An SLS costs ~4B and (potentially) comes with a lot more prestige!
The first of the Navy’s proposed "Trump-class" battleships could cost up to $22 billion, according to an early analysis, a price tag that would make it one of the most expensive military vessels in U.S. history.
Trump-class warship may be among costliest US military vessels

Impersonating an FBI agent is a felony, right? Arrest ICE

It's been broken open.

TJ Sabula, my constituent & a UAW worker, has been suspended after Trump flipped HIM off and said "F*ck you" to him.
This is unacceptable. NEVER believe MAGA when they cry about the 1st amendment.
Since Trump can't fire me, I'll say it:
Donald Trump is a pedophile protector.

Once again: a far-right president asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews, after he has repeatedly accused Jews of being “disloyal.” What could go wrong?

The gofundme for that factory worker who called Trump a pedophile protector is at like $300k. Funniest possible outcome of this is everyone rushing to do the same thing in the hopes of getting paid

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

Live your life such that your enemies don't consider you to be a useful idiot for them
however I did not say "Jon Chait never called Trump a dangerous authoritarian." I was referring to your arguments that Trump is not a fascist, that Jan 6 was not a real insurrection, that the Stormy Daniels prosecution was bad, and that Colorado should not have kicked him off the ballot

this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

No one ever follows up "So to be clear: the punishment for disrespecting law enforcement is immediate execution without trial?"
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
