Fox Corporation is buying Roku for $22 billion. Roku sits in more than 100 million global streaming households. Fox owns Fox News, Tubi, and NFL and MLB broadcast rights. Fox now controls the hardware in your living room, the platform you use to access it, and your viewing data. Follow the money.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was perfectly fine before the orange felon wasted upwards of $17M to fuck it up it and pretend to fix. Now aside from green algae and peeling blue paint, dead animals are being seen in the mix. This wasn’t a renovation, it was sabotage.

If we have a history after this madness.

The Strait of Hormuz is closed again. Trump can’t even surrender correctly.

Trump is taking a big dump on JD right now and Vance can't do a thing about it. If he resists, Trump will destroy his electability. If he complies, Trump will destroy his electability. Fun, huh?

Trump and Iran: Stupid is as stupid does

Trump wants to increase the US military budget by ~$500B/yr, even though the current one is bigger than the next 7 countries combined. That's roughly enough $$$ to plug the looming Social Security shortfall. Or just cut a bunch of tax breaks for the rich. Behold the possibilities...

Trump spent gazillions of taxpayer dollars on this endeavor, only to end up fighting for a return to the status quo. So dumb.

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

Some people have it Some people don’t … The Barack Obama Presidential Center Reflecting Pond

Ramirez: He’s literally siccing the troops on a microscopic organism. He is sending the National Guard to the Reflecting Pool to arrest people who touch the water. It’s absurd. And also, he’s killing the baby ducklings.

Trump takes accountability for nothing. He lies repeatedly to place blame on others. I hate him more than I have ever hated anyone. How about you?

Seattle isn’t dying. It’s thriving. That’s not what right wingers want us to believe though. They want us scared and anxious so that rather than solve the problems we do have, we instead hand them power so they break everything, just as they are in DC. We’re not going to do that.
