University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

On behalf of myself and people with severe IBS, I hereby grant everyone on Bluesky a license to make fun of Trump for crapping himself, without social repercussions for mocking him.

It's not about other people having intestinal issues. It's Mister-I'm-Better-Than-Everyone having them.

"With Closure, Kennedy Center Follows the Path of Trump Steaks, Trump Plaza, and Trump Vodka"
Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.
Alternatives:
"With Artists and Audience Fleeing, Trump Closes Kennedy Center Indefinitely"
"Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"
Breaking news: President Trump said that the Kennedy Center could temporarily close for roughly two years to undergo construction.

NEW: The Justice Department published dozens of unredacted images of nude women (and possibly teens) as part of its Epstein release.

The faces of those people were also left unredacted.

The Kennedy Center has been in continuous operation for 55 years.

Trump and Ric Grenell destroyed it in one year by making it so toxic that nobody will perform there.

Now they have to shut it down like a Trump casino.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

What kind of life have I led, people? I admit, I have done some stuff and seen some shit, but how did I come across this stuff?

Ok, this is ridiculous. Especially the sequence I'm finding these in.

The picture in the quoted post was 2007. It's animal crackers. Animal crackers that appear to be, um, copulating in a particular style.

The picture I am about to post is December 2004. I think it was at a Seoul bus terminal.

Pic taken in April 2007. Not a day goes by that I don't think of the fornication and intimacy of the cracker thanks to Ben Affleck in that horrific movie about asteroids when he's talking to Liv Tyler.

Anyway, in actually, I don't really think about this cracker. I just found the pic on an old HD.

i think we often neglect the degree to which nixon’s resignation was a result of him having a mental breakdown over the mounting stress of Watergate and other humiliations

he was joking about a gun in his desk. he was talking to Kennedy’s portrait. he was drunk dialing DC personalities at 2:00 AM

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
