If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

To you still-single men, if your wife ever says “Hey, are you thinking of going to the store?” guess what: You’re going to the store. Even if you weren’t thinking about it at all. ESPECIALLY if you weren’t thinking about it at all. Don’t argue. It’s pointless and you’re wasting store time.

All those Christian lunatics were right — tRump IS the fulfillment of a prophecy. Just not from the Bible. From the words of H. L. Mencken: “As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal.”

tRump spent the last decade loudly claiming that various prominent Democrats were in the Epstein files and promising to release them. Now he can’t understand why his base is obsessed with the Epstein files when everyone knows HE is the most prominent person in them.

“Trump told aides he couldn't understand why people were so obsessed with Epstein and that people didn't understand that Palm Beach in the 90s was a different time.

So far in 2025, it’s tRump doing his usual — bankrupting the company he’s in charge of, just like he’s done six times before. Except now it’s the entire blasted country and the American Fascist Party (formerly known as the #GOP) is enabling him.

In #Ohio, MAGA gerrymandered themselves into a supermajority in 2010. Ohio public schools ranked 5th in the nation. Fifteen years later, they still have a supermajority and Ohio ranks 35 in education.

Jennifer Welch on CNN:

"As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you.

We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities. These policies hurt people.
They use people's faith to lure them in and say, oh, we're family values. But then they don't vote to help women have children.
They don't vote for health care. They don't vote for child care. They demean the poor."

mRNA vaccines represent a medical breakthrough on the same level as Fleming’s discovery of antibiotics in 1928 and the Salk polio vaccine in 1955. What #RFKJr just did is the equivalent of ending antibiotic research in 1932 or pulling support for the Salk vaccine clinical trial in 1954.

You know how most Americans don’t travel outside the U.S.? The proximate reason is they’re too poor to travel. The ultimate reason is the oligarchs don’t want Americans to see what functioning First World societies look like so they won’t realize just how dysfunctional the U.S. has become.
