Try not to laugh.

The dream is dead

It’s clear from Donald Trump’s decision to pause the sweeping global tariffs he said he would never back down from that the man is a formidable genius and arguably the greatest president in American history. My column, following the Fox News/Pyongyang style guide: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Hang on, so his plan was to lie about tariffs, dragging down the markets, losing trillions and risking an economic meltdown, only to reverse course, driving markets back up to where they were a month ago, but nowhere near the level they were when he took office? What?

Like clockwork

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Kristi Noem….certified ba….dumbass. My latest.

His voters are too stupid to know what a tariff is John tell them

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy says he’s out $7 million bc of Trump’s tariffs 😏

1986 — moving America towards a fascist theocracy was in the works. Should’ve listened more to Frank Zappa 👇🏼

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Damn, we need to get some Ozempic for leopards.

if we get through all this, can we have a whole sale examination of male arrogance and how it puts us in the shit, all the time? Not just Trump's or Navarro's or Musk's. But every fucking pundit/banker who thought it wouldn't be that bad, or that bad for them. idiots.

Ben Shapiro: “Probably unconstitutional… one of the biggest tax increases on 🇺🇸 consumers in history… predicated on a bad idea of how international trade works…” #TrumpTariffs #TrumpTradeWar

US MAGA Republicans are quoting Hitler's chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. #3E

Roses are red, Investors are mad, I'm no economist, but

Found these old grievances online. Sound familiar? He cuts off our trade with all parts of the world: He imposes taxes on us without our consent: He deprives us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury: He transports us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses…

I don’t think people realize how bad it’s going to get tomorrow when Wall Street finally collectively realizes that these people have no idea how economics work, and then it’s gonna be a scramble to not be the one left holding the bag.

Is it really too much to ask media outlets reporting on invading Greenland & Canada to lead with "THIS IS WILDLY ILLEGALLY UNDER BOTH OUR NATO AND UN TREATY COMMITMENTS, WHICH ARE ALSO PART OF US LAW"? The normalization of this is wildly inappropriate & there is no excuse for it.

Gotta admit, pretty impressive that Cory Booker is not just going but fucking cooking at 20+ hours.

Chelsea Green fires back at a fan that criticizes her for celebrating International Transgender Day of Visibility nodq.com/news/chelsea...

Lots about the McAfee situation sucks, but I also just keep coming back to how many more aspiring McAfees there are. Bunch of guys with front facing cameras who want to dominate the discussion one minute and then be treated like smol beans who are just having fun with their dudes when they fuck up.

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com: "Mr Taibbi said when he was first searching through the so-called Twitter files he didn't know what he was looking at. Well, he still doesn't. Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

I almost forgot to post this, and it's the perfect day for it.

Guardians hat on a Twins ad makes sense to the Fanatics and that explains everything you need to know about the Fanatics

The entire thread is like this, nazis asking for a summary of their posts, the AI says "Well it sure as shit looks like you're a nazi", then they argue with each response and it just goes into more detail why they're nazis

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

If someone on Fox criticized him an hour ago he would know about that though. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Democrats Huddle To Decide How Best To Let Massive Republican Fuck-Up Slip Through Fingers

Our President stands with Putin. Our Intel Dir is a Putin cheerleader. And our VP, NSA, Sec of Def, & Sec of State, like drunk frat boys, just put our classified war plans on an open party line. Hey allies of America, you’d be out of your minds to share intelligence with America. Out of your minds.

That an alcoholic weekend talk show host cosplaying the SecDef colossally screwed up, isn’t all that stunning. What’s stunning is how republicans will ignore this dangerous breach of security because they’re too afraid to tell Donald Trump he was wrong about Pete Hegseth.

The view from across the pond… 😕

BREAKING: RFK Jr Accidentally Added to Pete Hegseth’s War Room Signal Chat, Sends Sext Meant For Olivia Nuzzi

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

Shame on you Bill Maher. If you stand with our democracy, you would never sit down with Trump. And fuck you Bill Maher for taking a cheap shot at Zelensky. Zelensky is a hero. www.thedailybeast.com/bill-maher-r...

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

True, no cars were harmed in the attack on the United States Capitol.

When you're gloating about dismantling the Department of Education you should probably not spell the name wrong

FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU

cybertrucks should have been recalled over how fucking ugly they are

it's just gonna be a decade of slow drip of reveals of how the world's shittiest autocrats dumped money into America's flourishing right wing propaganda and contrarian trolling grievance echoplex (while consolidated, right wing media oligarchs simultaneously and brutally axe real journalism)

Roses are red Violets are blue

Maybe fix your fucking ugly cars instead of vandalizing Social Security, asshole
