I mean, WTF is next? A stripper pole in the Oval Office? Three-card monte in the Rose Garden? Someone selling fake Rolexes from the White House gift shop?

If this is happening, it's the biggest surprise since ... finding out that water is wet.
My immediate reaction to these masked armed thugs is that they're criminals, whether they work for ICE or not.

Here's what I don't understand about "centrists" clutching their pearls over the probable election of Zohran Mamdani. The NYC mayor has executive power, but legislation has to go through the City Council. The mayor isn't a dictator. And Mamdani isn't a Trump.

I can't believe this guy is in the news again; he's been lying his way upward for decades. The only good thing I can say about him is that when he was investigated over the 2001 anthrax attacks, he was cleared.
Not surprised he became a Trumpist. Liars gravitate towards liars.

‘You need to immediately cancel all mRNA vaccines! I’m a doctor!’
‘Dude…you aren’t.’
‘Uhhh…I’m a PhD!’
‘Dude…you were busted for forging your diploma way back in 2007.’
‘I’m uhhhh….never mind… I quit….but you still can’t get vaccines.’

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.
That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.
The terrorists must be so pleased.
TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,
while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.

1. If the GOP guts Medicare and Medicaid, senior citizens and low-income families will indeed suffer. I've seen a lot of speculation that this is a way to weed out the elderly and the poor, and I find that believable. (I'm of Medicare age myself and have skin in the game.) But ...

Trump finally admitted he was behind the J6 Insurrection. He admitted to sending in 245 Undercover FBI agents.

So which damn Trump cabinet member is going to get the most people killed? The incompetent drunk at the head of the Defense Department? The sadistic puppy-shooter at Homeland Security? The measles-loving Middle Ages-style plague fan at HHS?

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

I live around men with huge arsenals they collected to fight tyranny.
Turns out “tyranny” is being asked wear a mask or kids having access to books or women having access to healthcare or gay folks getting married…

Suggestion for GOP politicians: When your incompetence and greed results in massive losses of lives and livelihoods, stop blaming it on "God's will." It's not a deity's fault. It's on you.

In light of the news that the US economy has *lost* jobs under Donald Trump, it bears a reminder that the US economy *never* lost jobs in *any* month under Joe Biden.
What an incompetent loser Donald is.

Just to summarize what a cesspool TwiXter has become: There are people taunting Tyrese Haliburton for tearing his Achilles tendon in the last game of the NBA finals.

If Trump wasn't a weak-ass bitch who thinks someone else's military service makes him tough, he'd be working with allies to put out the fucked-up dumpster fire raging between Israel and Iran.
That's what strong leaders do. Stupid weak leaders like Trump just get people killed for no good reason.
