It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Ok, I donโ€™t want to see my tax dollars being used to bail out farmers in red states who voted for this idiocy.

Trump Brags About How Tariff Pause Made His Friends Even Richer Donald Trumpโ€™s decision to pause his tariffs sent the stock market soaring.

Trump is openly bragging about just how much money his billionaire buddies made off of his dangerous tariff gambit.

โ€œHe made $2.5 million today, and he made $900 million! Thatโ€™s not bad,โ€ Trump said, pointing to financial investor Charles Schwab and Roger Penske, a Nascar team owner, respectively.

Keep in mind that itโ€™s too easy to blame all this shit on 47 alone. Republicans put him here republicans enabled this, and they could stop it at any time but donโ€™t. When you look at your 401(k), remember who did this.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

The Trump administration is incredibly incompetent.

The entire administration is a huge national security risk.

"Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing."

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: โ€œTwo vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
โ€˜My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!โ€™
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.โ€
