Today seems like the right day to remind everyone that Bolton could have testified at Trump's impeachment, but decided he needed to save what he knew to profit off his book.

Once you are out of Trump's direct orbit, he could care less about you. He gives no loyalty.

Have the day you deserve John.

Yesterday's blatant maket manipulation and insider trading likely further enriched many in Trump's direct orbit.

This reminded me that because money buys influence and power in our elections, repealing Citizens United at the first possible opportunity needs to be a top priority. Companies ≠ people.

April 1st is April Fools Day. April 2nd should not be known as Liberation Day.

April 2nd needs to be labeled MAGA Fools Day because today is the day Trump decided to destroy the economy, world trade, and turn most of our allies against us.

Be proud, MAGA, own the policies you proudly voted for.

It feels like every day, we move one step closer to confirming that Idiocracy was as prophetic a warning as Orwell's 1984.

If you saw someone dressed like this in the office of another world leader, I'm betting you would think less of that country and not take them seriously.

Repubs out of power: We will slow or stop the Dem agenda at every opportunity.

Dems in power: We can't get anything done. Let's be bipartisan and compromise.

Dems out of power: We are helpless. See this strongly worded letter we wrote.

Repubs in power: Fuck you, we do what we want. Go cry libs.

Trump claiming to rescind the pardons issued by Biden because of auto-pen is pure stupidity. Maybe the next Dem president can rescind Trump's pardons because he signs them in marker?

The country is in dire need of real leadership, not manic tweets and unhinged policies from a lying golf champion.

This should be a story from The Onion, but it is the sad reality we are living in. Beyond ridiculous.

When Dems retake power and control all three branches (such as they are) again, can POTUS sign an EO scrubbing all mentions of Trump from every area of government?

Military to remove 'Enola Gay' photos for violating DEI rules
A photo of Army biologists was on a list of images to be purged, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish that included their gender.

I just spent some time lurking over on Reddit at r/conservative. What an eye opener there, it's all high fives and fever dreams of Trump owning the libs, best speech ever and such.

This further solidifies for me that MAGA will never be changed or saved. They are in a cult and Trump is their deity.

Seeing these firings from various agencies of "non-partisan career bureaucrats" makes me wonder if they should now become more partisan.

The GOP has completely abandoned them and is acting like their jobs were waste, fraud and abuse. They may want to keep that in mind when voting in the future.

The way that the Trump admin is systematically firing senior employees that are black, brown, LGBTQ+, or women because of "DEI" is terrible.

When dems retake power at some point, I wonder if the GOP and MAGA would be ok with all straight, white, Christian, men being fired because of who they are?

Trump says he and Elon are going to Ft. Knox to verify the gold is there. How can this be trusted with these two crooks?

Other countries have their reserves there as well. Why would they trust Trump not to seize assets or do something else similarly stupid?

Members of the press that travel with the President on AF1 should pay close attention to see if any boxes are being loaded on/off the plane if possible, especially on trips to MAL. You may be witnessing a crime.

We cannot forget that Trump took classified docs in the past and got away with it.

Trump took laps at the Daytona 500 today, like some tin-pot dictator. What a tool.

Somehow, we can spend millions on this stupidity and him being at the Super Bowl, but SNAP and cancer research need to be cut. Make it make sense.

How can anyone support such a shallow, self-absorbed person?

Since the Trump Admin is destroying scientific and medical research, can we agree that the next big disease or pandemic is named after Trump in some way while the next big vaccination or cure is named WOKE?

I want MAGA to have to ask for a WOKE vax or treatment and Trump's name to mean disease.

GOP members of Congress have had many chances along the way to stand up for democracy and the rule of law. They have failed at every point.

If just a few House and Senate GOP members could put country over party, history would remember them as patriots and heroes. Instead, they all bend the knee.

Apparently the new dress code to meet with the President in the Oval Office is the same as what I wear to run out for bagels and coffee in the morning.

Where are all those Republicans that cry about Fetterman's shorts and hoodie now?

This admin will break every single norm we have.

I believe there were 3 or 4 commercials during the Super Bowl that were about cancer research and prevention. Seems ironic since DOGE is trying to cancel NIH funding.

It's right up there with Snoop doing the anti-hate commercial with Brady after performing at the inauguration like a hypocrite simp.

Did Kendrick Lamar just single handedly bring bell bottoms back into style?

Is Mustard bringing back JNCOs?

Me, not knowing much current rap music: I don't know this one, but it's got a nice flow.

Other family: WTF? These are all bangers! I hope he does the Drake dis track.

I live under a rock
February 10, 2025 at 2:59 PM
Who would have thought that Vivek leaving DOGE just after the inauguration may have been the best thing to ever happen to him?

He's still a simp for Trump and a snake oil salesman, but he shouldn't have to worry about future jail time.

May he lose the Ohio Governor's race and go away forever.
