This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

As Utah Phillips put it, these people have names and addresses. And even if they live in heavily guarded compounds, people like Musk, Vought and Big Balls sometimes go out on the streets and to restaurants. Don't let them show their faces in public without encountering a wave of palpable hatred.

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

So, trump is jacking up the prices on Americans with his idiotic 25% tariffs that CONSUMERS pay, but hey, at least you got to openly show your hate of immigrants and got Black History Month, Women's Month, and Pride Month events canceled, so there's that. Hateful jackasses.

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

If CBS settles this BS case, the money they pay Trump will pale in comparison to the drop in ratings they will experience.

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy. Or in prison. Not the Secretary of Defense.
