“The Kiss of Death” from Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona. An inscription reads: "So his youthful heart is fading. In his veins his blood is freezing, and all strength has slipped away. Faith is leveled as he falls into the arms of Death. Alas!”

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Trump is about to get another physical that says he's 6'4", 180lbs, and has a 10" cock. Daring us once again to disbelieve our lying eyes.

The first time that happened should've been the end. We let him skate on the little lies. We let him skate on trivial, but simple transparency. It escalated.
REPORTER: President Trump looks healthier than ever before. I'm sure everybody in this room could agree. Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy and is he eating less McDonald's?

LEAVITT: I can confirm the president is in very good shape

"Trump is risking our economy to bring back factory jobs that pay far less than jobs in fast-growing sectors like health care, clean energy, or data science.

Howard Lutnick is on TV raving about shifting Americans to work on “screwing in little screws to make iPhones.”

"It was the worst type of magical thinking to imagine Trump would have any serious constraints in a second term ... If his voters believed he wouldn’t be stupid and malevolent enough to obliterate the economy for no good reason, they simply didn’t pay attention to his first term or 2024 campaign."
Yes, they voted for this

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.
The Christian Nationalist Plot to Disenfranchise Women Voters
The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls.

I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

Tesla owners are getting fed up with the brand. Polestar wants to reel them in, and it seems to be working.

How many times will #Oscars2025 winners allude to Trump's war on DEI, and will anyone top Jane Fonda's inspirational, historically resonant SAG awards speech, complete with a sampler-worthy, campaign trail-ready definition of woke? My latest @thebulwark.bsky.social
#Oscars #Oscars2025
"'Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke,' Jane Fonda said, and added a money quote that MAGA opponents should repeat on a loop right through 2028: 'Woke just means you give a damn about other people.'"

These fascist monsters are committed to the creation of a New Axis of Evil in which Trump and Musk work with Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Netanyahu, Milei, Modi, MBS, MBZ, Orbán, Erdoğan and other butchers to subjugate the decent folks on Earth

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.
