He’s really out here suggesting the highest court in the country should have just used toddler logic to keep the money.

The Billion-Dollar Leak: What the BBC Just Uncovered.

The math of systemic bias is simple. ​In the upcoming local elections here in Iceland, one Icelandic party (the Center Party, which is a far right party) has selected 14 men and 0 women as their lead candidates (oddvitar). 1/2

Well, if this doesn’t sound like a deranged individual with a massive Messiah complex, I don’t know what would. Apparently, the fate of a civilization is just a Tuesday cliffhanger for the man who posts like a cult leader whose "end of the world" party is running late. #FakeNews

​Oil tankers move at the speed of a bicycle. Shipments arriving now were sent before the war, but the queue ends soon: ​🇪🇺 Europe: April 10 🇺🇸 USA: April 15 ​Get ready for a global bidding war and even higher oil prices when the queue ends. #thereasontrumpispanicking

Well, this is clearly a masterstroke of genius. A plan this airtight couldn't possibly fail, unless, of course, reality gets in the way.

With Pam Bondi officially out as AG today, the second major firing since Kristi Noem was ousted in March, is the house of cards finally starting to wobble? Rumors are already swirling that DNI Tulsi Gabbard is next on the chopping block.

​It feels like Trump decided the path to immortality is to fail so colossally that it becomes folklore. ​Legacy of incompetence? Secured. Now it’s just a question of how much more damage he does before the end. Hopefully the situation doesn't deteriorate further. Though I’m not exactly optimistic

A doctor friend thinks Trump suffers from porphyria, a genetic disorder characterized by confusion, agitation, and paranoia. King George III had the same thing and they treated him with leeches and arsenic, which today is known as the GOP healthcare plan.

Trump: “Total victory. I’m a genius.” ​Also Trump: “NATO must send ships to the Strait of Hormuz NOW or the alliance is dead!” ​Imagine winning a war so hard you have to threaten "useless" allies to help you find the exit while the war you "won" is still being fought.

14 days into a war and the Pentagon is a ghost town. ​Hegseth fired the Joint Chiefs, the Navy & Air Force heads, and the DIA, replacing career strategists with loyalists. ​A Fox News host gutted the military while Jim Mattis warned of "catastrophe."

Is the Hormuz Strait becoming Trump’s "Bay of Pigs"? ​Pushing ships into IRGC drone fire while ignoring Naval warnings is classic "Groupthink." ​The irony: Trump claims a "win" despite high oil prices, but it actually fuels a US gas crisis while Russia and China cash in. Strategic chaos.

Þetta var verðskuldað. "Kjartan var tilnefndur fyrir fréttaskýringar um loftslagsmál á Vísi og fyrir að skýra flókin umfjöllunarefni á mannamáli án þess að afsláttur sé gefinn af fagmennsku."

Old cartoon gets new life. ​Ron Cobb’s 1975 critique of the military-industrial complex hits just as hard in 2026. ​The perspective shift here is everything: those on the ground looking up at the billion-dollar shadows and seeing a systemic failure, not a show of force.

New Update: #$PUSA is officially coming to Nasdaq. The Trump brothers are merging their golf company with drone-maker Powerus to chase a $1.1B Pentagon fund created by their father. The President starts the war, bans the competition, and the sons sell the weapons. Corruption in the making.

Eric & Don Jr. are turning the Iran war into a family business. Trump starts war. Trump bans foreign drone rivals (DJI). Sons merge their golf co with Powerus to sell 10k drones/mo to the Pentagon. Their own bank brokers the deal. The ultimate conflict of interest.

Another day, another country being bombed. It’s hard not to see this as a massive distraction to keep the Epstein files buried. The cycle continues. #trumpsteinfiles

@theguardian.com That’s a sharp headline. I like it.

Reminder that Lisa Simpson was born in 2018 (the character is canonically 8 years old in present day). She has only known the Trump era. Bart (always 10) was born in 2016, his baby photos taken with an iPhone 7. Homer, 39, graduated high school around 2005. He's a millennial.

Poetic irony: Trump’s tariffs were just deemed illegal. Now, corporations must be lining up to sue for refunds. This guts the regime's primary strategy - the tariffs weren't just a "tax," they were the revenue source and the leverage they planned to use against the world. Back to square one.

​Just watched RFK Jr. treating denim like it’s high-performance spandex in that new "Rock Out Work Out" video. ​Exercises? Jeans. Sauna? Jeans. Cold plunge? Jeans. Kid Rock? Shorts. ​I have so many questions and none of them are about the public health policy.

Bitcoin is officially in free fall. 📉 Down 27% in the last week and over 40% from its recent highs. People are feeling the burn as the "digital gold" starts looking a lot more like monopoly money.

Any song that triggers a reaction like that from Trump has to be good. Adding it to the queue now.

400k people. One tiny nation. Total European #handball domination. Iceland just made the semifinals of the #EHFEuro2026! But look at the bracket: Iceland: Us Germany: Icelandic coach Croatia: Icelandic coach Denmark: Had an Icelandic coach We aren't just playing the game; we’re exporting it.

Stephen Miller is the architect of this crisis. Under his guidance, chaos isn’t just predictable - it’s the point. A calculated dismantling of the system, one debacle at a time.

Stephen Miller is the architect of the ICE debacle. These failures are symptomatic of his influence - not merely accidents, but predictable outcomes of a strategy designed to maximize chaos.

A mirror across time: Two regimes, one execution.

European leaders don't trust Trump and his regime after the tumble with Greenland. Treaties are being treated like property deeds and allies like adversaries. By trying to "buy" a sovereign territory through economic threats, the U.S. hasn't gained Greenland - it’s only managed to isolate itself.

Why are the Epstein files still critical? Because it's about holding power accountable, ensuring justice for survivors, and preventing future abuse. The vast majority of documents are still locked away, despite legal mandates. Don't let the conversation die. Demand full transparency. #EpsteinFiles

​Germany’s 2026 World Cup boycott debate is heating up. ​DFB official Oke Göttlich says the political threat now is "greater" than during the 1980 Olympics. From Greenland tensions to travel bans, the pressure on FIFA is real. ​Is sport still "apolitical"? #WorldCup2026 apnews.com/article/germ...

A Titanic economy.

if it walks like a Nazi.....

Is this incompetence or malice? Why on earth would the White House alter the image this way?

Just saying.

We should live our lives so that our very existence is fascism’s worst enemy - every action a stand against bigotry, racism, and ignorance.

Trump apparently can’t tell one country from another - unless, of course, “acquiring Iceland” is also on his to-do list and he’s just getting confused.

We can look forward to Trump’s speech in #Davos today - more than an hour PLUS of rambling nonsense will be on the menu, with his usual effort to undermine global stability as much as possible.

Well, he seems genuinely happy with "his" trophy.

I am Greenlandic Uanga kalaaliuvunga

A joke for the history buffs.

We grew up seeing the Soviet Union - and later Russia - as our main threat. But now, Trump and his regime are acting like maniacs, capable of upending the world order in unpredictable ways. Hopefully, responsible folks in the U.S. will step in and bring this madness to an end.

...

How are Americans still fine with the Trump regime? The country that used to lecture everyone about democracy is now flirting with fascism, annexations, and framing Europe as the enemy. Did the U.S. just decide to fast‑forward to the empire‑in‑decline stage?

While we're at it.

Interesting fact. "In 1943, [Knut Hamsun] sent Germany's minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels his Nobel Prize medal as a gift."

Oh, poor thing - someone please relieve her of that dreadful Nobel Prize, it clearly weighs too heavily on her conscience. And hey, while we’re rewriting reality, let’s just hand one to Trump too. Why stop the circus now?

It’s funny—my dog often eats only half her food and saves the rest for later. She’s doing quite well for a 12-year-old, so maybe there’s something to be said for not being too greedy.
