This is very much how religions start. Maybe we should tax the hell out of a billionaire right before gas prices go down again, then buy billboards that create a causal link.

mods! mods!!! politics is interested in me again even though I SAID Iβm NOT interested in it!
One should never forget, the word βRepresentativeβ actually means something.
Spend 10 minutes listening to any conservative talking social policyβ¦ I donβt care how βniceβ they seem in idle chit chat. They are as morally bankrupt, cowardly, and antiAmerican as those they elect.

You donβt need an education and a good work ethic.
You apparently only need to be born or married into the right family, and throw away any sense of morality or integrity into the garbage disposal, and just plain grift
This is the American Exceptionalism
Watching these guys learn basic geopolitics in real time is incredible. Ah so that's why you need allies. I see
I love these journalistic fictions that normalize the administration and act like there are reasonable people there working to intelligently rein in dangerous impulses
I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability π
Donald Trump on Truth Social on March 7th: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. Thatβs OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we donβt need them any longer β But we will remember. We donβt need people that join Wars after weβve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump Truth Social post on March 14th begging nations (including the UK) to send ships: Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iranβs attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iranβs Military capability, but itβs easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
A story in two farcical acts.
Would be nice to have a President who has reached the stage where he has object permanence.

While Republican politicians around the country are helping TPUSA set up student groups in public schools, the guy who hosted TPUSAβs alternative halftime show and who frequently appeared with Charlie Kirk on his podcast is repping McCarthyism 2.0.
I don't think this will work. The voters have determined your service literally does not count if you are a Democrat. Kerry getting three purple hearts and Walz retiring after 24 years were seen as proof of cowardice compared to ANG cowboy and cadet bone spurs.
Rich people tend to be stupid. A lot of the tech oligarchs envision a future of serfs, soldiers, and themselves as an aristocracy.
None of them seem to realize that if the smoothest path to advancement is assassination, that tends to be how leadership transitions in those circumstances.
Do I trust The Regimeβs attempt to pivot on vaccines and distance themselves from their anti-public health campaign?
Absolutely not. And while I donβt think a victory lap is warranted, I do believe that it is the massive pushback from all of us that is having an impact.
Keep going, fam. π

I mean, who could have possibly predicted...
PSA: if youβre somebody who runs air purifiers in your house all the time and you ever smell gas in your house even a little bit intermittently, get your house checked for gas leaks. They can apparently go otherwise unnoticed for a really long time if your HEPA filters are good enough π³
This move is so incredibly dumb, and ultimately so destructive to our understanding of extreme weather and of climate change, that it could only have come from the Trump administration. Truly dangerous idiocy. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/c...

Saw a story about someone scaring off a mountain lion by playing Metallica at it on her phone, and now Iβm wondering:
What music DO we think hungry mountain lions hate most?
Remember when they declared they had restored free speech and ended federal censorship on Trump's very first day back?
Well, now they're openly bragging about all the journalists they got fired for saying the wrong thing and all the companies the federal government forced to make changes.
Is not tomorrow, boy, the ides of March?
The SAVE America Act requires voters to have proof of citizenship with them to vote β not just your driverβs license, but a passport or birth certificate.
This is a Republican attempt at voter suppression β plain and simple.
Itβs hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.
