Shameless lying is a GOP membership requirement these days. And nowadays, the lies don't even have to make sense to be believed by the MAGA base: www.rawstory.com/tim-scott-26...

Today's helpful hint: Stay away from right-wing 'news' sources if you're looking for truth and facts because they're simply incapable of, and unwilling to, separate truth from outright lies: www.startribune.com/fact-check-d...

Donald Trump and those who support him are dangerously delusional, filled with unreasoning, cowardly rage and fear that's destroying the nation. There's nothing more dangerous than a gang of cowards wielding great power: balloon-juice.com/2025/06/16/t...

Just to help keep everyone's eyes on the actual ball and not the one the MAGA GOP keeps lying about, please note that migrants are far less likely to break the law than U.S. citizens--which is why MAGA thugs find it so hard to find criminal immigrants to deport: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

You'd think this just might be unconstitutional or something, wouldn't you? Cruelty really is the point of Trumpism: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Here's the No Kings demonstration in Park Falls up in Wisconsin's Northwoods. It eventually about doubled in size, too.

Sen. Padilla owes it to the nation & Constitution to file charges against the goons that assaulted and attempted to kidnap him and to sue all of them, including Noem, in civil court, too. Giving any of them the benefit of the doubt is a disservice to the nation. www.rawstory.com/noem-evidenc...

The kinds and amounts of corruption in the Trump regime are almost unbelievable. Except with a delusional convicted felon supposedly running the government, virtually nothing is unbelievable these days. balloon-juice.com/2025/06/12/w...

"This is not what we voted for." They keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what they think it means: www.huffpost.com/entry/ileana...

Since when are 'qualified candidates' even a thing with the TACO Don clownshow? Can't they just go down to a local bar and pick up a few more drunks like the Defense Secretary himself? I mean, what's the big deal? www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

It's almost like someone read Thomas Jefferson's indictment of King George III in the Declaration of Independence to TACO Don (he's incapable of reading it himself) and he figured it was the perfect road map for what he wanted to do to the USA. Don't know if we'll survive this delusional clown.

The nation's President is a clownish thug with the mentality of a mean-spirited sixth grader: english.elpais.com/usa/2025-06-...

Trump, a hilariously ignorant man who's convinced he isn't, is in a position to seriously damage the nation by choosing similarly ignorant fools to run the U.S. Government. This collection of morons is busily destroying the nation & its heritage. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-7-2025

The refusal of the political right--and not just the far right--to believe empirical evidence of the benefits of social spending not just to the nation but to civilization itself and instead cling to their many prejudices is a serious, dangerous problem: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

It's questionable whether the USA's reputation as a trustworthy business partner will ever recover since the world now knows we're likely to elect deranged convicted criminals to the Presidency. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

We all know Trump can be bought, but what some are apparently just finding out is that he won't STAY bought. Fortunately, almost all of those are truly terrible people who will deserve everything they get--or don't get as the case may be: www.rawstory.com/trump-musk-2...

I think we can all agree this is EXACTLY the kind of person we want to see as President of the U.S. and a role model for the rest of the world, right? Leaving his conviction on 34 felony charges aside, of course. www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

People who insist they had no idea TACO Don's plan was to destroy the U.S. government and economy simply weren't paying attention--he made no secret of it: digbysblog.net/2025/06/05/i...

Sort of have to wonder how many of the collection of corrupt morons Trump as assembled will eventually pay serious prices for their attempts to destroy the law, government, and the Constitution. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

In case you've somehow gotten the idea that just because some person is rich, that also means they're smart, it appears Trump has assembled a gang of the dumbest rich people in the nation to be his cabinet members: www.rawstory.com/howard-lutni...
