At the moment, the official voice of the US government is a rancid mixture of trolling, cruelty, propaganda, and crass jokes about the human suffering they’re creating.

Not so sure the White House is going to be too happy with this ratio over at the other place

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Fucking Democrats. Once again, they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Only a despot starves his people for political gain. #Trump is a monster, pure evil, barely human.

I heard some on the right say this was Photoshopped. But I’ve also seen the video, and it looks even worse. If ever there was a metaphor for #Trump and his administration’s total lack of regard for America and Americans, this is it.

Maybe, but having a “come to Jesus” epiphany while still collaborating with the Devil is bullshit.

Amid horrendously long lines at food banks around the country, the president is willing to let Americans go hungry.

Lying to the American public and needlessly costing the lives of 4,400 servicemen and women plus several hundred thousand Iraqi citizens, and condoning the torture of captured solders. Is that also part of the evolution of American conservatism?

@newyorker.com Don't you dare glamorize or glorify this POS. The lies, distortions, and perversions he and Bush perpetuated on the country led to the deaths of nearly 5,000 American servicemen and women. He deserves condemnation, not honor.

Thanks for cleaning that up @davidcorn.bsky.social. So much clutter and ranting, it's easy to lose sight of his true intentions.

Just heard that Dick Cheney died and instantly thought of it this clip that introduced me to the comedy of @pattonoswalt.bsky.social ages and ages ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIQS...

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

@stephenking.bsky.social most of us can only dream of being the topic of an Onion bit (It is a bit, right?)

After another night of parties at his Palm Beach country club followed by a second round of golf, Emperor Nero J. Trump Caligula will return to DC to resume work on his gilded $350 million ballroom.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

Trying to spend a Saturday afternoon watching a little college football and take a break from the shitstorm, and what do I get? A fucking #DHS commercial about immigration.

BTW @nbcnews.com if the network takes the slightest action against Myers you are 100% chicken shit.

Another classic from @theonion.com

With the midterms on the horizon, I’m not sure why this hasn’t gotten more notice. Steiner worked at Fed Ex, so expect more talk of privatization, curtailing delivery to remote rural areas, and other service cutbacks. Vote by mail could be impacted, something Trump would love to see.

When Obama won my first thought was "this is awesome, but are we ready?". Turns out the answer was "no"? I heard people (some I had known my whole life) being openly racist for the first time. They no longer felt the need to hide it. Then Trump came along, and the last barrier was removed.

Not a jolt, more like a wake up call. Democrats have lost the plot and are losing their base, because they don’t have answers. Having been a registered Democrat since 1972, I am now an independent, and there are more out there like me. We want answers and solutions, not party rhetoric.

The wealthy controlling message, content, access, and information. What could possibly go wrong?

Trump is evil, vindictive, racist, fascist, mean-spirited, narcissistic, and lacking in any measure of intellect or intellectual curiosity. He’s a buffoon, a clown, but a dangerous one because he’s a psychopath devoid of empathy or compassion. And the worst part is… he’s our fucking president.

Any follow up on that Jim?

We are only 274 days into the #Trump Presidency. Feels longer doesn't it? The White House website can spin all the bullshit it wants about what they've "achieved", but this is clock I'm watching.

Exactly

So basically, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Dept told DHS to “f**k off”.

Trump wants to bypass the law and circumvent the courts, but he doesn’t want to be thought of as a king? Dude, that’s the definition. #NoKings

Let's say Soros did pay for "all the signs #NoKings protesters were carrying". What law did he break? Other than racking up a huge bill at Michael's and Hobby Lobby (wouldn't that one be ironic) there's nothing illegal about it.

The Night Epstein Died

A statement from some radical leftist antifa hating Americans… what’s that? It a post from the Austin TX PD? Well, ok then. #NoKings

Well done, USA. 🇺🇸

The f**king president of the United States is in a childish rant against Americans peacefully exercising a right guaranteed by the Constitution, something he swore an oath to defend. If you’re a Trump supporter please explain why you still are, and try not to sound like a complete idiot. #NoKings

Ok Mike, if we hate America so much why are all these people taking time out of their lives to show how much they love America, while you sit on the sidelines protecting a pedophile? #NoKings

Oh Ted, if there was "considerable evidence" you would produce it you lying POS. #NoKings

Turns out when you are a joke, you don't have a sense of humor... or irony. Trump is a disgusting POS. #NoKings

Yes, indeed. Take note of the peaceful non-non-violnent protest. Take note of the pride these people have in being able to demonstrate their right to freedom of speech. Take note as they denounce authoritarianism, a founding principle of America...

I thought the basis of a ceasefire was “everyone back to their corner”, not “we took it, we keep it”.

There is nothing MORE American than a rally condemning autocratic rule. Our country started with a simple premise, no taxation without representation... and NO Kings! I'm not anti-America, I'm anti-Trump, which for Republicans, is the same thing. News alert, they are not mutually inclusive.

If you type "is it safe" into Google, it immediately autofills to "is it safe to send quarterly tax payments to the irs while the government is shut down?" Guess I'm not the only one with that concern. So, during the #Trumpshutdown, they have no problem taking our money.

Happy, holy crap! This sadistic animal has a national holiday?
