The Trump regime's new AI assistant confirmed Donald is a convicted felon, Biden won the 2020 election, and Trump is in the Epstein files before it stopped answering political questions.

4 years, 216 days ago Russia attacked Ukraine. Yes, it’s been that long. Thousands of innocent Ukrainians slaughtered. Long live Ukraine and may Putin and his minions rot in hell.

I had a coffee-out-my-nose moment right at the end of that video. What a classic line. “Vote for James Talarico, he won’t steal your pen”.. It would also look good on a bumper sticker!

One of the player’s WNBA rivals said the Fever guard is treated differently from her Black peers. There’s plenty of evidence to back that statement up

For those in a hurry and can’t read the whole thing but love to see the Robert’s court getting schooled, the best bits start from page 73. Goes well with a nice pinot noir and some aged Gouda. You could read the whole thing but you may have finished the bottle by page 50…

Holy cow. The Supreme Court of Hawai'i, in a *majority opinion*, absolutely excoriates SCOTUS. To paraphrase a bit, they say the "hubristic originalists" "see only white." This, from a state supreme court, is nothing less than an "f you" to Roberts et al. law.justia.com/cases/hawaii...

I’m old enough to remember the Live Aid concerts in 1985. Wouldn’t simultaneous concerts in NY and LA organised by Trumps favourite folks - Mamdani and Newsom be fun? I can imagine how many performers would be keen to join in and embarrass Trump.

This is crazy. Not respecting citizens 1st amendment rights is just not the American way. Once Trump is gone there should be accountability. Like a congressional investigation. Like a committee. Oh, I know! How about a un-American activities committee? Can’t think of a decent name though…

The word “Ceasefire” in Trumpland is actually composed of two military commands. When you want oil prices to drop, the command is “Cease”. You want oil up? “Fire”. Obvious.

The administration’s OPSEC is currently very effective as no one knows whether this means an attack on Cuba, Iran, Greenland, Canada or some other country. It could also mean the Epstein files have leaked but I’m not holding my breath.
