Feel like the President being obviously bribed in ways that violate the constitution should be a bigger deal.

Puppets…

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery. That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax? Nope. Corruption.

This is what happens when the federal government politicizes science.

No kings. No dictators.

Absolutely naked influence buying by a foreign country: "A fund backed by Abu Dhabi, he said, would be making a $2 billion business deal using the Trump firm’s digital coins." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

I now believe that some of my problems in later life are due to food dye in the heroin I was consuming for 20 years. by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

Not sure which is worse — that they’re really this stupid, or that they think we are.

Trump: "Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30"

Donald Trump is malignant narcissist who is psychologically incapable of handling rejection so whenever possible he invents a fantasy version of events that allows his ego to remain intact rather than having to face reality. He is doing that here.

Wow the Trump administration apparently saved 75% of the population

May the Washpost Opinion staffer(s) who wrote, edited and published this graf a few months ago be identified and shunned from any legitimate news organization.

Mike Waltz takes his turn kissing Trump's ass. Trump is going around the room and giving everyone a chance to pucker up and smooch.

The man who has never accepted responsibility, apologized, or admitted a mistake in his entire life isn’t about to start now.

What is the economic logic here? Is this like me saying if you strip out the effect of my gambling addiction my household budget is in the black?

Just incredible

The media uses the possibility his brain is mush to avoid calling him a liar and the fact that he’s a liar to avoid saying his brain is mush. The effect is that they write up neither of the 2 possibilities, dramatically helping Trump.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

Oh my God.

"Trump called Bezos to complain about report that Amazon planned to list tariff costs on site" -The Guardian Seems like a good time to repost this:

shoutout to Sean O'Brien on this one

Bezos blinks alas

Ongoing pattern that extends from foreign students, to Governors, to CEOs. Presenting any information that undermines the state narrative is "hostile" with the implication that it will be punished with retribution from the state. This is the strategy of a weak regime afraid of transparency.

The Conclave Has Spoken: Habemus Trump #PresidentTrump #Tariffs #Pontiff #Pope #TradeWar #PoliticalCartoon

In previous administrations, this would have been an impeachable scandal.

"Donald Trump and his children, cronies, allies, appointees, saboteurs, and fellow uber-rich will never stop trying to seize ever more power and make ever more money. This is almost always the simplest, most logical explanation for whatever is going on."

“He’s the richest man in the world, what could he want from the government?”

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

Before they exiled the kids, they used them as hostages. I hate this so much. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The pro life party is summarily sentencing toddlers to exile

"I've known Jeff for fifteen years [in 2002]. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life." —Trump

At this point it's not even just that they're lying, it's that the lies are so insultingly obvious. This is up there with "no, the details of an imminent airstrike weren't classified" and "we have no way of getting abductees back from the guy we're paying to house them."

The CyberTank… #Musk

"I will stop this war, its slaughter of children, and the ceaseless and unnecessary deaths of thousands," he said, hilariously.

Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

I appreciate what this is trying to do but I doubt that he peacefully leaves at the end of his term and I doubt that the rest of the governmental infrastructure can survive until we find out and I don't think "we have to survive 3.5 years and then we'll be fine" is correct politically or morally

The level of criminality in the Republican Party is off the charts. Trump just pardoned a Nevada politician who raised money for a statue of a slain police officer but spent it on cosmetic surgery instead. Trump gives his co-conspirators a license to steal.

President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations. It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Trump is using his vapid meme coin to take bribes in exchange for pardons and special treatment. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars this way, and his SEC is just . . . letting it happen. Just staggering open air corruption. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

According to the very serious US Attorney in DC, he’s collared a domestic terrorist, charged him with a misdemeanor, and released him without bond. www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/c...

New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1
