The speed of Events would suggest that the Trump presidency will end with people in uniforms carting him hog-tied and/or at gunpoint from the Oval Office, and various less swivel-eyed family members quietly changing their surnames #Trump #Greenland

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

Best one I've seen yet...

I saw a post once that said ‘living in Europe is basically having a really nice day until 5pm when Trump wakes up and announces something batsh*t’.

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

In the local and an auld lad bustles in and orders a pint “Ah sorry, all the taps are empty, No beer left,” deadpans the bar-chap Not a bother on the auld lad “I’ll have a banana daiquiri so” #TheLocal #DryJanuaryMyHat

FIFA’s peace prize scam pays off

Denmark renames Greenland Epstein Island so that Trump will never talk about it again.

'Donroe Doctrine', my arse. Do not dignify what is just his metastasised Pussygate Policy. Women, resources, power, sovereign nations - all the one to the mad king. Grab 'em. Do anything. #greenland #trump

Nearly 30,000 people have cancelled their World Cup tickets after an innocent woman was shot in the face and Donald Trump called her a terrorist. Don't go to this dangerous hellhole, it might cost you your life.

FAO of every single political leader/social media watchdog which has failed to act against Elon Musk’s malign creations X and Grok A pox on all your houses

Video analysis clearly contradicts what Noem and Trump claim about the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. By @devonlum.bsky.social @robinsteinnyt.bsky.social Ainara Tiefenthaler Courtney Brooks for @nytimes.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQCv...

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.
