This is when I knew Xi was going to take this babbling fool to the cleaners, and us in the process.

An inconvenient fact of American history is that it would not exist without the aid of its first alliance with France. Allies are what ensures America’s future as it has always been so in the past. Trump will destroy the American experiment if not stopped.

Not a widely known fact that Muslims and Jews fought for the then fledgling United States in the War for Independence. Unlike the Germans of Trump’s ancestors who fought against us with the British.

The mainstream media has surrendered to King Donald. It lies curled up in the foetal position quivering in terror lest it be sued or its broadcast license revoked. We are on our own.
The tariffs themself are illegal but there's no fucking way Trump can executively appropriate $12 billion dollars to farmers without congressional approval can some major media organization please mention this.

This is supposed to be the point where shareholders decide that money is only good when you don’t live in North Korea or Russia.

But we know what happens don’t we?
If you think Paramount is just trying to buy Warner Brothers so Ellison can stop CNN from criticizing Trump… you’re right!

Big deal. Not like anyone watches the Cap’n Crunch of cable MSM
How about we don't follow Hungary's lead
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

Why bother. What’s next? An in-depth essay on his lies perhaps?
WATCH: Tapper & CNN finally get around to debunking Trump’s “I ended 8 wars” lie 🤥

Christmas looms with no gifts procured, bad habits clinging stubbornly to the bone. Anxieties escalate like the rising tide, all things not in their places as the mad man howls at the moon. There'll be no peace of mind for you young man as ye will'd it, your future lies in your hand.

MAGA Traitors Need to "Go Back" and Leave America

If the GOP hates the Constitution, diversity, free and fair elections, voting rights, and the concept of separation of church and state, then maybe it hates America & should leave.

It took me 21 hours to drive from San Diego to Portland Oregon back in 1980 when I was young and stupid. If I want to drive from the southern part of Queensland to 75% of the way to the top of the state it will take me almost the same amount of time.

How hard would it be for BlueSky to implement an algorithm that defrocks accounts that have zero posts and less than 100 followers. I’d gladly sacrifice half my followers to avoid seeing another sexbot

An example of long shot text scamming. What are the odds that your name is Meghan or that you ordered yourself some from Kmart recently?

Hi Harpo! Your order from Brooks Brothers….

The US is mindlessly humiliating itself
Reporter: You said he would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd

Trump: I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news. Whatever Hegseth decides is ok with me… Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious reporter. Actually, a terrible reporter.

We shall wait to see if Mad King Donald sends in the Marines.
Don't they know he illegally made jokes about Trump

And rightly so. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. There is no way that the US would have allowed Japan in WW2 to occupy Hawaii or California simply to sue for peace.
