the more you learn about the antebellum south the more you transform into this every plantation owner should have been put to death

Also it severely incentivizes abusers to kill their victims because if the penalty is death already might as well remove the witness since the punishment can’t get any worse.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

The impulse is to welcome and respect people like him seeing the light, but I can’t get over how little critical thinking and effort it would’ve taken to come to this realization in October 2024.

For the past year DHS has done nothing but oppress the homeland and made us less secure. I say keep it shut down until the Nazis are no longer in power.

I hope the finance bro that told a newspaper he voted for Trump so he could talk like this again is proud of himself.

We’re going to have to take this money back from the people we gave it to for this. No, in fact you don’t get to profit off of the Nazis making concentration camps. Sorry, not sorry.

This is cartoonish. Like, I literally saw this in a cartoon being done by the most over the top evil villains in the whole show. I don’t think there’s a better way to teach children you hate them. Hell is too good for these people.

“I’m going to seize control of elections even if Congress blocks me” is comically authoritarian and should result in his immediate removal from office. Yes, he’s deranged, but what’s even more deranged is how we’ve apparently all decided to acquiesce to a dictator because it’s Trump being Trump.

Very funny (derogatory) at the suggestion that Trump is nose deep in a dusty law manual from 200 years ago looking for some kind of justification for Voter ID that nobody discovered yet.

It’s because he posted it.

This is what a 12 year old would do, I’m certain of it.

Musk et. al deserve the death penalty for this. And just because the internet thinks the worst of everyone, I of course mean after a properly adjudicated court case resulting in a jury conviction. However, I will always think capital punishment is the most appropriate sentence no matter what.

Joe Biden was never this bad on his worst days and this is still pretty good for Trump. Guess which one was deemed unfit for office?

This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)

Nothing I know about RFK Jr. convinces me that he doesn’t still do this.

Just a reminder that the Trump admin calls immigrants who’ve fallen into drug addiction “the worst of the worst” criminals, no matter how long ago their addiction problems.

Yes, he’s never had to explain his views to a serious audience that disagrees with him. He doesn’t know how to talk about his beliefs without a series of degenerate memes about how “based” it is to be racist. These are the most pathetic people in the country and deserve nothing but contempt.

Just in case anyone is confused, prices don’t drop anymore because costs are cheaper. Sure, it’s cheaper if corporations can just dump pollution wherever they want. But you’re a fool if you think they will lower prices because of it. The only thing that moves costs down anymore is lack of demand.

So are people going to jail or are Constitutional violations only going to be reasons for finger waving, stern condemnations to behave better?

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

There must be a dozen fireable offenses listed in this piece: *Noem firing civil servants without cause *Her boyfriend using govt resources to boost her profile, punishing officials who would not give him a gun *Massive waste on ads, planes, delayed contracts, pushing favored firms

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot? What is his title? What is his job? What is his official position in the US government? If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

Under no circumstances should Donald Trump, the racist pedophile rapist dictator wannabe, be allowed to install a fourth sycophant on our highest court. Keep the seat open indefinitely. Don’t listen to a single complaint from the GOP because they don’t deserve to get what they want ever again.

Noem’s awful leadership led to the murder of several innocent civilians but this so called “progressive” feels the need to defend her from name calling that probably hasn’t ever been used outside of social media.

Rich people think they live in a higher tier of society full of better and more brilliant people, but it’s actually just the same society except the people have more money to waste and lose. So much of what they do is just wealth-induced hallucination

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

AG Keith Ellison: "The surge is contributing to violent crime. Two of the three homicides committed in Minneapolis in 2026 have come at the hands of federal immigration agents."

Call me old fashioned but I think even if you truly do accidentally kill someone with a gun, you should still go to prison. People that careless around human life don’t belong in society.

They’re dead because you and your party sent a death squad after them and their neighbors, idiot

There is zero reason for the DOJ to act like this about criminal activity except for what we all know is their justification. Donald Trump was a part of Epstein’s illegal activities and they are protecting him. Nobody else in the world has that kind of power right now. It’s all Trump.

Me, gritting my teeth so hard I fear they might shatter: “Welcome…to…the Resistance…”

Nobody should allow themselves to think Republicans care about the victims of their policies. It’s disgusting that Johnson would try and use the people he helped murder by supporting Trump as an attack against Democrats. He’s trying to wipe the blood off his hands by accusing the victims.

What they mean is they want to limit and severely reduce the number of places that accept EBT cards.

Johnson: “No I mean…uh…you know, people breaking the law and like uh parking in the street. OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE! Surely you don’t agree to the worst possible framing I can think of right?” Ellison: “Yeah, well I support the Constitution. Not sure what you’re on but that’s not in there, so no.”

Money. The answer is money. Pay for it and you’ll get it. This isn’t hard. The GOP’s problem is they only want to spend money on rich people and that’s not how a government is supposed to work.

Yeah but they are. Like that’s their whole deal.

Does this moron really think we’re trying to protect the beer by showing ID?

And now I’m trying to imagine the response if they had shot down a plane. Would they lie and start a war with Mexico over it? Would Trump have to say the n-word at the State of the Union to get the media to talk about something else? Would ICE deport the families of victims? All of the above?

It truly is a government of the worst people in the country.

Being named champion of eating at McDonalds would be less embarrassing than this.

The next Democratic Congress needs to haul in the Grim Reaper and demand answers about how he decides which celebrities to take from us.

Me to Gallup now:

Guys. It’s literally HER job to prosecute these people. A member of Congress doesn’t have any crime fighting responsibilities. They craft law and conduct hearings. IT’S LITERALLY NOT THEIR JOBS.

Nobody in this administration deserves any respect that belongs to their office. No more deference. No more benefit of the doubt. Everyone who works for Trump is a traitor dedicated to the destruction of American democracy and acting like the importance of their jobs will make them behave is dumb.

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

This says more about how worthless most corporate busywork is rather than how impressive AI models are.
