Donald Trump has made himself—and by extension, us—the laughing stock of the world.

“Well, Dr Franklin, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic… I think… wait… let me refresh my feed again…”

Nobody is saying this. They have to conjure up imaginary libs to argue with since they can’t win a debate with real ones on this issue.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

It puts into perspective the utter gall and malicious ignorance ignorance of those who want to erase one of the most consequential, courageous and accomplished Americans of the20th C, Jackie Robinson #42

Institutions such as Harvard have vast financial resources, great prestige & broad networks of influential alumni. If they do not or cannot resist the arbitrary application of government power, who else can? Without acts of resistance, what protects the rule of law? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

Democratic House Rep. Don Beyer to Jamieson Greer: "You have a most awful job trying to convince us and the people we represent that the president's trade policies are wise and measured, when the truth is they are stupid and bad." Nailed it! 🔥

MAGA is vile and dangerous, but it’s also so pathetic

Hello, #Ohio

Would that he would own up to his role in enabling the MAGA war on freedom of thought, expression and inquiry. It’s the stupid people destroying our country.

As the economy fails and millions lose their life savings, including vets whose benefits were cut, thanks to Trump's widescale economic fraud, he's now announced the approval of a unneeded $1 trillion defense budget and is requesting an extravagant military parade for his birthday.

Tired of winning

This will help with ticket sales to the South Lawn after party
