Just had the premonition that if Cuomo becomes Mayor he'll immediately be running for the '28 nomination and oh God spare us.

The only time in the last 100 years a Republican President was better than the previous Republican President was Bush coming after Reagan.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

And people wonder why Democrats have a "brand" problem. DO NOT VOTE FOR CUOMO.

The Regency Era President

This is what happens when influencers, cable news personalities, conspiracy theorists, and thin skinned man babies are given power.

I'm available if you need help connecting the dots.

Trump watches Les Mis for Master of the House and dreams about the spinoff featuring the innkeeper's various scams

We don't know whether a majority of Americans are heartfelt antifascists or not, and that's really the problem isn't it.

We finally found someone with an ego large enough and shame non existent enough to face trump on his own terms.

I suggest we stuff them both in a rocket with all the ketamine and hamberders and launch it to Mars.

i think dems should accept elon musk's money and then burn it joker style.

if this all ends in tears, a bankrupt trillionaire, and a president with dementia then i guess it was all worth it.

Citing undefeated record, GOP joins team death.

Don't insult Tony Soprano like that. Trump is dumber than Fredo and twice as easy to manipulate.

The real scandal in 1930s German politics was Kaiser Wilhelm’s cognitive decline

We're gonna rerererehash how the previous guy was "old" while ignoring the current and ongoing madness? K.

Carthago delenda est. But Carthage is every single person or institution that supported Trump. And Cato never forgot nor forgave Carthage, no matter how much the mainstream media wanted him to move on.

The purpose Trumpism is to make people more desperate and afraid, especially in red states. They need desperate people willing to accept modern feudalism. Its not a bug, but THE feature that millions will lose healthcare and other services. Also, trillions in taxcuts is a nice side benefit.

Ken for President ⚒️

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If we're wasting time on ex presidents being senile I'd like to circle back to Reagan having Alzheimer's.

Trump's senility is energetic, arrogant, and bold so it's both less obvious and MUCH more dangerous than Biden's slow, broken, sad version. The absolute worst Biden could do was "nothing." How I long for the glory days of "nothing."

stop treating things trump says like they are real policies

Let's just do a kickstarter for say $10 Billion for Trump to resign and self-deport. Only idiots and losers give up that kind of cash.

Its only "corruption" if it originates from the obscure "cor" valley.

ok but is uncle joe the best messenger for this uhh startling revelation?

Is Chicago the most memeable US city?

Chicago Pope's here

Trump continues his international losing streak.

"Observers said it was likely the parliament voting anomaly ― which should have been a formality ― arises from Merz’s own ranks not voting for him, and maybe simply because of lawmakers absent due to ill health." Is Nancy Pelosi the only competent party leader in the world?

People are talking about his Pope trolling and Alcatraz, rather than the billion dollar corruption scheme.

Maybe he just rewatched "The Rock" and got inspired?

remember when trump was offering the vp to kasich as "in charge of both domestic and foreign policy" hey, marco rubio! sorry jd vance, you're just vibes.

I really wish I could describe GenZ what it felt like growing up in a miracle. My grandfather on my mother's side was a dentist. He had a grand encyclopedia collection and it was just this incredible thing. You could pick up a random book and go to a random page and just be regaled with information

Americans are miffed that a 'lil bit of fascism comes with a crashing economy. Maybe read the small print next time?

Trump fires Hegseth via truthsocial during the Pope's funeral and appoints Patel acting Secretary. Comments on the resort potential of St. Peters, then something about how communist Francis was but still "a fine man, I'm told" Wraps up by comparing Conclave to his Electoral College blowout victory.

Hypothetically, how would he be doing if he'd left the best economy in the world alone to do its thing but also did dumb fascist stuff?

Trump/MAGA will never surrender voluntarily. At best they might stage a "strategic withdrawal" of sorts. Such as giving up on deporting foreign students but then immediately pivot to something even worse, like arresting judges for doing their damn job. Repeat as necessary for the next 3.5 years.

i never heard of internet when i was a kid. i guess its fake too.
