I’m just saying that if my religion had the rest of the world ALSO praying that all its believers get Raptured off the planet on Tuesday… like maybe on Wednesday, Evangelicals should reflect on why everyone else would have gladly dealt with a 1000 year apocalypse instead another day with them.

The only health concern regarding Trump I want to hear at this point is they were concerned the putrification could be toxic to anyone in a 100 mile radius so they needed hazmats to remove the body.

James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, died and my heart goes out to the generations of countless victims directly harmed by his teachings & ideologies. The only tragedy in his passing is that he didn’t die much sooner so perhaps there might have been less suffering left in his wake.

HOT TAKE 🚨 There was never an actual Epstein list or anything else exposing things we don’t already know. The potential existence of a blackmail list was always just MAGA fodder for their deep state pizza gate conspiracies. When Elon started using it against Trump it wasn’t fun or useful anymore.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Murkowski was always a yes. This whole hemming & hawing beforehand followed by her hopes & concerns the House will kick it back is her schtick along with Collins.

The craziest part about No Kings Day being the largest single day protest is that every prior mass protest in recent history happened during Trump except two, and those ones happened during Nixon and Reagan 😃😃

The entire military “perade” was an embarrassment but the fact that they stacked 3 Sam’s Club sheet cakes and stuck what looks to be TJ Maxx throw pillow on top is… actually such a perfect encapsulation of this regime.

“Taco Bell has the chance to do something so funny lolll”
2025 & we still like corporate pandering?
I’d rather support local taquerias selling chicken tacos for 47¢ on June 14th across the nation.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.
An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as *** $20 MILLION *** worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy.

Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence
The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."
Trump caught in major corruption scheme
Even for Trump, the overt corruption is staggering.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
