In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Today I found out I could understand the German language

Another deal! A "very positive conclusion." You can say that again! www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/t...

A technique with a storied history. During Mao's Great Leap forward, his propagandists hailed one fantastical harvest after another, calling them “Sputnik harvests,” on par with the success of the Soviet satellite.

He said "We'd consider it" of a hypothetical trade deal w/ Viet Nam. His "we don't want other people making them" described "certain products," not all imports. To characterize his comments as "They just don't like international trade. Period." is gaslighting. What is this person selling?

Someone tell me this is fake.

McGovern: "You are literally taking food off kids' plates to buy Elon Musk another yacht. I guess he's getting a good return on his campaign donations ... this is not policy. This is theft."

Unprecedented corruption & constitutional crimes, happening right in front of us, while our entire National Conversation™️, led by this journalist to sell his book, is about Joe Biden.

NEW from me: Trump's 90-day pause on the China trade war still leaves tariffs at the highest level since the Great Depression—and that's before upcoming sector-specific tariffs or possible un-pausing Trump may be easing his trade war, but he's far from ending it🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/trumps-ret...

Americans are facing a 413% increase in fake statistics.

ICYMI "You can't make this shit up" and its variants are red flags for made up shit. In this case, a burning airport parking garage is mischaracterized as "airport on fire" and a fictitious fire source is IDed.
