"Art of the Deal" guy can't negotiate a good deal, and apparently can't even negotiate a bad one. Iran has made him look like the moron he is throughout this entire ordeal. This is Trump's version of the Iranian hostage situation that should cost Republicans control of everything.

I can't imagine being so Alpha that I'm scared of a rainbow. We are truly in the dumbest timeline where saying "I think people who believe things that I don't shouldn't really exist" is somehow protected by "my personal beliefs".

There's some similarities between the Rangers and Knicks championships. Rangers were 54 years between and Knicks were 53. Both were led by a star wearing 11. The Rangers came from behind in two of those games with a flurry of unanswered goals, whereas the Knicks trailed early in all of their wins.

Phenomenal take. I've been saying this about store boycotts - you can't tell everyone to boycott everything all at once. You need to be smart, intentional, and get buy in from key figures. Start with top athletes and go from there. Include women and others targeted by their state government.

I was wrong. So very wrong. It would seem like 60% of Republicans are part of a cult and have no ability to think on their own. Massie was at times a jerk, but at least he didn't like pedophiles. So there's that. May he disrupt as much as possible on the way out.

Two things: First, good. I will never forgive this man for confirming RFK. Second, I'm going to be optimistic here and say it's less about Trump and more about people being really pissed about where we are today and just removing incumbents. Guess we'll see in November.

If the dumbest person in the world could stop referring to people as "low IQ" because he doesn't like them, it would be lovely. We could fix the deficit immediately if we did pay per view of him taking an actual IQ test. I don't even believe he'd hit his age.

So he promised to commit war crimes if Iran doesn't "surrender" by 8p.m. tomorrow. If no one in his cabinet tries to invoke the 25th Amendment, does that make them all accessories? Asking for The Hague.

I'm gonna say something very unpopular - I don't blame Trump supporters. Republicans spent decades gutting education, campaigning on hatred, and installing news propaganda to keep them afraid. We don't get angry at cult victims. I blame the system, and this won't stop until it's broken.

Best plan ever from Donald Trump. Take a group of already pissed people, and then add the fan favorite ICE team to help really drive home the frustration. Can't wait for stories about ICE altercations with travelers to really bump up Trump's approval numbers.

Vance is gonna have Trump assassinated before the midterms and blame it on the Democrats. It's the only way Republicans can cling to power, and Trump continues to become more of a liability and detriment to the elite with each passing the day. He'll be more helpful to them in death than in life.

One would argue that we could do exactly that. If the argument is that these people are the "worst of the worst" and pose a risk to everyone, doesn't that conflict with the idea that they could just apparently opt to not commit any additional crimes?

Trump's new "Healthcare Plan" is not a plan. It's a moron's world salad that is completely detached from real life. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't help anything, but it is going to hurt a lot of people if they try to use that bullshit to get rid of Medicaid or ACA plans.
