Imagine raging at the prospect of our tax dollars going to feed hungry kids at public schools, help the poor, bring healthcare to the sick, and support immigrants, but supporting $1.776 billion of our tax dollars going to compensate January 6th insurrectionists, and still somehow expecting us all to believe your political concerns are rooted in Jesus.

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

Back when everyone was still cooing over Hillbilly Elegy, I told the person who showed it to me that it was a pack of lies and the guy was a dangerous fraud. It's not that I double-checked any of his claims, he wasn't important enough back then to care. But everything about him reeked of bullshit.

Melania Trump Slams Baseless Reports Linking Her To Wrong Wealthy Pedophile
WASHINGTON—In an effort to refute what she described as utterly vile attacks on her character, Melania Trump slammed baseless reports this week that linked her to the wrong wealthy pedophile. “Let me clear: While I have deep ties to a certain affluent individual and secret societies involved in pedophilia, I never once sexually harmed children […]

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

People keep posting this crap about how France and Ukraine provided false intel to Trump, who then shared it with Putin. Never a source, just a meme. I suspect that so many people believe it because it *seems* like the kind of thing that Trump would do... www.snopes.com/news/2026/01...

Did Ukraine run 'sting operation' providing false intelligence to US that was leaked to Russia? We inspected
The rumor appeared to stem from a mistranslation of an interview on French news television.

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels wasn’t towards prostitutes, other religions, or undocumented immigrants. Jesus’ harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God’s words to justify exploitation and oppression. Yet many want us to believe the opposite.

I guess it depends where you grew up. The morons that I went to grade school with are now running the country, and building the kind of society that they always wanted. I hadn't pictured this happening, but only because I assumed that more intelligent and mature people would always be in charge.

LinkedIn is awful because of watching so many of your former colleagues lying and claiming credit for work that you know they never did. Sometimes yours. But NextDoor is worse because of finding out that you are, in fact, surrounded by the most horrible racist busybodies you could imagine.

I don't know why this idiot bothers flopping around like a fish, trying to come up with a way to make this sound sensible. Trump's most important discovery, the key to his power, is that his base doesn't fucking care if anything he does makes sense.

She's still a shitty person full of shitty opinions, but there's a certain schadenfreude in seeing her wake up to what a pack of outrageous lies Trump sold to the MAGA hordes. (Or did she know all along, but now it's expedient for her to say it out loud? Who fucking knows... 🙄)
