Speaking of which, what’s the Kalshi line on whether Holy Roller Mike has heard about Orange Turd inviting Iran to nuke LA and San Diego.

“… while making inappropriate sounds …” If she was rubbing one out, “inappropriate” would be, what, reciting Bible verses?

So he could charge presidents exorbitant rates. Yeah, none of his successors will go there.

Or ignorant of anything. I used to think, how can people believe the shit that comes out of his mouth — no longer. I just saw a video today of this older couple coming in to one of his rallies and the guy says California passed a law allowing babies to be aborted up to 4 weeks after they’re born.

WTAF?

Exactly right. And believe me, there were plenty of men who felt that way in 2015, also.

NY Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch, is not a legit source.

Atheism teaches nothing at all, because it is not a religion. It just means a belief there is no god.

“… turn your clocks back twice a year …” A: You turn it back once and forward once, which goes to my second point… B: Orange Shitstain has never in his life turned a clock or watch back or forward himself.

I doubt Trump posted that. Whoever did that screen grab, cut off the top (idiot) so we don’t know who posted that. Just some MAGAt with Trump’s face as his profile picture.

Tom Burnett @speaker2animals.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Why slice off the top of that screen grab? Someone shared it and said it was posted originally by Trump, apparently because of the profile picture.

In Ohio (and I’ll assume NY is the same) city prosecutors typically handle only minor crimes — no felonies. Rape, murder, etc., are prosecuted by the county’s legal infrastructure.

WTF is with the “Dems say?” Pretty sure Susan Collins is a Republican. Two questions: Did you just start your job in journalism today, poster? When did you start hiring from middle schools, Politico?

Based on what I see and hear, this would affect MAGAts more than anybody.

My dad’s dad was lucky. He worked for Bell, and a phone company job was as close as you could get to Depression proof. He died when my dad was 23, and it made me sad when I thought about how much closer he and I became between 23 and 43, my age when he died.

Same with Ryan. Director first day assigned a senior or junior as mentor to every single freshman, a nice way to ease in to a large high school. And his mentor, the snare line chief, even let him join his friends at restaurants after the FB games. For which they were rewarded by us with much food!

One of the most moving and revealing pictures of him, from the 1952 campaign for the presidency.

To be fair, 2008 was a LONG time ago. Is anyone still alive from when the Great Recession happened?

Excellent piece. I was born and raised in Cleveland, and I’ve visited Lakeview Cemetery many times — with the Garfield Monument a required stop.

We’ll never know, obviously, but we do know he was strongly anti-slavery.

You (or someone) cropped the top to erase some words and cropped the bottom to ERASE THE CARTOONIST’S NAME! Not good.

All of this was reported before he was elected, and the fact he DID get elected is proof voters are irredeemably stupid or they’re brainwashed by RWNJ media. Or both.

Tom Burnett @speaker2animals.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Yes. When I heard him say a few years ago during a World War II observance something about ”Americans liberating Paris from the socialists,” I thought — this is either a deeply stupid person or someone who depends on deeply stupid people for his career.
