He nails it.

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

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

“I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights,” he said. “I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Not according to Marbury v. Madison.

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin: "No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Just horrible

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Spot on.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it! My fam knew what that meant. THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Assistant President Trump is such a fucking petulant manbaby.

She speaks truth.

Nailed it

Donald would flip his wig if he saw it.

THIS is how we beat Trump. We make him a fucking joke.

Ohhh! I forgot to share with y'all due to all that BS with that insurrectionists heckling me, A VIDEO MESSAGE WITH MS.SICKNICK! Never will we forget or let them erase January 6th

A pack of dumb foxes, drunk on power, are currently in charge of the safety of our henhouse.

Exactly right

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

There are two immutable facts when it comes to Trump. 1. Every accusation is a confession 2. Every wild assertion is a distraction Gaz-a-Lago is a distraction from the coup underway within our federal government, led by Oligarch Musk.

The owner of Twitter craves our personal data and trump sold it to him for 250 million.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

This is correct.

If only there was a word for when an unelected oligarch moves quickly to take over control of the government. The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media. www.democracydocket.com

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

#ProudBlue In 1976, Gerald Ford designated February #BlackHistoryMonth to honor the accomplishments of Black Americans. In 2025, Felon Trump directed the Pentagon and State Department to no longer recognize Black History Month. We ALL need to get louder and braver. These cowards can’t silence us.
