*There’s* the TACO I was waiting for today. A little later than normal. I wonder if his nap time went long today.

Didn’t Trump give Iran another “24 hour deadline” yesterday about something-or-other? Aren’t we due for a TACO lie soon? Or have moved on to just ignoring everything Trump says because we all know it’s always an empty threat and/or lie.

BREAKING NEWS: Goalposts die from exhaustion after their constant movement by the Trump administration.

I guess he’s gotten bored with losing in Iran and wants to pick on a smaller, more defenseless country to make himself feel like a powerfully bully again.

Slightly diminish a book. The Not Particularly Interesting Case of Benjamin Button

So it’s the beginning of the month, which means Trump is likely once again getting his unmentioned, mysterious monthly medical treatment. He usually disappears for a few days (I assume recovering) and then is wired and bizarre when he resurfaces. Let’s see if May follows the same pattern.

Trump has never made anyone a better person; he has only given bad people permission to show how bad they are.

Iran’s offer should be “We’ll give the US everything it wants if they just give us a complete, unredacted copy of the Epstein Files.”

At this point, I wonder what compromising information they have on Mikey. Is he a porn addict? Secretly gay? Is he a pedo like his boss? Because his obsequiousness and obedience goes far beyond just simple spineless toadie.

This is their big play to avoid the Constitutionally-mandated Congressional approval to continue the war? Trump: “War is done. I won.” Congress: “So you’re going to bring home the troops and equipment?” Trump: “No, I’m still going to bomb them more. But it’s not a war.”

For some reason, this morning I have the “Nummy Muffin Coocol Butter” song stuck in my head. I blame @frankconniff.bsky.social for writing such a catchy and deeply stirring song. Thank you, Frank, for making us laugh at love…again. youtu.be/4KIg6tQOwwg?...

What the hell even is the point of this “show”. Jennings is such a smug asshole who lies all the time, the host refuses to call him out on it or acknowledge facts, and half the time it devolves into yelling. Much like the rest of @cnn.com these days, it’s just absolutely pointless and without value

With the various recent threats, everyone is expecting Trump to launch another wave of attacks tomorrow night after markets close, right? I’m sure he thinks he can “shock and awe” Iran into surrender before the markets open on Monday.

Dem leadership refused to back Mamdani. They hate Piker. They trot out an establishment octogenarians and think they’re viable candidates. It’s clear that Dem voters are BEGGING for new ideas, younger voices, and a party that listens to them instead of consultants. But leadership just ignores us.

There is no chance this isn’t being watched closely by this administration to see what they can get away with closer to November.

Going with the “We were on a break” justification for not needing Congress to approve the war, I see.

If I have my days right, tomorrow (May 1st) is when Trump either needs Congressional approval to continue the war in Iran or he needs to stop. I cannot believe either will happen. I wonder what his - and Mike Johnson’s - excuse will be this time for ignoring the Constitution.

Can confirm Wisconsin. Gas went up about $0.50 between Tuesday and Wednesday.

When I say that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov need to be jettisoned out of Congress, it’s because of reasons like this. They don’t care about American citizens or the Constitution, only holding on to power and maintaining the status quo.

We all know this is exactly what will happen with Chuck “They tell me at the gym they hate Trump” Schumer and Hakeem “Impeachment won’t be a priority” Jeffries.

Our son was one of the Eastern National champions. So proud of him and all the hard work he’s done over the years to get here.

So, uh…isn’t there still an issue with the Strait of Hormuz being closed, disrupting oil, fuel, and fertilizer (among many other key resources)? Shouldn’t the president be more focused on that rather than a ballroom that exists only to launder money? Any media outlet going to talk about that? No?

When the next Democratic President goes to tear down all these illegal monuments and/or rip Trump’s name off the side of these buildings, I can’t wait to hear all the Republicans screeching about how you can’t do that without Congressional approval.

As if we needed any more evidence that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is an absolute terrible leader and either cannot or will not meet what is required of him. He - and all the other ineffective and awful leaders - need to be removed from power. It’s the only way the US survives.

If the ballroom actually gets built, I have no doubt that Trump will plan on it being his version of the Great Pyramid, where he will be entombed after he dies.

My “I am not a rapist” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

“I don’t think it should lost on anyone that Thing A happened the same week we learned that totally unrelated Thing B happened.”

Reminder: this shit is going to get crazier and crazier until November. And I don’t even want to imagine what it will be like come the 2028 election.

It amazes me that there has been three supposed assassination attempts (or false flags, if you are of that mindset) on a president and the press and general populace consider it nothing of particular note. A quick mention on the evening news and then *poof* it disappears from conversation.

Iran is a terrible regime and has done a lot terrible, terrible things. But credit where credit is due: they are kicking ass at trolling Trump these days.

Well thanks @americanair.bsky.social. Our 9:50am flight has now been delayed until 5:00pm. Thanks for screwing us over while we’re trying to our son to his national gymnastics competition.

This message of peace brought to you by the “Hey, you’re all going to die” lady.

This is the energy we need to push the weak Dem leaders who care more about opinion polls and consultant PowerPoint presentation than what their voters want.

I’n sure this is because JD Vance is such an amazing negotiator that he got a peace deal done in like 15 minutes. It definitely isn’t because the talks were always a sham and the US and Israel were always going to start up the war again.

God. In a work meeting about using AI here and the absolute gargling of AI’s balls is ridiculous. “AI is amazing and will revolutionize everything and there is no downside and it won’t replace jobs, just boring tasks!” It is actively disgusting. I wish I was closer to retirement.

And here’s how the Dems will lose 2028: by once again listening to the consultant class instead of voters. 2026 will be a Blue Tsunami and Dem leadership will wrongly believe it’s because people like them and their policies, not that people are just voting against Trump. And they will fuck up 2028.

I’m shocked, I say…SHOCKED!

What’s the over/under on when Netanyahu launches another round of war crimes in Lebanon or Iran to make sure any peace deal is stopped and his corruption trial stays on hold? Like noon Eastern time?

So Iran agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz for everyone but themselves? Now I’m not saying that I don’t believe the pathological liar who has near weekly tried to manipulate the markets by posting lies…no, wait…that is EXACTLY what I’m saying.

Jared Golden (Maine) was the lone Democrat to oppose it. And Warren Davidson (Ohio) abstained by voting “present”. Isn’t it the job of House leadership to whip the votes they need…assuming they actually want a vote to pass. 🤔

@schumer.senate.gov is eagerly and happily funding genocide. He needs to not just be removed as senate leader, but he needs to be removed from office, too. @democrats.senate.gov

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty. "People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

“The Pope doesn’t understand theology” is a bold take for a non-Catholic, but for a (supposed) Catholic? Insane. Vance is just such a pathetic loser in life.

At this point, Trump might as well be pushing for countries to go back to steam locomotives and horse-drawn carriages.

I expect we’re going to see a lot of this in 2028: newly anti-Trump Republicans running as Democrats to try to sneak in because of the “blue wave”. And I’m also sure that Democratic leadership is going to be fine with it because “it’ll bring in moderate Republican voters!”

And I’m willing to bet that Trump and/or the White House did not even tip her.

Okay, so the most corrupt administration in history says they are blockading the Strait of Hormuz (and others) starting at 10am Eastern time today. I wonder when the TACO will come this week (Tuesday?) and how much insider trading we’ll see that day just before the announcement.
