exactly so

What the Iranians need to do is to declare Trump an honorary Ayatollah, and give him a really, really, really big perade, and he’d let them enrich all the uranium they want

Just think: if people could’ve brought themselves to vote for the smart black lady, we would all be posting dog pictures and talking about the Tonys right now instead of crying and wondering when our democracy will breathe its last breath

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Yes, we should end taxes on tips Taxing tips generates practically no revenue, burdens workers, and fuels pointless IRS audits.

If you figure that the average tipped service employee is in the 12% tax bracket, that's about $4 billion to the IRS, in the context of a $6.9 trillion budget. All of the paperwork, hassle, and audits, just for $4 billion to the federal government, an amount it will burn through in 18 hours.

oh wow amazing way to fight back this will make them tremble in fear why do they even bother getting up in the morning

Hey Donold, if everyone is born perfect the way 'God made them' then why do you wear so much orange bronzer?

not bad! not bad at all! ragtime is not easy!

I used to play a little ragtime, many years ago, but these days play electric blues.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.

Trump administration pauses U.S. military aid to Ukraine The U.S. has been a key supplier of weapons for Ukraine as it continues to fend off the invasion launched by Russia three years ago.

First, Donald Trump blamed Zelenskyy for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Then, he says he “trusts” Putin.

Now, he’s frozen bipartisan military aid.

It’s clear that Donald Trump is putting his fragile ego before our national security — siding with Putin over U.S. allies in Europe.

How ‘Event Scripts’ Structure Our Personal Memories | Quanta Magazine By screening films in a brain scanner, neuroscientists discovered a rich library of neural scripts — from a trip through an airport to a marriage proposal — that form scaffolds for memories of our exp...

“[The notion of scripts] gives us a window into how we normally make sense of the world, and why the world can be a very confusing place if you have a breakdown in these processes,”

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

Two people disrespected the United States in the Oval Office today: President Trump and Vice President Vance.

One person spoke in the best of American tradition: President Zelensky.

It's a feeling of flailing for purchase but there's nothing to hold onto. Like Alice slow motion falling down that rabbit hole passing random stuff. If I write, will it be published? Will the whole climate of publishing change as corporations kneel to the new right? Will basic services go away?

RESOLVED: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is so much more expressive and therefore preferable than 🤷

lots of people rightfully hailing the great gene hackman performances but let me say a word for his role as the villain in sam raimi’s THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. he brings so much genuine menace to the performance, it’s electrifying

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.
