I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you. This guy has neither the interest nor the capacity to broker complex deals. It's his way or the highway. But he's learning that some situations just can't be tarriffed away. www.cnn.com/2025/10/22/p...

Very nice police officer informed that my flag on a 1/2" PVC pipe was considered a weapon - there was NO WHERE I could stand with it today. It must be returned to my car. It took over an hour of wandering the streets and sidewalks of my little town before I was able to find my car. No Kings!

I will be attending a No Kings! protest gathering on Saturday because I love my country. #nokings #25thamendment #TDS=TrumpsDaysShort

The Christian Nationalists' war on empathy is all the evidence you need as an atheist. They caution you not to fall victim to your natural tendency to empathize with others lest it confuse you about "what is right" and "what is wrong". Believe your gut, not god. dailycampus.com/2025/09/19/t...

Remember a week or so ago when The Pentagon issued an ultimatum to the press corps that they were not to do their own research but instead were to only print what they were given? And they were asked to sign a pledge to that effect?

"Cigars and champagne. Who the hell cares?". Trump asking the Knesset for a pardon for his pal Bibi who is facing corruption charges. Because strongmen everywhere should be able to wheel and deal with impunity. Otherwise what's the point of even stealing an election and commandeering a country?

Take a lesson. This is how you deal with folks who avoid answering tough questions by spewing talking points and casting insults.. substack.com/@aaronrupar/...

79% of Republicans approve of the Supreme Court, compared with only 14% of Democrats, according to a recent Gallup poll. That says much more about SCOTUS than it does about Democrats and Republicans. Maybe they will do something about this imbalance during this upcoming term...

I'm not sure which is more embarrassing - this single pic or the entirety of his ridiculous performance in front of the Generals and Admirals.

Anybody else out there wish our President didn't sound and act like a spoiled 5-year-old toddler? I really think Susie Wiles needs to initiate some parental control restrictions on his account. Maybe put his phone up for a bit give him some time outside in the yard (assuming there's any yard left)

This is the Portland ICE facility that Trump has called for US military troops to secure from marauding bands of Antifa agitators. They are being authorized to use "full force" - because the situation is clearly out of control... bsky.app/profile/wyde...

What a ridiculous display of testosterone-charged performative nonsense. It would make me very happy to see and hear military brass call this out for what it is - an expensive pep rally for Hegseth to spout shit about his holy 'warrior ethic' and his WAR department. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Mic drop. Raskin 'welcomes' Kash Patel.

Rumsfeld was right - you go to war with the army you have, not the one you wish for. Christian Nationalists have chosen Kirk as the martyr that they are going with, despite the fact that his character was deeply flawed. They are doing what they can to control the narrative, but it isn't working...
