He's Just So Stupid

Trump says he absolutely hates the photo of him on the cover of Time, so please share this cropped section of it with everyone you know

Could he, you know, just pay that money in taxes?

I think we should stop getting into the crime debate with them even if has gone down IMO. High crime or increasing crime is not a legal reason to deploy federal troops to cities.

I also wish there were more “shut up and answer my question” energy.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Why does ICE need camouflage anyway? And, um, is he wearing Vans?

Are businesses being shut down and owners arrested for hiring workers who are ineligible to work in the US?

Bad Bunny is awesome. Check out his recent shows in San Juan. Can’t wait to see what he does for the Superb Owl.

REMINDER: Rs can nuke the filibuster whenever they want and pass whatever budget they like, but they won’t bc they know they’ll never get it back and then they’ll lose their unjustifiable grip on power forever.

They don’t want a budget, they want accomplices. Don’t do it. Hold the line.

It is also unfortunate that White House leadership has decided to use American consumers as a hostage or pawn in the trade negotiations. American consumers also voted for President Trump (not sure why that's relevant).
Why aren't we expecting news on Tuesday of substantial support for our consumers?

It's an international commodities market. They go where they can get the best prices. So should we.

Sweaty ass crack

You don’t have to swallow frogs Klein and Coates show that if you don’t know what your core beliefs are, you’re going to get played.

I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about Ta-Nehisi Coates & Ezra Klein. Andrea Pitzer says “lost” folks like Klein “don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history and what it is exactly that they’re doing”. [degenerateart.beehiiv.com]

You won't read a better summation of the Hesgeth/Trump show than this one...

"If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together."

- Donald Trump

Seriously, we're jamming 15 years of Nazi history into a few months - parallels to the killing of Horst Wessel (1930) to the mentally incompetent Hitler living in a delusional fantasy world in his bunker (1945).

Amazing how much more lucid Trump was just a couple of years ago. He clearly is not functioning to the level required to carry out his job.

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

From The Gettysburg Address to this.

Rep. Greg Casar: “There are more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans here in Washington D.C. today.”

Casar is on 🔥 and this is exactly the call-out we need.

Or we could, you know, have individual private bathrooms for use by anybody. Like we all have in our homes. It’s a weird world we live in where I have to share a bathroom with anybody.

“The president is crazy and hell-bent on shutting the government down.”

I missed the ending of yesterday’s war?

He’s not in his right mind and unable to carry out his responsibilities.
