Sure there were fireworks but no confetti cannon or balloon drop?

When former Trump appointees actually did their job without obvious corruption and bias he thinks of them as Democrats.

The beautiful thing about claiming the Tom Homan sting was the “Joe Biden FBI” and therefore was fine to bury and cover up is it was Trump’s Republican FBI director.

Tom Homan probably really liked that no tax on tips promise.

So are Donald and Elon working on a new mass death collab?

“Good sport” has never ever described Trump.

Trump could shoot a guy on 5th Avenue and NYT would call it “challenging norms.”

lol www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Rumors aren't facts. But last fall the Finance/DC corridor was awash in chatter that bribes and cash payments were flying fast and furious. Given the nature of this crew, essentially zero chance Homan was alone in this.

Will anyone call it a “prudent deal” today?

There's huge news today-- Trump demanding his AG prosecute his enemies in public, Holman's possible bribe, allies recognizing Palestinian state-- and the WaPo and WSJ are currently leading with the memorial service for someone the WH is deliberately and carefully making into a martyr.

Something tells me Kristin Chenoweth’s Charlie will be much better represented in clips today than Jack Posobiec’s.

Tom Homan's envelope is light this week, T.

I wonder what Lee Greenwood will sing at the memorial

Were any Republicans on the Sunday shows asked about Tom Homan’s bag of cash?

Will you say anything that sounds good in the moment and not mean it at all?

But by all means, keep treating it as the default communications platform elected Democrats and political pundits.

Other than, you know, handing him a 16 million dollar shake down.

So when did Tom Homan find out that particular bag of money was from the FBI anyway?

If Trump's Pam Bondi post yesterday was supposed to be a DM it raises the possibility that all his presidential communication is in the form of shitpost.

Fires aren't new, but something about this Reichstag one is.

Did...did Disney buy the NYT overnight?

The thing that's most striking about this is, in terms of podcasting, there's so many more doing pretty much the same thing. They're all children of Rush. I kind of wonder how many of the college kids he recruited even watched the podcasts and how many just liked being in that club of contrarians.

They are going to make so much content today.

Do Democrats responding to the latest Trump outrage on X know what message they are sending?

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

The reason they did the sting on Homan was because another person they were investigating for corruption let it slip that Homan was taking bribes. It wasn't the deep state, it was a suspected criminal who was also knee deep in bribery.

Bet in this mournsploitation time someone is going to propose a Charlie Kirk monument bigger than the Statue of Liberty. Probably Trump. Maybe Steve Bannon can fundraiser for it like he did the wall.

This feels like the inciting incident in a bittersweet Alexander Payne movie.

We’ve kind of moved past the irony, but just imagining the kind of hagiography that will go out to millions unchallenged tomorrow I’m thinking back to suggesting it’s acceptable for 9 year olds to die so that America can continue to have more guns than people and the death count that goes with that.

I wonder how many of the pronoun phobes will refer to Kirk’s murderer as “they” tomorrow.

I’d like to see perceptions of “out of control crime” polled on those that do and those that don’t watch local TV news.

The media that is hesitant to provide a full picture of Charlie Kirk’s beliefs and teachings are complicit in creating a sanitized martyr that will be used against them without mercy.

I guess Trump already proved that for half of this country being a racist doesn’t disqualify you from being considered a good person, it cements you are a good person.

“Why aren’t you arresting my political enemies faster?” is a hell of a thing to ask as another story about excusing your political allies drops.

Homan is just going to deny the story until people stop asking, like every other administration criminal, right?

Think we'll ever find out who is sending their own security because the Secret Service and Super Bowl level security isn't enough?

Strong Alina Habba vibes here

Shot/chaser

I knew.

lol. Emil Bove intervened. The guy that Senate Republicans just confirmed for a lifetime position on the federal bench. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

So did Homan just keep the 50k like the Russian leased podcasters kept theirs?

Trump says Afghanistan must give "Bagram Airbase back to those that built it." Interesting, considering who built it.

This is probably helpful for anyone seeking dismissal of criminal charges as a vindictive prosecution.

“you know, Paul Wellstone, you see that they have no integrity, they have no couth, no nothing, they turn it into a fundraiser.”

Here’s Rush Limbaugh still raging about the political nature of the Wellstone memorial years later.

Just read this old Al Franken piece on the Republicans being outraged by political funerals having political rhetoric for no reason in particular.

Trying to imagine Trump’s mood after having to sit and listen to a dozen or so people talk about how great someone who isn’t him was.

The only question is how long it takes for Homan to be back on TV and not be asked about his bribe taking.

Each speaker is going to try to top the last and Trump will try to top them all.
