Straight up insane

When Trump promised to make prices go down I guess he meant stock prices

NAZI

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

russia is a kleptocratic dictatorship, an economy and political system in decline under a government that stopped investing in human capital decades ago. the united states alliance with europe is far more valuable and should be treated as such by american leaders.

Trump: Fire hundreds of thousands of career civil servants trying to keep America safe and running. Also, Trump: Give DHS a budget of up to $200 million to run anti-immigrant ads that repeatedly thank Trump for leading an immigration crackdown. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

On this day in 453, Saint Severian was martyred in a dispute over The Definition, which stated that the divinity and humanity of Christ were two distinct but inseparable natures contradicting the archimandrite Eutyches. "Yo, the fuck you even talking about?" his murderers asked as they slew him.

So DOGE's 'wall of receipts' is riddled with errors, falsehoods and distortions. big shock. about what you'd expect from 6 tech bros dragged over from the strip club www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

It's hard to call out specific affronts. But: Nauseating for Trump, Musk, unqualified Hegseth to target GEN CQ Brown. —Fighter squad command, multiple cmnd posts; —130 hrs combat-fighter, 3000 flying hrs; —Multiple grad degrees; —AF chief of staff, Chmn JCS www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

You see where this is going ….

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

The American right was always at real risk of turning into a personality cult, but you'd think they could've mustered the pride and self-respect to pick a less stupid personality.

swear to god if this were a movie script the studio would send notes back saying "tone it down, no one's gonna buy this"

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

how does someone who's taken up residence that far up a man's colon even breathe

yesterday?

wait this can't be right, we have two business geniuses at the helm

He has a character arc. This season, he's no longer even pretending to be anything but the supreme asshole he is.

The true King was right.

calling zelenskyy a dictator and trying to force an election during wartime only furthers putin’s agenda and is an abdication of american leadership on the global stage. the usa has become the largest source of geopolitical uncertainty in the world. www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-a...

For Fuck's Sake

Is he just pretending to be dumb? Is he actually going to start weighing the bars to see how much is there? And what about Area 51? When does he head there? And I hope he goes to the warehouse where they shot the fake moon landing.

The Dumbass Chainsaw Massacre

How it started. How it’s going

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

OpenAI is no longer an American company per se; most of its money going forward in next few years will come from SoftBank. www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

We've reached the point when European neo-Nazis are no longer comfortable being publicly associated with American neo-Nazis.

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

He means “you’ll be pardoned for obeying illegal orders”
