He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

Unhumanitarian

Is Donald Trump term over yet? Asking for a friend...

In 41 AD the mad emperor Caligula tried to make his favourite horse a Roman Consul, Romes highest elected official. In 2025 AD Donald Trump declared that the Gulf of Mexico should now be the Gulf of America and paper straws were henceforth banned. What's the fucking difference I ask you??

Instead of being sent to prison for his many crimes against the United States, the orange felon was given full power of the US govt and is now referring to himself as a King. I hate him with every fiber of my being and I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this tyrannical shit.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

I've tried to conquer Gibbon twice before in this lifetime and got no further in the Roman decline than Commodus, but over the next four years I'm going to bury all six volumes. Albeit, the backdrop of our current imperial collapse will be, I think, vastly more moronic than anything in antiquity.

For far too many years, Susan Collins expresses dismay and concern about Trump’s extremism, knowing that it doesn’t reflect the views of the majority of her state. But her ACTIONS show that she goes along with that extremism EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. A complete phony.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, and Gaza could not immediately be reached for comment

True story.

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

Republicans lift their snouts out of the public trough just long enough to complain that taxes are too high.

Sad but true. It's Putin and Musk versus the world.

No foreign adversary has done as much to harm America as President Musk and Donald Trump have done in 3 weeks.

Spoken like a true dictator.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Europe needs to back Ukraine with everything then freeze Trump out. Make him absolutely unimportant

BREAKING NEWS: Al Franken’s old Senate Seat will be OPEN in 2026! Who else agrees he should run again? 💙

Democracy is under attack, there's no other way to put it

Musk and son open.substack.com/pub/contrari.... love this

You know how they were saying this would be the most important election of our lifetimes? I'm starting to think they were right.

This was always Trump’s plan. Art of the Steal.

Embarrassed isn't strong enough. I'm ashamed to be an American.

The uncomfortable truth is the "Trump campaigned on egg prices" thing is something Dems tell themselves to rationalize what happened in November. Trump actually campaigned on hate and abusing power -- and won! The sorry state of the American electorate is a difficult thing to come to terms with.

Love a majestic ethnic cleansing.

The air of insanity about all of this is starting to get to me.

When Joe Biden was elected, America’s allies were willing to accept that the Trump era was an aberration. That bridge is now burned. It will take a generation to regain their trust and that’s assuming we get the chance.

The US has made many stupendous errors in the Middle East and has committed some great crimes. But this would surpass them all.
