When a Democrat politician does this, it's surprising news, because it so rarely happens. You have more fingers than instances of Democrat politicians doing this. When a Republican politician does this, it's not surprising news because it happens as often as news like "Sun Rose In East Today."

Trump unable to talk about the economy, switches instead to whining about non-white immigrants coming here, and white immigrants avoiding the US. Also apparently Trump is in favor of affordability, even though he last called it a hoax. www.npr.org/2025/12/10/g...

Birthright citizenship was a part of English common law in the American English colonies, well before the creation of the USA with the US Constitution, which originally did not contain birthright citizenship, because of enslaved persons.

"The group rallied amid frigid conditions at the Target store on East Lake Street, alleging it allowed agents to stage raids in the parking lot. 'You cannot celebrate our communities on your commercials while letting ICE stalk them in your parking lot'...” www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

Because other countries understand that a trade deficit is not something to be avoided altogether.

I'm more appalled at Simon throwing out so much meat. That's at least 2/3rds of the bird going in the bin. At least the Cat is attempting to keep the food from going to waste.

It’s a mystery (Goes back to my silent films, ukulele, manual typewriter and vintage recipes)

"I know you are, but what am I?"

Incredibly galling to hear Sauer talk about how the president is accountable to the public through elections, when the president he's referring to is one who attempted to illegally overturn an election he lost

I turned off the news for 1 day to give myself a break, and came back to this. wtf is going on now?

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

A few years ago, the Jamaican government made an unusual bet. It went to investors around the world asking if they'd like to wager on the chances a major hurricane would hit the island in the next couple of years. Would that bet pay off? And for whom?

Good article in Barron's summarizing the trajectory of Tesla's auto business. But the headline is incorrect. 2025 will be the second consecutive year of wholesale decline from the Shanghai factory. 2024 was down 3.3% from 2023. www.barrons.com/articles/tes...

I approve this message. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

I keep seeing people on social media saying "no US media outlet is reporting on this story from foreign media," and NPR did a story on it days or weeks ago. NPR is one of the last US national news outlets still doing good journalism.

Man swearing he never had sex with kids, pardons man convicted of molesting kids. You can't get a pardon until a court and usually a jury decides there's enough evidence to convict you of a crime.

If you haven't seen a silent movie yet this year, here is a short film of a Dutch dog show: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUMe...

From the twisted, muddled mush mind of Donald Trump.

The United States joined 90 other countries at the United Nations on Wednesday to demand Russia "ensure the immediate, safe and unconditional return of all Ukrainian children who have been forcibly transferred or deported" and urge Moscow to stop the practice. www.reuters.com/world/us-bac...

The Trump Administration's latest rationale for killing striken seamen was that they knew that two men had survived the initial strike but that they "needed to sink the vessel" so they fired again. That is the EXACT same defense Heinz-Wilhelm Eck used after WWII. He was found guilty and executed.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

In CRAZY LIKE A FOX, Charley Chase meets the love of his life on a train and tries to get out of an arranged marriage by feigning insanity. You guessed it, the woman on the train and his arranged fiancée are one and the same. Oops.

After the urine collection device in his spacesuit broke, Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon with a boot full of pee.

This has been a Republican hypocrisy for decades now: the party claiming it wants to protect intellectual property rights, consistently using an artist's music without the artist's permission to promote a policy antithetical to the artist's ideals.

Great. $350 million to put it up, and it'll all burn down from faulty wiring, or get blown to pieces in a windstorm. Building codes are there to keep buildings safe too. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

NPR's Scott Simon explains why The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" is a holiday song for those who have troubles and heartache.

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

Today's review covers a supernatural mystery from Danish pioneer Viggo Larsen. When a child is lost in the woods, a boy uses his powers to locate her. Very nice examples of mystic visions and cross-cutting for suspense! moviessilently.com/2025/11/30/t...

EU Tells Trump: You Can’t Pardon Putin For War Crimes In Ukraine - Politico

As others have pointed out, the founders never foresaw a corrupt president (which we have) abusing the pardon power to absolve all criminals and miscreants for any reason, nor did our Daffy Duck Supreme Court ever think it might not be a good idea to put said president above the law.

Et interessant marinbiologisk faktum er at sjøløver aldri er anonyme.

Stalling on releasing the Epstein files and pardoning some drug dealers while killing others makes perfect sense through the lens of Trump Inc being a traditional organized crime family with branches in gambling, drugs and prostitution. He’s killing his rivals right out in the open.

imo if you want to get back in power your slogan should be "If you elect us we will prosecute everyone in government who has violated the law"

Indiana Republican state senator. I appreciate her not caving, but they are all still afraid to ever use Trump’s name. I guess doing so exponentially increases the threats. Trump rules the GOP with fear and intimidation. What a broken party.

This post is illegal as it violates the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of Venezuela. Meddlong in the internal affairs of a foreign nation is illegal and an act of war.

Please enjoy this silly pic I snapped of Luna earlier 😂

there is no reason to expect—or fear—computers becoming intelligent. we should be afraid that people have already stopped thinking for themselves
