U.S. men’s hockey team win

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

The confidence it takes to say all of this while everyone can see the actual facts in real time should be studied medically.

Isn’t it obvious that Trump enjoys us watching his rancid depravity?

Yet again Rep. Al Green understood the assignment.

He was kicked out by the "no safe space" and anti cancel culture crowd.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.
