French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Now that English is the official language of the United States, I look forward to everyone understanding the difference between “your” and “you’re,” “their” and “they’re,” and “to,” “two” and “too.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

How would a random Russian news agency reporter sneak into the White House?

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests. Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.

Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care

Any holiday not about straight white Christian men will be "paused."

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
