I love the bit at the end where she says that is being done in the interests of kids learning "what it means to promote freedom and liberty" it's directly ripped from Orwell, censorship for freedom

An underrated horseshoe dynamic that shapes a lot of US political.cultural discourse is that seething, inchoate resentment aimed at this mental image unifies both the entire right-wing political-media infrastructure AND the heights of prestige left/liberal media and intelligentsia.

If Harvard wants Trump to stop attacking them, they should give him a plane.

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students

POTUS: On the one hand, I'm going make unfounded accusations of genocide against your country. On the other hand, if you offered me an airplane, I would take it.

How long as Fox News been around?

POTUS doctors also misdiagnosed Trump as 6’2 and 224 lbs, so…

Andor is over and it stands as not just Star Wars greatest story but one of the best TV shows ever. And we still can't believe it actually happened.

its genuinely insane to see the press on a "democrats must self flagellate over biden being old" when this shit is happening

Drop the “Max.” Just “HBO.” It’s cleaner.

What twists and turns? It’s not complicated or confusing. Trump is accepting the gift of a $400M jet from a foreign country to use as AF1. He then gets to keep the jet for personal use after he leaves office. It’s simple! And clearly corrupt!

Luthen, Kleya, and Cassian are now top-tier in the Star Wars pantheon.

If Democrats gave Trump a large enough super yacht, they could get him to switch parties.

Ahh, yes, the man who brought us “Trump Steaks,” “Trump Vodka,” “Trump University,” and whatever the fuck *these* are can’t be bought, 10/10 no notes

Trump definitely learned the lesson that if you’re going to commit crimes it’s best to do them in the open so you can say shit like, “Of course I did this. I’d be a fool not to. Would I do it so openly if it was wrong?” He’s used this strategy time and time again.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

this is incredibly embarrassing

He’s very old!

just a whole truck following you around announcing what a slop hog you are

What kind of plane did they give him?

Never forget, the amount of crime detected and the prosecution of it is not a natural substrate of how much crime is committed. It is fundamentally a political decision.

The Ultimate Bait and Switch of Trump’s Tariffs How to understand the phony trade deals with Britain and China www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“Standing up to Trump does not mean that you win. But giving in guarantees that you lose.”

So, as expected, all this nonsense was for nothing.

"it is okay for Trump to accept half a billion dollar gifts because he is not corruptible" well okay then, case closed

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

We know, dude. Everyone knows.

30% is an enormously high tariff!

I had literally just signed the paperwork on my dolls/tiny screws factory in the US. 😩

Entirely plausible

Seriously, wtf is wrong with this guy?

Whether it’s Bill Clinton, using taxpayer money to pay for letters back to children who wrote to him about his cat Socks or Donald Trump accepting a $400 million bribe from Qatar in the form of a fancy airplane, both presidents were involved in some questionable expenditures.

If members of the WH Press Corp don’t ask this question RELENTLESSLY they should turn in their badges.

Qatar gifts Trump a $400m plane. What about the Constitution? "No Person holding any Office...shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State." youtu.be/jiGDkkdCiDw?...

Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

Prediction Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn't like capitalism, and tariffs hurt the poor Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake Pope, etc Just watch.

I bet this kid is spoiled rotten!!

“You always need pilots…you wouldn’t even have to have pilots.”

They’ve truly lost their minds

a nation on edge looks to the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend to help guide us through these tumultuous times

China hasn’t moved one muscle towards making a deal. Not even a phone call. They’re callingTrump’s bluff and they know they have him by the balls. Maybe the biggest own goal in U.S. economic history?

House Republicans are just trifling children so caught up in silly trolling that they have no time to help US citizens. And they are ignorant. "Gulf of America" signifies a gulf of both North and South America, not the United States.

This woman is the coolest 😎
