We are about to go to war w/ Iran; millions of Americans can no longer afford healthcare-again; ICE just left a blind refuge roadside to die; you need gold bars to buy steak….But the president is back at it picking out tiles and moldings.

I’m so glad I’m a Caps fan. I can happily cheer for Tom Wilson. I’m not sure I can ever cheer for one of the Team USA players who allowed themselves to be shills for Trump.

Trump’s State of the Union—it was like an Oprah show. Medals for you, medals for you, everyone gets a Trump account, everyone gets a toaster.

Trump is talking about God. There is a very real chance lightning will strike the building.

If I hadn’t lost all respect for our men!s hockey team, I just did. You guys make Kash Patel look good

5 Team USA players declined Trump invite Jake Guentzel of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Colorado Avalanche forward Brock Nelson, Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor, Dallas Stars goalie Jake Oettinger and Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jackson LaCombe www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I’m so proud of Team USA Women’s hockey. www.newsweek.com/state-union-...

Heh Tiny Tot, you do realize you’re not on Team USA, you didn’t play in the Olympics, you didn’t win gold , you can barely skate, you’re a joke, a glom, a strap hanger. Talk about stolen glory.

Why was Patel there? Ask Guerin GM of Team USA USA hockey just lost this gu’s support You think the average hockey fan in MN, MA or WI is a Trumper? Burn your own house down

Dear NHL If you want to lose more than half your fan base….keep allowing Kash Patel and other Trump officials in to your locker rooms and stadiums. #nhl #hockey

Detroit fans, I hope you let the team know how happy you are Dylan Larkin was partying with Kash Patel after the win.

Hellebuyck was incredible. No one can ever say he doesn’t deliver in big games. I am speechless how good he is.

Johnny Hockey smiled on Team USA Today.

I really wish Marchand wasn’t such a cheap player.

This is an amazing game. Both teams are playing at a level above. Privilege to watch it.

I want to be a weather man. We might get an inch, we might get two feet. Who the f knows. I’m not saying it’s easy. I’m saying I wish I could tell my clients that. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

The Indiana Beers. Just wrong. The end of “da Beers” #chicago #nfl @barstoolsport.bsky.social @nflbluesky.bsky.social @theathletic.com

News flash: a friend did a search, there are zero mentions of me in the Epstein files. Not that I was worried, I’m just not a member of the global elite. Which is both uplifting and deflating on some level.

A question for all us law geeks: 1. SCT says Pres has total immunity for core functions; 2. Now says Pres cannot tariff. If Pres defies the SCT, is it an exercise of a core function and he has immunity? Meaning they gave him the power to ignore them without consequence? #law @lawfaremedia.org

Quite a contrast: Eileen Gu: Lives in US, American dad; paid millions by China to ski for it. Liu: Dad criticized China, came to US as refugee. She and dad targeted by Chinese spies. Won gold. Inspiring effort. Liu should carry the US flag at the closing. www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

It’s Mai Tai Friday!

Now the next Admin will need to replace the sheets and toilets, fumigate the place AND repaint the plane

More Fake News! Everyone knows Trump ended this war on day 1! Laughter. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

If Alito doesn’t resign, or if a new Justice isn’t confirmed before the midterms, and D’s take the Senate, the new majority leader should refuse to move a nomination “ahead of a Pres election” (“the McConnell rule”). Admittedly a lot of ifs but … www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Colbert’s Talarico-FCC segment was pure genius. Not only biting commentary but so funny I spit wine out my nose. Thankfully a white. Well played. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

This just says it all. Please feel free to share your personal favorites. www.themirror.com/news/politic...

Republican Rep. Buddy Carter(running for Senate in Georgia): “But you know, this is a team game.” No. This is no “game.” You’re a member of Congress; you represent your constituents. There are no “teams.” You really should take a civics class. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

This is a must read: “I have a challenge to all the patriots out there who fly “Don’t Tread on Me” flags and talk about upholding the Constitution…You’ve spent your entire lives talking about resisting tyranny. Now it is happening right before your eyes.” thehill.com/opinion/civi...

More from the gang that can’t shoot straight. They closed a major regional airport because of a kid’s party balloon. They claimed it was a drug cartel drone.

Washington County MD’s county commissioners voted to support an ICE detention warehouse. If you own a business in WC, I will never do business with you. If you own a home there, its value just plummeted. You are now pariahs.

Jay-Z has 25 Grammys and 89 nominations. 3 Emmys and a Tony nomination. He’s sold over 140 MM records. He is a cultural icon. Hillbilly-vanili, you cant even lip synch. You haven’t been relevant for decades. You really should lay off the crack. Fries your brain.

Trump: “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” Next he’ll announce they’re coming for your maple syrup. WTF is he talking about? If you were looking for evidence he’s nuts here you go.

This entire halftime show is an enormous FU to ICE, right down to the wedding. Bunny is crushing it.

This from a lardy who cheats at golf and dodged serving because he had bone spurs.

What Olympic event will Trump say he won the gold in?

This opening ceremony for cortina Olympics is beautiful

The New York Times reports that Trump wants an entire National Gallery exhibit hall full of "artwork" depicting him. I have a great idea, maybe even brilliant, as to how to achieve this. #art #trump #narcissist

Not only is this guy an Olympic skier, but he has amazing penmanship, especially given his "pen" and "ink" choices. Well done Gus! I hope you take gold! www.telegraph.co.uk/winter-olymp...

"The President assured me clearly and unequivocally that he did not post it," Mark Burns, a member of Pastors for Trump, said about the video of the Obamas. And we all know Trump never lies. By the way, are you interested in this bridge I have for sale? www.rawstory.com/trump-ai-oba...

Douthat: How does such a smart guy not ask any real questions? Why do you stop caring about lives at birth? You’re pro the state executing people, often innocent ones? What about children being stripped from their families? What about laws that would foreclose fertility treatments? @nytimes.com

Mike Johnson lecturing the Pope about the Bible. That's like asking Jeffrey Epstein for child rearing advice. www.irishstar.com/news/pope-le...

BREAKING: Trump announces cracked Liberty Bell being scrapped, replaced by gold Trump Bell. Tarnished Statue of Liberty being torn down replaced by bigger gold Trump statue. Old dirty Dec of Independence being replaced by gilded Trump one.

WaPo, you lost readers when you became Trump toadies. You sold your soul—literally. Cuts won’t fix your problem. Return to your muckracking (Watergate, Pentagon Papers) traditions. Hold power to account. Build it—a trustworthy news outlet—readers will come. -Frmr subscriber @washingtonpost.com

Why did Amazon bother opening it in movie theaters? They could’ve just sent it directly to nursing homes in Trump states. Saved the old ladies the hassle. Saved all those shuttle van trips.

JD what are ya smoking? "...there's an incestuous nature to America's elites, and it's pretty gross." You're worth $12M. You vacation in Cotswolds, Nantucket, Aspen. You worked in VC for Thiel. "[Trump] never... was friendly with Epstein." Photos of the two chasing young girls. 1000+ mentions.

I’m confused. This is the line up for open mic night at the Cedar Falls Days Inn lounge, right?

Crazy idea: since the National Guard is still deployed in Washington DC, how about getting them out to shovel the streets and sidewalks? Maybe even the houses of older people who can’t do it themselves as well?

Kennedy had the best and the brightest. Lincoln had the Cabinet of rivals. Trump has the cast of pedos. Melania, Lutnick, Musk, Acosta, Bannon, Thiel, Barrack….
