Mel Brooks has been around for 40% of the US's existence.

The president of the United States is a rapist.

Apparently in all seriousness, the NYT runs a prominent series, the name of which includes the words “interesting” and “Douthat”.

The Supreme Court has ruled: Fuck it, we're not even pretending any more The vote was 6-3

Reading about the Obama Center opening, seeing photos, videos, hearing speeches, reading commentaries confirmed a STARK contrast between two presidents. DJT's is consumed with hate, anger, delusions of grandeur and getting retribution. He is evil. He's NOT presidential. He needs to be removed.

What a clown show. Trump is the dumbest fucking president ever. Actually, he's one of the dumbest Americans ever, and the worst American in our 250 year history. Nobody comes close to the damage he's inflicted on the US and the world. But if someone writes "8647" at the beach, that's a threat?

The time and effort being spent by the government—OUR government—to keep his name on a building…

Melania must testify. Why hasn’t she been called? Hillary was made to testify under oath- why not Melania who actually knew the man?

“Even if the arch isn’t stopped now, the fight against it can lay the groundwork for removing it as soon as possible after January 20, 2029. The day the arch is taken down will mark the restoration of fidelity to the nation’s founding principles.” www.thebulwark.com/p/get-ready-...

Melania must testify. Why hasn’t she been called? Hillary was made to testify under oath- why not Melania who actually knew the man?

Melania is the First Lady. She was a lot of people's First Lady.

Ossoff: They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach, who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.

With each passing day, I'm liking Jon Ossoff more and more. I think he may be the real deal.

A gentle reminder

We need a ballroom in every classroom.

This is a significant observation. The paradox of Trump: Spending enormous sums of money, with cheap tacky results. Simple-minded stupidity, that still super-efficiently destroys the structure of a government designed by thoughtful idealists. Ghastly parodies of religion. The banality of evil.

He raped a woman in a department store and, if the complete Epstein files are ever released, may have done the same to minors. Now he's raping the American taxpayer.

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

Trump got called a declining nation to his face by a foreign autocrat he flew 20 hours to grovel before, and his response was to post a Biden blame thread. Staggering levels of humiliated delusion on full public display.

I live in Virginia. I have been disenfranchised by the legal division of MAGA.

Markwayne is saying arrests at the World Cup are “not off the table” while saying the Gestapo won’t have a presence there out the other side of his face. DO NOT COME HERE IT IS NOT SAFE!!!!

Mastriano? A damn election denying MAGA thug who couldn’t come close to getting elected statewide in PA?Ambassador to Slovakia? As a proud Slovak American, I am embarrassed and insulted and infuriated!

Phil Ochs' words in Here's to the State of Mississippi are evergreen.

Singer-songwriter, legendary vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, mandolin player, producer, Grammy winner and RnR Icon Steve Winwood has 78 candles on his birthday cake today. (May 12, 1948)

This MUST happen. Can I get an amen?

Glass half full observation: The Dems being disenfranchised in congressional districts can still (for now…) take out their righteous anger in Senate races. The Senate is in play. Make them pay there!

He can r*pe children He can inside trade He can celebrate other peoples’ deaths He can call women “piggies” He can destroy government properties He can threaten the world He can take everyone who’s not a millionaire or billionaire’s rights away BUT SURE, I have to stay quiet!

We may have just lost the country and the future this morning. The South has indeed risen again.

GOP in a nutshell... #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Statue of limitations has not expired on this tweet.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Teddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Donald Trump needs to go to Assassinations Anonymous if he can’t control his addiction to the Hitman Hoax. Help is available.

This right here.

Gun violence? We’ve gone from “thoughts and prayers”, to something about doors, to “build a ballroom”. Problem solved!

To all journalists and news organizations attending tonight's White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner:

Football/soccer fans all over the world: Do not come to the U.S. It is not safe and supporting this farce is the same as supporting this evil regime. It's complicity. Stay home, save your money and support your local club: open.substack.com/pub/psychope...

He's the worst thing that ever happened to America. I despise him BECAUSE I love my country. 🇺🇸

Right? Easiest thing is just to not walk in in the first place.

Has Trump Tried, Self Impeachment 🤔........

Yes, Virginia, there is…..hope.

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
