Maybe it goes without saying, but every day is Opposite Day in the world of Tr*mp's GOP. If you're in their good graces, you're doing something VERY wrong.

Great idea. But I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to find a crime he hasn't already committed.

If a Dem were in office, this court would have ruled in the opposite way 9-0. Which means the Heritage Foundation will make sure a case challenging this ruling is on track to be in front of SCOTUS between November '28 and January '29.

B.J. was cool. The Bear was fun. Sheriff Lobo was an overreaching nightmare scenario of corruption and lawlessness.

Is there any more fitting metaphor for the way this regime works than the fact that lettering that took 30 minutes to install with a cherry picker took 16 hours, breezing past a court deadline, under cover of darkness and behind a giant scaffolding and tarp only put up so the public can't see it?

Yes, vote to end FISA. But don't think for one minute that this administration is going to stop doing it, just because it happens to be illegal. When has illegality stopped them from doing things before?

But Biden was just weaponizing the justice system when he went after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao for this exact same thing. So it must be perfectly okay. Right?

I mean, it kind of goes without saying that virtually everyone this DOJ is currently going after are the result of weaponization. This regime uses 1984 Truthspeak as a playbook, not a warning. To the point that they literally use a place called Truth Social to spread nonstop lies.

Nice try - this is obviously false. Since the President will be the one who decides where those funds go, you can be safely assured that the only criminal who'll benefit from this is Tr*mp himself.

Once upon a Tom in Hollywood @onceuponatom.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
And anyone who believes that anything less than 95% of this money is going to end up in the pockets of Tr*mp himself is kidding themselves.

Criminals are in charge of the justice system and chief lawmaking body of the richest country on earth. There's simpky no analogy strong enough to illustrate this level of lunacy. It's not inmates running an asylum. It's criminals in charge of law!

Monty Hall is a load of crap. When one of the selections disappears, the odds automatically change - for BOTH doors. It doesn't matter what the odds were when you picked. It matters what the odds are right now. And it's 50/50 for either, including the door you've already picked.

If you haven't seen the end of the 2024 film Civil War, I recommend giving it a watch. Because I'm pretty sure someone high up in this regime was taking notes, one of which, in giant block lettering, was "NEED IMPENETRABLE BUNKER"

Sorry, but that would require all the mega corporations to pay more than 12% of revenues to their non C-suite employees. Or (heaven forbid) billionaires to pay fair income taxes. This is America, dammit.

This is my problem too. Sure, it'd be gratifying to see them be more responsible with their votes going forward. But it's like they committed a violent assault and are only now realizing that was a mistake. Good, I guess, but the damage isn't going away just because you feel bad about it.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

Clockwise from top left:
1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”.

3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.”

4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Why wait until November 2028 for this in America? This can happen before the end of THIS YEAR, if we can get "red state" voters to finally admit to themselves that Tr*mp needs to go, and the only way to do it is elect Democratic senators to convict him on the impeachment that is surely on its way.
