It's no Eiffel Tower, Donald. It's more like the Hiroshima Dome.

Arguably, Obama was the most gobbledy-gook of recent Democrats, who I find universally have gotten the memo about simplifying their language. It's not why they hate us. markolmsted.substack.com/p/why-exactl...

It's like he's getting his life force from the camera trained on him, and whenever he's away from it, he feels it draining. He hates sleep, because he's not on camera and that feels like death.

Patel forgot to make an honorary bottle for Trump. I bet he's pissed. #KashPatel

I wonder if gas prices have to go this high before we have a mass uprising that results in the Mussolini-like ending deserved by this fascist clown.

HISTORY ACCORDING TO TRUMP. (How much do you want to bet if I tweeted this to him he would post it?) #TrumpBallroom

He disappointed because Cole failed. It would have been a glorious way to go out - best ratings ever. All sins forgotten, monuments built. Anything better that going out like his father or via impeachment. He wants to go out a winner. He coulda been a Kennedy. Damn Secret Service.

When considering how to compose his next speech, I think Pete Hegseth might be inspired by a different scene in Pulp Fiction.

I can't help but notice that he's calling it "The Triumphal Arch." Notice what letters you can't spell "Triumphal" without? How much you wanna bet this is his design?

Though a lapsed Catholic, I still won't go full photoshop in a depiction of the orange one in Mount Gethesmane agony. But it is the seminal event in Christ's life that I would happily see the Orange one actual suffer through. An evocation will have to do.

The sign was a big hit at my #Nokings rally.

A poem about the way he's driving us all to the brink.

With the chaos of flying, and the expense of driving, I thank my lucky stars that we have these fabulous bullet trains that crisscross the country at high speed. Thank God this was a no-brainer that red and blue states could agree on decades ago and have continued to pursue and build on since

I'm auditioning for the writing staff of Colbert. Or Kimmel. Or Fallon. Or Oliver.

And you just know not one #ICE agent would have the slightest idea who #CatherineOhara was.

I'm actually shocked that Trump allowed this out. The murder allegations are quite jaw-dropping.

Next time you cook, imagine having to breath in smoke. Every time. We've at least brought relief to Mahmoud's mother, which she finds heavenly. open.substack.com/pub/markolms...

Why is absolutely no one suggesting bringing the border bill originally rejected by Trump for political reasons back up from consideration? Let him declare victory and when we're back in power we can modify some of the objectionable aspects of the bill. #Immigration #minnesota

History doesn't always repeat itself, but it sure as hell rhymes.

@janisian.bsky.social Thrilled that you posted my meme on Facebook -- can you believe I first created it in 2016. A little bummed that you didn't get a version in which I put a credit for myself. So if you repost it here, do use this one. I AM A HUGE FAN and have been forever. THANK YOU.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social Are you still so sure Trump will back down on Greenland?

Waiting for Trump to claim the $50 million reward for himself.

Inquiring minds want to know.

When Caroline Leavitt finds some sort of tortured-beyond-all-imagining defense of Trump's insane reaction to the death of the Reiners, how I wish one of the press corps would have the balls to say: "I have a follow-up. Could you please tell us how much exactly you sold your soul to the devil for?"

Faoud and the work he does is incredible. But he has an extended family, including disabled brother, in dire need of help, especially in the face of the winter cold and rains. gofund.me/ee7e0c18a
