US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”
US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”
Well things have gotten much much much much stupider
😕
Hard NO!! Also, no backing for Democrats that vote to support this unconstitutional bill. We’re going to need names.
It's so unfair of Donald to make W look wise in comparison.
I used to think, "We will never have another president as dumb as George W. Bush." Boy, was I ever wrong.

This press conference gave me chills. And not the good kind.
It’s not the Save America Act, it’s the Stop Americans Voting Act.
QUESTION: What the hell does “no men in women’s sports” have to do with voting?
ANSWER: Absolutely nothing. Republicans are trying to force Dems into bad optics.
Fortunately for Donald, he's too stupid to realize that having other stupid people for fans is the *opposite* of flattering.

Visiting various agency portals, entering my home state, seeing zeo jobs appear, being told to try changing my parameters -- that's supposed to happen, right?
Trump on cutting drug prices: "It's driving the fake news crazy, because I say '400 percent, 500 percent, 600,' depending on the way you want to talk about it."
Two words:
Market manipulation.
absolutely deranged headline from the depths of hell
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Tweet by Philip Proudfoot saying Switzerland stopped being neutral after condemning U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of international law, quoting an Al Jazeera Breaking News headline.
A Swiss kick in the ass.
After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors.
I'm reminded of the words of MLK:
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
America's fascist right has pulled a 180 and is selling the idea that expensive gasoline is a good thing. Americans have failed a lot of intelligence tests in the last decade. This is another one.
"THANK YOUUU!"
Stop 👏 having 👏 unrealistic 👏 body 👏 standards 👏 for 👏 camels 👏
Hey, if we’re ending the illegal war in Iran, can we get back to the whole “the President of the United States is credibly accused of abusing little kids in the Epstein files” conversation? That seemed important, and I’d love to circle back to it.
reality, or an early draft of next Saturday's SNL cold open? you decide
oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!
So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
Trump: "I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? We could use it. Why did we sink them?' He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.' They like sinking them better."
Not only does a certain cafe chain need to be unionized; it needs bouncers.
Okay, gownups, where else can we go? Nearly 20 kids just entered the cafe.
If you’re bitching about the Live Nation/Ticketmaster settlement w/DOJ for less than 1% of their profits last year and not mentioning Kellyanne Conway negotiated the settlement w/her friends in Trump administration you’re doing it wrong. This is how corruption works, folks.
everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah. the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda. that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.
did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c
Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
