The President of the United States just posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and shitting all over the country, and by tomorrow it won't even be news because:

1) It's Trump, and he always does insane things

2) Because he'll do something else even more shocking and degrading then

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

Very presidential!!!

I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)

🤔

As IDF achieves 83% civilian casualty rate, Netanyahu unveils plan to censor whole internet The IDF could not resist boasting that at least 83% of the people it has killed in Gaza are civilians - a murder rate that has surpassed Itamir Ben Gvir's wettest dreams.

Who else can't wait for Netanyahu to control the whole internet? x

Trump and Musk have other people cheat for them when playing games

He is really a brilliant comic.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's caught red handed. He's in the files. We know it. Period. He's part of this cover up... You reap what you sow. He created this. He weaponized it. He's done it from the birth certificate on down... Too cute by half, and now he's caught."

Portrait of Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.

Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,

BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1
