trump has rolled back Biden's CAFE from 50.4mpg to 34.5mpg by 2031 and auto manufacturers are already cutting back on electric vehicle production. When a Dem becomes president in 2029, I hope one of the first things he does is reinstate the 50.4, by 2031. Teach them to listen to a moron.

trump's stooges are cracking down on "left-wing terror groups". They call it "antifa" and that makes them... No matter. Call the few left-wing "terrorists" what they are, mr trump: "the competition".

Attention president dumbass: The hero who disarmed the Bondi Beach shooter let him walk away. Hero was later shot and the shooter picked up another gun and killed more. Hero could have tried to shoot him (without knowing how to shoot) or beat him with the gun. That is the "fog of war". Idiot.

Nicki Minaj has gone from left-wing, pro-trans, anti-trump to trump's new bff. Makes me wonder... what does she think she's going to need a pardon for?

In the past, protection rackets were proposed & enforced in secret. No longer. "Nice little company you got here, NVidia. It'd be a shame if something happened to it, like you can't sell to China due to security concerns. But for 25% of profits, we'll let you. Let us worry about the constitution."

Ever offer a toddler, one who is just learning what money can do, the choice between "a shiny new quarter, or this crumbled old dollar" just to see what he picks? That's trump in one sentence.

Paramount is challenging Netflix in acquiring Warner Brothers Discovery. - Paramount is now controlled by MAGAt money. - trump says he'll be "involved" in assessing the deal. Any bets on who'll own WB next year? Personally, I don't think Netflix can match any Ellison bribe.

WaPo reports that the SCOTUS seems to favour allowing the prez to fire heads of independent federal agencies. This means, the only private discussion they still need to have is, if we ever allow a Democrat to win the presidency, how do we take it back?

When is a journalist, foreign head of state, cabinet member, or any elected official going to tell Trump to his face that the emperor has no clothes? One might be followed by an avalanche.

Republicans have a new prime directive: Defend the indefensible. That's it.

In a perfect world, once trump is out of office (in prison, dead, something), all of the people he pardoned will be back in prison* for "bribing a government official". That's still a crime, right? *exclude the J6 thugs. Sticking your nose up the president's butt is not yet a crime.

trump has decided to pardon former Dem rep Henry Cuellar. Cuellar must be using his money laundering and bribery skills to give to trump, rather than take for himself. So it's all good, right?

Bad guy: possible low-level drug mules off the Venezuelan coast. Kill them all! Good guy: former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who flooded the US with drugs. Pardon him! (in exchange for a hefty bribe)

trump SAYS he's trying to stop illegal drugs yet he pardoned former Honduras president and drug lord Juan Orlando Hernández, who is probably more responsible for flooding the US with drugs than anyone else on earth. Any guess as to how much the bribe was that he paid to trump? I'm guessing US$10B

tinyurl.com/wapoPoverty A great example of what's wrong w/the USA. One guy suggested the poverty level should be $140k. Some think that's wrong. Did they offer reasons TO THE AUTHOR why his reasoning is flawed? He might rethink some of essay, or defend what he wrote. Arguing is not communicating.

If trump/repugs were serious about crime, they'd be deporting convicted criminals to foreign countries, and leave the day and restaurant workers alone.

Does anyone think that Hegseth's "kill them all" is NOT an admission that he wanted to leave no witnesses to his illegal slaughter of foreign fishermen?

Here's how the Mamdani and trump meeting played out: trump: NYC isn't getting a cent in federal money. Mamdani: I understand. How big a kickback do you need? Is 10% enough? And the rest of the meeting was haggling over percentage.

No matter what you think of president trump, you have to admit that he knows US constitutional law. I mean, it's astounding, the percentage of SCOTUS decisions that have gone his way. The only other explanation is, of course, the obvious one, the one everybody knows.

Quitter Greene is resigning from Congress, effective two days after her five year mark. I'm sure she didn't realise that by doing so, she receives a lifelong pension and health care.

From a WaPo article on why homicides are down: "There is no one reason or no silver bullet for what makes crime go up [or] down," said Insha Rahman of the Vera Institute of Justice. "Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying." Of course, it's down due to trumps amazing leadership. Oh wait. I'm lying.

I like the new, improved ten-most-wanted-list. The other nine are still on a single sheet of paper in the post office, I suppose.

Is there some court that can: 1. ask trump about each of the pardons he's issued 2. if he says he doesn't know them, or their case, cancel the pardon ??? My guess is, the best he can do is say, "I don't know him but he gave me money". For any of the 1,600 people.

I hope every time trump, or one of his supporters, or a congressidiot who voted for his budget, or any random MAGAt opens his or her mouth, they are greeted with a loud chorus of "QUIET PIGGY!"

Yay to the feds releasing the Epstein files. I'm glad they have their priorities straight. I guess I just missed the votes on extending the ACA subsidies. How did that go?

The DoJ should investigate Dems on the Epstein list. Start with the highest profile one. You know... the good friend who changed from Dem to republican in 2001.

trump must be making a fortune from Saudi Arabia. How else can anyone explain his rolling out the red carpet for crown prince mohammed bin salman, and apologising for his green lighting the brutal murder of an American journalist? And this is without even knowing if the journalist is a Democrat?

I understand and completely agree with trump telling the DoJ to go after Dems named in the Epstein files and not the repugs. We know all of the repugs so named are pedophiles and probable rapists. Let's exonerate the named Dems, throw the named repugs in the clink and move on.

WH admits the October jobs reports and inflation are the worst ever. Well, they actually said they "never collected" the data, but, really, isn't that the same thing with this administration?

I never do this, this sharing links with others, but with the world falling apart, everyone should see these five minutes of pure joy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfUE...

bad: Telling the federal government to not pay for food stamps worse: Going to court when a judge says, "ya gotta" even worse: SCOTUS saying "no, let people starve" even even worse: when states step in, the fed says "you can't or you'll be penalised" I would call that "worst" but I fear it is not.

I checked with the Nobel committee. One of the criterion for awarding the prize is NOT "starve poor people in your own country". Sorry, donnie.

This is simply fear mongering by the right wing media to discredit progressive candidates.

HOW THE FUCK DID OUR COUNTRY BECOME THE ONE WHERE THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO CUT APPROVED AID TO THE POOR AND THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT'S OK???????????????????????? Sorry. I really just screamed that out.

@dindin6.bsky.social Thanks for nothing. I've been reading your posts and now have a series of Yes songs clogging up my tiny little mind. And I'm listening Journey to the Center of the Earth. 😘 Election results great. Dick Cheney still dead. Have a great Wednesday!

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Dick Cheney is still dead.

trump wants to revisit the 2020 election that he won. I concede. He won. 2016: won 2020: won 2024: ineligible. Get the f out of what's left of the WH.

Nancy Mace staff said she's been getting "death threats" and that's why she was so touchy at the airport (screaming and cursing at cops & TSA) but that suggests someone thinks she's important enough to kill. Nancy, you're not. You not even as important as, say, a random blogger.

Nancy Mace (R-Idiotville) screamed and cursed at cops & TSA agents because she didn't feel "secure". I understand. Mace is running for Gov & knows she's in over her head and will be out of work in a year. That's stressful. Sorry, Nancy. Make better decisions next time.

I agree that trump should not ask for Congressional approval for it's "war" on Venezuela and vicinity. trump should just admit that he doesn't want his cabinet on his golf courses so he's letting them kill Brown people for sport instead.

Q: how much does a nuclear submarmine cost? A: even with today's inflation, one replica gold crown. Apparently.

Trump wants to have a "triumphal" arch built in DC. Then he's going to paint it gold. Then he's going to add a second golden arch. Then he's going to have them deliver big macs to state dinners.

Most likely, the priceless jewels stolen from the Louvre the other day have been dismantled so they can be sold and the beauty of the finished jewelry is gone forever. The likely suspect is the premier of destruction, but trump probably has an alibi.

ACECO construction, the company destroying the White House, has a new website. It should at least say the site is under destruction (I am not making this up):

Trying to figure out how trump's going to take the ballroom with him when he leaves office. It's to big for his private 747. BTW, 90,000 square feet? His balls aren't that big.

Today's WaPo reports that 10s of millions of $ are still owed to NC counties after Hurricane Helene, mostly held up by incompetent Noem. It also reports that NC is redistricting to add a repub seat. Two questions: - Related? - Is that enough tribute to make trump happy so he'll release the money?

DOdGE saved us billions, maybe trillions. Tariffs mean other countries are paying tribute to our coffers every day. Why are we still paying taxes?

trump pardoned #georgesantos for his convictions on identity theft or wire fraud, or, to trump, for "being a republican"

Sign at no kings/Arvada: "honk if you're against the psychopathic dictator" For the next no kings event, my sign will read "raise your middle finger if you're against the psychopathic dictator" For the few w/malfunctioning brains who give the one-finger salute. It'll confuse the fuck out of them.

The republican "leadership" is falling over itself to characterise today's No Kings events as "people who hate America". That's good news. We're making them squirm.
