NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

I’m not sure how or even if this type of mass stupidity can be combated - but we must repeat the truth. MAGA influencers falsely claim Officer Fanone’s body cam footage hasn’t been released when: a) it’s easy to find online & b) it shows him being assaulted by violent extremists loyal to Trump.

"These ships should go through the Strait of Hormuz and show some guts, there’s nothing to be afraid of"

I think they mean: "He might actually be stupid enough to try it" I wonder who that official is? 🤔

If the Chinese replaced Trump with an android programmed to say and do whatever they wanted, it wouldn’t look any different than what we’re seeing now.

He looks even older than 79. At least he's awake. Not, er, blinking.

Great sign for the GOP in the midterms when they'd rather talk about skyrocketing gas prices than Trump's cult-leader blasphemy

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Seems bad.

Trump confused Taiwan with Iran, and the New York Times has again erased it from the account of Trump's presser because it's embarrassing to him They framed it instead as "Trump Says He and Xi Talked Extensively About Taiwan"

Look at this pathetic clown. "I don't think Congress needs to get in the way of the administration" could be his answer to *anything* Donald wants to do. Separation of powers 🤷‍♂️ The Strait of Hormuz was closed because of Operation Epstein's Fury. Opening it again seems very much linked.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

US 30yr yield aims for its highest weekly settle since July 2007 5.10% this morning

This a disgusting abomination. Republicans are going to make hard-working, law abiding taxpayers pay off the thugs and criminals who beat cops on J6 and were convicted of various other crimes. Vote every Republican out of office this Nov. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

$1.7bn. It reads like you will just need to claim you were a victim of non-existent weaponization. After Jan 6th there were 718 guilty pleas alone. They fought to keep Donald in power after he lost the election. Seems likely they'll be getting a lot of money.

The only surprise being the word "ethics". Didn't know that was still a thing.

The President is telling the IRS to give him $10 billion rn

Breaking NYT: The Trump Justice Department is dropping Biden-era charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. The reversal came after Adani hired a new legal team led by one of Trump's personal lawyers.

I’m so sorry your bribes to the imperial son-in-law weren’t respected.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

The first part is all true, but that second part ... 🤦‍♂️ There isn't a military solution. There's only a diplomatic one. That's just geography. No amount of aircraft carriers and battleships changes that. As long as they have drones, mines, and/or land-based missiles, they are in control of it.

Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

You'll be shocked to learn the reporter Trump called a "dumb person" is a black woman (Akayla Gardner of MSNOW) thegrio.com/2026/05/12/t...

The administration does appear to be doing a Sicario in Mexico. www.cnn.com/2026/05/12/p...

There is no limit to the stupidity. It can (and will) get stupider.

Of course he hasn't. He's not going to ask for permission 🤦‍♂️ He doesn't view Congress as an equal. Fortunately for him, neither do they.

Before the war, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Now it's not. Before the war, talks were happening. Now they are not Before the war, Iran wasn't close to a nuclear weapon. Still aren't Before the war, those 13 soldiers and 165 Iranian schoolchildren were alive. Now they're dead. $29bn set on fire

Disapproval of Trump's management of the economy hits 70%

Trump posted about 60 times over a few hours last night. He has these mental breakdowns a couple times a month these days, but last night was especially delulu.

“.. CHART OF THE DAY: Yes, ⛽️ gasoline; but also 🥩 beef. .. The cost of a pound of ground chuck has risen to near $7 .. up ~91% since Trump's 1st inauguration).” @javierblas.bsky.social

Well this aged terribly

Trump is about to hit REM sleep on camera in the Oval

unfortunately, kim il sung's clothes hang a lot better

It did not take him two weeks 😮. New estimate for painting the reflecting pool blue: end of May. In the meantime he's posted some AI slop (twice the width it actually is). So there's that.

Ah. AI doesn't need to get any more intelligent to overtake us.

Actually laughed out loud at that one. The chyron is good too: "US and Iran exchange fire amid ceasefire".

Makes sense. They're in no hurry. They hold all the cards 🤷‍♂️ One slight surprise: I thought China would make Donald sweat and then push for an agreement ahead of the summit next week. Show who's in charge. But seems not.

😂 Where do you even begin? Perhaps with that classic 2015 interview. "Donald Trump was repeatedly asked in an interview to state his favorite Bible verse, since Trump had previously declared the Bible to be his favorite book, but declined each time and explained that it is "very personal" to him."

Or flatten it. Or rebuild the East Wing. When Republicans lose their minds, simply remind them what Donald said:

People liked to speculate about Biden not actually being in charge. But here's Trump actually TELLING us that he doesn't know what's being done in his name.

😳 The five-year chart looks ... pretty much how you'd expect.

Pleading on Putin’s behalf? No surprise there. I'm guessing the "only covers the parade area" won't be highlighted by corporate media. Especially once this gets added to his fictional "wars I've ended" list. Which he ... hasn't. Despite it being well after "day one".

do any religious texts mention golden idols anywhere

Hegseth in March: “Never before has a modern, capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective.” They lied through their teeth. Just straight up fabricated shit.

My view = Obama's. 1. Given the vastness of the universe, it's statistically near-certain intelligent life exists elsewhere. 2. It's also statistically wildly improbable it would've come here—let alone detectably. 3. I'd be shocked if the UFO Files undermine this second premise.

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

Ah. In that case, this ceasefire will probably be similar to the one between Israel and Lebanon.
