Trump spent all of Memorial Day bragging about his own accomplishments without mentioning fallen soldiers even once. Here’s why 2/3 of veterans will continue to vote for him no matter what he says or does.

Me, logging on to work after the long weekend

Flagrant disrespect to our country and the military but the media ignores it because they like him and want to help him. Obama "saluting with the coffee cup" was replayed multiple times a day for years on Fox News as if it was a huge scandal. This will be treated by the press like it's normal

Enormous Abe Simpson energy here.

Democratic voters issued a massive rebuke of their own party last year by just refusing to show up on election day & instead of a major shakeup its leaders are spending big on consultants to find a Youtube salesman that can help a small group of septuagenarians no one likes cling to power.

Mad king shit. Just making up new tariffs to replace the tariffs his advisors already had to dupe him into cancelling. Hilarious that the media that is pushing "why did we ignore Biden's cognitive decline" insists on sanewashing and covering this up.

If you want to understand the asymettry in our politics & media, if this was a Biden donor turning up to a Biden event, this ridiculously, it would be on a loop on Fox for days, with endless outrage from the GOP. But it won't be on CNN or MSNBC on a loop for days, & top Democrats won't say anything.

The ultimate backstops to Trump's power are not Trump himself - he's far too incompetent and blundering to consolidate power, but the Gang of Six on the Supreme Court and the Media, who helpfully clean up all his fuckups no matter how bad they are.

A Friendly Reminder.

i feel like you could put a percent ticker labeled “wokeness in government” and have it going down to zero and trick these people into think that’s a real measured metric

Selling off government assets at artificially low prices helped create a permanent oligarchy in Russia. Could the same thing work here?

Apologies for yelling, but— SCOTUS COULDN’T DO ITS JOB BECAUSE TOO MANY JUSTICES HAVE BOOK DEALS WITH A PARTY IN A CASE

this is what the right wants here in the United States too, and one of the reasons they love Bukele. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are the most powerful enemies of Americans' free speech rights in our country's history.

If you’re spending one fucking second wringing your hands about Joe Biden’s age while a new set of arsonists are burning the entire nation down, please go touch all the grass
