Can anyone help me set up a hedge fund that just bets against Trump following through with anything?

Trump is Nero and Caligula rolled into one.

every single financial institution would benefit from hiring exactly one (1) progressive to walk around the office all day long going “are you fucking stupid?” to anyone within ear shot

it’s not normal for the president to be falling asleep like this. Biden didn’t do this. this should be a big deal!

BREAKING Voice of America staffers say in a new lawsuit that the Trump admin and Kari Lake have “censored news coming out of Iran,” including “stories about anti-government protests” and opposition to the regime. They’ve sued over a breach of the statutorily-protected editorial firewall.

Stephen Miller: "What President Trump has done on border security and public safety is a national miracle that will be studied for centuries to come"

Sorry but if Miller didn't already realize HE was the guy they were gonna toss under the bus after all of this came to a head, then I don't know what to tell ya. Trump hates Jewish people, Steve. That's you too! If he can't find a woman or someone black or brown to blame, you're next on the list

It’s cool that the highest level of our government is basically a Make-A-Wish program for middle-aged losers

The vibes are increasingly like a mixture between “Veep” and “The death of Stalin”

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

If you have ever taken an international flight into the U.S. you understand how ludicrous this is.

NEW: A citizen-led “election integrity” group reportedly found a vote discrepancy in California’s November redistricting special election. Despite the coalition’s record of pushing misleading election claims, its findings led to the seizure of nearly 650k ballots cast in last year’s referendum.

NEW: DOGE is again appealing to the Supreme Court after lower courts ruled that CREW is entitled to discovery. Rather than comply, DOGE is using an obvious delay tactic to keep the American public in the dark about the full extent of its reckless operation.

President Trump's memecoin is surging as investors chase access to Mar-a-Lago. If that sounds like selling access to power, that's because it is. It's also blatant corruption.

“We can make a little journey into the Middle East…”

Last point especially. People in upper-income circles are used to thinking about the high opportunity costs for encumbrances on their time, and dismiss time spent by others in line or on forms; they've less experience with the potentially disastrous repercussions for those with no margin for error.

Not one of them has ever stood in a line for 4 hours or more to vote in person. Not one of them has been turned away at the polls because they are suddenly “not on the list.” Not one has had their pay docked b/c they arrived late to work b/c they went to vote in the morning.

"Five warehouses roughly within a mile of ICE’s future Oakwood, GA detention center have a price-per-square-foot value, determined by county assessments, of $87, $103, $98, $92 and $102 — an average of $96, or about $30 per square foot less than the price paid by ICE." www.ajc.com/news/2026/03...

Who's gonna tell him?

Haha, it's great that we're all waiting to see if the sitting President of the United States destroys the global economy tomorrow for no reason, right? This is fun. Love the suspense of all our lives hanging in the balance on the whims of an unstable, raging narcissist.

Another university getting rid of things you could only ever do at a university and replacing them with stuff a 13-year-old can do on a phone

Also, I have absolutely talked to Europeans who couldn’t wrap their brains around how big the US and Canada and Mexico are, and who did not quite grasp that it’s a bad idea to try to see New York City, Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, San Francisco, and Los Angeles in a week-long trip.

Hey, if you voted third party in 2024 or didn't vote as protest, I urge you to write down the feelings you're having right now on a piece of paper. Store that little note somewhere safe. In late October, retrieve and read it. Ask yourself if you want to continue feeling that way. Vote accordingly.

A statue of Christopher Columbus has been placed on the grounds of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House, the latest effort by President Donald Trump's administration to recognize the controversial explorer.

Among other problems with this stupid plan, ICE seems to be mostly male and mostly white, devoted to persecuting non-white immigrants, while TSA ... is not. ICE has tons of money, TSA workers have missed paychecks. The idea that they're going to work together without friction seems far fetched.

I think I’d rather drive across the entire country in a rented Ford Fiesta than wait in a 6 hour security line that had ICE agents at the front of it.

From the people currently pretending to be concerned about TSA funding.

Astonishing. The goal of our war is now to undo the effect of the war we started. Gosh, if only we could rewind to, say, four weeks ago when the Strait of Hormuz was open and normal!

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

This is why California Dems are freaking the F out. Chad Bianco is polling number 2 in the latest poll for the governor’s race. Not only has he seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election, he’s an election denier and had ties to the Oath Keepers, which he acknowledged years ago.

“He did not issue a grand-jury subpoena to compel Mr. Trump’s sworn testimony. He settled for written questions…When the responses finally arrived on Nov. 20, 2018, Mr. Trump failed to respond to almost every crucial question, citing a failure of memory.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/u...

If i were japan I’d probably play up the existence of godzilla in diplomatic talks with trump

I'm old enough to remember living in a time when the adults were in charge. Now we we're living in the Age of Ignorance & Dumbfuckery...

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

BREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers. Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.

It's worse because he's trapped between Israel and Iran, who both need to escalate for very different reasons

Iran wants to inflict enough pain to ensure that nobody ever attempts what Trump just did again. I have no idea if that point has been reached yet, but I suspect it has not.

I might just keep reposting this until people realize it's the best plan we've got.

Right. I’m drawing a distinction between “can he chicken out” and “can he chicken out in a way that fixes things.” I think he absolutely can and will chicken out and try to pretend things are okay and also not his fault. I do not think we avoid the economic spiraling, as I said in my post.

Begging people to understand that unlike everything else, in war you cannot TACO unilaterally. He's trapped and can't get out unless Iran lets him out. He will keep doing this back and forth because he wants to TACO but he **can't**

Welcome to Bluesky @courtsofnz.bsky.social, and hope other government Ministries, and Departments in New Zealand follow suit. #nzpol

1984 Olympic opening ceremonies. 800 piece band. 100,000 in people in stadium. The TV audience is 1.5 billion people around the world. Fanfare for the Common Man opens the show. There’s supposed to be several bars of just tympani before the trumpets start the melody. One trumpet comes in a bar early

For example, Trump apparently spent most of the evening on the horn with Israeli reporters and then he’ll go to bed and who the hell knows if any of that will hold through to tomorrow?

Lemon complained they had to learn that DOJ had falsely charged one of his 38 alleged co-conspirators based off this NYT story. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/u...

Air traffic controller gave permission for fire truck to cross active runway as Air Canada 646 was landing. Plane struck fire truck. Airport & air traffic control system stretched beyond capacity. Human error caused the accident. An available gate may have prevented tragedy.

How much blood and treasure must we spend just so Trump can dismantle the achievements of a black man?

Remember this one?
