This has all the same energy as a rando TikTok influencer giving medical advice with extreme confidence and zero expertise.

Trump begging Putin to let him buy diesel is the worst display of weakness from an American president, ever. www.thebulwark.com/p/hes-desper...
thebulwark.com
He’s Desperate, Stupid, Weak, and Desperate
Trump panics over diesel and begs Putin for help.

I guess Republicans who want to rewrite history by claiming that they were going to cruise to midterm wins if Trump didn’t go to war with Iran forgot that Democrats dramatically outperformed their 2024 numbers in virtually every single race in 2025 BEFORE Trump started his war.

Still waiting for my bookstore.org shipment from my preorder way back in March, the minute JVL told us to do so. 🤣
bookstore.org
Bookshop.org: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.
A better way to buy books online. Every purchase financially supports local independent bookstores.

I'm not sure which political strategist told him it would make him appear down to earth or folksy or likeable by constantly saying that he finds his job baffling but I don't think it's going to work out for him.

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Trump: “For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst ‘personalities’ on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT”
Tell Shannon Bream of FoxNews that it’s not the Save Act, it’s the Save America Act, a big difference! Also, when she insists on having lightweight Democrat Congressmen, such as Jake Auchincloss, on her not very hard hitting show, she should correct them when they spew out Democrat propaganda and lies. She never does! I always close deals, unlike the Dems, and did great with China in every way, also, unlike the Dems! For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst “personalities” on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

A lot of people dying for President Trump's sins makes him the opposite of Jesus, when you think about it -- kind of the anti-Christ.

Anyone watching that speech has no idea whether Trump is escalating or deescalating the war with Iran. But to be fair, neither does he so🤷‍♂️.

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Kamlager-Dove: Nobody said that about the January 6ers, did they? So, they didn’t comply. You know what they got for not complying with the law? A pardon from Trump. And dozens of them have gone out to commit additional crimes. So, I am so sick of the hypocrisy and the bullshit.

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

its reprehensible. its blatantly illegal, reckless to the point of outright depravity, for the government to reflexively defend every outrage committed by its personnel prior to gathering the facts. to spit in the faces of its citizens and blame the people it mows down in the streets. fucked
