This administration reminds me of those Road Runner scenes where the coyote would go off the cliff on his contraption, then desperately blow and blow to try to get it to the other side before he plunged into the gorge.

Wait, he's releasing oil from the strategic reserve? The one he didn't refill? For a crisis he created?

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

Any elected dem who thinks the left is the problem needs to be dropped into a volcano.

Fetterman imagines himself flying the plane. Then he gasps and groans in ecstasy. Then the post-nut clarity sets in, but just for a few minutes.

I just thought it was strange wording. The meme makes it sound like bringing down trump is a sacrifice we might have to make to get the epstein files out.

It's gravy, actually.

Great tune.

And I love the way Joan Jett kept the pronouns intact in her scorching version.

The ADL defended Elon after his nazi salute. All you need to know about them.

So Iran has an even more hardline government than before, Hormuz is closed, gas prices have leapfrogged, we've lost at least eight US servicemen, and there is no exit strategy.

Operation Epic Fail.

And if we already won, why does the war need more funding?

"Even"?

I wonder if the armed forces are aware they're being led by a prissy, delicate snowflake.

He's right. No other president has enjoyed such a herd of supine enablers with no self-respect.

"Disillusioned" implies having great expectations for this guy to begin with.

Which raises the question, what on earth is in our water?

I wish more people would learn this.

We're all much closer to homelessness than to real wealth.

You never know when you're going to need those social programs you complain about paying taxes for.

If a man whose entire life has been one of conning and swindling others makes me a promise, I tend not to believe him.

But I'm weird that way.

As most of you all know, this is a lie.

The fact that Target paid off a few stooges to "announce" the end of the boycott indicates how desperate they are. This boycott has stung.

And I'm not ending it either.

It's time for ICE to return the favor and ship off to Iran.

Our politicians have always shaded and bent the truth here and there -- sometimes more than here and there.

But this administration lies so blatantly, so shamelessly, and so regularly.

And almost never gets called out on it.

How unpopular is trump?

The legacy media is pulling out all the stops to fluff him and prop him up.

The Democrats' opposition is unfocused, tepid, and scattershot.

And his party is STILL getting pasted to the wall in every election.

11.03.2026 14:40 ๐Ÿ‘ 5 ๐Ÿ” 2 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Because DOJ has been captured by trump toadies.

You don't need an article to explain that.

Politico, as always, running interference for the power structures.

The problem with this country is (a) that we have a two-tiered justice system, and (b) that too many people in the second tier are perfectly fine with that.

Well, his cult IS that stupid.

But the dems could do worse than to throw that assertion in his face and force him to defend it.

The last song on the Kinks' final album. A meditation on the passing of Ray and Dave's mother.

Netanyahu's war has something like 90% support in Israel.

I feel bad for the 10% that don't deserve this, and wish them continued safety.

I'm sure the media and the public will give full credit to the Democrats for this move, and it will result in Dem landslides in November, because the party is so good at publicizing its achievements.

(Big honking /s)

This wouldn't be too bad if the Dems made sure they got the credit. But they won't.

That said, it's really not going to make all that much difference in context. 4.00 a gallon isnt really much better than 4.18 a gallon.

Good description of the Republican Party for the last 40 years.
