I find it funny that when I google the "Big beautiful bill", I find a web page from the house Ways and Means committee that does not have any links to the actual text of the bill. You would think the "facts sheet" would make it easier to see if they are lying. But no, that is too much to ask for.

Trump's imaginary trade deals are the new version of infrastructure week.

Three ways Donald Trump can help the stock market. 1.) Stop talking. On any and all subjects. 2.) Stop all work on all parts of Project 2025. 3.) leave office by any means.

maritime-executive.com/article/u-s-... My only question is how can they get the air force involved?

www.usatoday.com/story/news/p... Great nations confront their problems to fix them. Weak nations hide their problems and end up repeating them. Donald Trump is trying to weaken the US.

The non-existence of Ron Vara and John Barron is enough to tell you that adult men with imaginary friends should not be in charge of anything.

My name is Orange Madness, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Trump isn't announcing the tariffs until 4 pm. That's when the stock markets close. They know they are doing the wrong thing.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCjQ... To be clear, this was a stunt. It cannot change anything. It could be a start of something better. We are not in a position where one person can change anything. This only matters if it is the start of something.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sends a text that remind him of the war plans He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes #Hegseth

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

I am starting to think the people like Trump and Hegseth don't believe they are actually the ones in charge of anything.

A country that cannot address its faults and failures can't fix its errors. A country that can't fix its errors cannot be great.

www.cracked.com/article_4244... Wisdom does not come with age if you are an idiot.

This just in.... Tesla shareholders announce a rescue mission to Washington DC to bring Musk home. They claim president Trump has abandoned him at DOGE for political reasons.

You can be part of the problem or part of the solution. Chuck Schumer is now part of the problem. Don't trust anybody over 70.

The US sometimes finds itself in a situation where doing the right thing becomes difficult. The solution is often to be to let the Canadians fix it. I recommend looking up the peace keeping missions the Canadian has taken on. This is enough reason to keep Canada as Canadian as possible.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two... Our past cultural divisions have now led us past what Snow wrote about and into a period where poorly educated tech bros are vandalizing the US government.

The Iron pyrite age of America has just begun.

Trump is COBALing us about social security.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump's speech is kind of like festivus day but it's just that airing of grievances and nothing more. And every number is a lie.

To: VP Vance From: A concerned American Subject: Your limited future prospects Just in case you are not aware of this, the man you serve has no loyalty to you even though he demands it from you. By serving as his tool for the ambush against Ukraine today, you just set yourself up. 1/

www.the-independent.com/news/world/a... This is from 2017. Both Trump administrations failed to understand what the DoE does with nukes. They don't learn from their mistakes.

This translation was made in honor of the US Senate and their approval of RFK Jr.

The young fools working for Musk should be called the Red Turds. And their effort is the anti-cultural revolution.

Reality needs a fast forward button where we can skip ahead to Trump being gone, the recovery has started, and the Republicans try to pretend they were not involved.
