A war by any other name still smells as putrid. - Shakespeare, 2026

The scope of the grift is actually stunning in its audacity and criminality.

I never knew dementia was spelled dental.

It’s just his Resting Sleep Face, he’s not really asleep 🤪

Here we go again!

The hill I’m dying on: The Marco memes are the best.

It's depressing to know that the best years of your life were likely in the 2010s and we'll all be looking back in a decade or two wondering how this country could be so stupid to throw it all away. We can't say they weren't warned because they were. Unfortunately, people only learn from disaster.

Even money bet that he tries to rename it the "Trump-Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool." And if he does it, I guarantee the water inside will be at least 30% pee by the end of the month.

I’ll never understand these kind of headlines. What do they think ‘ceasefire’ means? It’s literally there in the word itself. Similarly, how can Congress be so stupid? Accepting claims it’s not a war by definition of using different words, that its over coz there’s a new operation name, a pause etc

Options: 1) today is THE day 2) he shat himself upon greeting everyone and they cleared everyone out 3) in his opening remarks he threatened to invade them too

i post this every year because men soaking in toxic masculinity are all “why can’t we get women” and Tom Holland dances in drag and lands one of the hottest women on the planet, maybe there’s a lesson here guys

Internet rules dictate that whenever you see the Tom Holland Umbrella video, you have to share it. I'm just following the rules.

Because getting rid of sanitation standards is such a wise move when it comes to cruise ships 🤦‍♀️

I was just watching the Colbert interview with Obama about his Library, and I was overwhelmed with a compare and contrast. I realised how much I was smiling, how lifted I felt listening to the conversation. And then the mockup Oval Office space as it was - designed that not detract from the 1/

People not stopping Trump is his superpower.

Not "like pirates" - you ARE pirates. And it's not a profitable business, it's just crime. Admitting to international crimes in public is a better examination of his cognitive decline than the test with the camel and the rhino on it. If Trump was of sound mind, would he keep doing this?

Shouldn’t they indict McDonalds, KFC and Burger King, because they’re bigger threat to his life than James Comey.

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. 1/

"I dissent because Congress elected otherwise. I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent."

I can never ‘like’ this kind of news, but I think that it’s important to share it so people are fully aware of the implications, and can take action accordingly when it’s time to vote.

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

Two attempts (Trump just wasn’t at the property at the time of the second)

I think it hilarious that they’re charging Allen with attempted assassination of Trump seeing he’s not mentioned by name in the manifesto. That means they’re going to have to prove that the “pedophile, rapist and traitor” is Trump 😂

FYI: Congress can grant a person limited immunity for testimony. A presidential pardon is not needed. The immunity is not absolute, though. It doesn't cover perjury. If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, it's because he's trying to keep her quiet. There's no other reason to pardon her.

Donny and Tricky Dicky and their unsolicited denials ...

A fact that should be heavily analysed: Trump, who has avoided 5 out of 5 WHCD events during his presidency, decided to attend the 6th, at a time when journalists were going to be honoured for reporting on the Epstein birthday card that Trump wrote. The gun kerfuffle is just a coincidence, right?

The winning metaphor is that the White House Correspondents Association hired a magician instead of a comedian. Sleight of hand over speaking truth to power.

Trust me, any elderly person who tries to go down to the floor does it very slowly with assistance, they don’t just drop to the floor like that. Pull the other one “sir”.

The little president who cried wolf has earned every bit of doubt many times over.

I would say that the first effect of this will be American media being even more obsequious with Trump—as they now feel like they've been "in the shit" with him—but the reality is that it would not be possible for the DC media class to be any more deferential to Trump than it is.

Without a deep dive, just hearing the news, my initial thoughts - early reports said he didn’t plan on staying at the event long, his popularity has dropped to the lowest ever & the Butler event gained him sympathy, setting a precedent, & this provides justification for his ballroom.

Comedian Michelle Wolf at 2018 WHCD bard resonates more now: "I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you...He's helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster, and now you're profiting off of him"

Land of the free?

Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.

The House Oversight Committee will set up corruption investigation hearings with clawback provisions. Let that be your fuel to get out the largest midterm election in our history.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump. The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.
