Every patriotic American should apply for a job at ICE. If you get it, just be a deadbeat and don't detain anyone until they fire you and hire another secret deadbeat

Today's Supreme Court decision is another reminder that Trump ruined America in his first term already by packing the court with right wing zealots. And that the quest to ruin America has has been part of institutional conservatism for decades

You know, even in the best case scenario that we arrest America's rapid decline into totalitarianism, we still have a Supreme Court that is packed with loony right wing radicals for a generation. It might not be possible to steer America back onto the road

If Trump is going to fling out arbitrary and capricious new tariffs every few days then it doesn't take a genius of a trading partner to simply cut America out of global trade. We're the isolationist smelly kid in the world because we let a megalomaniac toddler president throw tantrums

Remember the good old days when "assault on the 1st amendment" was social media fact checking, college cancel culture, and Hunter Biden's laptop? Seems quaint, now that we're the evil empire dispatching secret police to disappear dissidents

I always thought "Abolish ICE" was a bad slogan for a reasonable idea to restructure DHS for more holistic and humane execution of immigration policy. Now that Trump is turning them into the SS, and agents seem all too happy to disappear non-criminal dissidents: Abolish ICE.

"I'm going to bring down prices and make you rich" has turned into, literally, "I'm going to cause a recession on purpose but it's good for you." In 7 weeks. And they still lick the boots

Dark cloud: Trump is destroying everything so fast that by 2028 there won't be an America to save or an election to save it. Silver lining: he's destroying everything SO fast that 2026 could be a historic wave that puts large enough supermajorities in Congress to impeach and convict

Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman Amid Turmoil at Pentagon
The decision to fire Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. reflects the president’s insistence that the military’s leadership is too mired in diversity issues and has lost sight of its combat role.

Mainstream media you've had 10 years to figure out how to handle Trump's blizzard of lies. Progress in fact checking is OK, but how can you still be credulously parroting ersatz declarations of motives?

Bring back "alleged". "DOGE is ALLEGEDLY searching for fraud", because that's obviously a lie.

Placing my bet: Congress fails to pass CR, debt ceiling hike, and tax cuts. Trump "saves the day" by completely ignoring the law, finishes DOGE shutdown of whatever he doesn't like, funds what he pleases with debt, and orders IRS to stop collecting income tax

Placing my bet: Russia and US agree to joint military enforcement if Ukraine or Europe don't agree to demands - that Russia gets east Ukraine ("historical justice") and US gets west Ukraine ($ "payback"). Europe objects. US drops from NATO. WWIII. We're the baddies alongside Russia and China
