I haven't heard or seen Varad's name in a looooooong time. I liked it better that way

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

Luttig's loyalty is to the basic principles of American constitutionalism. He rightly sees that what Trump has done, particularly since J6, is a uniquely terrifying threat to the basic foundations of our social contract. Nothing else matters if you destroy the foundation.

I am once again asking anyone to explain how all the errors are in one direction.

DHS has been posting Nazi memes for months. None of this is an accident.

Bullshit. Trump was rage posting at midnight.

He couldn’t of course say it was the first racist thing he’s seen out of this White House.

Don't just pray it's not real. It is real. Do something.

They just can't let this poor kid alone. Jesus Christ.

Hillary was right about everything….

It isn't fake... prayer can't just erase the fact that this exists and Trump posted it. I'm sure Trump will just say that he didn't see that part, but even if that is true, it is still a wild and unhinged conspiracy theory video that would destroy the credibility of every other president.

There is simply no debate to be had about wheter or not Trump is a racist. There is no context in which this not racism.

His demagoguery knows no bounds. Trump is the epitome of the "goat" in Matthew 25 who protests that he did stuff for Jesus, but Jesus says he never knew him.

Watch.

This article is behind a paywall. Please tell me that this is only the sense that Labour could pick a new PM, instead of this triggering a new election that fucking Nigel Farage would win.

I have come to the conclusion that George Soros is Emmanuel Goldstein.

Good God...

My God. The idea that Donald Trump has any "attachment to the ordinary expectations of republican principles and the rule of law" is the most absurd statement I have heard in a looooong time. Trump abhors republican principles and restraint. He is a demagogue in every sense of the word.

Unbelievable

You would hope that the Secretary of Treasury would understand this…

The whole theory and purpose of tariffs falls apart if you deny that they are inflationary. If they don't raise prices, why would they protect domestic producers against international competitors? Their main purpose is to make foreign goods at least as expensive as domestic goods... AKA: inflation.

The entire purpose of tariffs is to raise prices- either for raising tax revenue or to protect domestic industries. They raise the baseline price of goods from the world price to the tariff price and introduce economic deadweight. There is no "could" about this, even if Trump pretends otherwise.

I just started teaching an AP Microeconomics class that is 90% POC. AKA: Stephen Miller's worst nightmare.

As long as we understand "hottest" to mean "dumpster fire," then absolutely.

A revolting display of sexism and misogyny from the pedophile president.

If the leader of an alien planet arrived on Earth and asked to speak with one representative of mankind, who would you choose?

Cato has now put out a statement in my name responding to Donald Trump's latest "The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over.’ We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” Online at: www.cato.org/news-release...

I never, ever want to hear the Republicans call themselves "Defenders of the Constitution" again.

Hearing Trump deliver speeches is what my personal Hell would be if Hell is personalized. Everything about his speeches and their style eats away at my very soul.

God forbid a mythological character be Black, instead of a German model (Diane Kruger).

Nobody but sorry D-listers will play the Trumpified Kennedy Center and he’s going to shut it down rather than endure the humiliation.

I don't have a hard time believing he wants to skip AA meetings.

As usual, if any other president had made a statement this delusional and racist, they'd be institutionalized within a day.

Muslim university students were arrested and expelled for protesting genocide. Let's see if college Republicans get even a slap on the wrist for advocating extrajudicial killings.

This is about the least surprising news about Nancy Mace. It's horrible, and she should step away from politics, but this is so par for the course for Mace.

Back to the classics- pretending this is the late 80s/early 90s and "crime" is a huge problem. Here's the thing- crime has trended downward for decades, we are far lower than we once were, and Trump keeps pardoning white collar criminals (esp. corrupt public officials). Oh & the Epstein Files.

It's Groundhog's Day, again What level of Phil Connors are you today?

My guess is that Trevor Noah would be delighted with Trump's "fun." A lawsuit would give him endless material for more jokes. Any serious lawyer would explain that to Trump, but his crew are all scared of the demented jerk.

The only thing that might allow the republic to survive this presidency is Trump's extreme narcissism & desire to be worshipped that gives him tunnel vision on completely irrelevant distractions, like award shows and ballrooms.

Each of these 7 items would easily be the biggest scandal for like 45 Presidents.

Punxsutawney Phil has withdrawn his name from the Eagles Offensive Coordinator search

i truly hate how much we are living in a bad script

The schoolmates of Liam Conejo Ramos wrote letters to ICE. This is just gutting. And also such a reminder that hate is taught. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

Meanwhile, the people who deduced that "cheese pizza" meant an order for child p*rn from Comet Ping Pong Pizzeria in John Podesta's hacked email account somehow cannot accept that Donald Trump did unimaginably evil acts with Epstein, despite a mountain of evidence.

For real. Teapot Dome and Watergate probably wouldn't even make the evening news on a typical Tuesday in the Trump Era.

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.
