being the first person to figure this out has probably been a traumatizing experience for someone

So cool to see that President Zelenskyy is a far superior negotiator than Trump. President Z is whipping out deals left and right. Meanwhile President Dingus of America hasn't closed one single deal with anybody... anywhere.

A lot of motherfuckers post a lot of fucking memes and talk about living democracy and opposing fascism and engage in some of the most disgusting casual sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, and ableism. Get your shit together and heal from this fucking poison.

This.... and add in the restock from Russia and other allies and all Trump managed to accomplish so far is higher gas prices and a lot of dead people.

To my former GOP colleagues still in office: enjoy the next 24-48 hours. Relax, take some time for yourself. Cuz pretty soon you’re going to have to go on TV and defend all the terrible things Trump agreed to in China because he wanted to be friends with XI

What people do not want to say out loud if it wasn’t for the Black enslaved who joined the Union we all would still be under that Confederate flag! The same will happen again when some folk wake up & realize THEY NEED BLACK PEOPLE AGAIN! IMO! IJS!

The Oz managed to find a bloke on Struggle Street willing to stand in front of his Porsche and complain about being hard done by. Actual quote: "as he approaches his 80th year, Mr Conkey is contemplating adding another investment property to his portfolio.”

If you want to know why so many people are AI skeptics it's because things that used to work like Google Advanced Search went all-in on AI and now do not fucking work. IT DOES NOT FUCKING WORK ANYMORE

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Every day’s a Global embarrassment.

Don’t let them tell you that Ukraine depleted our weapons stocks. They didn’t. Completely different systems. In fact, because of Ukraine our industrial base has improved. They lie and lie. We won’t fall for it

The Epstein class is out in full daylight with this.

It’s kind of backwards way of looking at it. There are thousands of Americans who qualify for *citizenship* because of their Canadian ancestry- Canada is fast-tracking the applications of the subset of these Americans who identify themselves as transgender.

Checks out.

Jesus. Maybe Trump will have better luck with Jerry Falwell's pool guy.

Dear CNN that’s not defending as you put it, it’s more like pissing on all Americans including his cult base. Who wrote these articles. And nothing was wrong with the reflector pool or the Strait of Hormuz or the damn WH before he demolished it for no reason.

Republicans refused to show up today for the #Epstein survivors testimony. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett explains this shouldn’t be a partisan issue. She’s right. Shameful.

Breaking: South Carolina Senate rebuffs Trump, declines to take up redistricting before midterms, preserving Jim Clyburn's majority-Black district South Carolina State Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey: "We are the most gerrymandered Republican state in the country already"

"they shut down churches and then when george floyd happend they said you had to go protest" Who is the "they" here who both ordered churches to stop holding in-person services AND told people to go protest? These folks have lost their minds.

It's hard to believe, but this really is the official position of our country's Very Serious Financial Analysts: "it would simply be too horrible if the strait stays closed, so ... [closes eyes tight, taps heels together] ... it won't!"

The Trump regime actually let two guys with zero government experience use ChatGPT to cancel $100M in grants—including Holocaust education. A federal judge just humiliated them, called it unconstitutional, and reversed every single cut. Read how she did it: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/a-federal-...

The world hates us, huge events are desirable targets for terrorists, the FBI has fired or lost its terrorism experts, funding to secure the games was held up for months, the folks in charge are clueless or focused on mass deportations, FEMA is demolished in an El Nino year ... what could go wrong?🤷‍♀️

But they were too dumb to ensure the hype was real before following the crowd - like five-year-olds playing soccer. Those at the top of corporations do not belong there. Meritocracy my ass.

So true. This was Biden's big failing. Obama's, too. Trump shows the value of endless salesmanship--even when you're lying about a nonexistent Golden Age.

DHS says: “Activist Biden judge releases ... illegal alien wanted for murder.” But leaves out 3 facts. 1. Judge never knew of existence of homicide warrant ... 2. because AUSA never told her ... 3. *because ICE instructed AUSA not to tell her.* My deep dive: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/dhs-...

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

They had no intention of winning on policy, it was always about the cheating and the end of true democracy. Green lit by John Roberts SCOTUS. America, please do all of our grandchildren a solid and get out and vote like you’re Hungary. They took back democracy, so can you. #Sheshed

As I’ve mentioned before, this is not just about depriving Blacks the right to representation, it’s about Congressional representation and which party’s agenda prevails.
