I spent just shy of 20 mins talking with Mitch McConnell about IRAN, UKRAINE, the situation in MAINE, and even a little bit of Senate history. At around the 20 minute mark, however, my fingers got tired of working the ouija board

We may have blundered our way into a massive strategic failure in Iran, but hey, at least Hegseth can do a lot of pushups

Earlier today, Trump pardoned a turkey named Gobble. If this is anything like his other pardons, someone needs to keep an eye on Gobble and separate him from the underaged poultry

So I was wondering how it came to be that Melania is hosting this AI event at the WH. Turns out Sam Altman was trying to explain the various types of AI models to Trump, and Donald just heard “models” - so he decided that Melania had to host.

Glad to see Trump is taking the time away from his golf schedule to weigh in on really important shit like the Cracker Barrel logo

Taco didn’t really have to fly all the way to Alaska if he was just going to agree to every single thing Putin wants and get nothing substantial in return. He could have just sent an email.

The main question I have about this DC takeover by the national guard is where are the Epstein files?

Are we sure all this focus on Epstein is the right play? Seems like we’ve tried this like 7 times already and Trump always ends up selling himself as some kind of persecuted warrior to his brainless base. Why not keep the focus on the bad policies that will hurt his base?

The Epstein files are in a state of quantum superposition. They exist and don’t exist at the same time.

John Thomas @riverrat71.bsky.social · 13/07/2025
So the timeline is this: 1- We will release the Epstein files 2- We are working on releasing the Epstein files, it’s a lot to go through 3- There are no Epstein files 4- Stop talking about the fucking Epstein files, they were written by Democrats Am I getting it right?

If this bill passes, Democrats need to make sure the stink of it sticks to every republican that voted for it.

Schumer announcing that he got the name changed on the “One Big Beautiful Bill” reminds me of those old Geico commercials- he should have just told us he saved a bunch of money on his car insurance.

Folks, folks - we’re looking at this all wrong. I mean, YES we have a new war in the Middle East, and YES prices keep going up, and YES we are deporting the workers and not the criminals, and YES jobless rate is climbing… -BUT- We legit stopped a Trans girl from getting a fencing trophy

Somewhere out there, a very confused Jose Padilla is wondering why JD Vance was expecting him to show up at a press conference and ask a question.

Since Trump decided not to acknowledge Juneteenth, here ya go HAPPY JUNETEENTH, ESPECIALLY TO THE SICK AND VERY STUPID DEMOCRATS THAT SEEK TO ERASE OUR GREAT HERITAGE BY REMOVING CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS. WE WILL PUT THEM BACK EVEN GREATER THEN BEFORE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

So let me get this straight - Trump will decide if things are so urgent and dangerous to our national interests so as to compel us to bomb another country…in two weeks?

So after a positive jobs report, this is now the Trump economy and not Biden’s? But, just this week on Wednesday it was Biden’s economy? Did I get that right?

Don’t like the news? It’s fake. Don’t like the polls? Rigged. Don’t like the election outcome? Also rigged. Don’t like the market reaction to your policies? Fed’s fault. Can’t end the war in Ukraine like you promised? Biden’s fault. When does Donald Trump take responsibility for anything?

Trump is having just as many phone calls with Xi as a nerdy 13 year-old boy has with his “girlfriend from Canada”

I have a 100% trade deficit with my dentist. I buy services from her but she buys nothing from me. Therefore, effective immediately, I will be tariffing my dentist at 50% of the value of her services. I will go ahead and charge myself an extra 50% at my next cleaning. Did I get it right?

I keep hearing from Trump supporters that he plays “3D Chess”. I am fairly sure he would lose at tic tac toe
