I have arrived at the unbelievably surreal conclusion that I am more capable, qualified, and morally centered than most members of the Supreme Court and virtually all those occupying the White House. At no point in my life did I think I would ever say such an outrageous thing.

On renaming key agencies of the federal government, I propose the following:
- Department of Defensiveness (DoD)
- National Insecurity Agency (NIA)

Damn I hate these Cabinet heads. Noem is stupid, unqualified, and looks utterly ridiculous with her MAGA-fied makeup and goofy outfit.

Gabbard is an imbecile. Perfect for a Trump Cabinet.

I'm so tired of Trump's MAGA haiku bullshit. He introduced his grand plan on tariffs today and the improvised screed slathered with hyperbole and lies makes zero sense. But I get the gist. Well, news flash, BLOTUS. Your poorly conceived tariff fetish will not yield anything good for the U.S.

GOP Congress members questioning Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Patel: "Thanks so much for showing up today, I recall with fondness how we worked together and how awesome you are. I'd like to thank you for the super MAGA great work you do and that all this bad stuff is just nonsense. I love you, man!"

As I figured, Ratcliffe and Gabbard lied to Congress. Let us see if Congress will assert its rightful power to check these knuckleheads.

Just watch: Trump's team of gaslighters will recast the Yemen OPSEC breach as having been orchestrated by the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic. Mr. Goldberg was in fact invited into the group chat.

GOP members of Congress are bloody cowards, giving a pass to the outrageous ineptitude displayed by Pete Hogsnot and other members of the circus Cabinet. Every single day this administration demonstrates its dishonor and ignorance.

If Democrats think a 2028 ticket featuring AOC and Sanders is a good idea, that party is proving yet again it didn't learn a damn thing. Again.

No idea who made this. But it’s made to be shared so here you go.

I wondered when this was going to happen.

I do have a growing list of people I’d like to see sent to the Moon and left there.

"As the Supreme Court has made crystal clear, the proper recourse for a party subject to an injunction it believes is legally flawed — and is indeed later shown to be so flawed — is appellate review, not disobedience." - US District Judge James Boasberg

Don’t be fooled. Trump and Musk did not “rescue astronauts abandoned by President Biden.” Trump, as always, is lying.

Were Biden's pardons signed with autopen? President Trump claims 'many' of Biden's pardons are void because they were signed automatically and not by hand.

Trump lies. All. The. Time. Virtually every single word coming out of his head hole is a lie.

Saying it once again because it efficiently sums up all my feelings about the man and his team: Donald Trump remains a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States.

"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people." - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

What a blithering idiot. This twit, her stupid boss, and an inept Cabinet is so beyond absurd it shocks the soul.

We have become the butt of jokes, even in the developing world.

Today is another reminder of how our government is now run by a bunch of assholes. Assholism? Assism? Oh wait. Trumpism.

Trump 'n' Musk are breaking things that are not broken and not fixing things that need to be fixed.

Liars, frauds, and lunatics compose the entire leadership of the United States Government's Executive Branch. We are exeriencing a live action version of Idiocracy.

Ok that made me laugh

Dear Attorney General Bondi: On February 10, 2025, I received a memorandum from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, directing me to dismiss the indictment against Mayor Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, which would require leave of court. I do not repeat here the evidence against Adams that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed federal crimes; Mr. Bove rightly has never called into question that the case team conducted this investigation with integrity and that the charges against Adams are serious and supported by fact and law. Mr. Bove's memo, however, which directs me to dismiss an indictment returned by a duly constituted grand jury for reasons having nothing to do with the strength of the case, raises serious concerns that render the contemplated dismissal inconsistent with my ability and duty to prosecute federal crimes without fear or favor and to advance good-faith arguments before the courts. When I took my oath of office three weeks ago, I vowed to well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I was about to enter. In carrying out that responsibility, I am guided by, among other things, the Principles of Federal Prosecution set forth in the Justice Manual and your recent memoranda instructing attorneys for the Department of Justice to make only good-faith arguments and not to use the criminal enforcement authority of the United States to achieve political objectives or other improper aims. I am also guided by the values that have defined my over ten years of public service. You and I have yet to meet, let alone discuss this case. But as you may know, I clerked for the Honorable J. Harvie Wilkinson III on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and for Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. Both men instilled in me a sense of duty to contribute to the public good and uphold the rule of law, and a commitment to reasoned and thorough analysis. I have always considered it my o…

That's adorable. Even the mere perception of conflict of interest is a conflict of interest.

But his hair is amazing. Really, really amazing.

He is an unqualified imbecile. As is his boss and most of his colleagues in the Cabinet. Collectively they represent a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States.

Few things funnier and darker than a twit like JD Vance lecturing European leaders on "democracy."

Tulsi Gabbard, who is very unqualified for the job, is now head of our contry's intelligence system. Republicans in Congress, despite many having misgivings, nevertheless capitulated to Trump As they routinely do. They obey in advance.

"Suppose the president commits murder. You can only remove him from office on impeachment. What if he continues to murder daily and Congress isn't sitting to impeach him? Oh! the People would rise and restrain him, allowing the mob to do what legal justice must abstain from." —Sen. Wm Maclay (1789)
