Trump is using your tax money to strongarm his critics. It’s what dictators do.

Even with golfing like 30% of the time, he’s still managed to fuck shit up immeasurably. Can you imagine if he never golfed and always just “presidented”? So yeah…I say just let the dude just golf. Golf every day. Golf more. Fuck shit up less. Dear LORD this will be a long 4 years.

The unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil is one of the most extreme threats to free speech in 50 years.

Trump is sending a message that people who speak out will be punished — but we have a message for him, too.

We'll see you in court.

Opinion | This Is the Greatest Threat to Free Speech Since the Red Scare

Mahmoud Khalil’s detention is a frightening sign of an authoritarian slide.

Our wonderful “leader” has announced they will be DOUBLING the tariffs on Canadian steel/aluminum to 50%. This petulance is UNACCEPTABLE in a leader. Our lives and livelihoods are NOT A GAME but he is treating it as such. “Well they pissed me off so I’ll double down.” Fuck him. This shit is EVIL.

Our country will now be destroyed exponentially faster because of our leader’s GREED and INABILITY/lack of desire to have diplomatic and mutually beneficial relationships with other countries.

Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees ... we don't need anything from Canada."

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

NATO was created by the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949, approved by the Senate, 83 to 13, and signed into law.

Under the Constitution, the president must "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

If Trump won't uphold the Treaty, he must be EXPELLED from office.

Pretty sure Musk wears tshirts in the Oval Office so who the fuck cares?! All I know is that only a-holes comment negatively about someone’s appearance upon first saying hello. No, it’s not a joke. It’s the personality of a bully.

Trump greets Zelenskyy at the White House.

Trump: “He’s all dressed up today.”

Unnecessary, shitbag comment.

Zelenskyy has consistently worn wartime apparel to show solidarity with the Ukrainian armed forces. He’s said he will continue wearing it until Ukraine achieves victory.

Random Rhetorical Questions From A Nobody #25491:

For those of us who work, imagine a new CEO comes to town and just fires everyone but expects things to keep running and working.

It doesn’t work, does it? It causes unemployment and causes the company’s efficiency to likely get worse, right?

Just remember, it’s only been a month. Many citizens may feel like they haven’t been affected by anything at all, but the ripple effects of all of these enormous decisions will be felt by all, some sooner than later. It’s only been a month. Literally everyone will be affected in some way.

67 fake bomb threats on Election Day 2024.

Almost all of them targeting heavily Democratic cities — which had lower turnout than in 2020.

Many of the threats were clearly traced to Russia.

And the mainstream media and establishment have somehow COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.
