Trump to crowd: “It’s amazing. I can say the stupidest things, and you clap.” Crowd: claps In the history of dumb fucking cults, MAGA is by far, the fucking dumbest.

Wtaf is this question my university just asked me about my project?
Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as promoting DEIA, climate change research, or non-compliant to any Presidential Executive Orders?

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Part of an old Jewish (Hillel) saying goes, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” Last night, the most visible part of our national press corps showed they won’t stand up for each other. And they undermined not just themselves, but every local news reporter who must put up with far worse.

There's a famous story about Joe Stalin making a speech in 1937. When he was done, the audience began clapping wildly but then everyone was afraid to stop. They kept going for 11 minutes. Finally one guy had enough and stopped, and then everyone else could too. That guy was imprisoned for 10 years.

We’ve opened the strait that was never closed, ceasing a ceasefire for a war that was never a war, stopping Iran from charging tolls because tolls are illegal, all so Trump can charge his *own* tolls because *his* tolls are legal. This will hurt affordability which is a hoax anyway

Trump on Iranian leaders, June 16: "We’re dealing with people that I think are very rational people. They were nice to deal with. They were strong people, smart people." Trump on Iranian leaders, today: "They're scum. They're sick people. They're led by sick people."

“Daddy?” “Yes Johnny?” “Donald Trump deported my friends, closed my school, forced you to sell the family farm and took mommy’s cancer medicine away, so why did you vote for him again?” “Because we needed to paint the reflecting pool, son.”

If the Spanish language triggers you, world flags anger you, and an uplifting message against hate sends you into a rage, you might be a white supremacist.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

There is a major political organization allied with the president that got so mad a Latino artist was tapped to play at the Super Bowl they made a whole alternative show. We should all take a moment to reflect on that. It is so blatantly racist.

The TACO cycle: Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank. So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.
