When a man with nukes starts talking about revoking citizenship because he doesn’t like someone’s opinion, we’re way past red flags. We are deep in “emperor with no clothes and no brakes” territory. And the GOP is just nodding along like bobbleheads on a dashboard straight to hell.
A Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump dated July 12, 2025, at 9:42 AM. In the post, Trump says he is considering revoking Rosie O'Donnell’s U.S. citizenship because she is not in the “best interests” of the country. He calls her a “Threat to Humanity” and suggests she should stay in Ireland “if they want her.” The post ends with “GOD BLESS AMERICA!” and shows 1.56k ReTruths and 8.14k Likes.

20 girls died in TX after a flood warning underestimated the danger. Why? Trump slashed NOAA. Fired forecasters. Cut weather data. Billionaires got tax breaks. Families got body bags. Cuts don’t cause storms. They just make sure more people die in them
A photo of a nearly submerged school bus trapped in deep floodwaters during a storm, surrounded by dark trees and heavy rain. Overlaid bold white text reads: “This is what ‘budget cuts’ look like.” Below it: “20 girls. One storm. Zero accountability.” The image conveys the deadly consequences of underfunded disaster forecasting and emergency response systems.

H.R.1 doesn’t “ban” abortion—they just strip Medicaid from any clinic that provides it, even legally. In states like MI where it’s still legal, this starves providers. Unless you’re rich? Good luck. It’s not pro-life. It’s “give birth, barefoot, with no rights.”
Bold text graphic with a black background. The message reads:
"H.R. 1 prohibits any provider that offers abortion services from receiving federal Medicaid funding, even if abortion is legal in the state."
The phrase about funding is highlighted in red for emphasis

FDR taxed the rich and built the American middle class. This bill? It does the opposite. Tax breaks for billionaires, cuts to healthcare and food for kids. This isn’t policy—it’s punishment. We deserve better. #BigBeautifulBill
Black-and-white image of President Franklin D. Roosevelt smiling and leaning on a railing with a cane in hand. Next to him, bold white text on a black background reads: “Seems like a good time to remind everyone that FDR RAISED taxes on the rich significantly and in doing so got us Medicare, Social Security, a jobs program and built an American middle class.” Text is attributed to @mayawiley

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Every Republican just voted NO on SNAP benefits for kids under 12. But billionaires? They're getting tax breaks. Feeding hungry children = too expensive. Rewarding the rich = business as usual. Disgusted doesn’t even begin to cover it.

A dreamy, whimsical image featuring a rustic bee house covered in flowers and vines with a glowing golden light in the background. A large bee flies near the center with sparkles trailing behind it.

Trump just told Iran: Surrender or we’ll keep bombing you. That’s not foreign policy—it’s a tantrum with drones. Pretty sure that’s illegal without Congress. But who’s stopping him? Congress? Please! Mike Johnson’s an eunuch in a red tie. #Trump #Iran

How to throw the worst birthday party ever: Step 1: Be Donald Trump. Step 2: Spend millions on tanks, troops, and flags. Step 3: Still can’t fill a park. Meanwhile... over 12 million people (and counting) showed up around the globe to protest you. Happy No One Likes You Day, I guess. 🎉
A two-part image comparison. The top photo shows a sparsely attended official event with a stage labeled "U.S. Army," surrounded by empty areas and a small crowd. The caption reads, "All in favor of fascism..." The bottom photo shows a massive, packed protest crowd stretching down a city street, with the caption, "Those opposed..." The image contrasts the low turnout at a pro-Trump event with the overwhelming number of people protesting against him.

Newsom’s speech? It was the political version of rolling up your sleeves, grabbing a mic, and saying: “Not today, fascist Barbie.” 💅🏼 For once, it didn’t sound like DNC 💩 It sounded like someone finally pissed off enough to throw punches and a clear message: We’re not gonna be bullied by Trump.

A woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes stands indoors, wearing a blue tank top. Bold text over the image reads: "29 Americans in 2023 were killed by an immigrant. 8,842 were killed by white men.

Somewhere, George Washington just choked on his wooden teeth. Harvard’s stepping up with a pocket Constitution in one hand and a reality check in the other. Because when a wannabe king tries to rewrite the rules, the scholars roll in. #OriginalIntentMyAss #HarvardVsTreason

A close-up of a fictional newspaper front page. The bold headline reads “FOLLOW THE MONEY” in large capital letters. Beneath it, in smaller text, are news blurbs about Lesotho granting Starlink a license after tariff threats, Vietnam fast-tracking approvals, and Congo reversing a ban—highlighting how global Starlink deals align with U.S. trade pressure. The design mimics traditional print journalism to emphasize how real stories can be buried beneath flashy headlines

Imagine breaking every commandment, then cosplaying as the Pope. Trump’s campaign slogan writes itself: ‘Make Hypocrisy Holy Again.’ If this made your eye twitch, you belong here. Reposts welcome—let’s piss off the right people!
1950s cartoon family gathered for Bible study. Kid calls out the contradiction between Christian values and supporting Trump. Dad responds like it’s obvious: ‘We just preach that stuff, Billy. Practicing it is for suckers.’ Vintage vibes meet modern-day hypocrisy.

No wonder we keep hearing “the rich get richer.” From 1980 on, income growth exploded for the top 1%—while the bottom 50% barely crawled. Now throw in billionaire tax breaks + Trump’s tariff circus? That gap isn’t closing—it’s a chasm swallowing the middle class. #WealthInequality #TaxTheRich
Bar graph comparing post-tax income growth in the U.S. by income group for two time periods: 1946–1980 and 1980–2014. From 1946–1980, the bottom 50% saw the highest growth (129%), while the top 1% saw the lowest (58%). From 1980–2014, the top 1% had the highest growth (194%), while the bottom 50% had the lowest (21%). The graph highlights a dramatic shift in income growth favoring the wealthy after 1980

Elon called Navarro “dumber than a bag of bricks” because Trump’s tariffs are nuking the stock market. So now we get front row seats to “Who Will Daddy Choose?” Will it be: A) The rocket man with a God complex? B) The economist who thinks tariffs are magic beans? Spoiler: We all lose.
A humorous caricature of Elon Musk and Peter Navarro in a boxing ring, both wearing red boxing gloves and exaggerated expressions. Elon, on the left, has a confident smirk, while Peter, on the right, looks flustered. Their gloves clash mid-air as if they’re in the middle of a dramatic showdown. The background is simple and off-white, keeping the focus on the comedic brawl
