Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Do you ever think about how George Washington had no idea what a dinosaur was.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The gig, as they say, is up.

Oh, look, just like Nixon’s enemies list from his "Political Enemies Project." They're lack of original ideas is astounding. I guess they're coming for all of us now.

Zoom in: In a press statement, Paramount said its bid is backstopped by the Ellison family and RedBird Capital in addition to $54 billion debt "fully committed" by Bank of America, Citi and Apollo." The intrigue: While Paramount's initial press statement didn't include a mention of sovereign wealth funds, a separate securities filing said its other outside financing partners include the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Abu Dhabi's L'imad Holding Company, the Qatar Investment Authority (Qatar) and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners.

The hostile bid Paramount is launching to get Warner is backed by the Saudis, Abu Dhabi, and Qataris (and Jared).

I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Silly question probably, but doesn’t Congress decide if farmers should get a taxpayer bailout because Trump fucked them with his tariffs?

WHEN THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE THE COMPLETE, GODDAMN EPSTEIN FILES????? 🤨

Jonathan Turley is obsessed with me to the point that it's creepy. I suppose I can't expect more from a guy who is essentially just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Tom Cotton succinctly explains MAGA foreign policy www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/12/tom-...

Tom Cotton is a Nazi sympathizer.

He is the slimiest, most transparent apologist for the Trump regime.

He barely nuzzles out Graham for that honor.

Anyone else just refreshing Truth Social, waiting for the all caps post where he orders Lindsey Halligan to arrest the Nobel Committee?

Remember all those Donald Trump again wins The Donald Trump Trophy at the Donald Trump Invitational Golf Tournament held at the Donald Trump Golf Course?

But it's the new Donald Trump Peace Prize.

Trump announces 1500% tariffs on Lutefisk

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

“Nothing will be torn down."
-- Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

Cheney hated Trump is the new Adolf loved dogs

A democratic sweep was the perfect way to honor Dick Cheney's death. Well done, everyone. See you tomorrow.

They LITERALLY campaigned on making children go hungry as a political statement and they can't figure out why they lost.

LOL

Fucking Bluesky. Didn't take long for it to become exactly like every other platform.

Didn't take long for BS to end up exactly like every other platform.

Oh. Constructive purpose. Post have to have a constructive purpose on this platform, do they?

And who decides what is and is not "constructive?"

Yeah, I don't think I'll be posting much here anymore.

MAGA call the ozone hole a hoax. NASA’s greatest unsung mission was saving our butts from ozone depletion. It’s working!

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.
