He is such a LOSER, my god.
President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend.

"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

As a veteran's daughter, I say this with my whole chest: What a fucking disgrace this "president" is. How dare he hijack a day that is about honor and sacrifice, two things he knows nothing about. He and his sycophants are such losers.
Is anyone persuaded by this shit? Like I can’t imagine being like this is a very normal and healthy way for the president to behave

The stupidity. It burns.
A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.
RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."

Why in the HELL is every one of these kidnappings in broad daylight not being reported as such? Masked men in vans snatching people without legal proof is fucking KIDNAPPING. And from a courthouse? Where were the cops to stop this? Why did they let it happen?
Purported ICE agents raid a courthouse in Charlottesville in plain clothes without badges, ID or warrants, cart off two men without explanation. One of the three men was masked and the detainees were ushered into unmarked van. Video in the article. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

@markwarner.bsky.social Please, as your constituent I am begging you to shut down the government rather than give an inch to this disastrous spending bill. This is a perilous time for our country, and we need champions.

I am on the fence about whether they should have attended this clown show, but since they did they have the responsibility to challenge every one of his lies and not let him complete a single sentence with his forked tongue.
Keep booing him. He’s getting pissed. Let him go off the rails.

Re: The U.S. Administration's recent social media post about "illegal" protests on university campuses...please contact your alma maters ASAP asking them how they intend to protect their students. University directories are usually available online. If not, write to the Alumni Office.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Yeah, this has been on my mind from the start. We are an unreliable ally now, no matter what happens in the future. We'll never get back the influence we had. We've been ruined as a country.
ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs
America is over. There is no coming back from this.

If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.

The rest of the world has to move on from us.

They now know that the American people can't be trusted.

They're right.
