All this is true, but the thing that still sticks with me is letting go of the 'Look at these weirdos' attack line. Felt like that was breaking through to normies for a while and then the consultant class supposedly shut it down?

Reminder that Trump is not the architect of the coup. He is only the figurehead.

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

Nope

They should just impeach over everything. Create a massive Declaration of Independence style list of crimes and misdemeanors. He's not going to get convicted unless he becomes so unpopular the GOP begins to shit its pants, so the only point is messaging and headlines

I took a little news break yesterday. My brains decided to use that lack of input to process everything that is going on. And, It's really bad.

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party.

14th amendment, section 4: "... But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States ..."

Enrique Tarrio, the Proud Boys leader sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to apply to the Trump administration's $1.776 billion 'weaponization' fund, assuming he could get between $2 million and $5 million reut.rs/43mKggy

As someone who lived through outsourcing in the 2000's I guarantee you the ONLY thong CEO's care about is their stock price

Quote with a fictional band that isn't Spinal Tap

The Trump $1.776 billion slush fund is not mere corruption. Trump is giving his brownshirts money for recruiting, logistics, AR-15's and tactical gear. Nobody in the national media seems to be talking about this, or about how the Paycheck Protection Program played a central role in funding Jan 6

And then there's this: The settlement gets sweeter for Team Trump In a newly-posted, one-page document, the Justice Dept details that it is now prohibited from pursuing tax claims against Trump or his family in the future Signed by Todd Blanche

Patricipated in the January 6th what now?

"The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil." - Mon Mothma, Star Wars, Andor This is a post about AI

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just rubberstamped 49 Trump nominees without the consent or agreement of Democrats, weaponizing the partisan procedural workaround they created last year.

chuck schumer got his war with iran and he's gonna let trump do whatever the fuck he wants, that's the sad part

If you ranked the 1000 most corrupt things ever done by an executive branch official in the history of the United States something like 950 of them would have happened since Jan 20 2025.

Tina Peters is going to be the poster child of these "reimbursements". The message is clear, loyalty to Trump will be rewarded.

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

And there it is, folks. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

I’m calling on the General Assembly to vote to reconvene for special session to impeach or censure the Governor. Governor Polis commuted Tina Peters’ sentence after the legislative session, likely in an effort to avoid accountability for misconduct. The people of Colorado demand accountability.

(sad trombone noise)

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson: “How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for freedom among the men who demand submission from their wives and obedience from their children?”

All that money and he never saw "Hamilton"

... and why do the companies have lax oversight?

If everyone else is jumping off of the bridge, you don't ask why, you jump off the bridge

Tired: this meeting could have been an email. Wired: this app could have been a website

AI will soon join Corporations in having more rights than Women in the USA

Every ICE agent will have to face charges of violating people's constitutional rights. We will find out if "I was following orders" is a valid excuse in the US.

Good?

OMFG DO NOT GIVE AI ACCESS TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS FOR THE LOVE OF ZOD ARE YOU FSCKING KIDDING ME!?!?

I used to think the constant contradictions in MAGA politics were weakness or embarrassment. I don’t anymore. The contradiction itself has become the badge of loyalty. The more obvious the hypocrisy, the more it proves you’ll defend the tribe no matter what. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Johnson is not an idiot. He's the tip of the spear. They call it the "Unitary Executive", but it is just Dictatorship.

She's just following orders

I need some new swear words. The old ones aren't cutting it anymore.

Is he only allowed to do events when Trump is out of the country?

Does he know Trump was convicted of 34 counts of fraud? Of course he does. He thinks we're stupid

Rep. Frederica Wilson D-FL missed all 10 votes on Wednesday in the House. Wilson has now missed 43 straight votes - she last voted on April 17. Wilson's X account this week sent out photos of a Service Academy day - but pictures from the same event were posted last October

Put Mike Johnson's pic in the Dictionary next to "White Fragility"

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

Trump's 250th 4th of July is gonna be garbage, isn't it? worse than his military parade?

If they were smart they wouldn't be Republicans

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Disney is doing sequels, prequels, and live action remakes while leaning on existing IP and nostalgia farming. Laika releases a trailer so beautiful I'm tearing up.

White Democrats sigh in relief

We need an amendment that sets age limits and term limits in one branch of government. I propose 18 years max. 3 terms in senate, 9 terms in congress. 18 years on the bench. Or any combination that totals 18 years. Nobody over 65 on election day can be on the ballot.
