So we’re going to give $5000 to murderers in prison? To billionaires like Musk? To people living abroad? People dying in hospices or permanent residents of mental institutions? Homeless people who don’t have bank accounts? What is this money for exactly?

My first reaction was that you can’t use the mnemonic HOUSE anymore.

A guy who was unfit to be president chose a guy who was completely, tragically unfit to be Secretary of Defense and the Republican senators, who should have known better, voted to put the drunken talk show host in charge of our military. The troops are paying for that terrible decision.

This is a perfect encapsulation of the entire Trump administration: Doing something unnecessary in order to shovel tax money to donors and creating new problems in the process. This useless wall is actually going to cut off access to the river used by local people, tourists, and animals.

This story about a Texas based oil company showing up in Greenland without permission and dropping off equipment isn’t getting a lot of media coverage. It’s illegal to drill for oil in Greenland due to new laws passed. The big question is why this company feels so emboldened.

I was truly shocked when I heard the Rachel Maddow report on this. What on earth is the plan? Does the Texas oil company have reason to believe they can show up & start drilling in a foreign country without being stopped? Can a Brazilian oil company show up & start drilling in Texas if they want?

Maybe if Karolyn Leavitt had written him some love letters and did whatever else Natalie Harp does for him, she might have have been chosen to be saved. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️ It would be interesting to find out the maximum number of escapees that Trump was told he could take. Did he negotiate with the SS?

One more damn thing that will have to be codified into law. We didn’t need a law to force POTUS to give assistance using need rather than politics as the guideline before because we never elected someone who made all his decisions based on loyalty to him. Another example of how Trump is the worst.

This reminds me that when Biden was president, FEMA was smeared so badly by the Right that FEMA agents out in the field were actually shot at.

How could Ms McCain think she could get away with lying about the Covid vax causing a miscarriage when she wrote about her 2019 miscarriage for the NYT & then had a healthy baby in 2020? My fav part is all the MAGA nuts are confidently proclaiming no one who ever got the vax can now have a baby. 🙄

My nightmare scenario around Trump’s death has always been if it happened under mysterious circumstances. The idea of him being killed when the press had no idea he wasn’t on the plane with them is unimaginable. 🥶

Great read if you’re interested in the catering truck scandal. Very informative on why the press needs to know where POTUS is at all times.

Or the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt’s husband who is in his 60’s. And by the way, there seems to be a strong link between autism & older sperm donors. I have long suspected that Trump is eager to find a link between vaccines & autism so he can explain how his “perfect genes” produced Baron.

I love this ad because it reflects the reality of modern America. Everyone I know has a mixed race child or children in their family—if JD Vance wasn’t such a jerk he would be a great example of that.

She’s a raving lunatic who went from manufacturing meth to faith healer and now makes $2million a year as a Christian leader. I feel sorry for the ignorant people who gobble up her lies and reward her with showers of money. I suppose she’s merely an entertainer like a novelist or a movie director.

They’ll spend $millions of park service money, make a big mess, discover that what they want to do is impossible, and leave it to others to try and repair the damage. All because Trump doesn’t listen to experts.

I hope the catering truck got a thorough airing out after President Stinky was stuffed inside. Imagine the fear pheromones oozing out and adding to the smell of makeup, hairspray, old girdle, body braces, and incontinence diapers. 😷

The voters wd be crazy to vote for this guy. He worked in cement for 5 or 6 or 7yrs depending on who you ask. Then a year as Bongino’s podcast producer. Now part-time bookkeeper at his Catholic Church. He lives in a house bought by Duffy. He needs to finish growing up before becoming a congressman.

It strikes me that the biggest complaint that Trump & his minions have is that the average American doesn’t look like a millionaire. Oz is mad that that everyone is too fat. Duffy is mad that people don’t dress up while traveling. Trump is mad that cities are dirty—even the trees.

Maybe airing a reality TV show showcasing the Transportation Secretary driving around the country on an extended luxury vacation paid for by lobbyists, having a fabulous time with his 9 kids, isn’t such a great idea when average Americans are struggling to pay for basics like food & gas.

While we definitely need someone that will be willing to tackle the corruption of the Trump administration, we will also need to massively beef up the IRS. There is a lot of tax evasion happening now that is not being pursued because the IRS has been greatly reduced.

I can’t believe there isn’t more outcry about this. To spend so much of our money so that our energy prices will stay higher and produce more carbon into the atmosphere of our sick planet is outrageous and completely irresponsible.

He accounts for Baby Boomers leaving the job force as to why we need fewer jobs but doesn’t bring up the young adults entering the workforce. Newsflash: the baby boomers have been retiring for the last 20 years. This is not something that just happened this year.

When Grok was rolled out it was too liberal because reality has a liberal bias. So Musk had to get his programmers to narrow the information sources. I suppose this will be the eternal battle: How to limit the AI info intake yet keep it up to date.

I would love to see him try to run for re-election. That would mean the last year of his presidency would be spent doing 1 rally a week & the rest of the week recovering. Plus we’ve seen that he’s not capable of holding the attention of crowds anymore—he glitches, repeats himself, & tires easily.

I hope every news outlet has a big chart showing job growth in the past decade so everyone can see clearly how Trump is terrible at his job. I hope Maria Bartiromo puts on her sad face when Scott Bessant comes on and tells her how this indicates a Golden Age is right around the corner.

Fraud—especially healthcare fraud—is MAGA code for POC getting government assistance. It’s not the corporations bilking the government out of millions, it’s the neighbor who isn’t white who jumped through hoops and got some medical coverage so his kid could get help with her asthma.

It’s frightening that the president is so insulated from reality. He has no interest in going outside his bubble but depends on his minions who give him fake news because they want to make sure the boss likes them. Look at Pirro. She had to work in the real world and now she has to face his wrath.

“We’ve taken in $100s of billions of dollars…” …that he had to pay back to the businesses that initially paid the tariffs. So explain how that helps the economy? Also funny how he used to say the tariffs were bringing in trillions until they had to be paid back.

Given all the allegations against him, I find it hard to believe this was merely an unlucky accident. Perhaps it’s a threat to his ex “Keep your mouth shut because worse things could happen.”

I’ve listened to 3 different fact checking podcasts about his Dana Bash interview & all 3 covered different lies. For example RFK stated that Lyme disease was caused by scientists. Fact: Scientists discovered evidence that Lyme disease infected animals 60,000 years ago. My point is he is a liar.
