Just face it; Barack Hussain Obama II is cool, and Trump isn't.

Stop the Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires #B4

Update: Putin and Trump had a phone call that produced nothing

The pope picks Zelenskyy as the first head of state to receive a private audience.

Trump corruption, again: Make no mistake. Even if you are MAGA to the core, Trump is propagating an ethos that will hit you, your kids, and grandchildren. You'll all be paying people off to get what you need in the future if we don't stop this now. youtu.be/G-fHAsWRQcY?...

What could go wrong? Oh, I know! A bunch of MAGAzies will lose money in this unregulated wild west. www.npr.org/2025/05/19/n...

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

If Trump just followed the simple rules, he could deport hundreds of thousands. Instead, Trump's intentionally breaking the rules, setting up a constitutional crisis, because MAGAzies aim to impose a right-wing dictatorship.

Let's be clear. We are witnessing ethnic cleansing. Full Stop. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

I also like to know what's trending.

but seashells!

On the other hand..... I mean 'paw'

Tariff war, Chip war... a sign of US insecurity? Yea, THAT kind of security. youtu.be/TnguCjWltaU?...

America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people. 2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death. And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

FINALLY! Congress is stepping up to its constitutional responsibility to approve emoluments (gifts to the President) www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

It's not a "deal" with China. It's a Trump walk-back from embargo-level tariffs to 30% tariffs while an agreement is worked on. Still a 30% import sales tax. www.ft.com/content/330c...

Evil

What resonates as the most ridiculous thing Trump is doing? It's a close call between accepting a $400,000,000 Qatar listening device, giving "refuge" to whites from South Africa, and taking Medicaid away from his political base.

Speaking of South Africa.. Everyone should know about Elon Musk's family background. Democracy Now youtu.be/Ahv3IKzMdHA?...

Surprise, Surprise, NOT www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/u...

When America was great, we had just three major news outlets @ABCnews @NBCNews @CBSNews All Americans shared roughly the same information. Today, MAGA people won't hear this information: youtu.be/fnZAcDIx1vk?...

Ouch! China import taxes (tariffs). Trump just pulled a used car salesman trick on Americans: Jack the price to ridiculous levels, then drop it to a very high level. Don't be fooled by news of a "big drop" in China tariffs. www.cnn.com/2025/05/14/b...

Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in Gaza. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/w...

70% of the US Economy is Consumer Spending. And credit card delinquency has been rising.

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

If Bernie Sanders attempted this approach to reducing pharmaceutical prices, the MAGAsphere would scream, "Communism!"

Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC). $Billions in FEMA BRIC grants cut by Trump. The word "Communities" is apparently woke. So now, billions in funding to maintain dams will be used to fund tax cuts for the rich. Dams in the USA are aging.

Trump will fail because 1) He is blowing it on the economy. 2) He is corrupt Here's a corruption example. youtu.be/UFCbO5o7PNw?...

Creepy

People are asking, where are the dollars going? Here's what China seems to be doing with many of their dollars. youtu.be/DnzuR-kog-w?...

MAGAizm has some problems The Bannon wing are mostly the little guys who vote against their own interests. The Techbro wing pay a lot of money for votes against the Bannon wing's interests.

Trump Waffling on China? "Hmmm.. maybe 80% tariff, but not my decision." -- Trump $100 headphones are $180 $600 guitar is $1,080 $3,000 electric wheelchair is $5,400 youtu.be/H5_S_4D73K4?...

About 8-months ago my Mother bought a light weight electric wheelchair for $3,000 More recently, a woman ordered one, and Trump's tariffs made it cost her $6,000. youtu.be/fn-uZaKubCg?...
