Remember when I said Iran has *two* navies—only one of which matters strategically—and couldn't believe media wasn't challenging Trump's claim to have "destroyed Iran's Navy" when only the lesser part was sunk? The ships firing in the Strait now are the ones I was talking about.

Re: vibecession one factor for me is feeling cheated paying federal taxes. I'm paying a higher rate than every billionaire to fund a gov't that does far less good, and far more harm, than it used to—while running a bigger deficit. I'll pay for USAID, make the billionaires pay for their fascist shit.

I think sometimes the reason why Trump contradicts himself so much each day is because he forgot what he said yesterday. The other times it’s because he lies so much he can’t keep the lies straight.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

The truth is we’ve always held Donald Trump to a pathetically low standard - the lowest standard any politician has ever been held to. Trump gets away with behavior no other politician would ever get away with. He’s treated like a child who doesn’t know any better. Shameful.

I went to my local No Kings protest in Holland Michigan, and I was impressed by the turnout. Four city blocks like this. And this is republican territory.

Military experts say it will be difficult for the United States to retrieve Iran's nuclear materials. An elderly rapist who shits himself in public says it will be easy. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

Donald Trump is about to accept a gift of a jet from Qatar. This is a gift to him personally. He wants to transfer the jet to his presidential "library" - meaning to his personal use and that of his heirs. More analysis of Trump corruption here www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpU2...

One key aspect of the immigration crackdown is that it’s seemingly based on lies. There wasn’t a “migrant crime wave,” Biden didn’t allow 20M undocumented into the country, etc. But has anybody published an accurate assessment of immigration under Biden? I found this: www.cato.org/commentary/b...

Biden's Plan to End the Border Crisis Is Already Working

The border is still a mess, but the president’s recent immigration actions have already produced meaningful results.

Again: there's no evidence Trump understands what a trade deficit is. He consistently describes it as "a subsidy" to foreign countries, as them "ripping us off." He similarly doesn't understand those goods & services can't be replicated in the US at the same cost. Some can't be replicated at all.

The Alcatraz thing is a perfect illustration of Trump’s addiction to controversy and drama. He just constantly needs to invent new things to yell about.

Racism is when you believe a white guy is innocent after a jury has concluded 34 times that he isn’t, and you immediately decide an immigrant is guilty when the immigrant hasn’t even had a chance to present their defense.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

In 2025, "When they go low, we go high!" is the equivalent of taking a big swig of whiskey to "get rid" of the flu. It's no longer relevant. Different time. Different strategy. We adapt to the time or perish, holding on to nostalgia.

TBH scariest possibility here might be that he actually believes it. This is simply not going to happen, not even close. If he's blustering like usual and retreats, some damage can be undone. If he believes it, we're trapped on this difficult course until he realizes he was wrong. If he ever does.

@realDonaldTrump

When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated. Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year. Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!

“We’re going to make a lot of money, and we’re going to cut taxes for the people of this country” through income from tariffs, Trump said on his way back to Washington from his golf club in New Jersey. “It’ll take a little while before we do that,” he added.

They’ll perform “patriotism” by shoving North Korea-style leader worship + Confederate insurrection in our face. Be prepared
