Millions more will die because the medical research that could have saved them was abruptly ended. All that needless death created so that couple of billionaires can try to become trillionaires by stealing from the rest of us.

It sure took a long time for Trump’s people to drum up some bogus charges against that poor guy.

His one raised eyebrow takes his “I’m a no-name minion working for a B-list James Bond villain” look to a cutting room floor-level of quality.

Makes me wonder what her BF does with other women since he’s cool with men sending d-pics and harassing women who are clearly not interested. Like maybe the two a-holes do this all the time for fun & then swap stories?

Musk isn’t motivated by what the people deserve or want. The request should be phrased as: “Hey, Elon! Trump is talking smack and claiming he won the election on his own, without your help. “Here’s your chance to prove him wrong and finally get credit for what you accomplished.”

Right, that’s so gross. It’s the “smile more” plus setting the stage for him having veto power over what she wears and does forever. “You don’t need to be able to see. You just need to look like a Barbie doll for me!”

Gorgeous woman who wears glasses will magically not need glasses after the lead actor becomes interested in her. But lead actors can wear glasses forever.

“SIri, I want this document to look professional and convincing so please delete the name Trump and change the font to Comic Sans.”

We never should have allowed our space program to be privatized in the first place. Or our communications.

At least Ronald Reagan had enough sense left to wave and pretend he was too far away to hear the questions. These concrete examples of a mentally incompetent president are disturbing.

Trump and Miller don’t think undocumented immigrants are a security problem. They think that POC are a problem. Non-white immigrants are just the first & easiest targets for these white suprematists. They’ve already rounded up legal residents, too, and they don’t plan to stop there.
comment in response to post
Republicans have repeatedly blocked every effort to improve immigration and border security. Plus, many of their rich donors rely on cheap and vulnerable undocumented laborers. Notice now the people hiring undocumented workers are never prosecuted?
comment in response to post
Honest question: Are we sure her BF didn’t cause her twin’s death? Because if this is an unsolved mystery, I know who’s the likely suspect. Dude seems way to gleeful about the death of the person who was probably closest to her.

Or he’s just tired of being a husband and parent so he’s found an excuse to avoid doing anything he doesn’t enjoy. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if much of his “training” time away from home had been spent banging someone else.

The slug choose badly, like everyone who eats there. The difference is I’d feel sorry for the slug.
comment in response to post
You mean her husband isn’t living in a full service hotel with a staff of one adult woman and three tiny employees?
comment in response to post
Looks like a slug tried to eat Mar-a-Lago’s food and died.

That’s guy is the worst possible reboot of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

As usual, Republicans are helping their big donors get away with screwing over the rest of us. We need to start putting white collar criminals in PRISON. That’s the only way to make corporations think twice before committing felonies.

Safer not having the US involved or informed about anything important.

He’s so hot he’s going to melt all that ice.

His parents won’t come to the wedding but they’ll show up for the free food and drinks after?!? Parasitic bigots. I hope his new husband has great parents who’ll share the happy couple’s wedding joy - and their future holiday celebrations.

Decent people know you’re doing your best to help people & we sympathize. Please know that you & the other fed workers are appreciated. Whatever you each decide is right for you, we support your decisions.
comment in response to post
Yep! Democrats have better policies for red state voters but make no effort to reach out to them. Dems have known for decades the GOP planned to move SCOTUS far right, yet kept trying to meet in the middle. The DNC didn’t call for a investigation into the sketchy swing state results.
comment in response to post
Plus, how many more Americans will die after the Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid/Medicare force the closure of hospitals and nursing homes? How many will die after doctors leave rural communities because too few people have healthcare coverage? All to give more $$ to the 🤬ing rich! #BigDeadlyBill
comment in response to post
Impressive that even in a WH portrait Trump’s hair still looks fake and awful.
comment in response to post
Maybe this isn’t cheery enough for #TACOTuesday but…here’s one in sympathy for those of us still sane: youtu.be/B9jGf9g7moY?...
comment in response to post
When has mocking Trump EVER hurt him politically?! Democrats should be talking about how gutting Medicare will kill Americans & cause hospitals to close. The GOP tax cuts for billionaires will increase the deficit & hurt working people. Ending judicial power makes Presidents into kings. #TACO

Nixon didn’t WANT to pick Ford. He had to pick someone who could get confirmed. Maybe also someone willing to pardon him? Who knows.

Lovely. Thank you!

Did “the trans” also make her get that ugly tattoo?

Proper response would have been, “Does that mean you’re volunteering to die first?”

Elon is that annoying guy at a bad party who keeps tossing out stupid interruptions whenever anyone/anything else has the room’s attention.

Sounds more like Goldman is trying to fluff up some stocks.
comment in response to post
You don’t remember Democrats backing the bipartisan border security bill under Biden that Republicans blocked? Or the Obama-backed border bill - blocked by the GOP? Democrats WANT secure borders (but many Dems do object to “illegals” as a dehumanizing term). The GOP does NOT want to fix borders.
comment in response to post
I was with you until you blamed Democrats for not passing voting rights when Democrats did try and didn’t have the Senate votes because they didn’t have 60 Senators. 🤷‍♀️ Remember it’s easier for Repubs to illegally break things than it is for Dems to legally fix things.
comment in response to post
Sad that you’re repeating GOP disinfo about Democrats. There are some absolutists but NO ONE has 50 pronouns. Dems love unions/trade schools & candidates w/blue collar roots. Walz & other Dems own guns & hunt. Dems WANT border security. The GOP always blocks it so they can scream about “illegals”
comment in response to post
How about how he killed the investigations into himself & his companies? How about how he keeps breaking things so that he can give himself government contracts to “fix” things? How about the theft of Americans’ personal info? How about making air travel unsafe?
comment in response to post
Most red state voters make bad decisions even when there are good Democratic options. However, many of them are in information deserts where the only radio, newspapers, & local stations are right wing propaganda. They live in alternative reality with little understanding of what’s really going on.
comment in response to post
I hear you. It’s such a shame that the DNC gave up on whole sections of the country years ago - and rarely backs local Democrats running in Republican strongholds. My Mom still votes in Florida where most voting options in her area come down to “which of these Republicans seems less insane/toxic?”
comment in response to post
If she explained to her “friends” that her husband constantly made abusive comments & refused to apologize and they still blamed her then they aren’t her friends. Dump all him AND his toxic friends. BYE!
