Reminds me of that classic Soviet joke: Q: How is caviar consumed in the Soviet Union? A: By the people's duly constituted representatives.

A new FORBES study: the Trump effect is accelerating the concentration of wealth in the hands of the wealthiest 0.0001% of the world.
Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.
Dumbest news of the week so far, and thatβs saying something

These fuckers. The Capitol police must be so pissed. This is beyond insulting.
Itβs a start, I suppose, but the whole lot needs to go.
βPete Hegseth is an unfit disgrace who lacks every quality of integrity, decency and wisdom a man whose work involves sending others to die should possess. He is callous, cruel, arrogant, selfish, extreme, and very stupid.β

MAGA don't care that President Pedophilia lies to them? When they find out about all the children he raped, they're going to feel even dumber that they supported that kind of trash.

Hey Nick Shirley β¦ any insight here?

BREAKING: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Sonny Burton.
The state was set to execute Sonny for a crime he didn't commit, but tens of thousands of people nationwide demanded justice β and our voices were heard.

Murphy: βI think itβs likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school β I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war β I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadershipβ
Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.
I can so relate to this.
My initial reaction: it's impossible that the FBI and DOJ didn't know about this at the highest levels. Which means they covered up Epstein's murder and consciously lied to the public about it. Which means we should be highly skeptical of every claim they make about Epstein. bsky.app/profile/ms.n...

Trump did pretty much everything that a foreign power could have done to drive the largely disaffected citizens of Iran into the hands of their bloodthirsty authoritarian leaders. Well done, indeed.
Austin Kocher and the Archbishop of San Antonio are saying essentially the same thing: "The conversion that ICE is attempting, from warehouse to human storage, is not a renovation so much as a statement about what this administration believes immigrants are."
Most of the world despises us, and none of our allies respect Trump. But our enemies love him. He is easy to use, easy to fool, and easy to play. Just offer bribes and public praise and he'll do whatever you want.
A win! A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from gutting the appeals process for migrants facing deportation stopping a planned overhaul that would have automatically thrown out all appeals
At least some Americans are benefiting from Trumpβs Iran War.
FOR THE LOVE OF GODβ¦
Can we STOP with this βspecial relationshipβ BS
And alsoβ¦can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!
Itβs coming on Iran.
Lunatic Lindsey not helping Trumpβs cause
This becomes even more galling when you realize Donald only wore a cap to the "dignified" transfer because the slob is more worried about the appearance of his hair in wind than presence of soldiers in coffins.
As though we needed any more evidence that Fox "News" is a mendacious propaganda machine and not remotely a serious journalistic enterprise.
Still, this is pretty astounding.
