Only Donald Trump could find a way to take money that was supposed to be given to the troopies tax free and find a way to fuck them over by now making it taxable lmfao

TBH the Beer Hall Putch was pretty dumb itself. In some ways the authorities responded a bit better than ours because they shot more of them(nearly got Hitler too). By not bringing the hammer down on Trump and the top leaders, it paved the way for what we have now.

I’m pissed that we’re all going to have a shitty 10-15 years economically because a dozen techboys believed that it was possible to write code to the point that the program could write better code and eventually either kill us all or make us immortal, and so they spent $1.5tn for $41bn in revenue

Beginning to think the president might be, y’know, deranged.

Is this the first Melania movie you don’t have to go to the back room of the video store to find?

This would be a very good moment for Democratic leaders to increase the political salience of unnecessary wars

Trump’s Secretary of Lying gets community noted again 🤥

why is this man on trial for having some mcdonalds. that healthcare ceo had a case of late onset crib death, its clear on video

lol Schumer got played

I love this for him.

We’re all being punished because a bunch of unattractive billionaires are mad they can only buy the faux respect of sycophants, and not real cultural influence.

New authors, please, PLEASE, you don't need AI to "improve" your writing. Rough edges, weird word choices, these are the quirks that make human prose interesting. I'd read someone's fever-dream of a 1st novel any day over an AI book that reads like the hideous amalgam of peppy corporate PR. #booksky

Government websites changing on the fly to conform with what their leaders are saying in meeting is some serious Orwellian vibes.

Republicans have sacrificed any right to complain about how they are treated as the minority when they lose, all on the altar of this madman trying desperately to stay out of jail.

"Winner of the Only Presidential Big Boy Award"

This is fucking embarrassing. I can’t wait for our next POTUS to throw all this shit in the trash.

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

Trump's FBI is so incompetent that they search for mass shooters the same way someone would look for a lost pet. Just put up some photos and hope someone has seen them.

as the hosts hint that they would like to be invited to watch the movie at the white house, one asks "is there a movie theater in the white house?" no, dumbass, there is not. It was in the east wing.

Please don’t put in the papers that I lost control of the house

Earlier today I saw how Trump is ordering a No-Fly zone over Venuzeula. And just a few minutes ago, I saw an announcement that Trump is ordering a blockade of all oil tanker traffic to and from. The law says the Epstein files must drop midnight Friday. Nothing to see here. This isn't hinky at all.

Unilaterally declaring a No-Fly zone and a naval blockade of a foreign country that didn't commit any act of aggression against us is conduct unbecomming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

1/ Trump is now asserting three incompatible justifications for their military campaign: drugs (criminal law problem), terrorism (armed-conflict framing), and theft of “oil, land, and other assets” (economic coercion).

Just got this notification. My business has a small shipment of Colombian tea currently in customs in Miami. We paid $965 for the tea. The Trump administration is taxing us an additional $142.84.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

It might get me labeled as a Crazy Bluesky Radical, but I don’t think it’s great that our nuclear arsenal is at the disposal of a demented old man who’s just an exposed nerve of grievances and hatreds with absolutely no impulse control.

He's an enemy of America too.

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

I have a political Theory of Everything. Almost no one has any idea of what the government actually does, or how it does it. So it’s hard for them to understand when it starts doing it badly.

Trump can’t be controlled, but anytime you hear anything coming out of this administration from anyone else… the first question you should ask is “why?”… and then assume the absolute most cynical explanation. Remember, the tail wags the dog.

I can’t believe I have to do this. But okay, for everyone wondering why Susie Wiles said all that shit… It was all a smokescreen for this ONE statement. Everything else she said was designed to make you say “oh… look… she’s being honest”… just so you’d believe this one thing.

Excuse me, I have executed *lethal kinetic strikes* against *narco-terrorist cars* along known drug-carrying car routes (I am a lethal warrior)

they keep emphasizing that these are on "known narcotrafficking routes" and like, those are just route-routes. there are not special ocean highways for drugs.

constantly bewildered by the number of ostensibly intelligent people on this website who can watch a republican look directly into the camera and say “i am doing this bad thing because this bad outcome is the outcome i want, and i will not be moved by the consequences” and look at congressional dems

"Both Republican and Democratic senators said the end goal of the operation was still unclear." Could be reasons that the US Constitution doesn't leave decisions over the use of military force to the whims of one man. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

There's a special election tonight for the KY Senate in a seat that Harris won by just 5 points last year, but the GOP doesn't seem to be contesting it seriously. One possible reason? Their candidate called young women “coddled americunts." Our writeup: www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

I am losing my mind DO ANY OF THESE JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT VENEZUELA IS NOT ON THE PACIFIC THAT THE CARIBBEAN SEA DOES NOT TOUCH THE PACIFIC THAT IN FACT THIS IS WHAT THE PANAMA CANAL WAS BUILT FOR WTF IS THE EASTERN PACIFIC PLEASE LOOK AT A MAP

Coal in the stocking of every firefighter who cut the chains off fuck those guys

Anyone who has a favorite Rob Reiner movie that they'll remember him by is a member of Western Civilization in a way that guys like this aren't

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

This article isn't political, but you can tell exactly who these people voted for, even if the estrangement wasn't about politics.

I’m sorry, but that’s not how this works.

"Making the low viewership for the Erika Kirk town hall even more striking is that CBS pulled in a large audience for the annual Army-Navy game that afternoon, drawing 7.3 million viewers per Nielsen’s early measurement." 😬

The Coast Guard is in the Department of Homeland Security While Kristi Noem is the de facto DHS Secretary, her job is photo ops - every expensive photo ops DHS is under the total control of Stephen MIller so swastikas and nooses fit right in with his racist, Nazi agenda

So it can be done.

I, for one, am glad that wealthy people can now experience air travel in the way everyone else does, miserably
