I nominate his excellency Rufus T. Firefly, who did such a great job with Freedonia under similarly trying circumstances.

Officer Krupke, we're down on our knees
There's a nutjob in the White House

Hopefully, the Jets will peacefully merge with the Sharks and work together to give the West Side the athletic dancing and Sondheim/Bernstein tunes it deserves.

and i'm sure ppl will say, sure, but presidents have used force without congressional authorization for decades. and yeah, that's true. but nothing like this. not even the pretext of a legal argument, the motion of seeking public & congressional support. we are so far beyond norms.

Nowhere in the Constitution is contemplated the idea, "When baby has a tantrum, people die."

Live for a thousand years, you say? Like a certain Reich? Always stay on-brand, pal.

This peroration sounds like it was lifted right out of an oversized Hallmark card.

He seemed, er, juiced earlier, but now it's like gas slowly escaping from a balloon.

who did this

I hope that in my lifetime some editor somewhere insists that his writers learn the difference between a fact and fact-by-assertion.

Well, we didn't mean ALL political violence, obviously.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Seems like the Fuhrer heard the same stories re the Dem "strategy" being to lie there like flounder and stare blankly. You disarm in front of this guy and he'll just kick you harder.

He's going to stand there and berate the Democrats more and more explicitly and lewdly, my only hope is that they do walk out.

Sitting there and taking it is abused partner behavior. He is enjoying your attention. Leave. Just leave.

(Watching on TV is not the same. Ish.)

Not all immigrants, legal or illegal, are culpable for the bad or negligent acts of one immigrant anymore than all people born in Florida became guilty of mass murder the day that Charles Whitman climbed that belltower in Texas and started blowing people away.

The gaslighting is incredible. If he and camp commandant Miller were only arresting "the worst of the worst" there would have been a very limited movement against them. But they're arresting everyone, indiscriminately, including citizens, and killing them too.

trump going on about corruption and then slandering somali-americans makes my blood boil

His tariff rates are INSANE

He just said he gave the AI companies permission to build new coal plants in your town, whether you like it or not, so as to power their data centers?

Trump is going to fix healthcare by, and I will truly never get over how stupid this argument is: "I want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead give the money directly to the people so they can buy their own healthcare"

(by giving the money to big insurance companies)

"What have we got for the Americans, Johnny?"
"Well, Don, the Americans get a lifetime supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat!"

So far, this bears a painful resemblance to the Crazy Eddie's commercials of my youth.

Trump won't recognize the Epstein victims in the crowd tonight. He hasn't seen them since they were 14
