Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

I absolutely love this idea.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

The Acting President discusses affairs of state, while the young boy and the old man share their boredom.

The world in 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Germans oppose neo-fascism. The top aide to the president of the United States supports it. apnews.com/article/germ...

Millions of Americans jumping giddily into another Trump term. Happy Sunday!

Stupidity is terminal

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

Plus the price gougers who will match the new price regardless of source of goods.

This guy at the FBI painting over vibrant, positive values with thick strokes of dull paint is such an apt metaphor for the Age of Trump 2.0.

Every country that Trump slaps a tariff on should retaliate by slapping a 1000% tariff on all Tesla and Starlink products, if only to show Elon that there is a downside to using our public government as his private playpen.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Elon Musk- is his new slogan “Make Apartheid Great Again?”

With Hegseth getting through, cultists, conspiracy theorists and cretins like Gabbard, RFK Jr and Patel are in play for winning nominations. Brace.

Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t seem to me that a bishop needs to apologize for preaching the Sermon on the Mount.

The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research! That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

@fastmissile.bsky.social Good to see you here. Saw your Twitter was suspended. Hope it's unsuspended someday so I can go back and review the wisdom of Behemoth. B Man!!!!

“On social media, Heather Thomas wrote: ‘So when all was said and done, the only country that opened [its] prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.’” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

What the pundits who have spent months manufacturing the myth that Trump is taking office as an empowered strongman determined to complete his mission failed to recognize was that his mission was to stay out of jail and make a lot of money. Mission Accomplished. On to golf.

Aeroflot

2009 Obama 28°F 1977 Carter 28°F 1961 Kennedy 22°F It’s not about the cold… it’s about the small crowd size.

If you're only worried about China, and not the billionaires that own other social media apps, then you're missing the full picture.

This is why I support DEI. The existing system operates to exclude women and minorities. Period.

Tuning cat.
