One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

Good, good stuff.

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Trump has no loyalty, no strategy, only ego and greed. If Iran offered him the right to build a casino on Kharg Island, he’d jump at it and happily cater the opening of Iran’s first nuclear warhead factory.

BREAKING: DOJ investigating Iran for Mortgage Fraud.

“In the midst of Vietnam, Lyndon B Johnson angrily and famously declared: ‘I’m not going down in history as the first American President to lose a war’. But he did. And yesterday Donald Trump became the second to also lose one.”

It is impossible to overstate the damage Trump has done, not just to America’s moral standing in the world, but to our ability to function on the global stage. We are rapidly becoming a pariah, with the idiocy in Iran serving both as catalyst for, and confirmation of, that fact.

“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” www.cnbc.com/2026/04/08/s...

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.

Either (1) a humiliating defeat, leaving America in a weaker geopolitical position and Iran a stronger one, or (2) a brief pause, as incompatible narratives and demands lead to more shooting. No matter what, it’s one of the stupidest, most unnecessary, most harmful US foreign policy choices ever.

there wasn't a lot left to ruin but my brain is currently fully broken that people with power let a man hold the entire world hostage for like 9 hours with an existential threat. insane country. broken.

And he’s now so desperate to get out of the coffin he built himself that he’s likely to give the Iranians things he doesn’t have authority to give them — like a level of continuing control over the Straits. No other country has given him authority to negotiate these or any other terms.

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

We’lll see, but it would be just like these fucking lunatics to create something like this as an exit, without the Iranians being involved at all.

I’m so fucking embarrassed to be from the United States with this insane freak in charge.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Forcing the Artemis crew to speak with Donald Trump was part of a NASA training exercise to prepare future astronauts for encounters with less intelligent life forms.

Trump is responsible for the single largest fuck-up in the history of modern geopolitics.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

I mean seriously. What the fuck is wrong with these people? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…

Endorsed.

If this is real. If his thumbs actually typed what is below... Citizens. Senators. Cabinet. The President of the United States is out of control. He is beyond reason or amelioration. We might really, really, really, I'm trying not to shout or capitalize here, really want to address this.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Madness. The war crimes, the deranged profanity, the casual Islamophobia. He has no idea how to solve the problem he created and he’s going to spin out about it until he nukes Tehran. He needs to removed and frankly, if he were any other world leader, we’d understand he needs to hang for his crimes

This country made a catastrophic mistake by reelecting this execrable man, but it need not compound the catastrophe by letting him continue to drag us all into the hell that is his broken mind -- and that's where this is going.

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant. But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.

Hegseth just fired the Army Chief Gen Randy George. Immediately. Gen George the most competent and experienced combat leaders I have ever encountered. Courage. Integrity. Takes care of soldiers. A government of gangsters.

Well, yes, he's a coward. But he's also in the middle of reconstituting this nation's military as a force whose loyalty runs, not to the Constitution and all Americans, but . . . to Donald Trump.

It's scary to have a President this divorced from reality.

What in the actual fuck was that

the president of the United States is a madman seriously damaging the entire world

The rest of the world is either eulogizing us or laughing at us.

“Pyrrhic loss.” Perfect.

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

i saw the most beautiful thing the other day

"We will never forgive you motherfuckers for what you're doing right now."

The crooks have taken over the justice system and now they’re just straight-up paying themselves with our money.

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

Candy is being crushed at heretofore unseen levels.

ICE guy taking down another ICE guy after noticing that, without a mask, the other ICE guy's skin is a touch off-white.

Meaning, they lost, fucked the global economy, and have to try to put the world economy back together again.

Absolutely required reading.

“High-level training.” Brown people? Shoot. White people in the way? Shoot white people, then shoot brown people.

He wants to live in the sewer. Beneath the pathological, broken ego, he knows that’s where he belongs.

Well, this is cool. This is not a frivolous argument, given that the pardon applies to offenses “related to events that occurred at or near the Capitol on January 6.” The allegations themselves establish that this guy’s conduct was “related to” the events on January 6. Nice work, guys.
