We've all spent a lot of time trying to understand what Trump's appeal to many people is, but I think the simplest—and most likely—explanation is that he's a selfish piece of shit, and that trait appeals to the average person because it's transparent and relateable for them. Maybe people just suck.

Honestly, they might as well be actual lizard people at this point. Who is such a freak that they don't stop and think, "hey, we need plates to eat all this food on"? Worst part is that 2-3 dozen people probably saw this before it got posted and none of them were normal enough to point it out.

Information operations on Russian civilians should have been happening from the start. As far as state action is concerned, that's some of the most bare minimum, low effort shit you can do. Hell, me and a couple buddies were doing troll farming on Russian social media within 2 weeks of Feb. 24th.

The US economy has held up well in spite of Trump's best efforts to destroy it, but I do think that we are much closer to a partial collapse that could spiral than most people are willing to admit/put their name to. There's just too much happening all at once, and eventually the bottom will fall out

MAGA diplomacy is such a joke that we got Don fucking Bacon out here doing the wine mom "would a paid Russian agent act any differently" bit. GOP foreign policy is cooked for centuries at this point.

The Trump administration is such a disgraceful mess that we now have senior diplomats coaching representatives of nations that are openly hostile to American interests on how to best manipulate our president into giving them a sweetheart deal. These assholes don't give a fuck about America.

Democratic messaging about any potential AI bailout should be laying the groundwork for making nationalizing the assets of leeches like Sacks, Thiel, Musk, etc. and deporting/permanently banning them from the US the moderate position.

"A reversal would risk recession. We can't afford to go backwards." Brother, the only thing you're getting from the US government is a lumpy bed in a federal fucking prison.

"Fuck you and your investigation" is the only correct way to respond to the president publicly calling for your execution and I'm glad Gallego has the stones to go there right out of the gate.

*Pointing my camera at a dude who called me a loser for buying Fartcoin with my Cumbucks dividends* "Grok, call this guy a slur."

There's something deeply funny about the Confederacy's strongest soldiers in 2025 being middle aged Asians and Africans who are grifting insecure, fragile white Americans on social media. Truly upholding the stupid legacy of those traitors.

As hateful and evil as American conservatism is, it's genuinely astounding to me that so many of the influencers who've boiled the brains of America's elite the last decade are foreigners. Even the American information economy relies on imports to function.

Sorry guys universe is splitting open starting today

Mamdani doing all this while Reagan is in the cuck chair makes this so,so much sweeter

I AM GOING TO HANG DEMOCRATIC SENATORS FOR TREASON THIS IS SEDITION A random thirty-something socialist from New York City with an aloof art school wife:

Mad King says we can have a little socialism, as a treat.

No words. No notes. This is peak "what the fuck are we even doing here" behavior.

This is an entirely new category of hilarious. They acted like they were getting Ali vs Frazier and they ended up watching their guy get temporarily charmed out of racism that's been lodged in his brain since he was 10.

How your dog looks at you when you're frying up ground beef:

This is going to break so many brains. Lmao The entire country really is held hostage by the toxicity of New York politics.

If laws against "kid gambling" are an obstacle to your business model, your business model should not exist.

It's how the entire industry thinks but usually they aren't stupid enough to say it out loud. In 20 years, gambling addictions will be easily traced back to 7 year olds buying in game currency for predatory loot draws. They view predators as an opportunity because they both wear the same hat.

Peace talks are never going to go anywhere because the Trump administration is loosely captured by people who are either too stupid to see that Russia is the problem or who actively want Russia to win. Europe's best course of action is to go all-in on a Ukrainian victory and temp. abandon the US.

specifically, if I see one more article that doesn’t seem to grasp that Ukrainian FPV drone pilots are almost always on the frontline, in *extreme* danger, and are very regularly killed because their controller signals are easily detectable via electronic warfare methods

My dislike of CNBC is pretty well recorded at this point, but the GOP has spent the last nearly one year doing everything in their power to destroy the US economy and no CNBC reporter has been this aggressive or rude with any of them. The guy doing something to to fight that, though? Fuck him, ig.

Trump's corrupt interests aside, the absolute last thing Russia wants or needs is a Ukrainian state with absolutely nothing to lose. Budanov will literally burn the Kremlin to the ground and the odds Putin lives to see the ashes are pretty slim.

Invading (or seeking to invade) a sovereign country because the president is polling like dog shit on the economy is earth shatteringly stupid and also an objectively true assessment of the situation.

"Ha-ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!"

Certified Small Government Conservative moment when you give up basic liberties like uninhibited freedom of interstate travel so you can ethnically cleanse your country.

This is nothing more than a blueprint to ensuring Ukraine loses the next time Russia invades, and it will invade again. The Trump administration is currently negotiating the complete subjugation of 44 million people.

"It's Idiocracy." My brothers in Christ, you are the idiots you speak of.

There was a time, and not all that long ago, when "Quiet, piggy!" would have effectively ended a presidency. It cannot be overstated how corrosive Trump has been to the fabric of American society, especially so to the nation's elites. It is genuinely shocking how quickly it all fell apart.

Gonna run for Congress in 2028 on a simple platform: -Build houses -Imprison pedophiles -Bully Congress Pic unrelated

Weird how the White House keeps intervening to protect sex traffickers, rapists, and pedophiles. Almost like the guy in charge there has some vested interest in protecting that class of person.

Everything and the reputation of some of the people in this video aside, this feels like a genuine turning point for us. Epstein is a bipartisan issue that has a real chance to bring people together and heal a lot of the division in this country. This is a real, genuine opportunity to start over.

It's good that they're fighting, but it's important to remember that she's not looking at Trump through the same lens as us. When she says "serves foreign countries," she's implying things like US aid to Ukraine, H1B visas, and US foreign aid are bad. She's not talking about the corruption & bribes.

At this point Zelensky should just consider offering Trump a bribe to get a carrier strike group and some F-35s because what the fuck, man? I mean, American military superiority is *literally* up for sale right now to the highest bidder (have some bad news for China hawks RE: this shit, btw!).

Not that it was ever in doubt, but neither us, our children, or their children will be able to escape the repercussions of the global war on terrorism.

The internet is full of "Trump is gay" jokes, most of which I find distasteful, but if it turns out that the real reason he's trying to bury the Epstein files is that he's gay or bi, I'd actually feel a bit sad for the guy. Covering for pedos is monstrous and he doesn't deserve pity, but still.

Oh he really did give someone's son the Nancy Reagan special

There are entire passages in the Bible dedicated to this exact thing being worthy of eternal damnation lol

I don't think the GOP wants to be on the receiving end of an election where white Catholics swing majority Democrat. That's basically their apocalypse, and picking this kind of a fight with the church is probably the best way to make that happen.

Next up on the President's schedule: an enthusiastic and private reading of Lolita by an AI voice clone of Jeff Epstein

I don't think I can come up with a response to this that wouldn't be a TOS violation.

My very obnoxious cousin who shares WWG1WGA/Q posts on Facebook daily in the year of our lord 2025 hasn't posted anything but a couple of Thanksgiving recipes in the last 2 weeks. When pushed on it, she gets quiet. Epstein legitimately has the potential to vaporize their coalition.

Thriller where three women stumble onto a sinister conspiracy in Washington DC but it’s Nancy Mace, Boebert and MTG

Anyway, what better way to heal our nation's deep divides than by bringing down rich and powerful pedophiles in a show of national unity against the evils of man? Let's get that show on the road.

A couple of people have hit on this already, but Trump is responding to Epstein much differently than his other scandals. Everything else he just kind of brushes off or acts indignant, but tonight's Truth storm reeks of fear. Dude is scared out of his mind.

It might be paranoid to suggest Donald Trump and Bill Barr had federal agents murder a political opponent during Trump's first term, if Donald Trump and Bill Barr had not had federal agents murder a political opponent during Trump's first term.

Krugman is a national treasure, man.
