I don’t really have an opinion here. Linking to this article to say that, when I saw the pic whilst doomscrolling, I thought initially I was seeing a red Klansman in a hood with two dark eyeholes.

Take this however you want, but the fact remains: The party who cares least about consequences, always has the most bargaining power.

The photo is priceless, yes, and I’m glad it went viral. But really, what were we expecting in a scenario like that? Some glimmer of compassion? Remember this is the guy starving 70 million humans in order to win a vain and Pyrrhic political moment. This is Zap Branigan, not Dr. McCoy.

Such a heartwarming Christian gathering just hours before millions lose their food assistance and go without paychecks, thanks to the so-called "Pro-Life Party." And it only cost taxpayers $3.4 million.

I will say one thing about 2025: it’s made me learn more about the details of US history and government than either college (1980s-90s) or law school (2000s) did.
Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

I think we passed that point about 15 years ago when he demanded to see Obama’s “real” birth certificate
At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.
