well that's just sad

"I have a very glad feeling about this... " #DitchMcConnell

Yes this is racist, but mostly it's just childish and stupid. What is WRONG with these people?

Remember when Trump went to Versailles to sign that paper saying the "military operation" with Iran was over? Good times.

Totally unacceptable. The amount of damage Trump has done to this country is staggering. It's hard to imagine we will ever repair our relationships with Europe. MAGA: You're a bunch of crybabies throwing a whiny tantrum. You're too stupid to know how much you depend on the things he is breaking.

"It's over because I say it's over. We're at war because I say we're at war. What the hell is a Constitution? I'm the King, dammit. It's called democracy, look it up." Don't ever forgive the people who did this, including the 70+ million who voted for it. You people have lost your minds.

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

One of the most disappointing things about today's Democratic Party is they fail to see the problem is systemic. It's not just Trump. If we don't reform the Pardon Power, the rule of law is dead in America. Trump taught us this lesson, but it is not just about Trump. Is anyone talking about this?

What about 12-year term limits for both Senators and Representatives? A 2-term limit, or a 6-term limit, to get politicians out of Washington before they are legally dead, utterly owned by the system, or otherwise incapacitated. What do you think that would poll among the public? 90%?

I am calling for a BAN on all MEN running for office in the Democratic Party until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

You might as well hang the phrase "wasted opportunity" over the entire 30 years from 1994-2026. If you know anything about football, you understand the USMNT is hardly any closer to the top teams than we were when the US first hosted the World Cup. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I was FURIOUS when Christian "MAGA Mullet" Pulisic did the Trump Dance at a corner flag. If you want to ally yourself with America's "shut up and dribble" crowd, you better expect blowback when you won't shut up and dribble. In any case, as expected, the boy didn't show when it mattered.

The victorious Belgian players have posted a whole series of videos mocking the Trump Dance, which Christian Pulisic once performed at the corner flag after scoring a goal. This is how you become hated and despised.

I know most Americans don't care about soccer, but Trump's corrupt intervention is the single worst thing that has ever happened to the sport of soccer in this country. It cast moral disgrace over the whole team, and motivated all of Europe to celebrate Belgium's revenge. For what, Donald?

In retrospect, American soccer fans will wonder why NO ONE on the USMNT spoke up about Trump's corrupt intervention on Balogun, who was raised in London and almost certainly felt acutely uncomfortable being the center of a global scandal as our dictator's favorite birthright citizenship case. ETTD

Americans should remember: Trump tried to intervene in the 2019 World Cup too; he picked a fight with the team on the eve of the tournament. The reason it didn't work is because Megan Rapinoe accepted his challenge and threw it back in his face. She would go on to score the winner in the final.

They are deliberately wrecking this country. Why would anyone do this?

When did we become a country that just completely sucks? Did I miss the moment when the USA became the toxic uncle everyone backs away from at the holiday party? Is this just who we are now?

I will never again vote for Gavin Newsom. If he wants to alienate California Democrats to suck up to MAGA America, his stock is going to sink like Target. Adios, empty suit.

OK I give up

I'm beginning to wonder how American Jews (my family is Jewish) will find their way back to being an uncontroversial community in this country after both the left wing and the right wing have turned their antisemitism up to 11 to use Jews as scapegoats in their own sectarian squabbles.

The unmistakeable accusation of Education Secretary Linda McMahon's attack on Harvard is the university is letting Muslim terrorists into the country specifically to attack Israel. That the lives of American Jews are being used as human shields in a neo-Nazi attack on higher education is so awful.

What is happening under this Trump administration is so unspeakably ugly that if it continues much longer I would almost express the hope that I might die before I have to sit through much more of it. This is so incomprehensible and awful.

I feel like I'm in shock. As an American, I feel like we are personally under attack. I have no idea why a US Secretary of Education would blast Harvard like that, and no idea why Neri Oxman's husband Bill Ackman is apparently content to be quoted in a letter blasting Harvard like that. Unreal.

I don't understand what is happening anymore. I feel like I'm in shock. The level of searing hatred toward Harvard University coming from the Trump administration - what the hell is this about?

Much of it has simply been a chipping away of our fanciful image of who we were. Trump has certainly coarsened the discourse and normalized all sorts of depravity and cruelty. But we were always ready for this as a people. The soil was fertile, and Trump just planted the seeds.

Almost everything about our politics and public life since Trump descended that escalator has been incredibly stupid. We will never quite hold our heads high again as Americans, and we will always cringe thinking about this awful stupid decade.

This is increasingly what we hear on college campuses especially when the faculty advance their careers with “scholarship” that is often little more than grievance peddling and idle preening from people who live in protected bubbles of bourgeois privilege.

When are we going to talk about how arrogant, unproductive, and obscurantist the campus left has become?

Breaking: Pete Hegseth used Signal more extensively for official Pentagon business than previously disclosed, engaging in at least a dozen separate chats

This is completely false—as a matter of constitutional text, history, case law, and ordinary common sense. Miller is out to destroy our republic.

This is a very scary time in America, and I am still stunned that we wandered into this nightmare at 4% unemployment, 3% growth, 2.9% inflation, and a booming stock market. Yes, this country has serious problem that those stats don't touch, but there is no reason for this to be happening.

Does anyone doubt Donald Trump would start throwing Democrats into concentration camps if he could get away with it? We will not descend into Nazi Germany, but it won't be because Trump is better than Hitler. I don't say this lightly: In his heart, Trump is at Hitler levels of evil right now.

This is exactly right: The United States is currently under attack. A cabal of right-wing billionaires is trying to dismantle the system of services the rest of us need to survive. We are under attack.

Donald Trump is the nastiest and most violently immoral human being this nation has ever produced. I don't see how I will ever again respect or trust the people who voted for this man.

His dementia is so far advanced that he comprehends little of the context around him (he really doesn't know why Carney is coming to the US?), and he keeps circling back to these little narratives he loves, like everyone supplicating to him. His brain is gone. He's declining rapidly.

Trump has dementia, and his mind fixates on weird details that he repeats over and over. Like how many dolls you can buy for your children. He loves this story about SHARK BITES at Alcatraz. He loves the idea of feeding his enemies to the sharks. Watch for him to tell the shark bite story again.

The United States government has turned into a dictatorship of one of our oldest and nastiest senior citizens who is treating his 2nd term like a snuff film fantasy against a country he hates. He hates this country. We have never had a President who actually hates the USA.

lmao he really watched Escape from Alcatraz with Jon Voigt over the weekend and the two dumb granddads got to talking and this is what they came up with

You can tell by the way Trump says of Alcatraz "it's a museum, believe it or not," that he only very recently learned - possibly only after he'd opened his dumb fat mouth - that Alcatraz is run as a tourist site by the National Park Service.

this man's brain is totally gone, like a bowl of cold oatmeal

@mjtoma.bsky.social gives Elon Musk what he deserves newrepublic.com/article/1947...

Let's have a daily reminder: The President of the United States is still refusing to comply with a unanimous Supreme Court order to return Abrego Garcia. The legal system, as usual, is powerless to hold the most powerful men in America to account. There is no rule of law in America anymore.

Donald Trump didn't have a ground game; Elon Musk bought him one. Musk bribed voters with $1million prizes for turning up at events where their personal information could be harvested. Musk bought himself a campaign - and he bought himself the American Presidency. That's it. That's the story.

Something amazing happened over the past 10 years where a BILLION dollars went from seeming like an impossibly large pile of money to...not very much money at all. You only have $1 billion? Doesn't Elon have, like, 300 hundred of those? The disparity is so absurd we can't get our heads around it.

The lesson of Luigi Mangione is that as ordinary people despair of their ability to use political power to constrain the billionaires destroying our lives and our families, they will turn to violence - the bullet > the ballot. We will enter a new age of assassination, like the industrial era.

The problem is runaway wealth accumulation. A few billionaires own all the media, the online platforms - and the politicians. This wealth accumulation is now so extreme it overwhelms the very possibility of political equality in democracy. It's almost not worth talking about anything else.

In political analysis, please don't use the word liberalism if what you mean is capitalism. This is a piece of nonsense that has been passed down from America's college campuses, where the standard of thinking is in alarming decline.
