We’re supposed to believe Donald J Trump was masterminding this rescue mission, coming up with the plan, giving orders to platoon leaders, and directing every last detail of the plan? Since Wednesday night? Yeah, right …

These people are plain fucking stupid.

CJ’s collaboration with Franklin Hollis finally coming together 20 years later #WestWingThings

“In most cases” Please explain to us the cases that *wouldn’t* be war crimes, so we can get a good handle on Trump’s 5-D chess and incredible insight into geopolitical affairs

I yearn to return to a time when my wife wasn’t murmuring “Jesus Christ” and “what the fuck” every time the news came on

Given the insane pro-war posts of some of my family today, defending Trump’s indefensible post, there’s a not-insignificant number of MAGA Americans who would cheer a nuclear attack on Iran

Jamal's right: The story here isn't Trump; this is entirely consistent with what everyone's known about him for many years. The story is the complete degradation of a major political party. That said, committing war crimes & violating the Establishment Clause all in a single tweet is impressive.

TRUMP: "I'm gonna fuckin' blow up all the fuckers! I wanna use all the bombs before I die! Helter skelter! Helter skelter! Race war! Race war! Fuck Easter and fuck you, too!" NEWS: "Trump promises to strengthen military in early morning Easter greeting."

I remain continuously puzzled with Centrists who think it’s a major own on the left to point out the candidates they supported from a leftist perspective actually suck because they turned out to not be leftist. “Ha ha ha, joke’s on you, turns out this guy is more like me and he sucks ass.” Okay.

Remember those movies & books from the 60s, where the President went mad and lost his mental faculties, and politicians & the military acted to correct the situation? Why are we living in a time where politicians & the military simply go along with a madman, deranged President?

HE IS RISEN And by that I mean Trump is out of bed and on his toilet

Trump derangement syndrome isn't real. But Trump normalisation syndrome very much is.

Compare this to Trump’s lunatic Easter morning rant about sending bastards to hell and opening the fucking Strait

Not just the other side of the aisle - plenty of Democrats would be outraged, too Today’s GOP is the party of Trump, full stop, end of story

Balint: "If President Biden or President Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel and everyone on the other side of the aisle would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."

Just imagine if Obama or Biden had dropped a “praise be to Allah” … Republicans would be in the streets with torches and pitchforks (I don’t care if Trump is trying to be “edgy” or “ironic” or “humorous” … he’s a fucking lunatic and somebody with some co-equal power has to get him under control)

theocracy headed by a man who can probably count on one hand the number of times he has been inside a church

No money for foreign food aid No money for HUD No money to help the poor with utility bills Cuts to NASA, NIH, FEMA But $10 billion to beautify DC 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lololololol and let me just add, lol

Switched chairs? Harmeet Dhillon said the President had a special dedicated chair at SCOTUS, was that not correct? 🙄

Nice, Gazette, post a fact-free Trump-fluffing screed in your letters section AND THEN PROMOTE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA “Quit calling us left-wing, look, we platform crazy fascist MAGA points of view, too, please buy our paper”

Oh my God, Alina Habba as AG? Funniest shit ever (Note: it would not, in fact, be funny)

I’ve got 34 counts of “decisively” right here, Rich

What “credibility” do these jamokes think he ever had? Have these analysts and traders ever paid attention to a single thing he’s lied about?

Again with the inaugurations Between this and paving over the Rose Garden dude must really hate standing outside

“We can’t afford daycare or Medicare or Medicaid or any of those scams - only the military”

It looks like it was made in a Sims expansion pack.

A country where Flag Officers are dismissed on the whim of a president or a secretary of Defense -- and where it's tolerated by those in a position to stop it -- is a country in decline

Any bets on Congress suddenly realizing it’s not okay for Presidents to just reassign federal expenditures on a whim once a Democrat is back in the White House?

this the same party thatll superglue the constitution to your face the instant you bring up gun control

Wait … the address was “to make the case” for why the war is necessary? Did the Times and I watch the same speech, because that wasn’t my takeaway

TIL there was more than one Stone Age, apparently

And yet more major media normalization of an erratic and internally incoherent speech full of lies.

This is a wildly incomplete and context-free description of … whatever the hell that was

Trump called for a primetime address to the nation on the Iran War and then just repeated all the same tired shit he says every day. But the networks all carried it live so he accomplished that I guess.

“Green, green cash”

What an amazing world we live in where a President can terminate a previous deal to stop Iran from building nukes, and the mere fact no such deal then existed somehow actually *did* stop them from building nukes 🙄

A lot of Trump voters I spoke to during the campaign were convinced the Wrong People were getting free stuff and that Trump would make sure the Right People (them) got it. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Biden strikes again, apparently

wish SCOTUS would examine "a well regulated militia" with the granularity they are debating "domicile"

I mean, good, but it’s still a sign of profound dysfunction if this isn’t 9-0. A justice who will sign off on this is effectively announcing there’s nothing too flagrantly unconstitutional to get their blessing if a Republican president does it.

Don’t forget his efforts as starting tight end for the Iowa Hawkeyes (okay, that’s probably only “best-known” here in Iowa)

Obviously because things only need to be made onerously tough on voters, not the business owners who fund Republican campaigns 🙄

"Here is how the constitution should understand citizenship" says man selling American citizenship for $1 million.

Wonder if Melania picked up any tips from the Cell Block Tango

That one Bucknor called (he has more than one here! I’m talking the 3.13 inch one) … he was signaling strike three before the pitch reached the plate, lol

“No punishment. No investigation” is kind of on-brand for these guys

“Legally questionable” lol Well aren’t you brave with your clear-eyed reporting, there, WaPo

“I get to do it, because I’m President, and I have things to do - you don’t get to do it, because there’s massive fraud happening in my fevered imagination”
