His eyes are hollow now. The shine is gone. He wears the look of a man who sold his soul and got nothing in return.

Netanyahu threatens to
silence the NY Times
for its Gaza coverage.
What kind of a shithole
country allows a foreign
leader to destroy the
first amendment rights
of one of America's
leading newspapers?

Kristi Noem says itโ€™s lazy of SOUTH PARK to make fun of women, specifically her for how they look. Maybe. But she seems to think itโ€™s fine to arrest and assault people for how they look.

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Jennings: I think the president is saying to the American people, why are we counting illegal aliens apportioning our political leadership?

Kasparian: Because it's in the constitution, the United States constitution, the supreme court ruled on this in 2019, and they ruled against Trump

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

Despite previously stating in court that it would hold off on enforcing a controversial executive order, the Trump administration has proceeded with efforts to dismantle collective bargaining rights for federal unions across numerous agencies.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

Funny I heard him say the government doesn't have unlimited money, but they have enough to refurbish a plane from Qatar for ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ’ฉ alone, which is expected to cost $1 billion dollars. Yeah, no money for the American people but plenty for billionaires.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I buy my own chicken. I grill it. I make my own tacosโ€”and it still costs too damn much.
Iโ€™ll cap grocery prices.
Meanwhile, Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy (yes, from The Real World) wants a nuclear reactor on the moon.
These people are delusional.

On this day Aug 4, 1944: Anne Frank was arrested after 2 years in hiding.

Not by monsters in uniforms but by neighbors.

Today, governors threaten political enemies with removal.
ICE raids target families.
LGBTQ+ people are banned from bookshelves.

Never again means nothing if you stay silent.

He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And heโ€™s singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And itโ€™ll be a painful realization for them.

still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs
