Really. He suffers from a serious lack of functioning brain cells.
Pritzker saying exactly what so many of us think.
JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Even if someone explained to him the difference between political asylum and insane asylums it would just go in one ear and out the other. Because there’s nothing in between the ears to stop it.
Is there ever going to be an interviewer who pushes back and tells him that immigrants seeking asylum is different than insane asylums?
O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?

TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

“We will rebuild the White House as it was and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, the Trump Organization, and his family.”
You know what day should be a national holiday in 2029?

THE DAY OF THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLDOZING OF THE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BALLROOM.

This makes me sick.
That’s our House, our history.

The fact that it happened today stinks of retribution for Saturday.

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.
No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.
Part of White House Is Reduced to Rubble. Trump’s Ballroom Will Rise in Its Place.

Huh, interesting. Several justices on the Supreme Court are supposedly members of Opus Dei.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

I saw some Mets-related comment yesterday that immediately made me think “oh gawd, this offseason is going to be unbearable.” (Pun only slightly intended…)
Hah! If anyone was proof of that…
Really. Just amazing levels of stupidity.
Yep. Trump has a child’s understanding of religious belief, and his kids are no better.

It is alarming that the Trump Admin & rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child from Everett, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away & reportedly subject him to harrowing conditions.

They must stop violating our constitutional rights.

My full statement:
Christ on a pogo stick, no one in that family has the slightest understanding of Christianity.
Eric Trump: "If he wasn't heaven-bound, he wouldn't have been alive after Butler. If he wasn't heaven-bound, that flag wouldn't have folded up like a perfect angel right above his head. If he wasn't heaven-bound, if he wasn't meant for this purpose, he wouldn't have beaten Hillary."

I support the frog resistance. 🐸

God doesn’t need saving.

They’re not saving Christianity—they may, in fact, be actively destroying it.
Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

God Bless America is just a song by Irving Berlin. It’s not the national anthem. America is so far down the moron hole it will never get out

The Trump administration wants us to believe that they are all-powerful forces who control everything and can be reined in by neither Congress nor the Supreme Court, but if anything goes wrong, it's Mastermind Chuck Schumer's fault.
BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision
This is a great book if you want a better understanding of religion in the US. Highly recommended. Also, if you‘re interested in the intersection of religion and politics in the US and you’re not following Jack, you need to fix that.
So, the religious left (broadly speaking) got a lot of attention this week.

If you’re curious to know more about the modern religious left — the iterations that have emerged in the last 10-20 years — I, uh, wrote a book about it. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0062...

”Waste, fraud, and abuse” is sending $20 billion to Argentina while cutting Medicaid and other resources for the poor.
There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?
