If the Republicans are doing such a good job (they are in control of all three branches) why do they need to gerrymander, pump almost a billion into the elections for red states and blame everything on Democrats?

Trump stole millions of dollars from us to buy those campaign ads. Of course he won't pay us back. He's a criminal who should be in prison right now.

Trump Does Not Plan to Reimburse Taxpayers for Promotional Ads
A day after the president said his super PAC would pay for the ads, which had drawn bipartisan backlash, officials said that he meant moving forward. A new taxpayer-funded ad aired Tuesday.

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

President Donald Trump has a history of denigrating U.S. cities, especially the largest ones that lean heavily Democratic. to.pbs.org/3W9N6VM

Trump draws cheers, then criticism for musing about Iran taking out U.S. cities
“They could take out a city,” he said. "Let ‘em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego.”

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

I do not mean to single out LeBron James, but it feels completely bizarre to me that an active player is allowed to promote "prediction markets" but would get banned for life for using that service to bet ten dollars on their own team to win a game.

LSU found a man responsible for r*ping a woman and decided suspension was too harsh. Kendall was a freshman when a football player assaulted her in his on-campus dorm in October 2025. She went to the hospital for a r*pe kit. She filed a Title IX complaint in January.

When he offers/bribes something of value (no matter how modest) weeks before an election—that he didn’t care or dare to provide during the two years since the last election—he’s telling his followers right to their face that he thinks they’re dumb af. That’s all.

Fuckface says his convention speech got 107 million views, but Nielsen has it at 3.3 million across Fox News, Newsmax and NewsNation, while the NFL game that night drew 25.1 million. Even his own ratings fantasy got beaten by a football game.

If a person votes Republican, it doesn't simply mean they disagree with me on the issues. It means they want to murder Iranian schoolgirls, Caribbean boat passengers and American protesters. It means they want my grandkids to grow up in a dictatorship. This isn't politics. It's basic human decency.

this is completely unhinged, even by Trump's standards.
Have you seen the videos of Mitch McConnell back in the Senate? Do you think he should resign because of his health condition?

It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans. So that's just—well, Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I'm not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe's allowed to give them? This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?

We did earlier.
