Probably the best line I’ve seen on here recently:

The media is made up of cowards who are looking for a boot to stamp on their faces.

Trump is not America First. He is Russia First, Qatar Second, Argentina Third. Not sure if America even makes it into the top 10.

The utter inability of legacy news media to be able to deal with being straight-up lied to is one of the primary drivers of this mess.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

I am glad that you're reading Truth Social so that the rest of us don't have to.

More Adventures in Detaining Brown People. Which the Supreme Court thinks is just peachy.

Actually, it does work like that now. The US Congress could pass a resolution giving Trump a Nobel Prize, the White House would host a formal ceremony, and within months it would become “true” for half of the country that Trump had won a Nobel Prize.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

(It doesn't work like that lol)

Hey, DT, now that you don’t have to chase the Nobel Peace Prize for another year, this is a great time to release the Epstein Files!

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Yes, but didn't the Luftwaffe have a facility at Luke AFB during the Cold War?

Stephanie Belser 🌻 @steph1873.bsky.social · 1d

This seems appropriate. Not the circumstances, the sentiment.

Good on Human Rights Watch for not letting them greenwash their filthy money and their consciences.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

I anticipate that it will become harder for the DoJ to get convictions in other cases.

Like it was after Spiro Agnew pled out.

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 1d

Banana republic shit.

If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

“I’ve placed circumcised and uncircumcised penises in my mouth and the circumcised ones tasted like autism.”

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 2d

RFK Jr: Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol.

Trump: There's a tremendous amount of of proof or evidence. I would say as a non-doctor, but I've studied this a long time

Am I an asshole for rooting for the Blue Jays in the playoffs, because if they win, that'll drive MAGA and Dementia Patient One absolutely batty.

Pee-Wee German (he/himmler) might even suffer another case of on-camera brainlock.
