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.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

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"

this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie
Donald Trump posts an image on his Truth Social account. It shows a new uniform for US Space Force members, comprising of an all-black outfit with knee-high black leather boots, black cap, and minimalist looking suit.

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."

It’s the “age is irrelevant” part of that sentiment that has doomed the Democratic Party. When the leaders are all out-of-touch 70+ year olds, we’re never going to attract the youth vote (and corresponding energy and ideas) in meaningful numbers.

Not to be ageist, but age limits (or at least term limits) can’t come soon enough for elected officials!!! I’m saying this as a soon-to-be 60 year old! 70 should be the max age for elective and appointed office, including SCOTUS!

When the last time a car company advertised a car as “self-driving” without federal approval and it killed so many people? It’s not unreasonable to call Tesla’s behavior criminal.

“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.”
