More and more institutions apparently seem to cave to a mental health patient allowed to roam free and terrorize the globe. The Smithsonian has removed tRump from its impeachment exhibit. And so the jolly dismantling of a once great nation continues ... what's next? www.youtube.com/watch?v=toRg...

Oh nooo, shocker, Mr. Art of the Steal has generously extended the tariff deadline for a week?? We call it what it is: TACO. Also: We love you, Canada, elbows up! You must be doing something right, or you wouldn't incur his wrath 💪🇨🇦💙 www.thedailybeast.com/trump-tacos-...

Looks like tRump now has his very own Roland Freisler (head of Hitler's 'supreme court', known for political show trials & responsible for many death sentences of critics & opponents). Well done, you stupid RepubliKKKans, you must be really proud of yourselves! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkNe...

Oh look, there still are people left who are 'shocked' by tRump's behavior! Kidding aside, it's understandable that Virginia Giuffre's siblings are shocked to hear their sister being described as an 'object' that one can steal. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Somebody with creative and musical talent wasted no time, edited footage from the Scotland protests, and put together a powerful anti-tRump song, to let the orange buffoon know how the Scots feel about him. 🤘

This just in on my German news app: Part of the US-EU "deal" is that US cars will incur no tariffs to Europe. Hurray! No offense, but who would want to buy such a gas guzzler, have you seen the price for gas over here? Perhaps nostalgic US-expats? I'm in Berlin, I take public transport, so, whatev.

I haven't finished reading, but just a few paragraphs in & I'm thinking, "OMG, is MAGA so unimaginative they need to follow Hitler's path to authoritarianism step-by-step?!" But first & foremost, it juxtaposes tRump/Powell vs. Hitler/Luther. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Had to put this up here: John Fugelsang's facial expression is representative for all of us when we hear a tRump fan gush over Dear Leader (here Scott Jenning who's gone full MAGA and can't remember that he used to be more aligned with the former conservative Republican view) 😂

Screen grab with split screen from a CNN talk show with Abby Phillips. On the left, commentator Scott Jenning talking, on the right, John Fugelsang reacting with a funny facial expression while listening.
