Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is EVERYTHING the civilian pukes in the White House wish they were: masculine, powerful and charismatic. They hate him because his presence reveals their cosplay. Zelenskyy will go down as one of the great heroic figures of the 21st century

New, from @pamherd.bsky.social & I: Trump said "Social Security would not be touched." Now the Trump admin proposes a 50% cut in Social Security employees. This will absolutely gut SSA's ability to serve everyone who depends on the program - which is everyone. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday night that the federal government “should take over the governance of D.C.,” claiming that leaders of the nation’s capital are not doing enough to reduce crime, clean up graffiti and remove homeless encampments.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

WOW! Trump just blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Putin. He literally slammed Zelensky about the war saying: "You should have never started it." This is straight up Kremlin talking points and propoganda. Trump is a Russian asset and a TRAITOR to the USA. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20 billion to victims of financial fraud. For every $1 in funding for the CFPB, more than $4 has been placed back in consumers’ pockets. Elon Musk doesn't want you to know that it's one of the most efficient government agencies we have.

Also, CFPB actually returned to taxpayers something like 10x its own budget in recovered scammy payments and fines.
