In Soviet Union they used to tell a joke about a man who buys the newspaper every AM, looks at the front page, curses, & throws it away.

"Why do you keep doing that?," the seller asks.

"I’m looking for an obituary."

"But those aren't on the front page!"

..."Oh, the one I’m looking for will be."

Hard pressed to think of a news story more frightening than this. This could be you, and if you don't get that, your head is up your ass

this seems like an outtake from @stephencolbert.bsky.social 's second drafts bit.

In the first draft, the cover said "Happy Easter to All" and inside "I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very happy easter"

and then the felon got hold of it...
And here's #Felon #trump Easter message.

Martha Stewart went to prison for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the insider trading fraud that trump just pulled off.

its such an every day occurrence that its not even scandalous. Forget about '"what if obama did this?". How about "what if Bush II did this?"

How bad of a businessman do you have to be to bankrupt a casino? this bad... the signs were there that maybe, juuuust maybe, donald trump doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

building his brand as the worlds most hated douchebag.

an out of state billionaire handing out million dollar checks to buy votes, then losing in a landslide feels pretty good today.

maga 'First they came'

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out.
Because, you mean like Bernie Sanders? who gives a shit

Then they came for the immigrants, and I didn't give a rats ass.
even though my dad is an immigrant. But he did it legally and he's white and not a criminal

Elise Stefanik dialed up her maga to 11, tanking her own reputation as a republican with a moral compass, believing she would get rewarded by the orange con man. but now she learned that backing the rapist occupying the white house means dogshit to him.

i was away from Earth for a few days and returned to this dizzying and stunning display of stupidity by the thinkless tank responsible for our nation's security.

incredible reporting by Jeffrey Goldberg, who of course has been named the real enemy here by the white house.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Tesla's Stock price is never coming back. if you're an investor hanging on for the big bounce, it isn't going to come. dump it.

This isn't a normal slide... the CEO of the company is an out and proud nazi. No PR campaign is coming to fix this. Tesla is cooked.
