The classic "Wooly Willy" game, with a cartoon clown face, a pile of small steel pellets, and a magnetic pencil to let children "draw" eyebrows, hair, and facial hair on the clown.

I mean "his final words" didn't tip you off?

Washington Post headline: "A wartime presidency defined by Trump’s unique political style President Trump is recasting the role of wartime leader in his image, breaking from generations of practice as he attacks his domestic enemies and revels in memes. By Michael Birnbaum"

Katharine Graham just spinning in her fucking grave.

We will also finally have to reckon with the public-private pay disparity. Job security used to be a primary reason for accepting a lower government salary.

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Spencer Hakimian, Tolou Capital Management: “I don’t think people are realising that NOTHING in the global economy works at $120/Oil.

“Nothing.”

This is why I find it interesting that, in the week after this person (the 7th US service member killed in Trump's illegal war), DOD never managed to evacuate them to Ramstein to treat injuries suffered on March 1.

France’s former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has called for sanctions against Israel and the US over their attacks on Iran:

“We say clearly to the United States that their war against Iran is illegal, illegitimate, and dangerous.”

U.S. House Republicans grill Walz, Ellison over fraud in Minnesota social services • Minnesota Reformer Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sought to turn the page Wednesday on the federal law enforcement surge that killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis and turned public opinion against the T...

40 states have a higher improper payment rate than Minnesota.

WY is 5 times higher
SC 4 times
KY is 3.5 times
TX is 3 times.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FRAUD. IT HAS TO DO WITH REPUBLICANS (including the mngop) HATING MINNESOTA FOR BEING BLUE! minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/04/u...

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

This reminds me of that line I saw someone say once (which rang true) that something that makes Trump uniquely able to connect with low-information voters is that he is a low-information voter.

this is insane

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

That's a flunkin'

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

“It’s good for oil and gas companies… good for revenue for the Texas Rail Commission,” he said. “It creates a lot of jobs, a tremendous amount of jobs… so this is good for a lot of people.” Idiot oil co. CEO thinks closing the Strait of Hormuz somehow creates jobs: www.kxan.com/news/nationa...

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Fucking burn it down

LOL cultural hegemony is about to get flattened like a crush car.

The president, breathing heavily and caked with makeup, is incoherently blaming Iran for the October 7 attacks by Hamas

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Why the fuck are we only hearing about this from a ridiculous British tabloid?
