Trump pardoning a convicted drug trafficker while claiming he’s “fighting cartels” isn’t irony; it’s pay-to-play. If you’ve got dirty money, Trump’s got favors. Americans harmed? Not his concern.

Trump blames this year’s GOP election losses partly on the shutdown; but mostly on the fact that he wasn’t on the ballot. He’s telling them to do whatever it takes (break laws, defy courts) to get him on the ballot in 2028. His insinuation is that he’ll let them ride his coattails to victory, too.

Which means Zelensky is even more Churchillian than we realized. Imagine having to fend off unrelenting Russians on the eastern front, steady increasingly wobbly allies on the western front, and police congenitally corrupt Ukrainians on the home front…

At some point even MAGA foil hats are going to realize that if Trump-admin officials keep blaming Democrats for everything, it might make sense to elect Democrats to clean up their mess. After all, Republicans are unwittingly admitting they can’t govern… only complain.

Because he's too weak to take responsibility for anything bad that happens on his watch. And he's too stupid and careless to realize that, with his collective punishment plot," he's now provoking more Aghans to commit similar acts of terrorism.

Except that this is wholly consistent with the Orwellian games their leader, Netanyahu, is playing with Palestinian lives. You know, signing a peace deal as a pretext to continue waging war...

Putin is showing just what unbridled contempt he has for Trump and his Nobel-begging “peace” theatrics. Frankly, Putin is making Trump look like an even bigger chump than Hitler made Chamberlain look, except Trump isn’t waving a bogus peace treaty… he’s just waving.

Sure, because nothing says “national security” quite like using racist immigration policies to radicalize desperate asylum seekers, then deploying US soldiers as sitting ducks to absorb the blowback of your own stupidity.

If the other members had any self-respect, they'd insist that Trump invite South Africa, or face a boycott in solidarity with it...

Except that these dismissed lawfare cases against James Comey and Letitia James were only ever intended to inflict emotional distress, financial costs, and public humiliation. So no matter the final disposition, Trump will stamp it “Mission Accomplished” in due course...

Got it! Tariffs are so great for the American people that this gilded-tower grifter is now reducing them like prices at a clearance-day sale. Because MAGA lying and gaslighting know no bounds…

Because Trump is hell-bent not just on stoking political division between red and blue states, but on inciting civil war. Here's to Democrats not just fighting back, but paying back, too...

Because, for MAGA, government jobs are foremost opportunities for self-enrichment, self-dealing, self-promotion, and self-aggrandizement...

Here’s to Tapper continuing on his road to redemption. Way to stick it to this Hippocratic hypocrite. He not only betrayed his oath by voting for RFK Jr as HHS secretary, but keeps playing deaf, dumb, and blind as RFK Jr causes all kinds of harm to the American people...
