They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

It seems to me that this administration will keep firing intelligence analysts until they can find one who will lie to justify the regime disappearing perceived enemies to foreign torture dungeons.

TV show where illegal immigrants hunt down Republican sex offenders for a chance at citizenship - call it “Alien vs. Predator.”

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

We have been propagandized to believe that it's perfectly normal to have 4% of the world's population and 22% of the world's prisoners. We're told the US has more crime, or more bad people than other societies. The idea that criminality is innate, that "they're not like us,"

I no longer fantasize about the violent demise of Trump, but only because I suspect the martyrdom of St. Donald (& Elon's electronic tentacles throughout election infrastructure) would lead inevitably to the reign of Immaculate Potentate Stephen Miller

Their America is vanishing because they voted against their economic interests for decades in order to pursue a backward social agenda. They voted themselves out of the middle class, and now they want to blame others.

Things on Earth have gotten so stupid I've come to expect the Second Coming will essentially be Allen Funt showing up to say "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!"

He’s less a president and more a broadcast signal from a dying democracy - static, chaos, and the faint sound of sirens in the distance.

Canada, FTW!.. again!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️. Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

When evil taunts the World for being too lazy to stop it.

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

The least surprising news of the day.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

This. Also under what authority are they being held. They are not serving criminal sentences. They are not in pre-trial detention for pending immigration charges. And they are not being held in order to facilitate deportation as they have already been removed.

I mean, if powerful law firms are legit afraid to take a powerful person to court, I mean, come on. Pathetic. They’re all smoke and mirrors, fraudulent knights of the justice system. Courage. Use it.

Trump's syphilitic emperor trade policy is throwing the status of the dollar as world reserve currency into question. from me: prospect.org/economy/2025...

You know, I've interviewed a lot of lawyers who didn't want to go on-record because it was in their and their clients' interests to maintain a working relationship with prosecutors. But until now, I'd never talked to one who was afraid they'd be targeted by the government if they spoke up.

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Years of commonsense efforts to encourage tax compliance flushed down the toilet to feed the god of hate.

The United States is a dysfunctional country. Canadians have to look after themselves and reinforce alliances with other countries.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

This headline from the Toronto Sun belongs in the Louvre

If you're trying to forecast anything about this administration there has been only one reliable principle since the beginning and that's "It will be worse than you think"

The ruling class benefits greatly from the popular misconception that government mismanagement is the result of stupidity and incompetence rather than actual malice. People would be a lot angrier if they knew that all of this was being done to them on purpose.

This man is distinguishing himself as one of the truly great idiots in American history. And I say that knowing full well that we have a great tradition of idiots in America, big ones.

We have a winner…🏆

In books the cops always stake out the funeral in case the serial killer shows up

3.5 million people turned out yesterday. Not one Capitol building stormed, not one police officer attacked. #handsoff
