Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Folks.....

Good thing Iran giving up uranium and opening the Strait is only 5% or I might be pessimistic about this situation.

Let me say once again, this is not normal posting behaviour for a president or for anyone else. He is quite simply out of his fucking mind.

It's finally filtered through his Swiss cheese brain that bragging he can pick out the squirrel in a lineup of line-drawing animals isn't the flex he thought it was. So now he's "embellished" what a cognitive test includes with imaginary math problems. Notice he doesn't give us the correct answer.

Donald Trump is now responsible for 28% of the US national debt. That's $11 trillion. In 250 years of American history, no president has added more. That's not an opinion. It's math.

🇷🇸 Police fired tear gas and clashed with protesters in central Belgrade on Saturday, as tens of thousands gathered to demand early elections and an end to the more than decade-long rule of Serbia's President ‌Aleksandar Vucic, - Reuters

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump has offered Iran the concept of a framework for a temporary memorandum of understanding outlining parameters to begin negotiations.

So, no deal. Rinse and repeat. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

A gentle reminder

Sounds like we're claiming we won, got everything we said we wanted, packing up and going home. Yet none of that is true. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

He was convicted by a jury of his peers. Sentenced to 22 years. Trump pardoned him. Now he’s seeking multimillion payout with our tax dollars. WE ARE UNDER-REACTING...

This is approximately 15 times more than the $1.7 billion that Obama released to Iran in 2016 (which was owed to the country) that Trump hasn't shut up about and cited as a prime reason to scuttle the JCPOA.

So Trump blew up Obama's deal with Iran, launched a new war, depleted our arsenal, cost us tens of billions, exposed the US as weaker to the world, and ended up just going back to a version of Obama's deal but worse? Do I have that right?

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified…… History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - George Orwell -

The most extreme example is the Iran war. Trump and Hegseth do not believe in cause and effect. They think speech generates intended outcomes, that they can discourse their way to victory. And why wouldn’t they? They’ve gotten where they are by speaking things into existence. Not how it works!

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Trump’s Iran “endgame” is surrender dressed as strength. They mocked Obama’s deal, which cut Iran’s enriched uranium by 98% and centrifuges by two-thirds, then tore it up and handed Netanyahu a worse outcome: Iran stronger, Hormuz in play, America walking away. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

His well documented history as a draft dodger makes his cosplay as a national hero is absolutely repugnant. It won't surprise me in the least when he eventually awarded himself a Medal of Honor

Joe Biden shows signs of aging. The NY Times writes dozens of articles about it. Trump falls asleep in meetings weekly, says insane things, mixes up people and countries and makes irrational decisions. The NY Times Publisher is like: “that darn media!!”

At this point we can't belive a damn thing the Trump administration says, or Iran for that matter. It will all come out, let's wait for that.

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

Actually, while everyone here has been arguing over how Tyler Austin Harper is a pretentious class traitor who should not be writing about beer or anything else, I've been watching the meltdown as Trump finalizes an American surrender to Iran.

When Stephen Colbert hosted the final episode of “The Late Show,” he told viewers that the next place they would most likely see him was on public-access TV in Michigan. The next day, he hosted an episode of “Only in Monroe,” which covers the happenings of a town about 40 miles southwest of Detroit.

How many times did we hear that lying lunatic Trump bray about Barack Obama "giving" (it was not a gift—it was a settlement of a dispute) Iran $400 million (with $1.3 billion in interest) on "pallets"? Trump is giving Iran almost FIFTEEN TIMES that amount of money. What a shameless hypocrite.

Trump demands his own agencies hand him $10 billion. MSM: Could be testing norms. Trump reduces this to $2 billion to hand out to his personal goon squad. MSM: He’s maturing.

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. We cannot endure 29 more months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, wannabe dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

But Trump said that he would cut our electricity bills in half! 🤔 NEADA is projecting that electricity bills will be 8.5% higher this summer than last, on average, with residents in some Southern states seeing even bigger increases. www.npr.org/2026/05/23/n...

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.

Whelp, most of the pro @TomSteyer posts you see online are paid shills as are some of @XavierBecerra. www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

Trump disapproved of a republican dude having extramarital affairs? You'd think he'd assume the guy was doing everything to become his mini me...

Damn.

It’s worth noting that when Jan. 6 happened, the pro-Trump right used dozens of conspiracy theories to try and offload blame from themselves—e.g., claiming it was “antifa,” “feds.” Now, they seem keen to just admit they did it—all of it—and it was good.

Long before an Assemblies of God pastor was convicted of rape, children told church leaders about hidden cameras, drugged drinks and abuse, a new lawsuit says.

Lifted off food stamps? Trump and Republicans RIPPED food assistance away from millions of Americans to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires.

This story is bonkers

That's weird; he told reporters he had nothing to do with the fund. Now he's saying he gave up a lot of money "allowing" it.
