What a total douchebag
The responses from MTG and Thomas Massie are examples of how deciding not to comply with Trump’s lotalty tests sets you free.

GOP: Wouldn’t that feel soooo good???
Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Trump’s vile tweet following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele

Hahahahaha
And you will accept this obvious lie because we think you and the American public are very stupid. No more questions.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

What the fuck. We’re just stealing shit now. Republican oversight is dead
Why are we putting the lives of US military members at risk in support of blatantly illegal acts? Doesn't anybody in the Congress take their oath seriously?

Farmers don't want a bailout. They just want an equal playing field. Funny how they only needed bailouts two times and both times were a direct result of Trump's tariffs.
Brooke Rollins: "This country and our farm economy is facing a crisis that we inherited that most of these farmers have not seen in their lifetime. Profitability is down -- it's just one crisis after another."

Great news!
Great news to share, folks:

I was just self-awarded the Tom Schaller Peace Prize. I’m the inaugural and also sole and final recipient, unless of course I decide to award it to myself again next year.

Please shower me with praise, adulation and confetti emojis. I deserve it all!

Is this a Saturday Night Live skit?
Let’s check in on how the Republican coverup of Trump’s age and health is going to
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

It is a huge crisis. Trump is obviously not running the show anymore. He doesn’t even know who he pardons! Which Republican is going step up?
December 3, 2025 at 5:06 AM
There is no war. He’s a fucking disaster
1. This is not what fog of war means.
2. There is no war
3. He's trying to distance himself from murders he had direct responsibility over
4. All I can think of when I hear this phrase now is Elon Musk complaining that he hates chess because it has no fog of war.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

You would be embarrassed and horrified if your father or grandfather said this
I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."
December 2, 2025 at 9:13 PM
This is fucking insane.
He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?
ICE detains young woman who came to courthouse to report being sexually assaulted—hasn't been heard from since.

"She's victim of sexual assault," witness tells agent. "And you're arresting her and kidnapping her?"

"Bro, why you grabbing her so tight? You're a big man!"

Ok. He’s pardoning a convicted drug kingpin and starting a war with Venezuela to stop drug trafficking. Solid policy man.

I tossed my subscription long ago
Having often given NYT headline-writers a hard time, let me be sure to congratulate whoever decided on "Tosses" for this breaking news.

Nicely done! Keep it up.

Testing?? You’re not fucking paying attention
There is no ceasefire.
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.

Hate Symbols. That’s a great way to put it George. Leading by hating
They are hate symbols, no matter what the Coast Guard puts in its revised regulations.

That’s spot on Nick. She has no bottom either apparently
This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

What Max said
Republicans in Congress can’t be counted on to condemn their leader calling for the execution of their legislative colleagues.

They are a profoundly pathetic and anti-American group of cucks.

He looks a little bit like Bob Barker. wtf is elon doing in there?
the back of Trump's hand looked gnarly again today

Where was this grit during the shutdown?
Yes. This is the way we must be.

He ordered the hit.
In normaler times, this is front page, above the fold, all caps behavior by an American president
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
November 18, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Quiet Piggy?? What is he? 10 years old? wtf so embarrassing
I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.

I mean, I do. But still.

How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.
