Agree. Lately everything Trump does is described as a "distraction." Sending troops to LA is a distraction from the Musk/Trump feud, Musk/Trump feud is a distraction from budget bill, etc. I don't think he puts that much thought into it, he's just a stupid fascist motherfucker who does crazy shit.

I'll never forget that Linda Tirado lost an eye and is dying from TBI-induced dementia caused by a cop shooting her in the face by a rubber bullet at the George Floyd protests.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

So are we getting another mystery with Cordelia Cupp or what? Does she ever see the Giant Antpitta? How about the calligrapher, is he okay? And how is the carpenter doing with his box breathing and animosity for Tripp Morgan? I love The Residence so much. Have you watched it yet?

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

We seem to have fallen into a government situation where the dominant political forces in America are Trump and his majority on the Supreme Court. Together, as a political alliance, they are currently and seemingly impregnable. I think they will both act to keep it that way.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Its just fascinating to me that Medicaid fraud is treated like its SNAP fraud or benefits fraud when its one of the few welfare cases in which the person doesn't receive the cash from the government, the -provider- does, but all of the cuts are -patient- centric

Trump fired over 1,000 National Park staff in February, and most still haven’t been reinstated. The $45 million he’s wasting on a military parade for his birthday could have paid their salaries for over a year.

This is Clarence Thomas's fault for normalizing bribery via vehicles. The RV to AF1 slippery slope.

If Congress valued the Constitution, it would impeach Trump for bribery. The Constitution bans US officials—explicitly including POTUS—from accepting things of value from foreign govts. Ben Franklin famously gave up a gift from France as ambassador. US institutions now see blatant bribery as ok.

When my parents got married, their marriage was illegal in seven states. That’s how recent this shift is: my (still living) parents could not visit some states for the first four years of their marriage.
