When will American politicians and the general public realize that “norms” are not the guardrails they think will stop any overreach from an administration like the current Trump admin? Create laws and enforce them. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/u...

Someone who is good at the economy please give us 3 billion more dollars for Compute. We were forced to turn off all AI research to generate photos of Sam Altman as a hot dog

I want to raise a few issues with this ... - The unemployment rate was 4.6% in Nov 2025. - There are 982,000 more unemployed people in Nov 2025 than in Jan 2025. - There are 271,000 fewer federal government employees. - 982,000 > 271,000. More than 3 times more unemployed.

Lame-duck executive whose net approval sits at historic lows tells opposition to "get on board."

I agree with this

Behind the absolutely unhinged delivery there is a simple truth: Trump’s corruption is helping his friends and family while things are getting worse for you and yours. He’s failing you because he doesn’t care about you.

When not in use, the Rubio is powered down and placed in a corner.

Usually you've got to buy somebody at least two Amstel Lights to get them to eat your ass out like this.

I'm so glad these people are being exposed for morons. Please do more interviews, Alex Karp, Sam Altman, Thiel and others. These billionaires are freaks, folks. They aren't prophets or geniuses who will save humanity. They're more like the pharoah, but dumber.

This is the most jaw-droopingly stupid post I've ever seen from the US Treasury's Twitter account. Best Twitter riposte of the day.

@kim.senate.gov keep fighting the good fight. We have very few of you in the political arena. We can’t fight corruption in Washington (what we are seeing in spades) if local Democrats (like these knuckleheads in NJ) feel entitled to the same level of corruption.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Agreed. Unfortunately most of the Dem Senators (incl those who voted “no” who were in this charade) are feckless as well. There’s no point voting for a Dem if you get the Rep results. The Dem party needs an overhaul and have most of these folks replaced.

A fully orchestrated move. If there is no movement to remove the leadership, then no one should donate a penny or a second to the Democratic Party. The 2 party system is corrosive. I am also a fan of having strong primaries even when my candidate is on the ballot. It’s healthy.
