Thrift store finds are fun.

Ever notice how “small government” republicans are the biggest control freaks in this country? They want to inspect every one’s genitals because they’re sick MFs.

What a fucking monster. Town I grew up in....😢

If you're naked on the front porch and the neighbors can't see you, it's rural. If you're naked and the neighbors call the cops, it's suburban. If you're naked and the neighbors ignore you, it's urban. If you're naked on the front porch and your neighbor is also naked, it's Florida.

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

There ya go for all you Facebook warriors.

🤌 chef's kiss! Love it

During WW2, four brothers from a Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

"It’s particularly ironic when the editorial in question is about government secrecy undermining the public trust," we told @washingtonpost.com's @annebranigin.bsky.social. "Judge Martin shouldn’t be adjudicating parking tickets, let alone First Amendment cases."

So, here's what will happen: Republican members of Congress will stop holding town halls and all these angry old people will reelect them anyway. www.ajc.com/politics/mcc...

Acosta: It’s hard to see somebody out-Spicer Sean Spicer or out-Huckabee Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but Karoline Leavitt—she’s making a run for it. Unless they’ve already done it on SNL, I have to think something like that is in the works, because the skit writes itself.

Predictably the ADL is silent on Bannon's Nazi salute. The main reason is self-preservation-- they're keeping their head down to preserve access to the Trump White House around pro-Israel antisemitism policy. Keeping their 'eyes on the prize' as Greenblatt condescendingly

James Woods is jealous

Karoline Leavitt at today's press conference. Speaking about the upcoming USA vs Canada hockey match. She joked about Canada soon to become the 51st state and then giggled and walked away They think it's a joke. They don't care about anyone but their narrow bubble. Fuck her

Stockholm syndrome is a proposed condition or theory that tries to explain why hostages sometimes develop a psychological bond with their captors. Stockholm syndrome is a "contested illness" due to doubts about the legitimacy of the condition

With the blow back from Republicans on "his" remarks regarding Ukraine. He will throw another flare for the press to chase like a good lap dog to change the focus. He measures his approval daily. His need for approval will only get more aggressive.

ICE Prosecutor in Dallas Runs White Supremacist X Account. The Observer has identified the operator of “GlomarResponder,” an overtly racist account, as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden. Anyone shocked this piece of shit turned out to be a Trumpster? www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

I'm not a trained diplomatic negotiator, but the first rule should be that you don't berate and insult one of the parties involved publicly. Just my 2 cents

I hope the DOGEbags get listeria and shit their pants while they’re rifle puking all over the inside of their burning cyber trucks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

This.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

🚨 Standing beside and introducing Trump, an OMB official just announced Trump signed an executive order asserting that “only the President and the Attorney General can speak for the United States when stating an opinion as to what the law is.”
