“Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong,” wrote Oscar Wilde, born on this day in 1854. “Who being loved is poor?”

Discrimination has a term limit, after which discrimination is legal? Is that what he said?

Opinion | The GOP’s coordinated attack on the No Kings rally is ridiculous The Republican talking points are out of touch with the reality of Saturday's protests.

Trump and Johnson: Attendees at the “No Kings” rallies (retirees, lawyers, students, teachers, medical and union workers) are terrorists who hate America but the neo-Nazis and Proud Boys who beat the Capitol police with American flags, defecated in the rotunda, and built a gallows are patriots.

Hope this doesn’t affect his Nobel Peace Prize.

Sure, all of Trump’s nominees are horses’ asses, but Caligula nominated his horse, said Leavitt in defense of Trump.

“Let me lick thy shoe,” say press secretary Caliban Leavitt.

This is Leavitt’s parody account, right? No one is this willfully ignorant. (O.K, except for MAGA cultists.)

‪”Then bind me in thy chains undying, and my final ruin I will bear!" say the Republicans. The trouble is, our country is being dragged into hell with them.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, born on this day in 1854: “Whenever Republicans agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.”

Trump and MAGA: Attendees at the “No Kings” rallies (retirees, lawyers, students, teachers, medical and union workers) are terrorists but the neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, and other violent thugs who beat the Capitol police with American flags, defecated in the rotunda, and built a gallows are patriots.

On this day in 2019:
“The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years to ancient Rome,” said Trump. Yes, dating back to when the American president in 44 B.C. threatened to extort Julius Caesar

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

WATCH: “shows their disdain for law enforcement”

Speaker Johnson whines about Democrats disrespecting Capitol police officers, apparently hoping we all forget the literal insurrection that happened (that Trump pardoned everyone for)

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

Bravo, Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch!

“Only full-scale opposition, only full-scale, full-throttle journalism with no fear or favor is the only way out of this…Underneath it all, there’s no satisfying this kind of howling void inside [Trump].”

“Public support for ICE has completely collapsed, including among independents. ICE may be gaining something like pariah status. The masked agents are achieving saturation in our info spaces and may be activating many Americans’ instinctual revulsion at the trappings of totalitarian dictatorship.”

“Confronted with Republican texts that were racist and violent—complete with references to gas chambers—Vance’s first instinct wasn't to condemn those responsible for those messages; his first instinct was to downplay the scandal and go after a Democrat.”

“Smith buil[t] strong criminal cases against Trump, rooted in voluminous evidence…The more Republicans drag him back into the spotlight, the more Smith will be positioned to remind the public about alleged presidential felonies the party would probably prefer to forget.”

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

A conversation with Jack Smith: youtu.be/DR79GW6SvxE?...

Trump threatens to remove WC games from Boston President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to revoke Boston's World Cup matches if local authorities don't get tougher on crime.

Burying the lede until the 8th paragraph:
“World Cup host sites aren't up to Trump. The 11 U.S. cities—plus three in Mexico and two in Canada—are contracted with FIFA, which would face significant logistical and legal issues to make changes in the eight months before the June 11 kickoff.”

“Gaze on, and grovel on thy face.”

“Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for Literature for this,” says Howard Lutnick.

Lawrence: Nixon was driven by an enemies list and a quest for revenge. In the end, it crushed him. Now we have a president who thrives on hate and vengeance, whose enemies list extends beyond individuals to entire blue states and cities filled with Democrats.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

Congrats, MAGA, you’ve owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.
