Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

an odd moment was the president posting an image wearing one glove and posing with xi, a photoshopped blonde woman, and a row of droids the president running an overtly political campaign ad paid for by the us government is a sign of blatant corruption and disregard for the rule of law

I get the feeling that Meta tried SO HARD to make this mascot thing the cuddliest lil’ guy ever but all I see is an unholy amalgamation of the Snuggle fabric softener teddy bear & the Adipose Babies from Doctor Who. Its an echo of both but not either, and feels viscerally WRONG

The original four seasons of "Saved by the Bell" aired during my four years of high school, so it always kind of felt like Principal Belding was my principal, too.😔 Going to see if SbtB is streaming anywhere for a hit of late-night nostalgia.

Wiley Nickel (D-NC) makes such a valid point here about voting all the way down ballot and not leaving any race without a vote. In 2020 Cherie Beasley lost her election for NC Supreme Court by 401 votes. Let’s get a #BlueWaveIn40Days by voting for every Democrat on the ballot.

The hypocrisy is the consistency. They will say and do anything, no matter how humiliating it would be to a non power-mad sociopath, if it gains them an iota more power. This is common among those attracted to tyrants.

I should've said one "popular" idea. And as people are pointing out, it wasn't even really his idea. I guess the same goes for Musk. These dweebs steal other people's ideas and go "I'm a genius! All you need to do is steal!" and then they made AI so they can democratize that "genius." Cool.

It didn’t have to be this way. Trump had no clear reason to launch a war with Iran, but did have very clear reason to believe that gas prices would soar. He did it anyway. Now it could go from bad to worse, and there’s no end in sight.

Not sure if a one season foreign shows counts, but I just finished the Korean drama "Beyond Evil" last night, and it was fantastic. The show itself was really great, but the acting elevated it into something truly special. Just sitting here listening to the score because I'm so bummed it's over.

The only path forward is an openly antagonistic press. No more delicately navigating access. No more attending press conferences or avails. All investigation. All amplifying Trump admin defectors and detractors. Call out the bullshit. Stop being polite.
Trump truth social post: I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is also why the administration made sure to tell everyone it was AI that blew up the school in Iran. Somehow the fucking idiots who keep pushing AI are either unable or unwilling to realize they're being used to cover for this shit. "IT HAS USES!" Yes, being blamed for killing kids.
